Important Safeguards and Warnings
This section describes the contents covering proper handling of the Camera, hazard prevention,
and prevention of property damage. Read these contents carefully before using the Camera,
comply with them when using, and keep the manual well for future reference.
Power Requirements
All installation and operation should conform to your local electrical safety codes.
The power source shall conform to the Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) standard. Please
note that the power supply requirement is subject to the device label.
Make sure that the power supply is correct before operating the Camera.
A readily accessible disconnect device shall be incorporated in the building installation
wiring.
Prevent the power cable from being trampled or pressed, especially the plug, power socket,
and the junction extruded from the Camera.
Environment
Do not aim the Camera at strong light to focus, such as lamp light, and sun light. Otherwise,
it might cause over brightness or light marks, which are not the device malfunction, and
affect the longevity of Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS).
Do not place the Camera in a damp or dusty environment, extremely hot or cold
temperatures, or the locations with strong electromagnetic radiation or unstable lighting.
Keep the Camera away from any liquid to avoid damage to the internal components.
Keep the indoor device away from rain or damp to avoid fire or lightning.
Keep sound ventilation to avoid heat accumulation.
Transport, use, and store the Camera within the range of allowed humidity, and
temperature.
Heavy stress, violent vibration, and water splash are not allowed during transportation,
storage, and installation.
Pack the Camera with standard factory packaging or the equivalent material when
transporting the Camera.
Install the Camera in the location where only the professional staff with relevant knowledge
of safety guards, and warnings can access. The accidental injury might happen to the
non-professionals who enter the installation area when the Camera is operating normally.
Operation and Daily Maintenance
Do not touch the heat dissipation component of the Camera to avoid scald.
Carefully follow the instructions in the Guide when performing any disassembly operation
about the Camera; otherwise, it might cause water leakage or poor image quality due to
unprofessional disassemble. Please contact after-sale service for desiccant replacement if

User’s Manual
IV
there is condensed fog found on the lens after unpacking or when the desiccant turns
green. (Not all models are included with the desiccant).
It is recommended to use the Camera together with lightning arrester to improve lightning
protection effect.
It is recommended to ground the Camera to enhance reliability.
Do not touch the image sensor directly (CMOS). Dust, and dirt can be removed with air
blower, or you can wipe the lens gently with soft cloth that moistened with alcohol.
Device body can be cleaned with soft dry cloth, which can also be used to remove
stubborn stains when moistened with mild detergent. To avoid possible damage on device
body coating which could cause performance decrease, do not use volatile solvent such as
alcohol, benzene, diluent, and so on to clean the Camera body, nor can strong, abrasive
detergent be used.
Dome cover is an optical component, do not touch or wipe the cover with your h, ands
directly during installation or operation. For removing dust, grease or fingerprints, wipe
gently with moisten oil-free cotton with diethyl or moisten soft cloth. You can also air blower
to remove dust.
Please strengthen the protection of network, device data, and personal information by
adopting measures including but not limited to using strong password, changing password
regularly, upgrading firmware to the latest version, and isolating computer network. For
some devices with old firmware versions, the ONVIF password will not be changed
automatically along with the modification of the system password, and you need to
upgrade the firmware or manually update the ONVIF password.
Use standard components or accessories provided by manufacturer, and make sure that
the Camera is installed, and maintained by professional engineers.
Do not expose the surface of the image sensor to laser beam radiation in an environment
where a laser beam device is used.
Do not provide two or more power supply sources for the Camera unless otherwise
specified. Fail to follow this instruction might cause damage to the Camera.

interfaces.
Connects to external devices such as vehicle detector, signal detector, and more.
Auto Adjustment
Auto iris:Automatically adjusts the iris opening to the changing light throughout the day.
Auto white balance: Accurately displays the object color when light condition changes.
Auto exposure: Automatically adjusts shutter speed according to the exposure value of the
image measured by the metering system, and according to shutter, and iris exposure set
by factory defaults.
Auto gain: Automatically increases camera sensitivity when illuminance is very low,
enhancing image signal output so that the Camera can acquire clear, and bright image.
