Waterproofing

The camera is designed to be waterproof. However, you need to protect the connectors from water damage. For example, you can tape the junction points of the connectors while you connect the cables or purchase a weatherproof cable/power cord protector.

Vandal Dome Installation Tips

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 firmly locked.

b. We recommend the bottom of housing be set and firmly sealed on a smooth flat

surface.

c. When mounting the camera housing on a ceiling or wall, please use the screws with

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

e. Before closing the dome cover, make sure that the black rubber band sticks to the

inside of the cover completely. If the rubber band is crooked or uneven, it may cause the camera to no longer be waterproof.

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

and the base.

Note: When connecting cables into machine, it is recommended to use a hose to include all the cables inside instead of plugging in several cables separately. Water may seep through a gap from bundled cables. You can also seal the connector hole with silicone after installation.

d. Turn and loosen 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.
