Site Preparation

There are several requirements to address prior to installation at the site. The following 
recommendations provide for proper installation and operation of the unit

Adhere to all local and 

industry standards, codes, and best practices.

Ambient Environment Conditions

: Avoid positioning the unit near heaters or heating system 

outputs. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight.

Safety

: Cables and electrical cords should be routed in a manner that prevents safety hazards. 

Ensure that nothing rests on the unit’s cables or power cords.

Ample Air Circulation

: Leave enough space around the unit to allow free air circulation. 

Cabling Considerations

: Using a cable longer than the manufacturer’s specifications for optimal 

video signal may result in degradation of color and video parameters.

Physical Security

: The unit provides threat detection for physical security systems. In order to 

ensure that the unit cannot be disabled or tampered with, the system should be installed with 
security measures regarding physical access by trusted and untrusted parties.

Network Security

: The unit transmits over IP to security personnel for video surveillance. Proper 

network security measures should be in place to assure networks remain operating and free from 
malicious interference. Install the unit on the backbone of a trusted network.

Electrostatic Discharge Safeguards

: The unit and other equipment connected to it (relay 

outputs, alarm inputs, racks, carpeting, etc.) shall be properly grounded to prevent electrostatic 
discharge.
