IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND WARNINGS
Electrical Safety
All installation and operation here should conform to your local electrical safety codes. The
power shall conform to the requirement in the SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) and the
Limited power source is rated DC24V/2.5A ± 25%. We assume no liability or responsibility for
all the fires or electrical shock caused by improper handling or installation. We are not liable for
any problems caused by unauthorized modification or attempted repair.
Transportation Security
Care must be given to avoid heavy stress, violent vibration or water damage during
transportation, storage and installation.
Installation
Do not apply power to the camera before completing installation. Please install the proper
power cut-off device during the installation connection. Always follow the instruction guide the
manufacturer recommended.
Qualified engineers needed
All the examination and repair work should be done by the qualified service engineers. We are
not liable for any problems caused by unauthorized modifications or attempted repair.
Environment
This series network camera should be installed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight,
inflammable, explosive substances and etc. Please keep it away from the electromagnetic
radiation object and environment. Please make sure the CCD (CMOS) component is out of the
radiation of the laser beam device. Otherwise it may result in CCD (CMOS) optical component
damage. Please keep the sound ventilation. Do not allow the water and other liquid falling into
the camera. Lightning-proof device is recommended to be adopted to better prevent lightning
damage. The grounding studs of the product are recommended to be grounded to further
enhance the reliability of the camera.
Daily Maintenance
Please shut down the device and then unplug the power cable before you begin daily
maintenance work. Do not touch the CCD (CMOS) optic component. You can use the blower to
clean the dust on the lens surface. Always use the dry soft cloth to clean the device. If there is
too much dust, please use the water to dilute the mild detergent first and then use it to clean
the device. Finally use the dry cloth to clean the device. Please put the dustproof cap to protect
the CCD (CMOS) component when you do not use the camera.
Accessories
Be sure to use all the accessories recommended by manufacturer. Before installation, please
open the package and check all the components are included. Contact your local retailer ASAP
if something is broken in your package.

1A. OVERVIEW
This series PTZ camera utilizes High Definition Advanced Video
System (HDAVS) technology, an HD-over-coaxial cable video
standard that allows long-distance, HD transmission of video,
audio, and control functions. The camera supports CVBS with an
additional output.
The camera supports DC24V/2.5A ± 25%, and draws from: 9.6W
to 22W. It also is IP66 rated with TVS 6000V lightning protection;
surge protection.
The camera supports the IR night vision function. In the night
environments, the device can use the IR light to highlight the
object which is suitable for the surveillance function in the low
illumination environments. The waterproof design conforms to the
IP67 level, thus is suitable for use in outdoor environments.
Note: Take careful steps when handling the camera. See figure
1-1.

4A. FAQ 4B. LIGHTNING PROOFING AND SURGE PROTECTION
This PTZ adopts TVS lighting protection technology. It can
effectively prevent damages from various pulse signals below
6000W, such as sudden lighting and surge. Necessary precaution
measures should be taken in accordance to local guidelines when
installing the speed dome in an outdoor environment.
●The signal transmission cable and high-voltage device (or
high-voltage cable) should be at least 50 meters apart.
●If possible, route cables through a properly grounded and
shielded underground conduit.
●In areas of strong lightning occurrence or near high sensitive
voltage (such as near high-voltage transformer substation), it is
required to install additional a high-power lightning protection
device or lightning rod.
●Electrical bonding is recommended. The ground device should
meet anti-jamming requirements and conform to your local
electrical safety code. The ground device should not short
circuit to N (neutral) line of high voltage power grid or mixed
with other wires. When connecting the system to the ground
alone, the grounding resistance should not be more than 4Ω
and earth cable cross-sectional area should be no less than 25
mm². See Figure 5-1.
●For indoor usage, The yellow and green GND wire or GND
screw of the speed dome should be reliably connected by
several strands of copper wire with no less than 25mm²and
indoor equipotential GND terminal. Please refer to Figure 5-2
for lightning proof installation mode.
