EYE-02 and EyeSee cameras are primarily designed for indoor use. Still, its plastic body provides basic water resistance. In order to use the camera outdoor effectively you will need to adjust its detectors. You will probably also need to use outdoor cover to protect the camera against rough weather. You may also use external infra red lamp for night view or use an external PIR detector.<\/p>\n

Adjusting detectors for outdoor use<\/strong><\/p>\n

First you should adjust some of camera detectors for outdoor use. The motion-in-picture detector (MIP) can make false alarms because it can be activated e.g. by movement of trees, animals- especially insect, or by reflection of sun from water or glass. We recommend you to mask out such areas so that the detector ignores them and makes no false alarms. The passive infra red detector (PIR) registers changes of temperature and it can make false alarms e.g. when sun suddenly appears from behind the clouds. Install your camera so that it does not point directly to the sun. Please note that the NOISE detector, GBS glass break detector and DOOR\u00a0opening detector will not work outdoor because changes of pressure caused by wind or sounds from nature would make false alarms, so switch those OFF. We also recommend decreasing the sensitivity of the TILT and TOUCH detectors, especially when your camera is attached e.g. to a column that can sway in the wind. However, this means less sensitive detection of illegal manipulation. Configure all camera detectors via internet – connect to your camera via JabloTool web portal www.jablotool.com<\/a> and choose Settings<\/strong>, Advanced<\/strong> and then Detectors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Protecting camera against weather conditions<\/strong>
\nIf you use the camera outdoor where it is not permanently exposed to rain, snow or excessive changes of temperature you may use it without outdoor cover (Picture 1). If you use your camera in open space with regular strong wind, heavy rain or hot sunshine we recommend using the EYE-02 with outdoor cover (Picture 2).<\/p>\n

Planning the installation<\/h3>\n

Before the installation you will decide if you want to use also the front glass panel of the outdoor cover (its use is optional). We generally do not recommend using the front glass panel because it will limit some camera functions. Our experience shows that outdoor cover even without front glass panel already provides sufficient protection of the camera. However, the front glass will protect your camera from heavy rain and snow.<\/p>\n

Detectors<\/strong>
\nWhen you place the camera into recommended position the outdoor cover will not limit the function of camera detectors. We recommend using the external IR lamp also when you use outdoor cover without front glass panel. This will provide better quality of snapshots taken at night (see Picture 3).<\/p>\n

Night view<\/strong>
\nYou can also take snapshots at night by using built-in infra red lamp, its reach is 6 meters. When you do not use front glass panel place the camera into recommended position, follow chapter Mounting EYE-02 camera into outdoor cover<\/a>. Camera will be protected against usual climatic conditions and the outdoor cover will not reflect the rays of the internal IR lamp back into the camera. Chapter Mounting EYE-02 camera into outdoor cover<\/a> provides more information about such adjustment.
\nFor more information about taking snapshots at night by EYE-02 camera see application note Infrared Illumination<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Front glass panel will limit the function of PIR detectors and you will not be able to take snapshots at night by using the infrared lamp built in the camera.<\/p>\n

PIR detector<\/strong>
\nPIR cannot register changes of temperature via the glass panel. If you use default settings of camera profiles HOME, GARAGE or CARE then camera will not be able to detect any motion. Why? Camera has two motion detectors – the PIR and MIP. In these profiles the MIP is activated by the PIR detector. Because the PIR does not work via glass it will not activate the MIP detector and camera will not register motion.
\nWhen you need to use the front glass panel and also the PIR detector then we recommend using external PIR detector JA-88P from the OASiS system manufactured by Jablotron<\/a>. This detector is suitable also for outdoor use.
\nYou can use EYE-02 also with a wide range of other wireless peripherals. You will find more information in the support topic Wireless peripherals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Night view<\/strong>
\nWhen you use the front glass panel and you want take snapshots at night you cannot use the internal IR lamp of camera. Glass of the panel would reflect the rays back into the camera (Picture 4). Instead you should use external IR lamp for taking snapshots at night (Picture 5).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
