Safety Instruction
These instructions are intended to ensure that the user can use the product correctly to avoid danger or
property loss. Please read this Guide carefully before using the product, and keep it properly for future
reference. If the product cannot work normally or is damaged because the user does not follow the
safety instructions, we shall not assume any responsibility.
Before installation, please follow the instructions below:
Instructions
1. Please adopt power supply in the safety voltage range.
2. If the product does not work properly, please contact your dealer or the nearest service center.
Never attempt to disassemble or repair the product yourself in any way.
3. Do not drop the camera or subject it to physical shock.
4. When cleaning the lens, please use a rubber dust blower to remove dust on the lens or filter, and
use dry soft cleaning cloth to remove the dirt on camera surface. For some hard dirt, user can apply
some detergent to the cleaning cloth and wipe gently. Never apply any volatile solvent, such as
ethanol, benzene and diluents, to avoid damage to surface coating.
5. Do not focus the camera lens on strong light such as the sun or incandescent lamp. The strong light
can cause overexposure or light leak (not camera malfunction), which may shorten camera lifetime.
6. Do not expose the camera in the environment not defined in the Manual. Maintenance and fee due
to exposure of product in the wrong conditions will be user’s responsibility.

iii
7. Indoor Dome Camera cannot be installed at rainy or wet places. If the Indoor Dome Camera has a
connecting rod on the bracket, make sure there is no hole on the rod to avoid water.
8. Outdoor Dome Camera must be completely sealed to avoid dampness. Make sure there is no hole
on the connecting rod of bracket to avoid water.
9. While shipping the camera, pack it in the factory packing or use materials with equivalent quality.
10. When it is necessary to replace a part, please contact your dealer in advance and replace the part
with specified model or part of the same features. We shall not assume any responsibility for
problems caused by unauthorized replacement.
11. Do not shield the sensor at front of the lens housing.
12. When power off the camera, reboot it after 30 seconds.
Anti-thunder and Anti-surge
The camera adopts built-in anti-thunder technology and can withstand instant 4KV thunder when it is
well grounded. To prevent damage caused by thunders exceeding the built-in anti-thunder level, an
independent anti-thunder engineering must be carried out. When installing it outdoor, please note the
following tips to reduce damage efficiently such as thunder.
1. The distance between the signal wire and the high-tension apparatus or high voltage cable should
be at least 50m.
2. Try to route cables along the eave when installing outdoor.
3. When installing camera in an open field, route cables inside sealed steel pipes under the earth and
ground the pipes with one point. Never route cables in aerial way.
4. In heavy thunderstorm area or high-tension zone (such as high voltage transformer substation), an
extra superpower anti-thunder apparatus and lightning rod must be installed.
5. The anti-thunder and grounding design of outdoor apparatus and wires must consider the
anti-thunder requirements of the building and conform to the requests of national and industrial
standards.
6. The system must be grounded with equipotential. The grounding apparatus must be
anti-interference and electrically safe. It cannot be short-circuited or hybrid connected to the null line
of high-voltage power grid. When it is grounded independently, the ground impedance is ≤4Ωand
the earth lead section surface must be ≥25mm2.
7. The anti-thunder grounding wire of the dome camera uses multi-strand copper cable with section
surface ≥4mm2(strand diameter about ≥2.3mm).
