Installation
This chapter provides information on how to install the 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 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 camera is
between -30 to +60°C (-22 to 140°F). 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.

Installation Manual 5
•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 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.
