Installation Tips
Where to Install
Install the camera 2-3 meters (7-10 feet) above the ground to maximize PIR sensor detection range.
Since PIR sensors are more sensitive to lateral movement, avoid placing the camera where motion moves directly toward or away from it. Instead, position it at an angle beside the doorway for optimal detection.
