Do not expose the camera to rain or
moisture, or try to operate in wet areas.
The camera is designed to be operated indoors
only. If the camera becomes wet, turn the power
off immediately and ask a qualified service
technical to check it before turning the power on
again. Moisture can damage the camera and
also create the danger of electric shock.
Clean the CCD faceplate with care. Do not
clean the CCD with strong or abrasive detergents
or touch it with your fingers. Use lens tissue or a
cotton tipped applicator and ethanol.
Never point the camera towards the
sun. Whether the camera is in use or not, never
aim the CCD at the sun or other very bright
objects (laser light). This can damage the CCD
element and create white dots on the monitor, a
sign that CCD pixels are destroyed.
Operate the camera only within the
specified temperature, power source
and humidity ratings. Using the camera
beyond the specified ranges can reduce the
service of the camera or lead to malfunction.
Greatly exceeding the ratings can cause a
sudden and lasting malfunction of the camera.
All operating ranges can be found in the
technical data. Observe the correct camera
model.
Handle the camera with care. Do not
abuse the camera. Avoid striking, shaking, etc.
Mount the camera in a shake-free area. The
camera could be damaged by improper
handling, storage or transport.
5. Installation instructions
If you wish to use the camera for outdoor
surveillance, ensure that it is installed in an
outdoor housing. The housing needs to be
equipped with a heater. It should also protect the
camera from direct sunlight and moisture.
Unstable ambient light conditions especially can
be handled more professionally with auto-iris
lenses than with manual or fixed lenses.
