5. Install the Camera
The camera can be placed on surfaces or mounted to a wall using the included hardware.
-
Select a good spot:
Install the camera at a height of approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters) and angle it downwards by 10° to 15°. This positioning optimizes the motion detector. The motion sensor is sensitive to movements across the field of view. For best performance, ensure typical movements cross the field of view, within a range of 5 to 20 feet (1.5 to 6 meters).

-
Install the bracket:
Screw fixing: Use a drilling tool to punch holes on the wall based on the bracket's hole distance. Mark holes before drilling. Screw expansion nuts into the holes, then attach the bracket using screws.
[Diagram showing screw fixing process]
Fixing the camera: Align the bracket screw with the camera's screw hole and rotate to tighten.
