Notes: • The DC-Iris should always be disabled while focusing the camera. This

opens the iris to its maximum, which gives the smallest depth of field and thus the best conditions for correct focusing. When the focus is set with this method it will then be maintained in any light conditions.

•Due to the dome’s refraction, the image might appear slightly out of focus once the dome has been placed. To compensate, focus on an object slightly closer than the intended area.

Accessing the camera from the Internet

Once installed, the camera is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the camera from the Internet you must configure your router/firewall to allow incoming data traffic. For security reasons this is usually done on a specific port. Please refer to the documentation for your router/firewall for further instructions.
