is finished. If there is dust or grease on the dome cover, clean
the dome cover with clean soft cloth and isopropyl alcohol.

11

Network Mini Dome Camera·Quick Operation Guide

● Make sure that there is no reflective surface too close to the

camera lens. The IR light from the camera may reflect back into
the lens causing reflection.
