Network Camera Installation - Panasonic KX-HCM230 Operating Instructions Manual

4.1 Network Camera Installation

Network Camera has a splash resistant body. The splash resistant body allows
Network Camera to be used indoors and outdoors. Outdoor Mounting needs
waterproof cabling. Please check Network Camera operation before installing
(cabling and mounting) Network Camera.
Notes
• Please install Network Camera under the eaves to protect from the direct
sunlight. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or halogen light may damage
the CMOS sensor.
• Please use Sunshade in any conditions.
• Do not install Network Camera in the location where sea breeze hit the unit
directly.
• Avoid laying Ethernet cable underground and also avoid stringing it in the air.
Lightning may cause serious damage to the Network Camera and/or the
connected devices.
• AC adaptor is not waterproofed. Please put the AC adaptor inside the outdoor
power equipment near the Network Camera and protect the AC adaptor from
the rain. Please ask the authorised electric wiring dealer.
• AC adaptor cord and Ethernet cable should be waterproofed. Please do the
waterproof electric wiring work.
• Do not place the AC adaptor in temperature -20 °C to +50 °C. AC adaptor
cannot be operated.
• Lightning can cause serious permanent damage to the Network Camera.
Please be sure that the Network Camera is grounded in accordance with local
electrical codes for your specific application.
• If the Network Camera will be used outdoors the Rubber Cap must be installed
in the CLEAR SETTING button hole. It protects the Network Camera's internal
components from moisture damage. Carefully insert the Rubber Cap into the
hole, gently pressing it into place using the end of the long tool. In order for it
to work properly it must be seated correctly and fit snug.
• If the Network Camera is positioned facing direct sunlight it is possible that a
faint "rainbow" lens flare may be visible on the image. Sunshade acts similar
to a lens shade on a 35-mm camera. In most cases the Sunshade will
minimise the rainbow lens flare. Repositioning the Network Camera so it does
not face directly in the direction of the sun can have additional improvement of
the image quality.
• If the rain water is frozen on the Lens Cover, the frozen water may make the
image blurred. Please install the Network Camera avoiding the rainfall onto the
Lens Cover where the temperature drops below the freezing point at night.
