To prevent unauthorized access, note the following.

•  Leave user authentication turned on.
•  Periodically change passwords that are used 

to access the product. 
Refer to the Operating Instructions for 
information about how to change passwords.

To keep on using with stable performance

Do not use this product in hot and humid conditions 
for a long time. Failure to observe this causes 
component degradation resulting in life shortening 
of this product. Do not expose this product to direct 
heat sources such as a heater.

Make sure that the product does not become 
wet.

Keep this camera away from water and moisture.

Usage such as switching the power ON/OFF 
frequently could lead to failure of the camera.

Handle this product with care.

Do not drop this product, nor apply shock or 
vibration to the product. Failure to observe this 
may cause trouble. 

Do not directly touch the lens.

A dirty lens causes deterioration of picture quality.

When an error is detected, this product will 
restart automatically. 

This product will be inoperable for around 2 
minutes after the restart just as when the power is 
turned on.

About the automatic status detection 
function

When this product malfunctions due to 
exogenous noise, etc. for 30 seconds or more, 
the product will automatically reset and will return 
to normal state. When the product is reset, 
initialization will be carried out as when the power 
of the product is turned on. When the product 
repeatedly resets, exogenous noise level around 
the product may be high and that may cause 
malfunction. Contact your dealer for instructions.

Periodically images on the screen appear to 
be distorted

When the camera is installed in a location where 
it is subject to small vibrations (for example, when 
it is installed near devices that vibrate), images 
may appear distorted and stretched lengthways. 
This phenomenon is a characteristic of image 
pickup devices that use CMOS sensors and is 
caused by the relationship between the periodic 
movements of the camera and the timing that the 
image sensor reads images. This is not a problem 
with the camera. To reduce the possibility of this 
phenomenon occurring, install the camera in a 
secure location.

We shall not be liable for content 
compensation, losses of recorded or 
edited content and any direct or indirect 
consequent damages caused by failure to 
record or edit due to faults with this unit or 
the SD memory card. In addition, the same 
provisions apply after unit is reparied.

About the CMOS image sensor

•  When continuously shooting a bright 

light source such as a spotlight, the color 
filter of the CMOS image sensor may 
become deteriorated and this may cause 
discoloration. Even when changing the 
fixed shooting direction after continuously 
shooting a spotlight for a certain period, the 
discoloration may remain. 

•  When shooting fast-moving subjects or 

objects crossing the shooting area may look 
to be bending askew.

Cleaning this product body

Be sure to turn off the power before cleaning. 
Failure to observe this may cause injury.  
Do not use benzine, thinner, alcohol, or any other 
types of solvents or detergents. Otherwise, it may 
cause discoloration. When using a chemical cloth 
for cleaning, read the caution provided with the 
chemical cloth product.

•   Do not loozen or remove screws unless 

instructed to do so in the product 
documentation.
