1. In order to ensure IP66 waterproof level, please install the vandal dome

according to the instructions.

a. The unused cable outlet hole must be closed, and the waterproof connector on the

used hole must be locked closely.

b. We recommend the bottom of housing be set on the smooth flat and closely seal with the

surface.

c. When you mount the camera housing on the ceiling or wall, please use the screws with the black

rubber o-rings. Without the o-ring, the water may seep into the machine.

d. Turn and loose the control stick, shift right and left to adjust the vari-focal lens until the image

becomes clear, then turn and tighten the stick to fix it.

e. Use the 3-Axis bracket to adjust the camera to an appropriate angle.

f. Before you close the dome cover, make sure that the black rubber band sticks to the inside of the

cover completely. Crooked or uneven rubber band may cause the

waterproof defective.

g. Lock tightly the screws on the dome cover to ensure there's no gap between the lid and

base.

1. When you connect cables to machine, we advise to use a hose to include all the

cables inside instead of plugging in several cables separately, because water may seep down the gap of cables into machine. You can also seal the connector hole with silicone after installation.

2. PoE (Power over Ethernet)

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that integrates power into a standard LAN infrastructure. It enables power to be provided to the network device, such as an IP phone or a network camera, using the same cable as that is used for network connection. It eliminates the need for power outlets at the camera locations and enables easier application for uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to ensure 24 hours a day, 7 days a week operation.
