Product Precautions
Handle the camera with care. Do not abuse the camera. Avoid striking or shaking it. Improper handling or storage
could damage the camera.
Do not pull or damage the camera cable.
During camera use, do not wrap the unit in any material. This will cause the internal temperature of the unit to
increase.
Do not expose the camera to moisture, or do not try to operate it in wet areas.
Do not operate the camera beyond its temperature, humidity and power source ratings.
While the camera is not being used, keep the lens or lens cap on the camera to prevent dust or contamination from
getting in the CCD or filter area and scratching or damaging this area.
Do not keep the camera under the following conditions:
In wet, moist, and high humidity areas
Under hot direct sunlight
In high temperature areas
Near an object that releases a strong magnetic or electric field
Areas with strong vibrations
Apply the power that satisfies the requirements specified in this document to the camera.
Use a soft cloth to clean the camera. Use pressured air spray to clean the surface of the glass. DO not scratch the
surface of the glass.
The camera is a general-purpose electronic device; using the camera for the equipment that may threaten human life
or cause dangers to human bodies directly in case of failure or malfunction of the camera is not guaranteed. Use the
camera for special purposes at your own risk.
Product Warranty
Product Warranty Period
We set one year warranty period on the products at the date of delivery (In the case of normal circumstances).
We do not cover the warranty under below circumstances.
Failure caused by use of mishandle, illegal repairs and conversions
Failure caused by external shocks such as descendant.
Failure caused by fire/earthquake/lightning and other natural disasters and abnormal voltage.
Warranty Coverage
We change the product or do repair for the defected camera in case of the failure is occurred by our company,
And a warranty is limited for the single supply of delivered goods, but does not include failures caused by other
delivered goods (without cameras or parts of cameras).
