the installation is finished. If there is dust or grease on the dome cover, clean the dome cover with clean soft
cloth and isopropyl alcohol.
Do not touch lens with fingers. If cleaning is necessary, use clean cloth with ethanol and wipe it gently. If
the camera will not be used for an extended period, please replace the lens cap to protect the sensor from
dirt.
