Take notice of humidity.

Install this product when the humidity is low. If this product is installed during rainfall or when there is high humidity, the inside may be exposed to moisture and the dome cover may become foggy.

Heater unit

This product is equipped with an internal heater unit for use in cold climates. The product can be used in temper- atures as low as –30 °C {–22 °F} when connected to a PoE+ hub and –50 °C {–58 °F} when connected to a 24 V AC power supply or a tested PoE injector. The heater unit turns on automatically when the temperature inside the product drops below +10 °C {50 °F}. However, in an extremely low-temperature environment below –30 °C {–22 °F}, snow and frost may not be defrosted from the dome cover. When using the product in cold climates, take notice of the ambient and internal 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, images may be less viewable.

(2)Influence by snowfall

Due to the wind that accompanies snowfall, snow may fall on the dome cover. Images may not be able to be viewed through the areas of the dome that have snow on it. (The visibility may vary depending on the amount and type of snow.)

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

Depending on the installation environment, dome cover may become dirty due to dust in the air or gas emission from vehicles. This may degrade the quality of images.
