Equipping cameras in the entrance or garden area is currently an essential need in every family to protect security. However, with outdoor equipment, it is necessary to pay attention to sun, rain and dust, otherwise it is very easy to damage.
Accordingly, the installation of standard cameras helps record clear images and optimize the ability to prevent theft, protecting the safety of the family.
Camera protection index
The first factor when installing anti-theft cameras is to choose the device's protection index. Outdoor cameras must meet IP66 or IP67 standards or higher. This index ensures water and fine dust resistance and strong water jets.
Using the wrong camera line will cause water vapor to condense inside the lens, causing blurred images or short circuits. This is a condition to pay attention to first when choosing to buy a stolen camera to help the family monitor effectively.
Additional waterproof roof design
Although they are specialized cameras that already have self-protection capabilities, the installation of outdoor cameras requires additional waterproof roofs. The roof helps reduce the direct impact of heavy rains and limits harsh sunlight shining on the camera.
When there is a roof, less rainwater sticking to the lens surface will help the image be recorded more clearly. In addition, reducing the temperature from sunlight will help ensure that the internal components are more durable as well as maintain stable signals.
Suitable installation location
The location of the camera will determine the viewing angle and better person recognition. Therefore, cameras should be installed at a height of 3 to 4 meters to ensure more effective monitoring or recording.
However, you should pay attention to directing the camera towards strong light to avoid blurred images. At the same time, you need to choose a solid position to avoid shaking when there is strong wind. Careful surveying helps to maximize blind spots and increase security for the house.
Technical line protection
A common mistake that many families make is to only care about the machine and forget to pay attention to the transmission lines. Signal connectors and power lines need to be hidden inside specialized waterproof technical boxes. If left outside, the connection points are easily oxidized, leading to rapid signal loss.
Wearing wires in the protective tube also helps prevent rats from biting or damaging due to physical impact.
