PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not install the camera near electric or magnetic fi elds.
Install the camera away from TV/radio transmitters, magnets, electric motors, transformers and audio speakers
since the electromagnetic fi elds generated from these devices may distort the video image or otherwise
interfere with camera operation.
2. Never disassemble the camera beyond the recommendations in this manual nor
introduce materials other than those recommended herein.
Improper disassembly or
introduction of corrosive materials may result in equipment failure or other damage.
3. Try to avoid facing the camera toward the sun.
In some circumstances, direct sunlight may
cause permanent damage to the sensor and/or internal circuits, as well as creating unbalanced illumination
beyond the capability of the camera to compensate.
4. Keep the power cord away from water and other liquids and never touch the power
cord with wet hands.
Touching a wet power cord with your hands or touching the power cord with wet
hands may result in electric shock.
5. Never install the camera in areas exposed to oil, gas or solvents.
Oil, gas or solvents may result in equipment failure, electric shock or, in extreme cases, fi re.
6. Cleaning
For cameras with interchangeable lenses, do not touch the surface of the sensor directly with the hands. Use
lens tissue or a cotton tipped applicator and ethanol to clean the sensor and the camera lens. Use a damp
soft cloth to remove any dirt from the camera body. Please do not use complex solvents, corrosive or abrasive
agents for cleaning of any part of the camera.
7. Do not operate the camera beyond the specifi ed temperature, humidity or power source ratings.
This camera is suitable for indoor operation. Use the camera at temperatures within -10°C~50°C (14°F~122°F) and
in an indoor environment; this device is not rated as weather proof. The input power source is 12VDC.
The use of
properly fused or Class 2 power limited type supplies are highly recommended.
8. Mounting
Use care in selecting a solid mounting surface which will support the weight of the camera plus any wind,
snow, ice or other loading, and securely attach the camera to the mounting surface using screws and anchors
which will properly support the camera. If necessary (e.g. when mounting to drop ceilings) use a safety wire to
provide additional support for the camera.
