Incorporate a readily accessible disconnect device in the building installation wiring for quick 
power disconnect to the unit. 

 

Dahua assumes no liability or responsibility for any fire or electrical shock caused by improper 
handling or installation.  

Environmental Precautions 

 

Transport, use, and store the unit within the specified temperature and humidity range.  

 

Do not place the unit in a wet, dusty, extremely hot or an extremely cold environment; and avoid 
environments with strong electromagnetic radiation or unstable lighting.  

 

Never push objects of any kind into this unit through openings as they may touch dangerous 
voltage points or cause a short circuit that may result in fire or electrical shock. Take care to not 
spill any liquid on the unit.  

 

Do not use units intended for indoor applications near water, in damp or wet environments, or in 
any area classified as a wet location. Do not expose an indoor unit to rain or moisture to reduce 
the risk of fire or electric shock. 

 

Do not block or cover any openings in the unit enclosure. These openings are provided for 
ventilation to prevent overheating and to ensure reliable operation. Ensure the unit is placed in 
an area with adequate ventilation.  

 

Do not place the unit near a heat source such as heaters, stoves, radiators or other equipment 
that produces heat. 

 

Use the following guidelines if placing the unit in a rack-mount: 

  The ambient temperature of a rack-mount environment may exceed the recommended 

operating temperature of the unit. Take care to read the ambient temperature before 
installation. 

  A rack-mount environment may restrict the movement of air. Ensure the unit receives the 

proper amount of air flow required for safe operation or install the unit elsewhere. 

  A rack mount is capable of supporting a maximum weight. Ensure the rack mount can support 

the additional weight of this unit. 

  A rack mount environment requires proper and adequate circuitry. Ensure the circuits to the 

rack are capable of handling the electrical requirements of all units in the rack to protect 
against circuit overloads. 

 

Pack the unit with standard factory packaging or material of the same quality when transporting 
the unit.  

 

Take care to avoid heavy stress, violent vibration, or water spills to the camera unit during 
transportation, storage, and installation. 

Operation and Daily Maintenance  

 

Do not touch the heat dissipation component of the unit. This part of the unit is hot and may 
cause a burn.  

 

Do not open or dismantle the device; there are no components that a user can fix or replace. 
Opening the unit may cause water leakage or expose components to direct light. Contact the 
manufacturer or a qualified service representative to service the camera or to replace a 
component, including the desiccant. 

 

Dahua recommends the use of a thunder-proof device in concert with the unit. 

 

Use a dry soft cloth to clean the unit’s housing. If the unit is particularly dusty, use water to dilute 
a mild detergent, apply the diluted detergent to a soft cloth, then gently clean the device. Finally, 
use a dry cloth to wipe the unit dry. Do not use a volatile solvent like alcohol, benzene, or thinner; 
or use a strong detergent with abrasives, which may damage the surface coating or reduce the 
working performance of the unit. 

Warnings 

 

Change the default password after the initial login to protect the integrity of the network. 

 

Use the standard accessories provided by the manufacturer and ensure the unit is installed and 
commissioned by qualified professionals.
