Usage recommendations
Avoid direct contact with water. For reliable operation place the camera in a dry indoor location, keep firmware updated, and use a stable network connection. For best image quality, mount the camera at a height that maximizes the 111.4° horizontal view and test night vision coverage if low‑light monitoring is required.
