the device voltage).
Prevent the power cable from being trampled or pressed, especially the plug, power socket
and the junction extruded from the device.
We assume no liability or responsibility for all the fires or electrical shock caused by
improper handling or installation.
Environment
Do not aim the device at strong light to focus, such as lamp light and sun light.
Transport, use and store the device within the range of allowed humidity and temperature.
Keep the camera away from water or other liquid to avoid damages to the internal
components.
Keep sound ventilation to avoid heat accumulation.
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.
It is recommended to use the device together with lightning arrester to improve lightning
protection effect.
It is recommended to get the grounding holes to be grounded to enhance the reliability of
the device.
It is recommended to use qualified video transmission cable to improve video quality. It is
recommended to use RG59 coaxial cable or higher standard.

Important Safeguards and Warnings IV
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; otherwise it might
damage the device.
When the camera is in the condition of PoC power supply, do not connect any other
devices between the camera and PoC XVR or PoC transceiver including UTC, Balun,

time supplies power to the camera.And this function is available only in the
HDCVI video output mode.
When the camera is in the condition of PoC power supply, do not
connect any other device between the camera and PoC XVR or PoC
transceiver including UTC, Balun, optical transceiver, distributor and
convertor and so on; otherwise, the device might get burned.
PoC power supply is with high voltage. Do not dismantle the device

Connects to sound-pick-up devices to receive analog audio signal.
⑤
Power output
Supplies 12V DC power.
Ensure that power consumption of devices connected to this port is
below 2W.
Ensure that supply frequency of devices connected to this port is higher
than 1MHz, such as sound pick-up, temperature/humidity sensor and
other devices without power consumption change. It might cause image
flickering if this port is connected to devices with supply frequency less
than 1MHz, such as fan, Hall sensor, loudspeaker, motor and other
electromechanical devices with power consumption change.

Installation 7
Find the mounting template sticker from the accessory pack and stick it to the mountingStep 1 surface①.
Drill screw holes (and the cable outlet hole if it needs to go through the mountingStep 2 surface) on the mounting surface as indicated on the mounting template, then insert
expansion bolts②from the accessory pack in the screw holes.
The disassembly way of camera is divided into three types:Step 3
For modelA and E, hold the pedestal③tightly and keep the device⑤upward,
rotate the fixing ring⑦counterclockwise until you can detach it from above, and
then take off the pedestal③.
For model B and model C, loosen the locking screw⑨with the supplied wrench⑧
and take off the pedestal③.
For mode D, press the Locking to take off the pedestal③.
Adjust the location of the pedestal③according to cable outlet requirement (top out orStep 4 side out), then pull the cable out through mounting surface or the side cable tray. Align
the screw holes on the pedestal③to those on the mounting surface, then put in and
fasten the supplied self-tapping screws④to attach the device⑤to the mounting
surface.
Connect the camera to power source, and then connect the device to the XVR device.Step 5
For PoC cameras: Connect the XVR device to power source, and then connect video
output port of the camera to the PoC XVR device or PoC transceiver.
The assembly and adjustment way of camera is divided into three types:Step 6
For modelA and E, put the fixing ring⑦back to hold the enclosure⑥, leave some
spaces enough for you to adjust the device⑤.Aim the lens to the ideal angle (see
Figure 3-4) and fasten the fixing ring⑦.
Assembly and adjustment of model A and EFigure 3-4
For model B and model C, put the enclosure⑥back on and adjust the locking
screw⑨to hold it, leave some spaces enough for you to adjust the device⑤.Aim
the lens to the ideal angle and adjust the focus until you get clear image (see
Figure 3-5) and fasten the locking screw⑨.
In Figure 3-5, ①is the locking screw.

Assembly and adjustment of model B and CFigure 3-5
For model D, Put the enclosure⑥(with the device⑤inside) back into the
pedestal③. Rotate the enclosure⑥and then rotate the device⑤to get the lens
an ideal angle.Adjust the focus until you get clear image. See Figure 3-6.
Assembly and adjustment of model DFigure 3-6
For model B and model C, it is easier to fit the enclosure⑥to the pedestal③if you put the
higher end in first and then the lower end.
For the models with vari-focal lens, you can adjust the zoom and focus through XVR
device.

Maintenance 13
5 Maintenance
In order to maintain the image quality and proper functioning of the device, please read the
following maintenance instructions carefully and hold rigid adherence.
Disassembly and Desiccant Replacement
Carefully follow the instructions in the manual when performing any disassembly operation
about the device; otherwise, it might cause water leakage or poor image quality due to
unprofessional disassemble.
Please contact after-sale service for desiccant replacement if there is condensed fog found
on the lens after unpacking or when the desiccant turns green. (Not all models are included
with the desiccant).
Maintaining Lens and Mirror Surface
The lens and mirror surface are covered with antireflection coating, which could be
contaminated or damaged and result in lens scratches or haze image when being touched
with dust, grease, fingerprints and other similar substances.
Do not touch the image sensor directly (CCD or CMOS). Dust and dirt could be removed
with air blower, or you can wipe the lens gently with soft cloth that moistened with alcohol.
Maintaining Device Body
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 device body, nor can strong, abrasive detergent be used.
