For an outdoor installation you must obtain the Surface Mount
Adapter (VEZ-A2-JC or VEZ-A2-JW) and the gaskets and O-rings
supplied with an AutoDome Junior Outdoor Camera to ensure a
water-tight environment inside the unit and to maintain an IP
Environmental Protection Rating. Refer to

Section 4.1.3 Preparing the Surface Mount for an Outdoor
Installation, page 26, to start an outdoor installation.

NOTICE!

The image sensors in modern cameras are highly sensitive and
require special care for proper performance and extended
lifetime. Follow the guidelines for optimum results with your
camera:
– Do not expose to direct sunlight or bright spotlights in

operating and nonoperating conditions.

– Avoid bright lights in the field of view of the camera. Bright

lights cause a “smearing” effect, which is visible as white
lines above and below the highlight. Prolonged exposure to
bright lights may cause bleaching of the sensor's color
filters. This will be visible as colored spots in the picture
and is irreversible.
