Take notice of humidity.
Install this product when the humidity is low. If this product
is installed during rainfall or when there is high humidity,
the inside may be exposed to moisture and the dome
cover may become foggy.
Heater unit
This product is equipped with an internal heater unit for
use in cold climates. The product can be used in temper-
atures as low as –30 °C {–22 °F} when connected to a
PoE+ hub and –50 °C {–58 °F} when connected to a 24 V
AC power supply or a tested PoE injector. The heater unit
turns on automatically when the temperature inside the
product drops below +10 °C {50 °F}. However, in an
extremely low-temperature environment below –30 °C
{–22 °F}, snow and frost may not be defrosted from the
dome cover. When using the product in cold climates,
take notice of the ambient and internal temperatures of
the product.
When this product is installed and operated in low tem-
peratures below –10 °C {14 °F}, normal images may not
be obtained immediately after startup. In such a case, wait
around 2 hours or more, and turn on the power again.
Influence on images and their quality
This product has no wiper unit. Under the following condi-
tions, image quality may deteriorate or images may not be
viewed properly.
(1) Influence by rainfall
Due to the wind that accompanies rainfall, images
may be less viewable.
(2) Influence by snowfall
Due to the wind that accompanies snowfall, snow
may fall on the dome cover. Images may not be able
to be viewed through the areas of the dome that have
snow on it. (The visibility may vary depending on the
amount and type of snow.)
(3) Influence by dust in the air or gas emission from vehi-
cles
Depending on the installation environment, dome
cover may become dirty due to dust in the air or gas
emission from vehicles. This may degrade the quality
of images.
