Install the IR illuminator on the same mounting frame as the Mobotix fixed camera or directly on the support arm. If you have two IR illuminators, you can install them at both ends of a support arm and aim the beams to cross the camera path.

For the best results, install the IR illuminator close to the camera and aim it on the same vertical line as the lens of the fixed camera.

CAUTION Do not aim the IR illuminator at the PWD receiver.
