Do not attempt to open the camera. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer
servicing to qualified service personnel.
When installing this camera, follow manufacturer's advice when using power tools,
steps, ladders, etc. and wear suitable protective equipment (e.g., safety goggles)
when drilling holes. Before drilling holes through a ceiling, check for hidden
electricity cables and water pipes. The use of a cable/pipe detector is advisable.
When installing cameras on an external wall, pass the power cable through the wall
as close as possible to the cameras to reduce the chance of tampering with the
cables. After drilling any hole though an external wall for cable, make sure the hole
is sealed up around the cable using a sealant.

Three important things to consider when placing your camera are:
Decide what you want to survey and how much detail you want – The camera has
a fixed lens and fixed field of view. What the camera sees is determined by where it
is placed. The closer the camera is to the action you want to see, the more detail
there will be in your images.
Protect the camera from heat and moisture – Install the camera in a sheltered
location, where it will be protected from the majority of moisture and sunlight. The
camera is weather resistant, not weatherproof. Long term exposure to moisture (rain
or condensation) or direct sunlight will have a negative impact on the camera's
performance. The power adapter and cables are not weather resistant and should not
be exposed to any moisture.
Test the system installation for interference – In much the same way that a mobile
phone loses its signal in some locations, the wireless transmitter in your camera can
have a hard time communicating with the DVR from some locations. Test the
reception from the location before permanently fixing the camera in place.
