Panasonic WV-S3511L Important Information Manual page 14

• Locations subject to moisture or dust
• Locations subject to sudden changes in
temperature such as near air discharge
vents of air conditioners or air circulation
inlet doors (In case of installing the product
in such locations,the dome cover may
become foggy or condensation may be
caused on the cover.)
Sulfurization caused by rubber products
Do not place the product near rubber products
(packing, rubber feet, etc.) that contain sulfur.
There is a risk that sulfur components in rubber
products may cause electrical parts and termi-
nals, etc. to become sulfurized and corrode.
Screw tightening
• The screws and bolts must be tightened
with an appropriate tightening torque
according to the material and strength of
the installation area.
• Do not use an impact driver. Use of an
impact driver may damage the screws or
cause tightening excessively.
• When a screw is tightened, make the
screw at a right angle to the surface. After
tightening the screws or bolts, perform
checks to ensure that the tightening is
sufficient enough so that there is no
movement or looseness.

Effects on images and image quality
Under the following conditions, image quality
may deteriorate or images may become diffi-
cult to see.
• When there are raindrops on the dome
cover due to wind during rainfall.
• When there is snow on the dome cover
due to wind during snowfall. (varies
depending on the amount and quality of
snowfall).
• When the dome cover is dirty due to dust
in the air or vehicle exhaust.

Effects on images and image quality
Depending on the installation location, the
dome cover or lens may become dirty, causing
image quality to deteriorate or images may
become difficult to see.

About reflection of light from outside or
IR light
Depending on the incident angle of high inten-
sity light source such as sunlight or lighting,
images of non-existing objects (reflected light)
or reflections of surroundings on the camera
lens (ghost) may sometimes appear on the
screen. Especially in the case of LED light,
these phenomena may be seen remarkably.
In the case of using the IR light, installation of
a camera near a wall may cause reflection of
infrared rays resulting in a part of the screen
or the entire screen turning whitish. Therefore,
consider the installation place carefully.

measures to take.
Protection from lightning
When cables are used outdoors, there is a
chance that they may be affected by lightning.
In such a case, install a lightning arrestor close
to the camera, and make the length of the net-
work cable between the camera and lightning
arrestor as short as possible to prevent the
camera from being damaged by lightning.
Take notice of humidity
Install this product when the humidity is low. If
installation is performed when it is raining or in
very humid conditions, the inside may be
affected by humidity, causing mist-over inside
the dome cover
When noise disturbance may happen
Conduct the power distribution work to keep a
distance of 1 m {3.28 feet} or more from the
120 V (for U.S. and Canada) or 220 V – 240 V (for
Europe and other countries) power line.
Radio disturbance
Noise may appear in video or audio near a
strong electric field from a TV or radio antenna,
motors and transformers, or a strong electric
field/magnetic field from a power line (lamp line)
of AC100 V or more.
PoE (Power over Ethernet)
Use a PoE hub/device that is compliant with
IEEE802.3af standard.
