• Ventilation: Ensure that the location planned for the installation of the camera is well ventilated.

• Temperature: Do not operate the camera beyond the specified temperature, humidity or power source ratings. The operating temperature of the indoor camera is between 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F) and that of the outdoor camera is between -30°C to 50°C (-22°F to 122°F). Humidity is below 90%.

• Moisture: Do not expose the indoor camera to rain or moisture, or try to operate it in wet areas. The indoor camera is designed for indoor use or locations only where it is protected from rain and moisture. Turn the power off immediately if the camera is wet and ask a qualified service person for servicing. Moisture can damage the camera and also create the danger of electric shock.

• Cleaning: Clean only with a dry cloth. If the dirt is difficult to remove, use a mild detergent and wipe gently.

• Protect from strong light: Never face the camera towards the sun. Do not aim the camera at bright objects. Whether the camera is in use or not, never aim it at the sun or other extremely bright objects. Otherwise, the camera may be smeared or damaged.

• Servicing: Do not attempt to service this unit yourself. Any attempt to dismantle or remove the covers from this product will invalidate the warranty and may also result in serious injury. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
