INSTALL SHEET
OMV OUTDOOR MOTION VIEWER
Mounting Recommendations
The OMV611 product shall be installed in accordance with National Electrical Code, NFPA 70 and CSA C22.1, Canadian
Electrical Code, Part I, Safety Standard for Electrical Installations
Please direct the OMV towards the access point or the asset you need to protect. The detector should not be mounted
close or above an access point. Such installation increase the probability of a missed intrusion.
For optimal use, OMV MotionViewer mounting shall respect the following recommendations:
Mounting height :
RSI Video Technologies recommends a 2,5 m to 3,5 m mounting height.
When you install the MotionViewer higher, the detection distance is raised. However the sensitivity is reduced and the
blind area under the MotionViewer is larger.
When you install the MotionViewer lower, the sensitivity is raised and the blind area under the detector is reduced.
However the detection distance will be reduced.
Tilt :
Raising or reducing the tilt, even slightly, has a big impact on the detection distance and on the blind area under the
MotionViewer. We recommend to slightly tilt the OMV to reduce its detection range and avoid false alarms.
To precisely determine the tilt angle use a smartphone app like Smart Protactor (Android) or Pitch Gauge (iOs).
Not recommended mounting locations :
To prevent false detection, false trouble events and tampering, we recommend to do not install the product in the
following locations:
• Higher than 3.5m or lower than 2.5m
• On a mast, pole or any unstable support in windy situation
• In front of the sun, high vegetation, a street or a road and an animal passageway
• Above or too close the protected access point

Theoretical values estimated for default
sensitivity.
These values only represent the physical limits of
the OMV detection and not its maximum detection
range. Long range sensitivity is reduced and
depends on infrared detection properties (see
page 5).
* In some cases, false alarms can be triggered
from outside the 12m detection limit (street,
bushes, trees, etc). If that happens, please slightly
tilt the OMV downward to prevent false alarms.
