CAMERA LIGHTING RECOMMENDATIONS
The camera’s ability to detect your child’s body movements depends upon there being a significant difference in lighting between your child and the background .
Follow these helpful hints:
•Make sure your central source of light is coming from the front, pointing towards your child, not towards the camera or TV screen .
•If your child’s on - screen image looks too dark, switch on all available lighting in the room and point it towards your child .
•If your child’s on - screen image looks too bright, close any curtains and use artificial light instead .
•Where artificial light is the primar y source of illumination, concentrate all available light on your child .
•If possible, avoid low - energy bulbs and fluorescent tubes, as these tend to flicker, which the camera could interpret as movement .
•Do not set up the console with built - in camera so that it is pointing directly towards a strong light source (for example, a lamp or direct sunlight) as it could affect the camera’s function .
