Final Setup

removal of Dome Bubble
In order to initially focus your view, the dome cover will first need to be removed.
Use the included allen key to unscrew the 4 vandal-proof screws on the top of
the SASC. Be careful not to hit the acrylic dome with the allen key, screws or
other hard objects. Also be careful not to lose the non standard Vandal-proof
allen key.
Carefully lift the dome cover directly upwards from the base and place in a safe
location.
Remove the lens cap. Be careful not to touch the lens to avoid having to clean it.
