We are not liable for any problems caused by unauthorized modifications or attempted repair.
5．Environment
This series network camera should be installed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight,
inflammable, explosive substances and etc.
Please keep it away from the electromagnetic radiation object and environment.
Please make sure the CCD (CMOS) component is out of the radiation of the laser beam device.
Otherwise it may result in CCD (CMOS) optical component damage.
Please keep the sound ventilation.
Do not allow the water and other liquid falling into the camera.
Thunder-proof device is recommended to be adopted to better prevent thunder.
The grounding holes of the product are recommended to be grounded to further enhance the reliability
of the camera.
6. Daily Maintenance
Please shut down the device and then unplug the power cable before you begin daily maintenance
work.

iv
Do not touch the CCD (CMOS) optic component. You can use the blower to clean the dust on the lens
surface.
Always use the dry soft cloth to clean the device. If there is too much dust, please use the water to
dilute the mild detergent first and then use it to clean the device. Finally use the dry cloth to clean the
device.
Please put the dustproof cap to protect the CCD (CMOS) component when you do not use the camera.
Dome enclosure is the optical component, do not touch the enclosure when you are installing the
device or clean the enclosure when you are doing maintenance work. Please use professional optical
clean method to clean the enclosure. Improper enclosure clean method (such as use cloth) may result

1General Introduction
1.1 Overview
This series network camera integrates the traditional camera and network video technology. It adopts
audio and video data collection, transmission together. It can connect to the network directly without any
auxiliary device.
This series network camera uses standard H.264 video compression technology and G.711a audio
compression technology, which maximally guarantee the audio and video quality.
This series network camera enclosure has the strong resistance capacity, which can guarantee the
proper work performance under heavy strike. It supports real-time monitor and listening at the same time.
It supports analog video output and dual-way bidirectional talk.
It can be used alone or used in a network area. When it is used lonely, you can connect it to the network
and then use a network client-end. Due to its multiple functions and various uses, this series network
camera is widely used in many environments such office, bank, road monitor and etc.
