This product is an indoor camera. It is not designed
for outdoor use.
This product is designed for use in a hanging con-
figuration only. Using it in an upright or inclined
configuration can cause malfunction and shorten
the life of the camera.
Install this product in a horizontal configuration,
with the dome pointed downwards.
Avoid installing this product in the following loca-
tions.
• Areas directly exposed to rain and water
• Near a swimming pool or other areas where
chemicals are used
• Food preparation areas and other locations where
there are large amounts of steam vapour and oil, in
fl ammable atmospheres, other special environments
• Areas where radiation, X-rays, strong electric waves,
or magnetism is generated
• At sea, in coastal areas, or in areas where corrosive
gas is being generated
• Areas outside of the allowable ambient operating
temperature range (-10 °C to +50 °C)
• In a motor vehicle, on a boat, or other areas subject
to strong vibration (This camera is not designed for
use in a vehicle.)
• Near an air conditioner outlet, near a door that
opens up to the outdoors, or any other area
subjected to temperature extremes (Such conditions
can cause clouding and condensation formation on
the dome cover.)
When wiring this product, its cables (power, video
output, RS485, alarm in, alarm out) can exit out the
side or the top of this product.
• When using the top cable exit confi guration, drill a
hole in the ceiling to allow passage of the cables.
(See step 3 on page 17.)

Avoid installing this product in a place with a high
level of noise.
Installation near an air conditioner, an air cleaner, a
vending machine, or the like causes noise.
Remove the cover film from the dome section of the
dome cover after the installation is complete.
Be sure to remove this product if it is not in use.
Keep this product cable away from the lighting cable.
Conduct the power distribution work to keep a distance
of 1 m or more from the 220 V - 240 V power line. Or
conduct the electric conduit work separately.
Failure to observe this may cause noise.
Radio interference
When this product is used near TV/radio antenna,
strong electric fi eld or magnetic fi eld (near a motor or a
transformer), images may be distorted and noise sound
may be produced. In such a case, run the camera
cable through specialized steel conduit tubes.
Locally procure the screws
Screws are not supplied with this product. Prepare the
screws according to the material, structure, strength
and other factors of the mounting area and the total
weight of objects to be mounted.
Beware of high humidity.
If the camera is installed when humidity is very high,
moisture may collect in the camera and cause the dome
to become foggy. If the dome becomes foggy, remove
it when the humidity is low and eliminate the moisture
inside the camera, and then replace the dome.
