Precautions

NOTICE
Avoid dust on the sensor.
The camera is shipped with a protective plastic seal on the lens mount. To avoid collecting dust
on the camera's IR cut filter (color cameras) or sensor (mono cameras), make sure that you
always put the protective seal in place when there is no lens mounted on the camera.
NOTICE
On all cameras, the lens thread length is limited.
All cameras (mono and color) are equipped with a plastic filter holder located in the lens mount.
The location of the filter holder limits the length of the threads on any lens you use with the
camera. If a lens with a very long thread length is used, the filter holder or the lens mount will be
damaged or destroyed and the camera will no longer operate properly.
For more specific information about the lens thread length, see Section 1.4.2 on
NOTICE
Voltage outside of the specified range can cause damage.
1. If you are supplying camera power via Power over Ethernet (PoE), the power must comply
with the IEEE 802.3af specification.
2. If you are supplying camera power via the camera's 6-pin connector and the voltage of the
power is greater than +13.2 VDC, damage to the camera can result. If the voltage is less
than +11.3 VDC, the camera may operate erratically.
NOTICE
An incorrect plug can damage the 6-pin connector.
The plug on the cable that you attach to the camera's 6-pin connector must have 6 female pins.
Using a plug designed for a smaller or a larger number of pins can damage the
connector.
