How to install Vivotek CaMate CM48I8-4080 Infrared Illuminator
- Plan your installation by selecting a mounting location that provides a clear line-of-sight for the IR beam while avoiding reflective surfaces that could cause glare or hotspot issues. Consider camera position, focal length, and perimeter coverage requirements to optimize beam distribution.
- Mount the CM48I8-4080 to a stable surface using the compatible CaMate mounting hardware. Ensure the bracket is secure and rated for outdoor use if installed outside, with appropriate fasteners for the mounting surface.
- Connect power and any necessary control wiring according to the model’s specifications. Use a suitable power supply that matches the device’s electrical requirements and maintain proper cable routing to protect against environmental exposure and physical interference.
- Use the adjustable beam-angle controls to tune the IR output. Start with a mid-range setting (approximately 55°–90°), then gradually narrow or widen the beam to achieve uniform illumination across the camera’s field of view. Verify image clarity from the camera’s feed and adjust as needed.
- Test operation under actual night conditions. Confirm that the illuminated area is evenly lit, with minimal hotspots, and confirm compatibility with the connected camera system. Perform routine checks to ensure continued alignment and performance over time.
