Screw tightening
• The screws and bolts must be tightened
with an appropriate tightening torque
according to the material and strength of
the installation area.
• Do not use an impact driver. Use of an
impact driver may damage the screws or
cause tightening excessively.
• When a screw is tightened, make the
screw at a right angle to the surface. After
tightening the screws or bolts, perform
checks to ensure that the tightening is
sufficient enough so that there is no
movement or looseness.
Do not remove or loosen the screws on
the bottom of this product.
If the screws (7 pcs.

The camera can be used even outdoors in low-
temperature environments as low as -40 °C
{-40 °F}, but in an extremely low-temperature
environment below -10 °C {14 °F}, snow and
frost may not be defrosted from the dome
cover. When this product is installed and oper-
ated in low temperatures below -20 °C {-4 °F},
normal images may not be obtained immedi-
ately after startup. In such a case, wait for
about 2 hours with the power connected, and
then disconnect and reconnect the power
again.
