Place the camera 5 to 6.5 feet (1.5 – 2 meters) from the ground. Person Detection works best when the subject is between 6.5 to 16 feet (2 – 5 meters) away from the camera.
Place the mount at the desired location, ensuring that the location of the power cord thread is also at the desired location. Use a pencil to mark the holes.
Use a 6 mm drill bit to drill two 26 mm deep holes over the pencil marks. Hammer in the plastic wall anchors to support the screws.
Align the mount over the holes that are in the wall. Use the supplied screwsto attach the mount to the surface of the wall.
Align the bottom of the camera to the threads on the mount. Ensure that the camera is securely snapped in place. If the camera is mounted upside down, go to your camera’s settings in the app and enable Invert Image.
Note: For Person Detection optimization, it is recommended to place the camera on a table.
