Beforeyou begin
• Please unpack the box carefully and identify that all the parts are present.
• Do not cut the camera cables, this will void the warranty.
• Make sure you use only the recommended power supply. Damage caused to the camera by
incorrect voltage or wiring is not covered by the warranty.
The camera is suitable for indoor or outdoor use (using optional housing). Please bear in mind
the following points when choosing a mounting position.
• The camera must be positioned so that it will not point directly into the sun (sunrise and
sunset) or any bright light, as this may cause damage to the camera.
• Avoid viewing areas where half the area is in bright sunlight and the other half is dark,
such as in the shadow of a building. All types of cameras have difficulty in ‘seeing’ with
such a large lux level variation.
