Installing the door camera
Position the door camera
Find a position for the door cam-
era where the call button is easy
to press and the camera can ‘see’
visitors clearly.
The following points are important:
• The height needs to be
between 4.5 and 5 ft. (1.3 and
1.5 m) above the ground or
step where visitors normally
stand.
• The camera is adjustable through a 30° total angle left to right, and 60° top to
bottom. Position the unit to ensure the camera has sight of your visitor.
• Avoid a position where the camera faces into the sun, as this may overload the
camera and visitors will appear very dark. Facing large areas of bright sky should
also be avoided when possible by pointing the camera down, rather than up.
• Position the camera where the motion sensor is not blocked from approaching
visitors. Avoid locating the camera where passing people or traffic will cause
false triggering. Note that the motion sensor range is approximately 12 ft (4 m)
and that it can be switched off if necessary (see ‘Door camera’, page 10).
• The mounting surface should be of brick or wood construction, and not of
metal, reinforced concrete, or heavy stone (i.e. more than 16 in. [40 cm] thick)
construction – as this may block the transmitted signal.
• The mounting surface should be even and flat, to avoid distorting the door
camera case, level any uneven surface before mounting, as a distorted base can
let rainwater into the unit.
• Do not mount within 12 in. (30 cm) of large metal objects, or steel reinforced PVC
frames, as this reduces or blocks signals to the receiver.
• Keep the base of the door camera clear of shelves or other projections that
might block the light sensor under the unit. An obscured sensor causes the
camera to switch into black and white mode.
• If the door camera is to be powered separately, power cable must also be
considered.
