1.1 Precautions
When installing your Annexxus system, be sure to avoid:
excessive heat, such as direct sunlight or heating appliances
moisture, dust, and smoke
strong magnetic fields
close to sources of powerful electromagnetic radiation, such as radios or TV transmitters
close to humid or excessively dusty places
where exposed to mechanical vibrations
close to fluorescent lamps or objects reflecting light
under unstable light sources (may cause flickering)
temperatures below 10° Celsius or 14° Fahrenheit and above 50° Celsius or 122° Fahrenheit for
AX41V1MVR
Power Supply
Ensure the supplied voltage meets the power consumption requirements of this camera before powering the
camera on. Incorrect voltage may cause irreparable damage to the video camera and will effectively void the
camera warranty
Cleaning
For maximum optical clarity, the camera dome or lens must remain clean. Use a soft, dry cloth to
remove finger prints or dust from the dome cover.
Use a blower to remove dust from the lens.
Clean the body with a soft, dry cloth. If it is very dirty, use a cloth dampened with a small quantity of
neutral detergent, then wipe dry.
Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, benzene, or thinners, as they may damage the surface
finishes.
Servicing
To avoid electrical shock and to preserve the product warranty, DO NOT disassembles the camera. Refer
servicing to qualified personnel only.

Product Overview
Key Features
Exceptional Images
This camera employs a 5MP CMOS sensor that quadruples sensitivity without blurring. The camera’s
technology provides picture with greater detail in even the most difficult lighting conditions. It delivers crisp
images that are perfect for object- and person-recognition.
Smart focus
A built-in nine-point focus indicator enables the camera to focus precisely and automatically on objects,
relieving users of the need to adjust the focus manually.
Powerful IR Illuminator
The powerful IR illuminator lights objects evenly, reducing image noise and storage requirements. The IR
illuminator activates automatically when the lighting dims to less than 10 lux. In night mode, the illuminator
enables the camera to capture images at 0 lux.
ICR Day/Night Switching
The camera incorporates a mechanical ICR filter to capture perfect pictures at any light level. The camera
switches between day and night modes automatically depending on the lighting conditions, video can
capture at 0.3-lux and black/white video at 0 lux, ensuring crisp, clear images at all times. The camera’s
megapixel resolution and mechanical ICR filter deliver sharp, detailed captures and images of distant objects
in even total darkness.
Housing Certified to IP66 and IP67
Certified to IP66 and IP67, die-cast aluminum alloy housing protects the camera against extremely bad
weather, making it perfect for outdoor surveillance.
Easy Installation
The cable-management bracket enables easy installation in any location, including walls, surfaces, and
ceilings. The camera’s built-in user-friendly I/O connectors also help reduce installation time and
maintenance costs.
SD Memory Card Storage
The camera is equipped with an SD card that enables round-the-clock monitoring, ensuring that the camera
can store captured images even in the event that its network connection goes down. The camera delivers all-
day surveillance and round-the-clock security.
