If the product does not work properly, please contact your dealer or the nearest service center. Never attempt to disassemble the camera yourself. (We shall not assume any responsibility for problems caused by unauthorized repair or maintenance.)
Cautions:
Make sure the power supply voltage is correct before using the camera. Do not drop the camera or subject it to physical shock. Do not touch sensor modules with fingers. If cleaning is necessary, use a clean
cloth with a bit of ethanol and wipe it gently. If the camera will not be used for an extended period of time, put on the lens cap to protect the sensor from dirt. Do not aim the camera lens at the strong light such as sun or incandescent lamp. The strong light can cause fatal damage to the camera. The sensor may be burned out by a laser beam, so when any laser equipment is being used, make sure that the surface of the sensor not be exposed to the laser beam. Do not place the camera in extremely hot, cold temperatures (the operating temperature should be between -10°C ~ 40°C), dusty or damp environment, and do not expose it to high electromagnetic radiation. To avoid heat accumulation, good ventilation is required for a proper operating environment. Keep the camera away from water and any liquid. While shipping, the camera should be packed in its original packing. Improper use or replacement of the battery may result in hazard of explosion. Please use the manufacturer recommended battery type. Notes: For the camera supports IR, you are required to pay attention to the following precautions to prevent IR reflection: Dust or grease on the dome cover will cause IR reflection. Please do not remove
8

User Manual of Network Fisheye Camera the dome cover film until the installation is finished. If there is dust or grease on the dome cover, clean the dome cover with clean soft cloth and isopropyl alcohol. Make certain the installation location does not have reflective surfaces of objects too close to the camera. The IR light from the camera may reflect back into the lens causing reflection. The foam ring around the lens must be seated flush against the inner surface of the bubble to isolate the lens from the IR LEDS. Fasten the dome cover to camera body so that the foam ring and the dome cover are attached seamlessly.
