Installation Manual
8
Follow these installation guidelines:
•
Install the camera indoors. The camera is not meant for outdoor use.
•
Do not install the camera in direct heat or in areas of high humidity. Install the camera in an
environment where the temperature stays between 41 and 95°F (5 and 35°C) and the humidity stays
below 90% (when the power is on).
•
Do not block any ventilation openings.
•
Keep the power cords away from obstacles. Do not walk on or pinch the power cords, especially at the
plugs, convenience receptacles, or near the exit point.
•
Only use accessories specified by the manufacturer.
•
Do not use near strong electric (TV/radio antenna) or magnetic fields (motor or transformer), since
audio and video distortion can occur.
•
When you install the camera just above the photogenic subject (
Figure 5
), it may be difficult to adjust
angular field-of-view focusing around the subject. To easily adjust focusing, increase the angle from
the camera to the subject.

Locations with a lot of dust, you may shorten
the life of sensitive internal parts.
Before you start the installation, prepare the required devices and cables and turn all devices off to ensure there
