    3. Outdoor sunlight shining on the over channel will not have any effect, but the mirrored reflections that allow sunlight on the ToF Sensor should be avoided.

    4. When the carpet/floor is black, make sure there are no obstacles within a 60 cm hemisphere range in the direction of the device. Otherwise, the device imaging may appear abnormally red.

  2. FACTORS AFFECTING ACCURACY

    1. Wearing a fisherman’s hat or carrying a cardboard box on the shoulder. The target will not be recognized because it will become unlike a human depth map.

    2. Handheld or cart carrying a humanoid doll with sufficient height to pass by: The doll will be mistakenly detected as people because it is human-like in depth map.

  3. INSTALLATION

    1. Ensure that thickness of the ceiling is more than 30mm, then attach the mounting sticker to the ceiling and drill 4 holes with a diameter of 6mm. If the wire needs to be extended to the interior of the ceiling, a wire hole with a suitable size is also required to be drilled.

    2. Fix the wall plugs into the ceiling holes.

    3. Remove the cover on the device, and then connect all required wires and pass them through the wire hole behind the device or block on the side of the device if the wires need to be protruded from the side to the device.

    4. Fix the device to the to the wall plugs via mounting screws: remember to adjust the mounting direction according to the detection area requirement.

    5. Fix the cover back to the device.
