WARRANTY STATEMENT
For information about Pelco’s product warranty and thereto related information, refer to www.pelco.com/warranty.
VIDEO QUALITY CAUTION
Frame Rate Notice Regarding User-Selected Options
Pelco systems are capable of providing high quality video for both live viewing and playback. However, the systems can be used in lower quality
modes, which can degrade picture quality, to allow for a slower rate of data transfer and to reduce the amount of video data stored. The picture
quality can be degraded by either lowering the resolution, reducing the picture rate, or both. A picture degraded by having a reduced resolution
may result in an image that is less clear or even indiscernible. A picture degraded by reducing the picture rate has fewer frames per second,
which can result in images that appear to jump or move more quickly than normal during playback. Lower frame rates may result in a key event
not being recorded by the system.
Judgment as to the suitability of the products for users’ purposes is solely the users’ responsibility. Users shall determine the suitability of the
products for their own intended application, picture rate and picture quality. In the event users intend to use the video for evidentiary purposes in
a judicial proceeding or otherwise, users should consult with their attorney regarding any particular requirements for such use.

for state-of-the-art surveillance solutions. There are several different form factors including in-ceiling and pendant domes with different

and a wide range of operating temperatures.
The Spectra Enhanced Series 7 dome camera is easy to install, offers flexible mounting options, and uses a standard Web browser for easy
remote setup and administration.
