Precautions
Do not install the camera in extreme temperature conditions. Use the camera in environments where temperature is
between 14 °F and 122 °F. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Do not install or use the camera in an environment where the humidity is high. It can degrade the image quality.
Do not install the camera under unstable lighting conditions. Severe lighting changes or icker can cause the camera to
work improperly.
Never use the camera close to a gas or oil leak. These chemicals can damage the camera.
Do not drop the camera or subject it to physical shocks. These can cause malfunctions to occur.
Never point the camera at intense light. Smear or blooming may occur, and it can damage the CCD.
Do not expose an indoor camera to rain or spill liquids on it. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids can contain
minerals that corrode electronic components.
Check the power source to ensure that it is within specications before connecting it to the camera.
