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.

3.8 Notes to the usage of internal IR LEDs

[x5KW]

The IR range is strongly dependent on the environmental conditions. If the area in the camera's field of view reflects poorly or if there are no objects within the max. illumination range, the brightness of the video image at night may be too low. This will result in poor usability of the video image.In addition, when installing the camera it must be ensured that no objects are located in close proximity to the camera's field of view (e.g. roof gutter or wall). These objects can reflect back the IR light, resulting in circular fading on the video image in the opposite direction to the object.The IR range might be reduced as well by strong absorbing surfaces (e.g. asphalt).

4. Maintenance and cleaning

4.1 Function test

Regularly check the technical safety of the product, e.g. check the housing for damage.

If it appears to no longer be possible to operate the product safely, stop using it and secure it to prevent unintentional use.

It is likely that safe operation is no longer possible in the event that:

• the device shows signs of visible damage
• the device no longer works correctly
  • the device has been stored in adverse conditions for a long period of time
• the device has been exposed to stresses during transportation.

Please note:

You do not need to perform any maintenance on the product. There are no components requiring servicing or checking inside the product. Never open it.

4.2 Cleaning

Clean the product with a clean, dry cloth. The cloth can be dampened with lukewarm water to remove stubborn dirt.
