a. Remove the moisture absorber from the packaging.
b. Cut the card and folder along the dotted line.
c. Place the moisture absorber behind the camera’s lens module. See drawing for more information.
4. Using the mounting template sheet or the camera itself, mark and drill

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.
