To help ensure safety and to help reduce risk of injury or damage, observe the following:
Warning:
1. The camera cover is an essential part of the product. Do not open or remove it.
2. Never operate the camera without the cover in place. Operating the camera
without the cover poses a risk of fire and shock hazards.
3. Do not disassemble the camera or remove screws. There are no user serviceable
parts inside the unit.
4. Do not drop the camera or subject it to physical shock.
5. Do not touch sensor modules with fingers. If cleaning is necessary, use a clean cloth
with a bit of ethanol and wipe it gently. If the camera will not be used for an
extended period of time, put on the lens cap to protect the sensor from dirt.
6. Do not aim the camera lens at strong light, such as the sun or an incandescent lamp,
which can seriously damage the camera.
7. Make sure that the surface of the sensor is not exposed to a laser beam, which could
burn out the sensor.
8. If the camera will be fixed to a ceiling, verify that the ceiling can support more than
50 newtons (50-N) of gravity, or over three times the camera’s weight.
9. Make sure the power supply voltage is correct before using the camera.
10. The camera should be packed in its original packing if it is reshipped.
Caution:
To avoid damage from overheating or unit failure, assure that there is sufficient temperature
regulation to support the unit’s requirements. Operating temperature should be kept in the
range -30° to 60°C (-22° to 140°F), with no more than 95% non-condensing humidity.
Warning:
The unit contains a lithium battery. There is a risk of severe injury if the battery is replaced by
an incorrect type. The battery cannot be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste in the
European Union according to the EU Battery Directive 2006/66/EC. See the product
documentation for specific battery information. The battery is marked with the symbol .
For proper recycling, return the battery to your supplier or to a designated collection point.
For more information see www.recyclethis.info.
The battery contains perchlorate material. Special handling may apply. See
www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate. This notice is required by the California Code
of Regulations, Title 22, Division 4.5, Chapter 33: Best Management Practices for Perchlorate
Materials.

Electrical Safety Notice and Warnings
Warning:
1. Read the installation instructions before you connect the unit to a power source.
2. Electrical safety should always be observed. All electrical connections must be
performed by a certified electrician.
3. If you use an extension cord with this system, make sure that the total ampere rating
on the products plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the extension cord
ampere rating.
4. To avoid possible shock hazards or damaging the unit, assure that the positive and
negative of the power leads are properly connected to the terminal block connector
before plugging it into the unit or turning on the power source.
5. To avoid shock, ensure that all AC wiring is not exposed and that the earth grounding
is maintained.
6. Ensure that any equipment to which this device will be attached is also connected to
properly wired grounded receptacles.
7. Do not connect or disconnect any cables or perform installation or maintenance on
this device during an electrical storm.
8. In the following situations, turn off the electric power immediately and appropriate
repairs, replacements or remedies should be taken if:
The unit has been physically crushed or deformed.
The unit has been exposed to water.
The unit has been exposed to, or shows signs of damage from fire,
intense heat, heavy smoke, fumes, or vapors.
Electrical connections of the unit become abnormally hot or generate smoke.
The unit has been dropped, damaged or shows signs of loose internal parts.
The unit does not operate properly.

Minimizing EMI and RFI
When wires run for a significant distance in an electromagnetic field, electromagnetic interference (EMI)
can occur. Strong EMI (e.g. lightning or radio transmitters) can destroy the units and can pose an electrical
hazard by conducting power through lines and into the system. Poor quality or worn wiring can result in
radio frequency interference (RFI). To minimize the effects of EMI and RFI, consult your reseller.
Site Preparation
There are several requirements that should be properly addressed prior to installation at the site. The
following specifications are requirements for proper installation and operation of the unit:
Ambient Environment Conditions: Avoid positioning the unit near heaters or heating system
outputs. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Use proper maintenance to ensure that the unit is free
from dust, dirt, smoke, particles, chemicals, smoke, water or water condensation, and exposure to
EMI.
Accessibility: The location used should allow easy access to unit connections and cables.
Safety: Cables and electrical cords should be routed in a manner that prevents safety hazards,
such as from tripping, wire fraying, overheating, etc. Ensure that nothing rests on the unit’s cables
or power cords.
Ample Air Circulation: Leave enough space around the unit to allow free air circulation.
Cabling Considerations: Units should be placed in locations that are optimal for the type
of video cabling used between the unit and the cameras and external devices. Using a
cable longer than the manufacturer’s specifications for optimal video signal may result in
degradation of color and video parameters.
Physical Security:The unit provides threat detection for physical security systems. In order to
ensure that the unit cannot be disabled or tampered with, the system should be installed with
security measures regarding physical access by trusted and un-trusted parties.
Network Security:The unit transmits over IP to security personnel for video surveillance. Proper
network security measures should be in place to assure networks remain operating and free from
malicious interference. The unit is intended for installation on the backbone of a trusted network.
Electrostatic Safeguards:The unit as well as other equipment connected to it (relay outputs,
alarm inputs, racks, carpeting, etc.) shall be properly grounded to prevent electrostatic discharge.
The physical installation of the unit is the first phase of making the unit operational in a security plan. The
goal is to physically place the unit, connect it to other devices in the system, and to establish network
connectivity.

This section describes how to install and connect the unit. It includes the following topics:
Pre-Installation Checklist
Outdoor Mounting Recommendations
Mounting Instructions
Powering the Camera
Connecting the Camera to the Network
Resetting the Camera
5.1 Pre-Installation Checklist
Before installing the unit, make sure that:
Instructions in the General Cautions and Warnings, Electrical Safety Notice and Warnings,
Minimizing EMI and RFI, and Site Preparation sections are followed.
All related equipment is powered off during the installation.
Use best security practices to design and maintain secured camera access, communications
infrastructure, tamper-proof outdoor boxes, etc.
All electrical work must be performed in accordance with local regulatory requirements.
Caution:
To avoid damage from overheating or unit failure, ensure that there is sufficient
temperature regulation to support the unit’s cooling/heating requirements. Ambient
operating temperature should be kept in the range -30° to 55°C (-22° to 131°F), with no
more than 95% non-condensing humidity.
5.2 Outdoor Mounting Recommendations
Following are additional considerations for outdoor installation:
For outside wiring installation, always use weatherproof equipment, such as boxes, receptacles,
connectors, etc.
For electrical wiring, use the properly rated sheathed cables for conditions to which the cable will
be exposed (for example, moisture, heat, UV, physical requirements, etc.).
Plan ahead to determine where to install infrastructure weatherproof equipment. Whenever
possible, ground components to an outdoor ground.

Figure 8: Reinstalling the Lower Dome
5.4 Powering the Camera
The camera can be powered by a 12VDC power supply or via an 802.3af PoE (Class 3) connection over the
unit’s network cable.
Figure 9: Power Connections
The 12VDC power supply is not provided by DVTEL. The power supply should provide 12VDC
+/- 10% and at least 5 watts at 1 ampere.
5.5 Connecting the Camera to the Network
To view and configure the camera via a LAN, you must attach the camera via the network switch or router
to the same subnet (network segment or VLAN) as the computer that manages the unit. It is recommended
to use DVTEL’s DNA utility to search for and change the camera’s initial IP address.
