6 Camera Placement

- Place the camera close to your Wi-Fi router as possible.

- Reduce the number of obstructive materials between the camera and the router or access point. Concrete, brick, metal and wood are the most common materials in your house that can cause poor signal strength.

- Other electronic devices such as microwaves, TVs, cordless phones, and baby monitors can cause signal interference. It is recommended to install the camera as far away from these devices as possible.

7 Optimize Motion Detection

Distance Optimal accuracy for objects within 5ft to 50ft (1.5\~15m).
Angle Angle the camera around 30^-60^ down from the level position.
Height Install the camera between 8-16ft (2.5\~5m) off of the ground.

Levelled to the ground 9~15 ft 5~50 ft

Note: Accuracy of person detection will be influenced by multiple factors, such as the person's distance from the camera, the height of the person, and the height and angle of the camera. Night vision will also impact the accuracy and distance of detection.
