Periodically images on the screen appear
to be distorted
When the camera is installed in a location
where it is subject to small vibrations (for exam-
ple, when it is installed near devices that
vibrate), images may appear distorted and
stretched lengthways. This phenomenon is a
characteristic of image pickup devices that use
CMOS sensors and is caused by the relation-
ship between the periodic movements of the
camera and the timing that the image sensor
reads images. This is not a problem with the
camera. To reduce the possibility of this phe-
nomenon occurring, install the camera in a
secure location.
We shall not be liable for content
compensation, losses of recorded or
edited content and any direct or indirect
consequent damages caused by failure to
record or edit due to faults with this unit or

About the CMOS image sensor
• When continuously shooting a bright light
source such as a spotlight, the color filter
of the CMOS image sensor may become
deteriorated and this may cause discolor-
ation. Even when changing the fixed
shooting direction after continuously
shooting a spotlight for a certain period,
the discoloration may remain.
• When shooting fast-moving subjects or
objects crossing the shooting area may
look to be bending askew.
About the built-in microphone
• If moisture attach to the peristome of builtin
microphone, the volume may decrease.
Please leave it to air dry sufficiently before
use.
• When cleaning the peristome of built-in
microphone, do not use any sharp-ended
object to stab it. Doing so may result in
failure or submerging.

Effects on images and image quality
Depending on the installation location, the
dome cover or lens may become dirty, causing
image quality to deteriorate or images may
become difficult to see.
About reflection of light from outside or
IR light
Depending on the incident angle of high inten-
sity light source such as sunlight or lighting,
images of non-existing objects (reflected light)
or reflections of surroundings on the camera
lens (ghost) may sometimes appear on the
screen. Especially in the case of LED light,
these phenomena may be seen remarkably.
In the case of using the IR light, installation of
a camera near a wall may cause reflection of
infrared rays resulting in a part of the screen
or the entire screen turning whitish. Therefore,
consider the installation place carefully.
