Place a Camera for Optimal Motion Detection
When you place a camera, consider the maximum and minimum distances between the camera and the
base station:
•
Maximum distance. Do not place the camera more than 300 feet (90 meters) from the base station.
The maximum line-of-sight range of 300 feet is reduced by each wall, ceiling, or other major obstruction
between the camera and base station. The following materials reduce signal strength the most:
-
Unusually thick walls and ceilings
-
Brick walls
-
Concrete walls
-
Stone walls
-
Ceramic walls or surfaces
-
Glass walls or surfaces, especially mirrors
-
Metal walls or surfaces
-
Large quantities of water, such as the water in a fish tank or water heater
Note
Check the camera signal strength and target three or more bars of signal strength for
best performance and battery life. For more information, see
a Camera
•
Minimum distance. Place the camera at least 10 feet from the base station, and allow at least 6.5 feet
(2 meters) between cameras. Doing so prevents WiFi signals between the devices from interfering with
each other.
When you place a camera, keep the following tips in mind:
•
Keep active locations in the field of view of the camera. The camera provides a 130-degree viewing
angle. Position the camera so that the space that you want to monitor is within the field of view of the
camera.
•
Aim with the snapshot feature. Each time that you move the camera during placement, use the
snapshot feature to refresh the camera snapshot (see
Alternatively, you can use the app or local browser interface offered by your VMS provider to stream
live video while adjusting the camera.
