Install this product when the humidity is low. If installation is performed when it is raining or in very
humid conditions, the inside may be affected by humidity, causing mist-over inside the camera.
Mounting method for this product
This product is designed to be used as a pendant mount camera. If the product is mounted on a
desktop or at a slant, it may not work correctly and its lifetime may be shortened.
Do not place this product in the following places:
• Locations where a chemical agent is used such as a swimming pool
• Locations subject to moisture or oil smoke such as a kitchen
• Locations that have a specific environment that is subject to an inflammable atmosphere or sol-
vents
• Locations where radiation, an x-ray, a strong radio wave, or a strong magnetic field is generated
• Locations near coasts directly subjected to sea breezes, or locations subject to corrosive gases
such as from hot springs, volcanic regions, etc.
• Locations where the temperature is not within the specified range (The ambient operating tem-
perature of the installed camera.)
• Locations subject to condensation as the result of severe changes in temperature
(In case of installing the product in such locations, the inside of camera may become foggy or
condensation may be caused in the camera.)
• Locations subject to vibrations, such as on vehicles, marine vessels, or above product lines
(This product is not designed for on-vehicle use.)
Screw tightening
• Do not use an impact driver. Use of an impact driver may damage the screws or cause tightening
excessively.
• When a screw is tightened, make the screw at a right angle to the surface. After tightening the
screws or bolts, perform checks to ensure that the tightening is sufficient enough so that there is
no movement or looseness.
Protection from lightning
When cables are used outdoors, there is a chance that they may be affected by lightning. In such a
case, install a lightning arrestor close to the camera, and make the length of the network cable
between the camera and lightning arrestor as short as possible to prevent the camera from being
damaged by lightning.
Make sure to remove this product if it will no longer be used.

②Apply waterproof treatment to the joints of the cables.
<When waterproof treatment is applied to RJ45 connector and other cables>
Adequate waterproof treatment is required for the cables when installing the camera with cables
exposed. The camera body is waterproof, but the cable ends are not waterproof. Be sure to use
the waterproof tape provided with the camera at the points where the cables are connected and
apply waterproof treatment in the following procedure. Failure to observe this or use of a tape
other than the provided waterproof tape (such as a vinyl tape) may cause water leakage resulting
in malfunction.
Separately apply waterproof treatment to the network cable and other cables as shown in the
illustration below.
IMPORTANT:
• Also waterproof the 2P power cable (provided with the camera), 4P alarm cable (provided
with the camera), and external connections in the same way.
• Stretch the tape by approx. twice (see the illustration
at right) and wind it around the cable. Insufficient
tape stretch causes insufficient waterproofing.
•
Waterproof grade (JIS IP66 or equivalent) is
applied to this product only when it is installed
correctly and also an appropriate waterproof
treatment is applied.
The inner side of WV-Q186 (mount bracket) is
not waterproofed.
• When a LAN cable cover is provided with the
camera in the package, attach the LAN cable
cover to the cable as shown in the illustration and
fix it by sliding to the direction indicated by the
arrow. The connector of the LAN cable used with
this camera must meet the following restrictions.
