•In a motor vehicle, on a boat, or other areas subject to strong vibration (This camera is not designed for use in a vehicle.)
•Near an air conditioner outlet or any areas subject to sudden changes in temperature. (Such conditions can cause clouding and condensation formation on the dome cover.)
■Remove the protective sheet from the dome cover after the installation work is complete.
■Wiring power to the camera
The camera does not have a power switch. During the electrical work, configure the power supply to the camera so it can be turned on and off.
■Noise interference considerations
When using a power line that is greater than 120 V AC and wiring that is longer than 1 meter, wiring should be routed using a separate metal conduit. (The metal conduit must be earth grounded.)
Important:
•Before setting up the camera for a configuration where the camera's RS485 data port is used for camera control (pan, tilt, etc.) by the system controller, the camera's DIP switches must be configured to specify the unit number and communication parameters. (page 13)
If DIP switch setting is not performed, the system controller control will not be possible and camera setup will have to be performed again. Be sure to check the DIP switch settings before setting up the camera.
Note: If you need to connect a ground, be sure to do it before you connect the main power. Also, when removing the ground, be sure to disconnect the main power.
■Beware of high humidity.
If the camera is installed when humidity is very high, moisture may collect in the camera and cause the dome to become foggy. If the dome becomes foggy, remove it when the humidity is low and eliminate the moisture inside the camera, and then replace the dome. (page 6, 7)

■About effects on image quality
The camera does not have a wiper. If the camera is installed in the following conditions image quality may deteriorate or the image may be invisible.
(1)In the rain
The picture may be hard to see if the wind blows rain onto the dome cover while it is raining.
(2)In the snow
When it snows, snow may collect on the dome cover and block some of the picture. (The amount of snow that collects on the dome cover depends on the quality and amount of the snow.)
(3)Effects of dust and automobile exhaust
Airborne dust and automobile exhaust, from the location where the camera is installed, may cause dirt to build up on the dome cover and reduce the quality of the picture.

•There is a limit to the number of devices that can be put together in one configuration. Check the ratings and outer dimensions before hooking up the devices.
