NOTE:
•
If the product is to be used outdoors or in dusty, humid, or other hostile environments, it must be suitably
protected.
•
Camera products must be protected, whether in use or not, from exposure to direct sunlight or halogen light as
the light may damage the camera image sensor. This applies to both indoor and outdoor use of the cameras.
•
For camera products supplied without a lens, extreme care should be used when mounting a lens on these
products. Damage to the product due to incorrectly mounted lenses will invalidate this limited hardware
warranty.

Failure to comply with any of the aforementioned requirements will invalidate this Limited Hardware Warranty.
Date of retail purchase is the date original end-user takes possession of the equipment, or, at the sole discretion of the
Company, the date the equipment first becomes operational by the original end-user.
The sole remedy under this Warranty is that defective equipment be repaired or (at the Company’s option) replaced, at
Company repair centers, provided the equipment has been authorized for return by the Company, and the return
shipment is prepaid in accordance with policy. Repaired or replacement hardware will be warranted for the remainder of
the original Warranty Period or ninety (90) days, whichever is longer. When a product or part is exchanged the
replacement hardware becomes the property of the original purchaser and all hardware or part thereof that is replaced
shall become the property of Vicon.
The warranty does not apply (a) to faulty and improper installation, maintenance, service, repair and/or alteration in any
way that is not contemplated in the documentation for the product or carried out with Vicon consent in writing, operation
adjustments covered in the operating manual for the product or normal maintenance, (b) to cosmetic damages, (c) if the
product is modified or tampered with, (d) if the product is damaged by acts of God, misuse, abuse, negligence, accident,
normal wear and tear and deterioration, improper environmental conditions (including, but not limited to, electrical
surges, water damage, chemical exposure, an/or heat/cold exposure) or lack of responsible care, (e) if the product has
had the model or serial number altered, defaced or removed, (f) to consumables (such as storage media or batteries) (g)
to products that have been purchased “as is” and Vicon the seller or the liquidator expressly disclaim their warranty
obligation pertaining to the product, (h) to any non-Vicon hardware product or any software (irrespective of packaged or
sold with Vicon hardware product) and Vicon products purchased from an unauthorized distributor/reseller, (i) to damage
that occurs in shipment or (j) to damages by any other causes not related to defective design, workmanship and/or
materials.
The warranty for the products shall run from Vicon to End User customers only (including product purchased through
authorized partners and resellers). Vicon is not obligated under any circumstances to honor warranties on product(s)
purchases from internet auction sites including eBay, uBid or from any other unauthorized resellers. Except as explicitly
provided herein, Vicon disclaims all other warranties, including the implied warranties of fitness for a particular purpose
and merchantability.
Software supplied either separately or in hardware is furnished on an “As Is” basis. Vicon does not warrant that
such software shall be error (bug) free. Software support via telephone, if provided at no cost, may be
discontinued at any time without notice at Vicon’s sole discretion. Vicon reserves the right to make changes to
its software in any of its products at any time and without notice.
