Mounting Suggestion  
To get the best video quality for targets at night, make sure that the camera’s 
field of view does not include a large foreground object, such as tabletop or 
side wall. If installing on a tabletop, place the camera as close to the edge as 
possible, as  demonstrated  in the photos in row 1 below. If installing on a wall, 
angle the camera so that a minimal portion of the wall is visible, as 
demonstrated in  the photos in row 2 below.
