the product. If you use any other adapter or
connect the power supply incorrectly, this may
cause explosion, fire, electric shocks or damage

firmly connected to the power socket.
Do not place containers with liquids on the

tools, screws, coins or other
metal items on the product. These may fall
from the product or can cause fire or electric
shocks or other physical injuries.
Do not push or insert any sharp items or any
objects into the device as this may cause
damage to the product, fire, electric shocks
and/or physical injuries.
Do not block any ventilation openings, if there
are any. Ensure that the product is well
ventilated to prevent any over-heating.
Do not subject the device to physical shock or
drop the product.

Installation Instructions

It is necessary to fix the device firmly if the

Do not install the product on surfaces or in
places that are vibrating.
Do not install the product near radiation
sources.
Do not install the product near heat sources,
like radiators or other equipment that produces
some heat.
If the product is not classified by any IP class,
do not install the product in very cold or hot
temperatures (please refer to the working
temperature specified in the specification sheet
of the product), dusty, dirty or damp
environment.
If the product is classified by any IP class, never
touch the product cover directly with your
fingers, because the acidic sweat of the fingers
may damage the surface coating of the product
cover. To clean the inside and outside of the
product cover, use a soft and dry cloth. In any
case, do not use alkaline detergents.
The correct configuration of all passwords and
other security settings is the sole responsibility
of the installer and/or end-user (this applies
especially to IP Cameras and Recorders).

Special Installation Instructions for Cameras

Do not touch the sensor module with your
fingers.
Do not aim the camera or camera lens at a
strong light such as the sun or a bright lamp.
Irreversible damage to the camera can be
caused by a strong light.
Do not expose the sensor of the product to
laser beams as this may damage the sensor.
If the product supports IR, you need to take
some precautions to prevent IR reflection. Do
not install the product close to reflective

surfaces of objects as this may cause reflection.
If the product has a dome cover, please remove
the protection film only after installation to
prevent dust or grease on the camera which
can cause reflection. The foam ring around the
lens must be seated flush against the inner
surface of the bubble to isolate the lens from
the IR LEDS. Fasten the dome cover to the
camera body so that the foam ring and the
dome cover are attached seamlessly.
For cleaning use a clean cloth with a bit of
ethanol and wipe it carefully and gently. In any
case do not use alkaline detergents.
If a glove is provided in the package, please use
it to open the product cover. Never touch the
product cover directly with fingers, because the

mounting are similar. The following takes the
ceiling mounting as an example to describe the
steps.

Steps:

1.1. Rotate the camera to align the notch to
one of the line showed on the camera.

1.2. Pry the mounting base by using tools, e.g. a
coin.
