entering the camera along the cables.
2. Any PoE, power, audio and I/O cables are waterproofed using
waterproof silicon rubber or the like.
3. The silica gel bag loses its effectiveness when the dry camera is
opened. To prevent the lens from fogging up, replace the silica gel
bag every time you open the camera, and conceal the gel bag in
camera within 2 minutes of exposing to open air.

Chapter 1 Box Camera
The Box Camera is a series of indoor IP cameras consisting of fixed focal
and varifocal models in different resolutions. The Box Camera supports
lens replacement and features an automatic infrared-cut filter for day and
night surveillance. The super low lux models are capable of displaying
color live view in near darkness. Models equipped with a mini USB port
can be connected wirelessly through a GV-WiFi Adapter (optional). The
WDR Pro models can produce clear image for scenes with contrasting
intensity of lights (see 1.2.1 Wide Dynamic Range Pro for details). Models
using P-Iris allow for precise control of exposure, producing images with
better clarity and contrast. For details on related models, see 1.2 Features.
