Screw tightening

• Do not use an impact driver. Use of an impact driver may damage the screws or cause tightening excessively.

• When a screw is tightened, make the screw at a right angle to the surface. After tightening the screws or bolts, perform checks to ensure that the tightening is sufficient enough so that there is no movement or looseness.

Protection from lightning

When cables are used outdoors, there is a chance that they may be affected by lightning. In such a case, install a lightning arrestor close to the camera, and make the length of the network cable between the camera and lightning arrestor as short as possible to prevent the camera from being damaged by lightning.

Make sure to remove this product if it will no longer be used.

* For information on cable connection,

please refer to the relevant camera usage instructions.

② Apply waterproof treatment to the joints of the cables.

Adequate waterproof treatment is required for the cables when installing the camera with cables

Be sure to use the waterproof tape provided with the camera at the points where the cables are connected and apply waterproof treatment in the following procedure. Failure to observe this or use of a tape other than the provided waterproof tape (such as a vinyl tape) may cause water leakage resulting in malfunction.

Separately apply waterproof treatment to the network cable and other cables as shown in the

illustration below.
