1. Introduction
The 18x Zoom AF IP Camera integrates a superior CMOS sensor with 18x auto-focus zoom lens. This IP Camera
offers strengthened support for surveillance application that demands consistent precision zoom control while
high resolution and superior video quality are requisite.
2. Important Safety Instructions
Be sure to use only the standard adapter that is specified in the specification sheet. Using any other adapter
could cause fire, electrical shock, or damage to the product. Incorrectly connecting the power supply may cause
explosion, fire, electric shock, or damage to the product. Do not connect multiple products to one single adapter.
Exceeding the capacity may cause abnormal heat generation or fire.
Do not place conductive objects (e.g. screwdrivers, coins or any metal items) or containers filled with water on
top of the product. Doing so may cause personal injury due to fire, electric shock, or falling objects.
If any unusual smells or smoke comes out of the unit, stop using the product. In this case, immediately
disconnect the power source and contact the service center. Continued use in such a condition may cause fire or
electric shock.
If this product fails to operate normally, contact the nearest service center. Never disassemble or modify this
product in any way. (GRUNDIG is not liable for problems caused by unauthorised modifications or attempted
repair.)
To prevent fire or electric shock, do not expose the inside of this device to rain or moisture.
