may cause personal injury.
5. Securely plug the power cord into the power receptacle. Insecure
connection may cause fire.
6. Do not place conductive objects (e.g. screwdrivers, coins, metal parts, etc.)
or containers filled with water on top of the camera. Doing so may cause
personal injury due to fire, electric shock, or falling objects.
7. Do not install the unit in humid, dusty, or sooty locations. Doing so may
cause fire or electric shock.
8. If any unusual smells or smoke come from the unit, stop using the product.
In such case, immediately disconnect the power source and contact the
service center. Continued use in such a condition may cause fire or electric
shock.
9. If this product fails to operate normally, contact the nearest service center.

10. When cleaning, do not spray water directly onto parts of the product. Doing
so may cause fire or electric shock.
11. Do not expose the product to the direct airflow from an air conditioner.
Otherwise, it may cause moisture condensation inside the Clear Dome due
to temperature difference between internal and external of the dome
camera.
12. If you install this product in a low-temp area such as inside a cold store,
you must seal up the wiring pipe with silicon, so that the external air can not
flow inside the housing. Otherwise, external high, humid air may flow inside
the housing, pooling moisture or vapor inside the product due to a difference
between internal and external temperature.

4
CAUTION
1. Do not drop objects on the product or apply strong blows to it. Keep away
from a location subject to excessive vibration or magnetic interference.
2. Do not install in a location subject to high temperature (over 60℃), low
temperature (below -10℃), or high humidity. Doing so may cause fire or
electric shock.
3. If you want to relocate the already installed product, be sure to turn off the
power and then move or reinstall it.
4. Remove the power plug from the outlet when there is a lighting storm.
Neglecting to do so may cause fire or damage to the product.
5. Keep out of direct sunlight and heat radiation sources. It may cause fire.
6. Install it in a place with good ventilation.
7. Avoid aiming the camera directly towards extremely bright objects such as
sun, as this may damage the CMOS image sensor.
8. Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled
with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
9. The Mains plug is used as a disconnect device and shall stay readily
operable at any time.
10. When using the camera outdoors, moisture may occur inside the camera
due to temperature difference between indoors and outdoors. For this
reason, it is recommended to install the camera indoors. For outdoor use,
use the camera with built-in fan and heater.
