Installation
This chapter provides information on how to install the TruVision Outdoor IP
dome and bullet cameras.
Installation environment
When installing your product, consider these factors:
• Electrical: Install electrical wiring carefully. It should be done by qualified
service personnel. Always use a proper PoE switch or a 12 VDC UL listed
Class 2 or CE certified power supply to power the the bullet camera, and a
proper PoE / PoE+ switch or a 24 VAC UL listed Class 2 or CE certified
power supply to power the dome camera. Do not overload the power cord or
adapter.
• Ventilation: Ensure that the location planned for the installation of the
camera is well ventilated.
• Temperature: Do not operate the camera beyond the specified temperature,
humidity or power source ratings. The operating temperature of the bullet
camera is between -10 to +60°C (14°F to 140°F) and outdoor dome is
between -40 to +60 °C (-40 to +140 °F) with the heater and fan on. Humidity
is below 90%.
• Moisture:Do not expose the camera to rain or moisture, or try to operate it in
wet areas. Turn the power off immediately if the camera is wet and ask a
qualified service person for servicing. Moisture can damage the camera and
also create the danger of electric shock.
• Servicing: Do not attempt to service this camera yourself. Any attempt to
dismantle or remove the covers from this product will invalidate the warranty
and may also result in serious injury. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
• Cleaning: Do not touch the sensor modules with fingers. If cleaning is
necessary, use a clean cloth with a some ethanol and wipe the camera
gently. If the camera will not be used for an extended period of time, put on
the lens cap to protect the sensors from dirt.
