Internet Time 4
The NTP (Network

its clock with an In-
ternet Time Service.
This gives it the ability
to constantly have an
accurate time setting
and is the best method
to maintain accuracy.

General Configuration
Confused on which location to install your cameras? The cameras included with your security system can be
installed in a number of different locations. Camera location can depend on the following -
1. Distance from the camera to the DVR.
2. Environmental conditions.
3. Lighting conditions.
4. The area that you would like to monitor.
When you position cameras correctly, you can eliminate the need for additional cameras to cover your target
area and maximise the efficiency of your security system. On the flip side, if you position cameras incorrectly,
it can lead to blind spots or to have objects that are not visible or too far for the cameras to view in detail. Keep
these points in mind to get the most out of your security system.
Mount cameras at an elevated position - Mounting your cameras at an elevated position, can keep your cam-
eras out of range of vandals or would be burglars. It also allows your camera to have a high vantage point in-
creasing its viewing area.
Cover your target area - When placing cameras, make sure you provide ample coverage, but not in excess.
For example, if you are trying to cover a backyard gate, don’t zoom in to only have the gate in frame. Position
the camera to cover part of your backyard so you capture as much area as possible without sacrificing video
quality.
