To produce brighter photos at night, there should be items reflecting the camera's flash in the background.

Please note that the camera should never be directly pointed at the sun to avoid back lighting and faulty detections.

DISPOSAL

ONLY USE ORIGINAL SPARE PARTS AND ACCESSORIES.

If, one day, your camera has been used so intensively that it has to be replaced, or if you no longer have any use for it, you are obliged to dispose of it at a recycling center.

Information on return points for your electrical appliance can be obtained from your local waste disposal company or from your local administrative offices.

Electrical appliances not only contain valuable recyclable raw materials, but also substances which, if disposed of improperly, can affect public health and the environment. Help ensure that valuable raw materials are recycled by returning your old appliance to a central collection point.

The WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive) symbol represents the obligation of the labeled camera to be sent to a separate center for the proper recycling of electrical and electronic equipment.
