Important Safeguards and Warnings

Electrical Safety

• All installation and operation must conform to local electrical safety codes.

• Do not connect two power sources to the device simultaneously — this may damage the device.
• The product must be grounded to reduce risk of electric shock.
• Improper handling and/or installation risks fire or electrical shock.

Environment

• Avoid heavy stress, violent vibration, or exposure to water during transport, storage, and installation.
• Install in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources; avoid extreme temperatures.
• Do not expose the camera to electromagnetic radiation (risk of CMOS sensor failure).
• Do not block any ventilation openings, and do not allow water or liquid intrusion.

Operation and Maintenance

• Shut down the device and unplug the power cable before performing any maintenance.
• Do not touch the CMOS sensor optic — use a blower to remove dust.
• Clean the device with a dry soft cloth; if heavily soiled, use a cloth dampened with mild neutral detergent, then dry.
• Use only professional optical cleaning methods on the enclosure — improper cleaning may impair IR functionality or cause IR reflection.
• Grounding the product's grounding holes is recommended for improved reliability.

This camera must be installed and serviced by qualified personnel only. Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the warranty.
