Should you decide to install a stand alone Infra Red Led Camera covering your Front Door there are a few things to bear in mind. Firstly make sure you mount the camera in a shaded area so that it is protected from heat and direct sunlight. This will ensure the camera gets a clear view of who is standing at your door. Also make sure that there is adequate lighting at the outside your entrance door. If the natural lighting or existing light fittings are too dim, upgrade the lighting or move the camera so you get excellent pictures. This work should be carried out by a CCTV specialist company as the wiring needs to be undertaken by qualified engineers in order to get the best results. Finally, the camera must be mounted properly so as to ensure that it is supported firmly and doesn’t not fall and cause damage to individuals or break the camera, lens or your property. Any camera mounted outside should be rated at IP65 which is weatherproof and. the weather conditions should always be taken into account. Should your camera be fitted in sub zero temperatures heaters should be fitted in the camera housing should to protect the camera. This is absolutely essential to ensure perfect picture quality.
