Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

•Camera components can be damaged by static electricity. Not exercising the proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions can result in intermittent or complete component failures, and cause the camera to malfunction.

•To minimize the potential for ESD damage:

–Before you install the IP camera, touch a metal object with your hand to release any static electricity that is in your body.

–Always use an ESD-preventive antistatic wrist strap (or ankle strap) and ensure that it makes good skin contact.

–For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be between 1 and 10 megohm (Mohm).

In addition, follow these guidelines during installation:

•Handle camera unit by holding the edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards

•Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board
