When choosing a mounting location, please be advised: • Do not use in wet locations. If using outdoors, position in sheltered location. • DO NOT position the camera so that it points directly into the sun or any bright light, as this may cause damage to the camera. • Avoid viewing areas where half the area is in bright sunlight and the other half is dark, such as in the shadow of a building. All types of cameras have difficulty "seeing" into areas of such divergent light levels. • In low light conditions, the camera will automatically activate the Infrared (IR) LED's and switch the camera to Night Vision mode. Night Vision viewing distance is up to 10 feet. TESTING THE SYSTEM Before beginning installation, we recommend that you connect the 45231 Color Camera to your TV, VCR or DVR to help you familiarize yourself with the camera system and choose the best location for installing the camera.
