Important Mounting Tips:

• Avoid direct sunlight: Do not mount the unit facing the rising or setting sun to prevent glare on the lens.
• Cleanliness: Regularly clean the camera lens cover, flash cover, and PIR sensor cover, especially in dusty environments or when mounted on a feeder.
• Security: Periodically check the mounting to ensure it is secure.
• Moisture Seal: Always ensure the camera door is securely latched to activate the moisture seal.
