VB-M620VE outdoors, such as underneath eaves.

Be sure to read “Installation Guide” (this document) and “Operation Guide” (included in the Setup 

CD-ROM) before use.

This “Installation Guide” explains the installation method for installing the camera on a ceiling or 

wall and the installation method using the separately sold junction box mounting kit PS600-VB. Be 

sure to read the “Safety Precautions” section for correct use. After reading this Installation Guide, 

keep it in a readily accessible location for future reference. 

For the installation of this camera recessed into a ceiling or wall using the recessed mounting kit 

(sold separately), please read the “Recessed Mounting Kit SR600-VB Installation Guide” included 

with the recessed mounting kit. 

When using the heater unit (sold separately), please read the “Heater Unit HU600-VB User 

Manual” included with the heater unit.

The detailed procedures for using this camera are explained in the “Operation Guide”. Read 

these guides carefully before using the camera to ensure correct use.

Notes on Privacy and Publicity Rights Regarding the Use of Video/Audio

When using the camera (for video or audio recording), it is the full responsibility of the user to 

protect privacy and avoid any violation of publicity rights. For example, obtain consent to install 

the camera in advance if specific buildings or rooms are to be monitored. Canon shall have no 

liability whatsoever in this regard.

Legal Notice

In some cases, camera monitoring may be prohibited by law or regulation, the details of which 

differ by country or region. Before using the camera, check the laws or regulations of the country 

or region where the camera is used. 

Safety Precautions

This section explains precautions that must be observed when using the camera. If they 

are not observed, injury, death and/or property damage may occur. Read the following 

information carefully and be sure to observe the precautions.

Installation Precautions

 

Warning

Do not install in the following places:

 

•  Places in strong direct sunlight, near heat-generating objects, or subject to high 

temperatures 

•  Places near fire sources or flammable solvents (alcohol, thinner, fuel, etc.) 
•  Humid or dusty places 
•  Places subject to oily smoke or steam 
•  Places subject to sea air 
•  Confined or enclosed places

Fire or electric shock may result.

 

Caution

For installation or inspection of this camera, consult the dealer where you purchased 

the product.

 

•  This installation should be made by a qualified service person and should conform to 

all local codes.

•  When installing on a ceiling, make sure the surface is capable of withstanding the total 

weight of the camera and ceiling plates and is sufficiently reinforced if necessary.

•  Periodically check the parts and screws for rust and to see if they have loosened, in 

order to prevent injuries and equipment damage due to falling items.

•  Do not install in unstable places, places subject to significant vibration or impact, or 

places subject to salt damage or corrosive gas.

•  Be sure to attach the safety wire when installing the camera.

Failure to do so may result in the camera falling or other accidents.

•  Do not touch the edge of metal parts with bare hands.
•  Be careful not to trap your fingers during installation of the camera.

Injury may result.

Caution

•  Do not move the lens unit by hand.
•  Do not install the camera on an unstable surface.
•  To maximize shock resistant specifications, do not install on insufficiently strong 

surfaces or surfaces subject to significant vibration (VB-H630VE/VB-M620VE).

•  Take measures to remove static electricity before performing any procedures.
•  If there is condensation, please wait to power on, until the condensation dissipates.

Malfunction may result.

•  Take care not to damage wiring or pipes in the room.

Damage to peripheral items may result.

Precautions for Installing the Camera Outdoors (VB-H630VE/VB-M620VE)

When installing the VB-H630VE/VB-M620VE outdoors, observe the following precautions to retain 

waterproof/dustproof capabilities.

Position the 
wiring hole 
straight down

•  Be sure to install the camera under eaves or other places out of 

direct sunlight.

•  Install the camera in a place unexposed to long periods of direct 

rainfall.

•  When mounting the camera onto a wall or other upright surface,  

position the wiring hole straight down to prevent rain infiltration.

•  If wiring the camera through the wiring hole on the bottom, use 

silicone sealant or a rubber mat to ensure waterproofing. Also 

use an insect repellent sponge if necessary.

•  If wiring with a composite pipe (NPT 3/4 inch threaded hole) 

attached to the wiring hole, wrap teflon tape around the tip of the 

pipe, clear any debris from the wiring hole and firmly tighten the 

pipe. Apply silicone sealant after attaching the pipe.

•  Firmly fix the dome case to the main unit of the camera with the lock screws, taking care not to 

pinch cables between the main unit and dome case.

Precautions for Use

 

Warning

•  If you discover defective conditions such as smoke, strange sounds, heat or strange 

odors, immediately stop using the camera and contact your closest dealer.

Fire or electric shock may result from continued use of the product.

 

•  If thunder starts, stop installation or inspection etc. and do not touch the camera or 

continue connecting the cable.

•  Do not disassemble or modify the camera. 
•  Do not damage the connecting cable.
•  Do not spill water or other liquid inside the camera, spray the camera with water, or 

otherwise make it wet. 

•  Do not insert foreign objects into the camera. 
•  Do not use flammable sprays near the camera. 
•  Do not leave LAN cables, external power supplies or AC adapter (sold separately) power 

connectors connected when the camera is not in use for long periods.

•  Do not use flammable solvents such as alcohol, paint thinner or benzine when cleaning 

the camera.

Fire or electric shock may result.

Notes on Power Supply

 

Warning

•  Only use the dedicated AC Adapter (sold separately) for AC power.
•  Do not set any heavy objects on the power cable (or the LAN cable for a PoE power 

supply).

•  Do not pull, forcibly bend, scratch, or modify the power cable (or the LAN cable for a 

PoE power supply). 

•  Do not cover or wrap the AC adapter (sold separately) with cloth or blankets.

Fire or electric shock may result. 

Caution

•  After turning off the power, wait for at least five seconds before turning the power on 

again. If the power is turned on again too quickly, the camera may operate poorly.
