Caution
This product is for indoor use. Do not install it outdoors or in a humid environment without the appropriate
protective enclosure. Do not allow it to come into contact with any liquid.
Do not install or operate this product if it has been dropped, damaged, or exposed to liquids. If any of
these things happen, return it to Vaddio for safety and functional testing.
Before You Install the Camera
Prepare for a successful installation:
n
Consider camera viewing angles, lighting conditions, line-of-sight obstructions, and in-wall
obstructions where the camera is to be mounted.
n
Ensure that the camera points away from the ceiling and lights. The camera will not perform well if it is
pointed toward a light source such as a light fixture or window.
n
Mounting the camera at eye level is best. If this is not feasible, mounting the camera above eye level
typically produces a better experience than mounting it below eye level.
n
If you make cables for this installation, check them for continuity.
n
Be sure you can identify all cables correctly.
Cabling Notes
Use Cat-5e or better cable. Use shielded cabling if the cables will be coiled, run tightly with other cables,
or routed near sources of electromagnetic interference such as power lines or fluorescent light fixtures.
We recommend using high-quality connectors and a high-quality crimping tool.
Caution
Do not use pass-through RJ-45 connectors when making cables for this product. Poorly
crimped connectors of this type can cause intermittent connections and degraded signal
quality. They can also damage the connectors on the product, which will void your warranty.
