– Make sure the location has a good, reliable Wi-Fi reception
* The closer your camera is to the base station, the better the wireless connection quality
– Make sure the wall or the surface is strong enough to withstand three times the weight of the camera (>1,155g).
– It’s recommended to install the camera 2-3m (7-10ft) above the ground and tilt the lens 20° downward.
– It’s recommended to use the camera to capture side-to-side motions rather than the movements directly coming towards or leaving away the camera.
– It’s recommended to test and adjust detection sensitivity on EZVIZ app for optimal performance based on the location you choose.
