2. PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not install the camera near electric or magnetic fields.
Install the camera away from TV/radio transmitters, magnets, electric motors,
transformers and audio speakers since the electromagnetic fields generated from these
devices may distort the video image or otherwise interfere with camera operation.
2. Never disassemble the camera beyond the recommendations in this manual nor
introduce materials other than those recommended herein. Improper disassembly or
introduction of corrosive materials may result in equipment failure or other damage.
3. Try to avoid facing the camera toward the sun.
In some circumstances, direct sunlight may cause permanent damage to the sensor and/
or internal circuits, as well as creating unbalanced illumination beyond the capability of
the camera to compensate.
4. Keep the power cord away from water and other liquids and never touch the
power cord with wet hands. Touching a wet power cord with your hands or touching
the power cord with wet hands may result in electric shock.
5. Never install the camera in areas exposed to oil, gas or solvents.
Oil, gas or solvents may result in equipment failure, electric shock or, in extreme cases,
fire.
6. Cleaning
For cameras with interchangeable lenses, do not touch the surface of the sensor directly
with the hands. Use lens tissue or a cotton tipped applicator and ethanol to clean the
sensor and the camera lens. Use a damp soft cloth to remove any dirt from the camera
body. Please do not use complex solvents, corrosive or abrasive agents for cleaning of
any part of the camera.
7. Do not operate the camera beyond the specified temperature, humidity or power
source ratings. This camera is suitable for indoor operation only. Use the camera at
temperatures within -40°C~60°C (-40°F~140°F) and humidity between 20% and 80%.
This device is not rated as submersible. The input power source is 12VDC / 24VAC
regulated.
8. Mounting
Use care in selecting a solid mounting surface which will support the weight of the camera
plus any wind, snow, ice or other loading, and securely attach the camera to the mounting
surface using screws and anchors which will properly support the camera. If necessary
(e.g. when mounting to drop ceilings) use a safety wire to provide additional support for
the camera.
