Initiatives on the Use of Video Products
Thank you for choosing Hikvision products.
Technology affects every aspect of our life. As a high-tech company, we are increasingly
aware of the role technology plays in improving business efficiency and quality of life,
but at the same time, the potential harm of its improper usage. For example, video
products are capable of recording real, complete and clear images. This provides a high
value in retrospect and preserving real-time facts. However, it may also result in the
infringement of a third party's legitimate rights and interests if improper distribution,
use and/or processing of video data takes place. With the philosophy of "Technology
for the Good", Hikvision requests that every end user of video technology and video
products shall comply with all the applicable laws and regulations, as well as ethical
customs, aiming to jointly create a better community.
Please read the following initiatives carefully:
●Everyone has a reasonable expectation of privacy, and the installation of video
products should not be in conflict with this reasonable expectation. Therefore, a
warning notice shall be given in a reasonable and effective manner and clarify the
monitoring range, when installing video products in public areas. For non-public
areas, a third party's rights and interests shall be evaluated when installing video
products, including but not limited to, installing video products only after
obtaining the consent of the stakeholders, and not installing highly-invisible video
products.
●The purpose of video products is to record real activities within a specific time and
space and under specific conditions. Therefore, every user shall first reasonably
define his/her own rights in such specific scope, in order to avoid infringing on a
third party's portraits, privacy or other legitimate rights.
●During the use of video products, video image data derived from real scenes will
continue to be generated, including a large amount of biological data (such as
facial images), and the data could be further applied or reprocessed. Video
products themselves could not distinguish good from bad regarding how to use
the data based solely on the images captured by the video products. The result of
data usage depends on the method and purpose of use of the data controllers.
Therefore, data controllers shall not only comply with all the applicable laws and
regulations and other normative requirements, but also respect international
norms, social morality, good morals, common practices and other non-mandatory
requirements, and respect individual privacy, portrait and other rights and
interests.
●The rights, values and other demands of various stakeholders should always be

considered when processing video data that is continuously generated by video
products. In this regard, product security and data security are extremely crucial.
Therefore, every end user and data controller, shall undertake all reasonable and
necessary measures to ensure data security and avoid data leakage, improper
disclosure and improper use, including but not limited to, setting up access
control, selecting a suitable network environment (the Internet or Intranet) where
video products are connected, establishing and constantly optimizing network
security.
●Video products have made great contributions to the improvement of social
security around the world, and we believe that these products will also play an
active role in more aspects of social life. Any abuse of video products in violation
of human rights or leading to criminal activities are contrary to the original intent
of technological innovation and product development. Therefore, each user shall
establish an evaluation and tracking mechanism of their product application to
ensure that every product is used in a proper and reasonable manner and with
good faith.

Safety Instruction
These instructions are intended to ensure that the user can use the product correctly
to avoid danger or property loss.
The precaution measure is divided into "Warnings" and "Cautions":
Warnings: Serious injury or death may be caused if any of these warnings are
neglected.
Cautions: Injury or equipment damage may be caused if any of these cautions are
neglected.
Warnings Follow these safeguards to
prevent serious injury or death.
Cautions Follow these precautions to
prevent potential injury or material
damage.
Warnings:
If camera fails to synchronize local time with that of the network, you need to set
up camera time manually. Visit the camera and enter system settings interface for
time setting.
Please adopt the power adapter which can meet the safety extra low voltage (SELV)
standard. And source with 12 VDC or 24 VAC (depending on models) according to
the IEC60950-1 and Limited Power Source standard.
To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose this product to rain or

Network Camera User Manual
6
moisture.
This installation should be made by a qualified service person and should conform
to all the local codes.
Please install blackouts equipment into the power supply circuit for convenient
supply interruption.
Please make sure that the ceiling can support more than 50(N) Newton gravities if
the camera is fixed to the ceiling.
If the product does not work properly, please contact your dealer or the nearest
service center. Never attempt to disassemble the camera yourself. (We shall not
assume any responsibility for problems caused by unauthorized repair or
maintenance.)
Cautions:
Make sure the power supply voltage is correct before using the camera.
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 the strong light such as sun or incandescent lamp.
The strong light can cause fatal damage to the camera.
The sensor may be burned out by a laser beam, so when any laser equipment is
being used, make sure that the surface of the sensor not be exposed to the laser
beam.
Do not place the camera in extremely hot, cold temperatures (refer to product
specification for working temperature), dusty or damp environment, and do not
expose it to high electromagnetic radiation.
To avoid heat accumulation, ensure there is good ventilation to the device.
Keep the camera away from water and any liquids.

While shipping, pack the camera in its original, or equivalent, packing materials.
Or packing the same texture.
Improper use or replacement of the battery may result in hazard of explosion.
Please use the manufacturer recommended battery type.
Notes:
For the camera supports IR, you are required to pay attention to the following
precautions to prevent IR reflection:
Dust or grease on the dome cover will cause IR reflection. Please do not remove
the dome cover film until the installation is finished. If there is dust or grease on
the dome cover, clean the dome cover with clean soft cloth and isopropyl alcohol.
Make certain the installation location does not have reflective surfaces of objects
too close to the camera. The IR light from the camera may reflect back into the
lens causing reflection.
The foam ring around the lens must be seated flush against the inner surface of
the bubble to isolate the lens from the IR LEDS. Fasten the dome cover to camera
body so that the foam ring and the dome cover are attached seamlessly.
