Cautions:
Make sure the power supply voltage is correct before using the product.
Do not drop the product or subject it to physical shock. Do not install the
product on vibratory surface or places.
Do not expose it to high electromagnetic radiating environment.
Do not aim the lens at the strong light such as sun or incandescent lamp. The
strong light can cause fatal damage to the product.
The sensor may be burned out by a laser beam, so when any laser equipment is
being used, make sure that the surface of the sensor not be exposed to the
laser beam.
Do not place the camera in extremely hot, cold temperatures (the operating
temperature should be between -30°C ~ 60°C, or -40°C ~ 60°C if the camera
model has an “H” in its suffix), dusty or damp environment, and do not expose
it to high electromagnetic radiation.
To avoid heat accumulation, good ventilation is required for a proper operating
environment.
Keep the camera away from water and any liquid.
While shipping, the camera should be packed in its original packing.
Improper use or replacement of the battery may result in hazard of explosion.
Please use the manufacturer recommended battery type.
For the camera supports IR, you are required to pay attention to the following
precautions to prevent IR reflection:
Dust or grease on the dome cover will cause IR reflection. Please do not remove
the dome cover film until the installation is finished. If there is dust or grease on
the dome cover, clean the dome cover with clean soft cloth and isopropyl
alcohol.
Make certain the installation location does not have reflective surfaces of
objects too close to the camera. The IR light from the camera may reflect back
into the lens causing reflection.
The foam ring around the lens must be seated flush against the inner surface of
the bubble to isolate the lens from the IR LEDS. Fasten the dome cover to
camera body so that the foam ring and the dome cover are attached seamlessly.
