Do not install/operate the device in places
• with large scale dust and dirt.
• with steam or oil vapours (e.g. kitchen).
• with direct sunlight.
• strong heat emission (e.g. radiator).
• with improper ambient temperatures.
• near sources of strong radiation (e.g. radio transmitters, magnetic elds).

For outdoor installations (surface mount variant only), use only IP67 approved components
and assemblies (e.g. sealing rings, cable gland).
To extend the product life cycle, protect the device from direct inuence of weather condi-
tions (rainfall, insolation).
Therefore, we recommend a protected installation site (e.g. under a projecting roof).

Observe the following notes for the operation of the device:
• If the device or the cables connected to the device are located near sources of strong
radiation, the video image may be distorted.
• The device is equipped with automatic gain control (AGC). In low light the image may
be altered (e.g. noise). This is not a malfunction.
• The quality of the video image depends on the lens, the lighting and the used moni-
tor.
• Automatic white balance depends on the lighting used and can cause colour distor-
tions in articial light.
• Poor lighting can lead to faulty white balance.
