STEP 1 – PREPARING TO MOUNT THE CAMERA
-
The mounting surface must withstand five times the weight of your camera.
-
Do not let the cables get caught in improper places or the electric line cover can be damaged. This may cause a short or fire.
-
Install the moisture packet in the base of the camera’s lens.
a. Remove the moisture absorber from the packaging.
b. Cut the card and folder along the dotted line.
c. Place the moisture absorber behind the camera’s lens module. See drawing for more information.
*Please cut the card type
absorber along a dotted line, overlap and attach them according to the
direction of the arrow.
NOTE:
The camera will generate enough heat to dry moisture during operation. In most
cases it will not need the moisture absorber for more than the first day. In
cases where the camera can experience a moisture issue, users must keep the
moisture absorber in the camera.
The moisture absorber has an approximately 6-month life cycle, varying depending on the environment.
WARNING: It is highly recommended that you install the moisture absorber
when mounting the camera. The moisture absorber prevents moisture from being
captured inside the camera’s housing, which may cause image performance issues
and damage the camera. -
