How to Install Your Camera for Better Anti-Theft Protection

How to Maximize Anti-Theft Protection When Installing Your Camera

A secure installation is the first step to preventing theft or tampering. Here are key tips to improve protection from day one.

Choose a Discreet but Effective Location

Mount the camera high enough to avoid easy reach, but with a clear view of the target area. Avoid obvious, easily accessible spots.

Use Strong Mounting Hardware

Use steel straps, locking brackets, or anti-theft mounts. Avoid plastic ties or weak adhesive that can be easily removed.

Activate the Anti-Theft Feature

After installation, don’t forget to enable the Anti-Theft function in the app. This allows alerts, alarms, and tracking if the camera is moved.

Test the Detection Function

Gently move the camera to check if the system triggers alerts and sounds the alarm. Make sure your phone receives notifications.

Check Mobile Signal and Power

Install in areas with stable network signal and sufficient sunlight if using a solar panel. A reliable power source ensures continuous protection.

Final Tip

Consider placing a warning sign nearby. Even a small notice that the area is monitored can discourage theft attempts.
