HOW TO TEST THE COVERAGE AREA
This section covers the steps you need to take to ensure your camera module will capture the desired area. This section
is important to review anytime you are installing the video camera floodlight in a new location.
1. Remove the camera module as shown in "How To Disconnect the Camera Module/Access the Dials" on page 3.
2. The TIME dial is already set to the minimum (-) position and the LUX dial to the "light" () position. This
ensures short test videos and floodlight activation.
3. Reattach the camera module to the motion sensor once you have checked the dials and switch the video
camera floodlight to the AUTO position.
NOTE: WHEN THE VIDEO CAMERA FLOODLIGHT IS FIRST SWITCHED ON, IT WILL PERFORM A TEST ACTIVATION OF
THE CAMERA AND FLOODLIGHT. THIS WILL HAPPEN REGARDLESS OF THE CONFIGURATION OF THE DIALS. THE
CAMERA WILL NOT RECORD A VIDEO DURING THIS TEST.
4. Point the motion sensor in the direction that you want to detect motion.
5. You can test the camera during the day or night. The videos will not have as much detail at night due to the
darkness. Test the coverage of the area by walking slowly around the area of detection. At night, the floodlight
will activate when you are detected. If the floodlight does not come on, you may need to adjust the angle of the
camera and sensor unit.
6. When you are satisfied with the detection area, trigger the camera three times. Trigger the camera video
floodlight in the following ways:
• Once entering from the left,
• Once entering from the right, and
• Once entering straight towards the light.
Be sure to let the camera module turn off between each trigger to ensure you get three separate video files.
When the camera module is recording, you will see a blinking red light in the motion sensor and on the bottom
of the camera module.
NOTE: DO NOT SWITCH THE VIDEO CAMERA FLOODLIGHT TO THE OFF POSITION WHILE RECORDING A VIDEO. THE
CAMERA MODULE WILL NOT SAVE A VIDEO IF TURNED OFF WHILE RECORDING.
NOTE: THE FIELD OF VISION OF THE CAMERA IS 110°. THE FIELD OF VISION OF THE MOTION SENSOR IS 180°. BE
SURE TO WALK ALL THE WAY IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA TO ENSURE YOU ARE CAPTURED IN THE VIDEO.
7. Remove the camera module from the video camera floodlight by following the directions in the "How to
Disconnect the Camera Module" section on page 3. Then continue to the "Setting the Date and Time" section
