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 for image examples and measures to take.

Protection from lightning
When cables are used outdoors, 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 distribution work to keep 1 m {3.28 feet} away from them or conduct the electric conduit work using metal pipes. (Be sure to make ground connection of the metal pipes.)

Make sure to remove this product if it will no longer be used.

This product has no power switch.
