Usage 

Don’t try to open the camera housing. Each camera has been calibrated at the factory 
to  achieve  precise  measurements.  Touching  internal  components  may  damage  the 

camera and cause calibration data lost. 

 

 
Incorrect  plugging  in  and  unplugging  of  the  camera’s  power  cable  can  damage  the 
camera. To avoid switch-on surges damaging the camera, please plug in the power 
cable into the camera’s power connector firstly before getting power source on. 
Don’t try to change the position of the lens, may cause damage to the camera. 
Do store the camera carefully when not in use, in original package the best. 

2.4 

  Temperature 

To avoid damaging the camera and to achieve best performance, please observe the 

maximum and minimum housing temperatures in Section 3.1
