Proper Disposal of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE)
The European Union (EU) has enacted Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE), which aims to prevent EEE waste from arising; to
encourage reuse, recycling, and recovery of EEE waste; and to promote
environmental responsibility.
In accordance with these regulations, all EEE products labeled with the “crossed
out wheeled bin” either on the product itself or in the product literature must not be
disposed of in regular rubbish bins, mixed with regular household or other commercial waste, or by
other regular municipal waste collection means. Instead, and in order to prevent possible harm to the
environment or human health, all EEE products (including any cables that came with the product)
should be responsibly discarded or recycled.
To identify a responsible disposal method nearby, please contact the local waste collection or
recycling service, the original place of purchase or product supplier, or the responsible government
authority in the area. Business users should contact their supplier or refer to their purchase contract.

Caution:
·Do not drop the camera or subject it to physical shock.
·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.
·Do not aim the camera lens at strong light, such as the sun or an incandescent lamp, which can
seriously damage the camera.
·Make sure that the surface of the sensor is not exposed to a laser beam, which could burn out
the sensor.
·If the camera will be fixed to a ceiling, verify that the ceiling can support more than 20 newtons
(20-N) of gravity, or over three times the camera’s weight.
·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 (cooling/heating). Operating temperature should be kept in the range --20°
to 50°C (-4° to 122°F), with no more than 90% non-condensing humidity.
Attention:
Afin d'éviter tout dommage dû à une surchauffe ou toute panne de l'unité, assurez-vous que la régulation
de température est suffisante pour répondre aux exigences de l'unité (refroidissement/chauffage). La
température de fonctionnement doit être maintenue dans la plage (-20° à 50°C/-4° à 122°F), sans
condensation d'humidité supérieur à 90%.

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. Install the unit on the backbone of a trusted network.
·Electrostatic Safeguards: The unit and 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. When finished with the physical installation, complete the second phase of installation, which
is the setup and configuration of the unit.

5.2 Attaching and Adjusting the Lens
The camera is shipped without a lens. You must attach and adjust the lens before viewing video.
To attach and adjust the lens
1. Remove the plastic insert covering the threaded camera lens mount. Do not touch the sensor or
allow dust to accumulate in the lens mount.
2. If you are using a C-mount lens, screw a 5mm adapter ring into the C-Mount to convert it to a CS-
Mount.
3. Align the lens threads into the lens mount and screw in the lens.
4. If you are using a DC auto iris lens, plug the auto iris cable from the lens assembly into the IRIS
port of the camera.
5. When using a manual lens or a DC auto iris lens, verify that the P-Iris/DC-Iris toggle switch is in the
DC-Iris position.
