Network security
As you will use this unit connected to a network, your attention is called to the following security
risks.
A Leakage or theft of information through this unit
B Use of this unit for illegal operations by persons with malicious intent
C Interference with or stoppage of this unit by persons with malicious intent
It is your responsibility to take precautions such as those described below to protect yourself
against the above network security risks.
• Use this unit in a network secured by a firewall, etc.
• If this unit is connected to a network that includes PCs, make sure that the system is not
infected by computer viruses or other malicious entities (using a regularly updated anti-virus
program, anti-spyware program, etc.).
• To prevent unauthorized access, use user-authentication, set user names and passwords, and
limit which users can log in.
• Apply measures such as user authentication to protect your network against leakage or theft of
information, including image data, authentication information (user names and passwords),
alarm mail information, FTP server information and DDNS server information.
• After the unit is accessed by the administrator, make sure to close the browser.
• Change the administrator password periodically. Additionally, save user authentication
information (user names and passwords) in such a way that it is kept out of the hands of third
parties.
• Do not install the camera in locations where the camera or the cables can be destroyed or
damaged by persons with malicious intent.

Precautions for use
When the product is accessible from the
Internet
To prevent unauthorized access, note the following.
• Leave user authentication turned on.
• Periodically change passwords that are used
to access the product.
Refer to the Operating Instructions for
information about how to change passwords.
To keep on using with stable performance
Do not use this product in hot and humid conditions
for a long time. Failure to observe this causes
component degradation resulting in life shortening
of this product. Do not expose this product to direct
heat sources such as a heater.
Make sure that the product does not become
wet.
Keep this camera away from water and moisture.
Usage such as switching the power ON/OFF
frequently could lead to failure of the camera.
Handle this product with care.
Do not drop this product, nor apply shock or
vibration to the product. Failure to observe this
may cause trouble.
Do not directly touch the lens.
A dirty lens causes deterioration of picture quality.
When an error is detected, this product will
restart automatically.
This product will be inoperable for around 2
minutes after the restart just as when the power is
turned on.
About the automatic status detection
function
When this product malfunctions due to
exogenous noise, etc. for 30 seconds or more,
the product will automatically reset and will return
to normal state. When the product is reset,
initialization will be carried out as when the power
of the product is turned on. When the product
repeatedly resets, exogenous noise level around
the product may be high and that may cause
malfunction. Contact your dealer for instructions.
Periodically images on the screen appear to
be distorted
When the camera is installed in a location where
it is subject to small vibrations (for example, when
it is installed near devices that vibrate), images
may appear distorted and stretched lengthways.
This phenomenon is a characteristic of image
pickup devices that use CMOS sensors and is
caused by the relationship between the periodic
movements of the camera and the timing that the
image sensor reads images. This is not a problem
with the camera. To reduce the possibility of this
phenomenon occurring, install the camera in a
secure location.
We shall not be liable for content
compensation, losses of recorded or
edited content and any direct or indirect
consequent damages caused by failure to
record or edit due to faults with this unit or
the SD memory card. In addition, the same
provisions apply after unit is reparied.
About the CMOS image sensor
• When continuously shooting a bright
light source such as a spotlight, the color
filter of the CMOS image sensor may
become deteriorated and this may cause
discoloration. Even when changing the
fixed shooting direction after continuously
shooting a spotlight for a certain period, the
discoloration may remain.
• When shooting fast-moving subjects or
objects crossing the shooting area may look
to be bending askew.
Cleaning this product body
Be sure to turn off the power before cleaning.
Failure to observe this may cause injury.
Do not use benzine, thinner, alcohol, or any other
types of solvents or detergents. Otherwise, it may
cause discoloration. When using a chemical cloth
for cleaning, read the caution provided with the
chemical cloth product.
• Do not loozen or remove screws unless
instructed to do so in the product
documentation.
