Precaution

The camera does not have a power

switch.

In order to the power off, turn the power

breaker off.

Note the following to ensure long-term

trouble-free operation.

Long operation under high temperatures

and high humidity can cause components

to deteriorate and shorten camera life.

(Less than +35°C (95°F) is recommended)

Make sure that the camera is installed in a

location where it is not directly exposed to

heat from a radiator, heater, etc.

Do not touch the dome cover with your

bare hands.

A dirty dome cover causes deterioration of

picture quality.

Handle the camera carefully.

Do not drop the camera, or subject it to

strong impact or vibration.

Doing so may cause a malfunction.

About the PC to be used

Displaying the same image on CRT type

PC monitors for a long time may damage

the monitor. We recommend using a

screen saver.

Cleaning the camera

Before cleaning the camera, turn the power

off. Not doing so may cause injury.

Do not wipe or use volatile solutions such

as benzene or paint thinner on the camera.

Doing so may discolor the case. When

using a chemically-treated cloth, read and

follow the precautions for the cloth.

In the case of stubborn dirt

Wipe with a soft cloth moistened in a weak

solution of water and neutral kitchen

detergent. Wring all excess moisture from

the cloth before wiping. Next, wipe off all

remaining solution with a soft, dry cloth.

Product Information

Check the product ID, power requirements,

and other information marked on the rear

and bottom of the product.

Refresh Interval

The refresh interval may be longer

depending on the network environment, PC

performance, photographic subject, access

traffic, etc.

Cleaning the lens

Use lens cleaning paper (like the type

available for cleaning eyeglasses or a

camera lens) to clean the lens. Alcohol-

based solvents may be used for cleaning

the lens. Do not use glass cleaners or paint

thinners.
