Important Safeguards and Warnings

Electrical Safety

All installation and operation should conform to your local electrical safety codes.
The power source shall conform to the Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) standard, and supply power with rated voltage which conforms to Limited Power Source requirement according to IEC60950-1. Please note that the power supply requirement is subject to the device label.
Make sure the power supply is correct before operating the device.
A readily accessible disconnect device shall be incorporated in the building installation wiring.
Prevent the power cable from being trampled or pressed, especially the plug, power socket and the junction extruded from the device

Environment

Do not aim the device at strong light to focus, such as lamp light and sun light; otherwise it might cause over brightness or light marks, which are not the device malfunction, and affect the longevity of Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS).
Do not place the device in a damp or dusty environment, extremely hot or cold temperatures, or the locations with strong electromagnetic radiation or unstable lighting.
Keep the device away from any liquid to avoid damage to the internal components.
Keep the indoor device away from rain or damp to avoid fire or lightning.
Keep sound ventilation to avoid heat accumulation
Transport, use and store the device within the range of allowed humidity and temperature.
Heavy stress, violent vibration or water splash are not allowed during transportation, storage and installation.
Pack the device with standard factory packaging or the equivalent material when transporting the device.
Install the device in the location where only the professional staff with relevant knowledge of safety guards and warnings can access. The accidental injury might happen to the non-professionals who enter the installation area when the device is operating normally

Operation and Daily Maintenance

Do not touch the heat dissipation component of the device to avoid scald.
Carefully follow the instructions in the manual when performing any disassembly operation about the device; otherwise, it might cause water leakage or poor image quality due to unprofessional disassembly. Please make sure that the gasket ring is flat and properly installed in the groove before installing the cover. Please contact after-sale service for desiccant replacement if there is condensed fog on the lens after unpacking or when the desiccant turns green (Not all models are included with the desiccant).
It is recommended to use the device together with lightning arrester to improve lightning protection effect.
It is recommended to ground the device to enhance reliability.
Do not touch the image sensor (CMOS) directly. Dust and dirt could be removed with air blower, or you can wipe the lens gently with soft cloth that moistened with alcohol.
Device body can be cleaned with soft dry cloth, which can also be used to remove stubborn stains when moistened with mild detergent. To avoid possible damage on device body coating which could cause performance decrease, do not use volatile solvent such as alcohol, benzene, diluent and so on to clean the device body, nor can strong, abrasive detergent be used.
Dome cover is an optical component, do not touch or wipe the cover with your hands directly during installation or operation. For removing dust, grease or fingerprints, wipe gently with moisten oil-free cotton with diethyl or moisten soft cloth. You can also air blower to remove dust.

WARNING

Please strengthen the protection of network, device data and personal information by adopting measures which include but not limited to using strong password, modifying password regularly, upgrading firmware to the latest version, and isolating computer network. For some device with old firmware versions, the ONVIF password will not be modified automatically along with the modification of the system password, and you need to upgrade the firmware or manually update the ONVIF password.
Use standard components or accessories provided by manufacturer and make sure the device is installed and maintained by professional engineers.
The surface of the image sensor should not be exposed to laser beam radiation in an environment where a laser beam device is used.
Do not provide two or more power supply sources for the device unless otherwise specified. A failure to follow this instruction might cause damage to the device.

Cable

Cable type might vary with different devices, and the actual product shall prevail.
Waterproof all the cable joints with insulating tape and waterproof tape to avoid short circuit and water damage. For the detailed operation, see the FAQ Manual.
