Installation & commissioning notes
- Select mounting height so the optical zoom can resolve key details (faces, plates) — typically 3–10 m depending on site.
- Prefer PoE+ where available for easier cabling and central power management; confirm PoE budget on your switch.
- If using 24V AC, ensure correct transformer and cable sizing for reliable operation.
- Program PTZ presets, tours and patrols during commissioning to ensure automated, repeatable coverage.
- Use VLANs and secure management practices (HTTPS, changed default passwords) to protect network access.
- Keep the camera housing clean and clear of obstructions to maintain optical performance.
