• Make sure not to connect the power before you install the camera.
• There is great chance of damaging your camera if the camera is opened by an unqualified
service engineer or installer.
• Avoid using the camera under direct sunlight (tropical area, Middle East), or near to any
source of heat.
• Don’t merge the camera under water; always put silicon gel on antenna connector after
installation to avoid corrosion and reducing the wireless link capability.
• Avoid exposing the camera to violent movement or vibration.
• Always use the camera in a well ventilated location to prevent overheating.
• Connect proper “Relay” between load and camera, to protect camera, don’t connect load
greater than 0.5A.
• Please use power adapter equipped with the camera, foreign power adapter with wrong
voltage may permanent damage your camera.
• Wireless link distance is depend on both camera (C1212HW) and Access Point,
unbalanced transmit power won’t help extend the wireless link range.
• Clean the glass window frequently to ensure good clear view, remove the snow and ice
accumulated outside and inside of class window shield, keep camera inside dry by blow
dryer.
• Must use IEEE802.3af standard PSE for C1212H-POE
All the safety and operating instructions must be read before the unit is operated.
