Precautions 
1. Do not install the camera near electric or magnetic fields. Install the camera away from 
TV/radio transmitters, magnets, electric motors, transformers and audio speakers since the 
electromagnetic fields generated from these devices may distort the video image or otherwise 
interfere with camera operation. 
2. Never disassemble the camera beyond the recommendations in this manual nor introduce 
materials other than those recommended herein. Improper disassembly or introduction of 
corrosive materials may result in equipment failure or other damage. 
3. Try to avoid facing the camera toward the sun. In some circumstances, direct sunlight may 
cause permanent damage to the sensor and/or internal circuits, as well as creating unbalanced 
illumination beyond the capability of the camera to compensate. 
4. Keep the power cable away from water and other liquids and never touch the power cord 
with wet hands. Touching a wet power cord with your hands or touching the power cord with 
wet hands may result in electric shock. 
5. Never install the camera in areas exposed to oil, gas or solvents. Oil, gas or solvents may 
result in equipment failure, electric shock or, in extreme cases, fire. 
6. Cleaning. For cameras with interchangeable lenses, do not touch the surface of the sensor 
directly with the hands. Use lens tissue or a cotton tipped applicator and ethanol to clean the 
sensor and the camera lens. Use a damp soft cloth to remove any dirt from the camera body. 
Please do not use complex solvents, corrosive or abrasive agents for cleaning of any part of the 
camera. 
7. Do not operate the camera beyond the specified temperature, humidity or power source 
ratings. This camera is suitable for indoor operation only. Use the camera at temperatures 
within -10°C~50°C (14°F~122°F) and humidity less than 80%; this device is not rated as 
submersible. The input power source is 12VDC. Be sure to connect the proper + / - polarity and 
voltage, as incorrect polarity or too high a voltage will likely cause the camera to fail, and such 
damage is not covered by the warranty. 
8. Mounting. Use care in selecting a solid mounting surface which will support the weight of the 
camera plus any wind, snow, ice or other loading, and securely attach the camera to the 
mounting surface using screws and anchors which will properly support the camera. If 
necessary (e.g. when mounting to drop ceilings) use a safety wire to provide additional support 
for the camera.
