Dear Customer,

The following safety information and hazard notes are not only intended to protect your health but also to protect the device from damage. Please read the following points carefully:

• There are no components inside the product that require maintenance by the operator. Opening or dismantling the product invalidates the CE certification and guarantee claims/warranty.
• The product may be damaged if it is dropped, even from a low height.

Avoid the following adverse conditions during operation:

• Moisture or excess humidity
  • Extreme heat or cold
• Direct sunlight
• Dust or flammable gases, vapours or solvents
• Strong vibrations
  • Strong magnetic fields (e.g. next to machines or loudspeakers)
• The camera must not be installed on unstable surfaces.

General safety information:

• Do not leave packaging material lying around. Plastic bags, sheeting, polystyrene packaging, etc. can pose a danger to children if played with.
• The video surveillance camera contains small parts which could be swallowed and must be kept out of the reach of children for safety reasons.
• Do not insert any objects into the device through the openings.
• Only use replacement devices and accessories that are approved by the manufacturer. Do not connect any non-compatible products.
• Please pay attention to the safety information and user manuals for the other connected devices.
• Check the device for damage before putting it into operation. Do not put the device into operation if you identify any damage.
• Adhere to the normal voltage limits specified in the technical data. Higher voltages could destroy the device and pose a health risk (electric shock).

When installing the device in an existing video surveillance system, ensure that all devices have been disconnected from the mains power circuit and low-voltage circuit.

If in doubt, have a specialist technician carry out assembly, installation and connection of the device. Improper or unprofessional work on the power supply system or domestic installation puts both you and other persons at risk.

Connect the installations so that the mains power circuit and low-voltage circuit always run separately

from each other. They should not be connected at any point or become connected as a

result of a malfunction.

Two circular diagrams with concentric rings and three central circles, no text or symbols present.

Rubber seal for network cable:

Rubber seal for other cables (Audio input/output, Switching input/output):

Note for the installation of rubber seals:

First, run the cable through the rubber grommet. Since the cable is often kinked during installation, it may happen that the rubber is not fully attached to the cable. This can also occur due to too thin cable types.

Fix the cable grommet with insulating tape on the cable. This guarantees the tightness.

The rubber seal must also be completely against the outer edge of the housing leadthrough. If this is not the case due to cable kinks or other forces acting on the cable, the outer edge must be sealed with silicone.
