9. Unit is intended for installation in a Network Environment 0 as defined
in IEC TR 62102. As such, associated Ethernet wiring shall be limited to
inside the building.
10. For the installation process, remove the dome cover from the camera
module by loosening the three (3) screws on the dome. Use the
wrench provided with the camera.
11. Install the moisture packet in the base
of the camera’s lens.
• Remove the moisture absorber
from the packaging.
• Cut the card and folder along
the dotted line.
• Place the moisture absorber
around the camera’s lens module.
12. Remove the protective film between the dome and the camera module.
STEP 1 – PREPARING TO MOUNT THE CAMERA
STEP 2 – POWERING THE CAMERA
Pass the wires through and make all the necessary connections.
1. If you are using a PoE switch, connect the camera using an Ethernet
cable for both data and power.
2. If you are using a non-PoE switch, connect the camera to the switch
using an Ethernet cable for data transmission and use a power
adapter to power the camera.

Moisture absorber
& Absorber Guide
Test Video Cable
WARNING: It is highly recommended that you install the moisture
absorber when mounting the camera. The moisture
absorber prevents moisture from being captured
inside the camera's housing, which may cause image
performance issues and damage the camera.
NOTE: The camera will generate enough heat to dry moisture
during operation. In most cases it will not need the
moisture absorber for more than the first day. In cases
where the camera can experience a moisture issue,
users must keep the moisture absorber in the camera.
The moisture absorber has an approximately 6-month
life cycle, varying depending on the environment.
13. Remove the Poron Ring before placing the dome back on the camera.
When attaching the dome back, align the line on the dome with the one
on base of the camera.
14. Using the mounting template sheet or the camera itself, mark and drill
the necessary holes in the wall or ceiling.
NOTE: To ensure moisture seal, make sure the o-ring is in
place between
a
and
b
. In extreme environments use
of an outdoor rated sealer is recommended.
NOTE: Cables with ø4.5mm to ø5.5mm thickness should use
the black rubber ring. Cables over ø5.5mm in thickness
should use the white rubber ring.

(ø4mm). The white rubber ring has an internal diameter of ø0.19”
(ø5mm). When using the waterproof cap, use the rubber ring best
suited for your network cable’s diameter.

& Absorber Guide
Test Video Cable
WARNING: It is highly recommended that you install the moisture
absorber when mounting the camera. The moisture
absorber prevents moisture from being captured
inside the camera's housing, which may cause image
performance issues and damage the camera.
NOTE: The camera will generate enough heat to dry moisture
during operation. In most cases it will not need the
moisture absorber for more than the first day. In cases
where the camera can experience a moisture issue,
users must keep the moisture absorber in the camera.
The moisture absorber has an approximately 6-month
life cycle, varying depending on the environment.
13. Remove the Poron Ring before placing the dome back on the camera.
When attaching the dome back, align the line on the dome with the one
on base of the camera.
14. Using the mounting template sheet or the camera itself, mark and drill
the necessary holes in the wall or ceiling.
NOTE: To ensure moisture seal, make sure the o-ring is in
place between
a
and
b
. In extreme environments use
of an outdoor rated sealer is recommended.
NOTE: Cables with ø4.5mm to ø5.5mm thickness should use
the black rubber ring. Cables over ø5.5mm in thickness
should use the white rubber ring.

3. The waterproof cap set comes with two rubber rings with dierent
diameters. The black rubber ring has an internal diameter of ø0.15”
(ø4mm). The white rubber ring has an internal diameter of ø0.19”
(ø5mm). When using the waterproof cap, use the rubber ring best
suited for your network cable’s diameter.
4. Once the installation is complete, adjust the camera’s tilt, panning and
rotation as needed. The cameras’ max angles are:
Pan: 0° ~ 360°, Tilt: 0° ~ 70°, Rotation: 0° ~ 360°
5. Assemble the dome cover over the camera body and detach the
protecting film from the dome bubble.
1. The mounting surface must withstand five times the camera weight.
2. Do not let the cables get caught in improper places or the electric line
cover can be damaged. This may cause a short or fire.
3. CAUTION: These servicing instructions are for use by qualified service
personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock do not perform any
servicing other than that contained in the operating instructions unless
you are qualified to do so.
4. CAUTION: There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced
incorrectly and it should be replaced only with the same battery.
ATTENTION: Il y a risque d’explosion si la batterie est remplacée par
une batterie de type incorrect. Mettre au rebut les batteries usages
conformément aux instructions.
5. Used batteries must be disposed of according to local regulations or
the battery manufacturer’s instructions. Disposing of batteries in a fire
or in a hot oven, or mechanically crushing and cutting them may cause
an explosion.
6. Leaving the battery in very high temperature or low air pressure
environments may result in an explosion or leak of flammable liquids
or gases.
7. This product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed Power
Supply Unit marked “Class 2” or “LPS” or “PS2” and rated 12
Vdc, 0.49A (DWC-MPF5Wi and DWC-MF5Wi series) and 0.33A
(DWC-MF2Wi and DWC-MPF2Wi series) min.
8. The wired LAN hub providing power over the Ethernet (PoE) in
accordance with IEEE 802-3af shall be a UL Listed device with the
output evaluated as a Limited Power Source as defined in UL60950-1 or
PS2 as defined in UL62368-1.
9. Unit is intended for installation in a Network Environment 0 as defined
in IEC TR 62102. As such, associated Ethernet wiring shall be limited to
inside the building.
10. For the installation process, remove the dome cover from the camera
module by loosening the three (3) screws on the dome. Use the
wrench provided with the camera.
11. Install the moisture packet in the base
of the camera’s lens.
• Remove the moisture absorber
from the packaging.
• Cut the card and folder along
the dotted line.
• Place the moisture absorber
around the camera’s lens module.
12. Remove the protective film between the dome and the camera module.
STEP 1 – PREPARING TO MOUNT THE CAMERA
STEP 2 – POWERING THE CAMERA
Pass the wires through and make all the necessary connections.
1. If you are using a PoE switch, connect the camera using an Ethernet
cable for both data and power.
2. If you are using a non-PoE switch, connect the camera to the switch
using an Ethernet cable for data transmission and use a power
adapter to power the camera.
