Important Safeguards and Warnings
Electrical safety
All installation and operation should conform to your local electrical safety codes.
The power supply must conform to the requirements of ES1 in IEC 62368-1 standard and be no
higher than PS2. Note that the power supply requirements are subject to the device label.
Make sure the power supply is correct before operating the device.
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 device.
Environment
Do not aim the device 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 device in a damp or dusty environment, extremely hot or cold temperatures, or
the locations with strong electromagnetic radiation or unstable lighting.
Keep the device 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 device within the range of allowed humidity and temperature.
Heavy stress, violent vibration or water splash are not allowed during transportation, storage
and installation.
Pack the device with standard factory packaging or the equivalent material when transporting
the device.
Install the device 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 device is operating normally.
Operation and Daily Maintenance
Do not touch the heat dissipation component of the device to avoid scald.
Carefully follow the instructions in the manual when disassembling operation about the device;
otherwise, it might cause water leakage or poor image quality due to unprofessional operations.
Make sure that the gasket ring is flat and properly installed in the groove before installing the
cover. Contact after-sales service for desiccant replacement if there is condensed fog on the lens
after unpacking or when the desiccant turns green (Not all models are included with the
desiccant).
We recommend using the device together with lightning arrester to improve lightning
protection effect.
We recommend grounding the device to enhance reliability.

Quick Start Guide
IV
Do not touch the image sensor (CMOS) directly. Dust and dirt could be removed with air blower,
or you can wipe the lens gently with soft cloth that is moistened with alcohol.
You can clean the device body with soft dry cloth, and for stubborn stains, use the cloth 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 to clean the
device body, nor can strong, abrasive detergent be used.
Dome cover is an optical component. Do not touch or wipe the cover with your hands directly
during installation or operation. For removing dust, grease or fingerprints, wipe gently with
moistened oil-free cotton with diethyl or moistened soft cloth. You can also remove dust with an
air blower.
WARNING
Please strengthen the protection of network, device data and personal information by adopting
measures which include but not limited to using strong password, changing password regularly,
upgrading firmware to the latest version, and isolating computer network. For some device with
old firmware versions, the ONVIF password will not be modified 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 the device is
installed and maintained by professional engineers.
The surface of the image sensor should not be exposed 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 device unless otherwise specified. A
failure to follow this instruction might cause damage to the device.
