Regulatory Information

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device

must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with
minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.

The availability of some specific channels and/or operational frequency bands are
country dependent and are firmware programmed at the factory to match the
intended destination. The firmware setting is not accessible by the end user.

Industry Canada statement:

Ce dispositif est conforme à la norme CNR-210 d'Industrie Canada applicable aux appareils
radio exempts de licence. Son fonctionnement est sujet aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) le
dispositif ne doit pas produire de brouillage préjudiciable, et (2) ce dispositif doit accepter tout

brouillage reçu, y compris un brouillage susceptible de provoquer un fonctionnement
indésirable.

NOTE IMPORTANTE: (Pour l'utilisation de dispositifs mobiles)

Déclaration d'exposition aux radiations:
Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d'exposition aux rayonnements IC établies pour un
environnement non contrôlé. Cet équipement doit être installé et utilisé avec un minimum de

20 cm de distance entre la source de rayonnement et votre corps.

Avertissement:

Le dispositif fonctionnant dans la bande 5150-5250 MHz est réservé uniquement pour une

utilisation à l'intérieur afin de réduire les risques de brouillage préjudiciable aux systèmes de
satellites mobiles utilisant les mêmes canaux.

Les utilisateurs de radars de haute puissance sont désignés utilisateurs principaux (c.-à-d.,
qu'ils ont la priorité) pour les bandes 5250-5350 MHz et 5650-5850 MHz et que ces radars

3

pourraient causer du brouillage et/ou des dommages aux dispositifs LAN-EL.

Conformement a la reglementation d'Industrie Canada, le present emetteur radio peut
fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inferieur) approuve pour
l'emetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de reduire les risques de brouillage
radioelectrique a l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain
de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnee equivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne depasse pas l'intensite
necessaire a l'etablissement d'une communication satisfaisante.

Le present emetteur radio (IC: 9219A-WMDR129N)a ete approuve par Industrie Canada pour
fonctionner avec les types d'antenne enumeres ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible
maximal et l'impedance requise pour chaque type d'antenne. Les types d'antenne non inclus
dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est superieur au gain maximal indique, sont strictement
interdits pour l'exploitation de l'emetteur.

Ce dispositif a ete concu pour fonctionner avec une antenne ayant un gain maximal de dB
[2.02]. Une antenne a gain plus eleve est strictement interdite par les reglements d'Industrie
Canada. L'impedance d'antenne requise est de 50 ohms.

Cet appareil est conçu uniquement pour les intégrateurs OEM dans les conditions suivantes:

(Pour utilisation de dispositif module)

1) L'antenne doit être installée de telle sorte qu'une distance de 20 cm est respectée entre
l'antenne et les utilisateurs, et

2) Le module émetteur peut ne pas être coïmplanté avec un autre émetteur ou antenne,

3) Pour tous les produits vendus au Canada, OEM doit limiter les fréquences de
fonctionnement CH1 à CH11 pour bandes de fréquences 2.4G grâce aux outils de
microprogrammation fournis. OEM ne doit pas fournir d'outil ou d'informations à l'utilisateur
final en ce qui concerne le changement de réglementation de domaine.

Tant que les 3 conditions ci-dessus sont remplies, des essais supplémentaires sur
l'émetteur ne seront pas nécessaires. Toutefois, l'intégrateur OEM est toujours responsable
des essais sur son produit final pour toutes exigences de conformité supplémentaires

requis pour ce module installé.

NOTE IMPORTANTE:

4

Dans le cas où ces conditions ne peuvent être satisfaites (par exemple pour certaines

configurations d'ordinateur portable ou de certaines co-localisation avec un autre

émetteur), l'autorisation du Canada n'est plus considéré comme valide et l'ID IC ne peut

pas être utilisé sur le produit final. Dans ces circonstances, l'intégrateur OEM sera chargé

de réévaluer le produit final (y compris l'émetteur) et l'obtention d'une autorisation

distincte au Canada.

Plaque signalétique du produit final

Ce module émetteur est autorisé uniquement pour une utilisation dans un dispositif où
l'antenne peut être installée de telle sorte qu'une distance de 20cm peut être maintenue
entre l'antenne et les utilisateurs. Le produit final doit être étiqueté dans un endroit visible

avec l'inscription suivante: "Contient des IC: 9219A-WMDR129N.

Manuel d'information à l'utilisateur final
L'intégrateur OEM doit être conscient de ne pas fournir des informations à l'utilisateur final
quant à la façon d'installer ou de supprimer ce module RF dans le manuel de l'utilisateur du

produit final qui intègre ce module.

Le manuel de l'utilisateur final doit inclure toutes les informations réglementaires requises

et avertissements comme indiqué dans ce manuel.

Chapter 2 - Bullet Series Network Camera
Overview

The Brickcom Bullet Series is a Bullet network camera. It adopts a megapixel sensor
which allows the camera to deliver extremely clear and detailed images that CCTV
cameras cannot offer. To optimize use of the megapixel resolution, the Bullet Series
uses efficient H.264/ MJPEG/ MPEG-4 codec compression to deliver dual configurable
video streams simultaneously at up to 30 fps. These features make the Bullet Series
the perfect outdoor camera for neighborhood, school campus, and parking lot
surveillance.

The Bullet Series has many user friendly features, such as support for DC12V power
supply, and Power over Ethernet which enables the camera to use the same cable for
power and data transmission, eliminating the need to install an external power supply.

With an IP66 certified outdoor enclosure, the Bullet Series is not only water proof, but
also dust proof.
