TEST MONITOR / OSD CONTROL

To test the camera with a test monitor use either the supplied Test Monitor BNC Lead or optional CE-REMOTE. The Test Monitor BNC Lead plugs into the small, 2 PIN connector (marked CN2) next to the wide 12 wire connection on the circuit board. The CE-REMOTE plugs into the DIN Port. OSD Adjustment can be made by using the OSD Joystick or the optional CE-REMOTE. Refer to OSD Manual for detailed instructions on adjusting camera settings.

ATTENTION ftorx screws aren’t fully tightened the weather resistant seal will be compromised, allowing water to leak into the camera.

PERIODIC DOME CLEANING

Over time, dome cameras will collect dirt and dust on the outside of the polycarbonate dome bubble— often resulting in blurry/out of focus images. We recommend periodically cleaning the dome to ensure optimal day and night image quality.
To clean the outside of the dome: first use compressed air to blow off any significant amounts of dirt/dust – then use warm, soapy water and a damp micro-fiber cloth towel to clean. Dry with a separate, clean micro-fiber cloth towel.
Glass cleaner, Ammonia, alcohol and/or other solvents should never be used to clean the dome. These products contain harsh chemicals that can cause corrosion and reduce optical clarity. Paper towels, shop-rags, or other rough fabric should also never be used to dry the dome as they can scratch the dome.
