noise and cut the transmission, but this is not a malfunction.
• Using a mobile phone or professional-use radio equipment such as walkie-
talkie close to the system may cause a malfunction.
• Warm-color lighting shining on the camera may change the tint of the
image on the screen.
• The outline of video images displayed may differ from that of the actual
person(s) or background, but this is not a malfunction.

white or silhouetted. But this is not a unit trouble.
• When outside temperature lowers sharply after rainfall, etc., the inside of
the camera may fog up slightly, causing a blurry images, but this is not a
malfunction. Normal operation will be restored when moisture evaporates.
• When using a fluorescent light that shines around the camera, the screen
colors may variously change (color rolling), but it is not a malfunction.
