SW395 . The heater unit turns on automatically when the temperature inside the product drops below +10 °C {50 °F}. However, in an extremely low-temperature envi- ronment below –30 °C {–22 °F}, snow and frost may not be defrosted from the dome cover. When using the prod- uct in cold climates, take notice of the ambient and inter- nal temperatures of the product.

When this product is installed and operated in low tem- peratures below –10 °C {14 °F}, normal images may not be obtained immediately after startup. In such a case, wait around 2 hours or more, and turn on the power again.

Influence on images and their quality

This product has no wiper unit. Under the following condi- tions, image quality may deteriorate or images may not be viewed properly.

(1)Influence by rainfall

Due to the wind that accompanies rainfall, raindrops may fall on the dome cover. That may make images less viewable.

(2)Influence by snowfall

Due to the wind that accompanies snowfall, snow may fall on the dome cover. That may partially make surveillance images inviewable. (The extent of inview- ability may vary depending on the amount of snowfall and the quality of snow.)

(3)Influence by dust in the air or gas emission from vehi- cles

Depending on the installation environment, dome cover may be dirty due to dust in the air or gas emis- sion from vehicles. That may degrade the quality of images.
