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. -
Remove the protective film between the dome and the camera module.
-
Remove the Poron Ring before placing the dome back on the camera. When attaching the dome back, align the line on the dome with the one on base of the camera.
