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.

CONSERVEZ TOUTES LES INSTRUCTIONS DE
SÉCURITÉ ET D'UTILISATION POUR POUVOIR VOUS
Y RÉFÉRER ULTÉRIEUREMENT.
Bien que l'unité soit conçue et fabriquée conformément
à toutes les normes de sécurité en vigueur, l'installation
de cet équipement présente certains risques.
Afin de garantir la sécurité et de réduire les risques de
blessure ou de dommages, veuillez respecter les
consignes suivantes:
Caution:
· The unit’s cover is an essential part of the product. Do not open or remove it.
· Never operate the unit without the cover in place. Operating the unit without the cover poses a
risk of fire and shock hazards.
· Do not disassemble the unit or remove screws. There are no user serviceable parts inside the
unit.
· Only qualified trained personnel should service and repair this equipment.
· Observe local codes and laws and ensure that installation and operation are in accordance with
fire, security and safety standards.

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 50 newtons
(50-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 --10°
to 50°C (14° 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 (-10° à 50°C/14° 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

CM-6212 H1-IUser and Installation Guide
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.

The camera can support:
· One 12MP H.264 stream at 20 fps
· One 12MP H.264 stream at 15 fps and one Full HD 1080p H.264/MJPEG stream at 12/15 fps
(PAL/NTSC)
· One 12MP H.264 stream at 15 fps and two HD 720p H.264/MJPEG streams at 12/15 fps
(PAL/NTSC)
· One 12MP H.264 stream at 15 fps, two HD 720p H.264/MJPEG streams at 12/15 fps
(PAL/NTSC), and one D1 H.264/MJPEG stream at 12/15 fps (PAL/NTSC)
The camera includes a 1/1.7” Sony Progressive CMOS sensor and features an F2.4, hemispheric lens with
a 1.29mm focal length and 180° Field of View (FOV) at full resolution. It provides real-time, quad-stream
compression using MJPEG and H.264 baseline, main and high profiles. It also supports software
dewarping, which enables the highest video resolutions.
The camera is ideal for operation in low-light environments, as it features a Day/Night cut-off filter (ICR),
infrared IR illuminator, and 2D/3D/color noise reduction.

Caution:
If you are using FLIR’s Latitude VMS, we recommend that you configure the camera’s settings via the
AdminCenter. This is because the camera’s web-based interface might be overwritten by Latitude
settings. Refer to the Latitude online help for information regarding configuring camera settings.
Attention:
Si vous utilisez le logiciel de gestion de vidéo Latitude de FLIR, nous vous conseillons de configurer les
paramètres de la caméra via l'AdminCenter. En effet, l'interface Internet de la caméra peut être
