4.1 Network Camera Installation
Outdoor Installation
Network Camera has a splash resistant body. The splash resistant body allows
Network Camera to be used indoors and outdoors. Waterproof cabling is
necessary for outdoor mounting. Check Network Camera operation before
installing (cabling and mounting) Network Camera.
Notes
• Install Network Camera under eaves to protect it from direct sunlight.
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or halogen light may damage the CMOS
sensor.
• Use the Sunshade in any conditions.
• Do not install Network Camera in the location where sea breezes may hit the
unit directly.
• Avoid laying Ethernet cable underground or stringing it in the air. Lightning may
cause serious damage to Network Camera or the connected devices.
• AC adaptor is not waterproofed. Put the AC adaptor inside the outdoor power
equipment near Network Camera and protect the AC adaptor from the rain.
Ask the authorized electric wiring dealer.
• AC adaptor cord and Ethernet cable should be waterproofed. Do the
waterproof electric wiring work.
• Do not expose the AC adaptor to the temperatures below -20 °C (-4 °F) or
above +50 °C (122 °F). AC adaptor cannot be operated under these
circumstances.
• Lightning can cause serious permanent damage to Network Camera. Be sure
that Network Camera is grounded in accordance with local electrical codes for
your specific application.
• If Network Camera is used outdoors, the Rubber Cap must be installed in the
CLEAR SETTING button hole. It protects Network Camera's internal
components from moisture damage. Carefully insert the Rubber Cap into the
hole, gently pressing it into place using the end of the long tool. In order for it
to work properly the cap must be seated correctly and fit snug.
• If Network Camera is positioned facing direct sunlight it is possible that a faint
"rainbow" lens flare may be visible on the image. Sunshade acts similar to a
lens shade on a 35-mm camera. In most cases the Sunshade will minimize the
rainbow lens flare. Repositioning Network Camera so it does not face directly
in the direction of the sun can further improve the image quality.
