IMPORTANT:
You should examine whether the color of the
silica gel inside the chassis has turned red. If
so, you should replace the desiccant bag.
To replace the desiccant bags:
1. Remove the dome cover by loosening 4 T25
anti-tamper screws.
2. Replace the desiccant bags by attaching
them rmly to the inside of the chassis.
3. Re-install the dome cover.
Also note the following:
1. Do not install the camera in a raining day.
2. It takes approximately 2 days to suppress
the moisture level to 30% or lower.
3. Condensation may still be observed from on
the dome cover within 30 minutes.

1. The camera weighs 3.66kg. Select a rigid mounting location to prevent vibration to
the camera. Attach the alignment sticker to the wall.
2. Drill 4 pilot holes (10mm in diameter and 4cm deep) into the wall, and then hammer
in threaded anchors. Note that you should hammer the anchors with hex nuts on
them so that the threaded poles will not be deformed! If preferred, drill another hole
for routing cables.
3. Secure the wall mount bracket to wall using 4 sets of captive washers and nuts.
4. Align the camera with the wall mount bracket.
5. Tighten 3 included screws using a Phillips screwdriver. Make sure all parts have been
securely tightened.

Network Deployment

HD WDR Pro
1. Connect the Network Camera's Ethernet cable (CAT5e) to a PoE Plus switch. A 30W
PoE output port alone can not drive the onboard heater, and hence if using the PoE
switch alone, the application does not apply in low-temperature condition. The 30W PoE
plus can only drive the camera when it is working at a temperature higher than -5ºC.
HD WDR Pro
When using a non-PoE switch
Use a High Power PoE power injector (separately purchased) capable of 60W output to
connect between the Network Camera and a non-PoE switch. Sufcient power is required
for low temperature conditions when the onboard heater is activated.

2. Connect the power wires to an AC 24V power adaptor (user-supplied). The AC 24V
adapter can drive the camera and the onboard heater.
You can connect both power sources for redundancy in power supply.
