5. Installation instructions
This camera is designed for indoor use only. If the camera is used outdoors, damage
may occur as a result of dampness and temperatures outside the prescribed range.
Outdoors the camera should be installed in appropriate protective housing so that it
is suitably protected against outside weather influences and remains in compliance
with the ambient operating conditions. This camera is equipped with an IR-cut and
cannot be used in combination with IR illumination.
First-class video pictures are largely dependent on the illumination used. When
using artificial light, make sure you use lights with a colour spectrum as near as
possible to daylight, since colour distortion can otherwise occur with colour cameras.
The reason for poor picture quality is often bad-quality cabling. Make sure the
connections are properly crimped, avoid passive video signal distributors, and
always choose the shortest possible cable route between the camera and video
processing devices.
