Avoid installing in the following locations.

Locations where it may get wet from rain or water splash

Locations where a chemical agent is used such as a swimming pool

Locations subject to steam and oil smoke such as a kitchen

Locations near flammable gas or vapor

Locations where radiation or x-ray emis- sions are produced

Locations where it may be damaged by briny air such as seashores

Locations where the temperature is not between –10°C - +50°C

Locations subject to vibrations (This product is not designed for on-vehicle use.)

Locations subject to condensation as the result of severe changes in temperature

Be sure to remove this product if it is not in use.

Before starting installation

Use the camera mount bracket shown on page 23 to mount the camera.

When installing the camera and the cam- era mount bracket on a ceiling/wall, use the screws listed on page 22. Screws are not provided with this product. Prepare them after considering the total weight, the material and strength of the area where the camera is to be installed.

The installing place shall be sufficiently reinforced and anchors/screws to be used shall be strong enough for the installation.

Do not install the camera on a plaster board or on a wood board since they don’t have enough strength for installa- tion.

When tightening fixing screws

Firmly tighten screws that are suited to fix with the material and strength of the area where the camera is to be installed.

Do not use a powered screw driver. Otherwise, it may damage the camera.

Tighten screws firmly. After tightening screws, check with eyes if the camera is fixed firmly.

Safety wire

When using a locally procured safety wire to prevent the camera from dropping, deter- mine the installing place after considering possibilities of injury that may be caused by the camera mount bracket if it is damaged. When using a safety wire, adjust the length to stretch the wire with tension.

Adjustment of the tilting angle

Before adjusting the tilting angle of the cam- era, make sure that the screws of the camera mount bracket are loosened. Failure to do so may damage both the camera and the cam- era mount bracket. Tighten the screws firmly after adjusting the tilting angle of the camera.

Radio disturbance

When this product is used near a TV/radio antenna, or a strong electric field or magnetic field (such as near a motor, a transformer or power lines), images may be distorted and noise may be caused.

PoE (Power over Ethernet)

Use a PoE hub/device that is compliant with IEEE802.3af standard.
