■In order to prevent injury, the product must be securely mounted to a wall or ceiling according to
Installation Guide.
■Installation area for this product
Select an appropriate place for the installation area (such as a strong wall or ceiling) in your particular environment.
• Make sure that the installation area is strong enough to hold this product, such as a concrete ceiling.
• Install the camera in the foundation area of the architecture or where sufficient strength is assured.
• Do not mount the product on a plaster board or a wooden section because they are too weak. If the product is
unavoidably mounted on such a section, the section shall be sufficiently reinforced.
■This camera is designed to be used indoors
This product is not operable outdoors. Do not expose this camera to direct sunlight for hours and do not install the
product near a heater or an air conditioner. Otherwise, it may cause deformation, discoloration and malfunction.
Keep this camera away from water and moisture.
■Do not place this product in the following places
• Locations where a chemical agent is used such as a swimming pool
• Locations subject to moisture or oil smoke such as a kitchen
• Locations that have a specific environment that is subject to an inflammable atmosphere or solvents
• Locations where a radiation, an X-ray, a strong radio wave or a strong magnetic field is generated
• Locations near coasts directly subjected to sea breezes, or locations subject to corrosive gases such as from hot
springs, volcanic regions, etc.
• Locations where the temperature is not within the specified range
• Locations subject to vibrations, such as on vehicles, marine vessels, or above product lines (This product is not
designed for on-vehicle use.)
•
Locations where it may get directly wet from rain or water splash (including under the eaves, etc.)
•
Locations subject to moisture or dust
•
Locations subject to sudden changes in temperature such as near air discharge vents of air conditioners or air cir-
culation inlet doors

■Screw tightening
Do not use an impact driver. Use of an impact driver may damage the screws or cause tightening excessively.
■About reflection of light from outside or IR light
A ghost may appear on the screen depending on the incident angle of external light.
In the case of using the IR light, installation of a camera near a wall may cause reflection of infrared rays resulting in
a part of the screen or the entire screen turning whitish.
• Refer to our support website <Control No.: C0109> for image examples and measures to take.
■Take notice of humidity
Install this product when the humidity is low. If installation is performed when it is raining or in very humid conditions,
the inside may be affected by humidity, causing mist-over inside the dome cover.
■Protection from lightning
When the cables brought from outdoors are used, 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 affected by lightning.
■When noise disturbance may happen
Noise may appear in video or audio near a strong electric field from a TV or radio antenna, motors and transformers,
or a strong electric field/magnetic field from a power line (lamp line) of AC100 V or more. Conduct the power distri-
bution work to keep 1 m {3-15/16 inches} away from them or conduct the electric conduit work using metal pipes.
(Be sure to make ground connection of the metal pipes.)
