Precautions

1. Do not install the camera near electric or magnetic fields. Install the camera away from TV/radio transmitters, magnets, electric motors, transformers and audio speakers since the electromagnetic fields generated from these devices may distort the video image or otherwise interfere with camera operation.
2. Never disassemble the camera beyond the recommendations in this manual nor introduce materials other than those recommended herein. Improper disassembly or introduction of corrosive materials may result in equipment failure or other damage.
3. Try to avoid facing the camera toward the sun. In some circumstances, direct sunlight may cause permanent damage to the sensor and/or internal circuits, as well as creating unbalanced illumination beyond the capability of the camera to compensate.
4. Keep the power cable away from water and other liquids and never touch the power cord with wet hands. Touching a wet power cord with your hands or touching the power cord with wet hands may result in electric shock.
5. Never install the camera in areas exposed to oil, gas or solvents. Oil, gas or solvents may result in equipment failure, electric shock or, in extreme cases, fire.
6. Cleaning. For cameras with interchangeable lenses, do not touch the surface of the sensor directly with the hands. Use lens tissue or a cotton tipped applicator and ethanol to clean the sensor and the camera lens. Use a damp soft cloth to remove any dirt from the camera body. Please do not use complex solvents, corrosive or abrasive agents for cleaning of any part of the camera.
7. Do not operate the camera beyond the specified temperature, humidity or power source ratings. This camera is suitable for indoor operation only. Use the camera at temperatures within -10°C\~50°C (14°F\~112°F) and humidity less than 80%; this device is not rated as submersible. The input power source is 12VDC. Be sure to connect the proper + / - polarity and voltage, as incorrect polarity or too high a voltage will likely cause the camera to fail, and such damage is not covered by the warranty.
8. Mounting. Use care in selecting a solid mounting surface which will support the weight of the camera plus any wind, snow, ice or other loading, and securely attach the camera to the mounting surface using screws and anchors which will properly support the camera. If necessary (e.g. when mounting to drop ceilings) use a safety wire to provide additional support for the camera.
