Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does MAS-CAM160 support continuous and event-based recording?

It is commonly used for both continuous capture and short, event-driven clips. Choose the mode that fits the scene you want to review.

How do I position the lens for a clear view?

Place the unit on a stable, vibration-free surface and aim toward the area of interest. Avoid direct backlighting to maintain detail.

What storage approach should I plan for?

Plan a routine to offload and archive recordings so important clips aren’t overwritten during ongoing use.

Can I use it at night or in dim rooms?

Low-light performance varies by placement and ambient lighting. Add indirect light where possible for clearer footage.
