3. Precautions
• Do not install the camera in extreme temperature conditions.
Only use the camera under conditions where temperatures are
between -10˚C and +50˚C.
• Be especially careful to provide ventilation when operating
under high temperatures.
• Do not install or use the camera in an environment where the
humidity is high.
It can cause the image quality to be poor.
• Do not install the camera under unstable lighting conditions.
Severe lighting change or fl icker can cause the camera to work
improperly.
• Do not touch the front lens of the camera.
This is one of the most important parts of the camera. Be
careful not to leave fi ngerprints on the lens cover.
• Do not drop the camera, protect it from physical shock.
These malfunctions will occur.
• Do not expose the camera to rain or spills.
If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids can contain
minerals that corrode the electronic components.
Never keep the camera pointed directly at strong light.
It can damage the sensor.
• Do not expose the camera to radioactivity.
If exposed to radioactivity the sensor will fail.
Note:
• If the camera is exposed to a spotlight or an object refl ecting
strong light, smear or blooming may occur. HLC will mitigate
this effect.
• Please check that the power supply satisfi es the normal speci-
fi cation before connecting the camera.
