Safety Instructions

Installation and removal of the unit and its accessories must be carried out by qualified personnel. You must read all of the safety instructions before installation and operation.

2.1 Precautions

• Use a power adapter or a PoE device that meets the requirements. Otherwise, the device may be damaged.
• Be careful not to blur, scratch, damage the dome cover or leave fingerprints on it because this could decrease image quality. Keep the protective film on the dome cover until installation is complete.
• Make sure the length of the power cable between the power adapter and the camera is not too long, otherwise the voltage of the camera is lowered, causing the camera to work abnormally. If it is required to lengthen the power cable, lengthen the cable between the power adapter and the mains.
• Do not overbend the cables during the installation, otherwise, poor cable contact may cause malfunction.
• When connecting to an external interface, use an existing connection terminal, and ensure that the cable terminal (latch or clamp) is in good condition and properly fastened. Ensure that the cable is not tense during mounting, with a proper margin reserved to avoid poor port contact or loosening caused by shock or shake.
• During transportation, special attention is required to protect the transparent dome cover from friction, scratch, stain, etc. Do not remove the protective film from the cover until the mounting is finished. Remove the protective film before powering on the device.
• Make sure the wall or ceiling is strong enough to support the weight of the camera. If dust falls during mounting, take off the dome cover and keep it away from dust. Install the dome cover after the base is installed.
• Contact professionals for maintenance information. Do not attempt to dismantle the device by yourself. We shall not assume any responsibility for problems caused by unauthorized repair or maintenance.

2.2 Maintenance

• If there is dust on the front glass surface, remove the dust gently using an oil-free brush or a rubber dust-blowing ball.
• If there is grease or a dust stain on the front glass surface, clean the glass surface gently from the center outward using anti-static gloves or an oil-free cloth. If the grease or the stain still remains, use anti-static gloves or an oil-free cloth dipped with detergent and clean the glass surface gently until it is clean.
• Do not use organic solvents (such as benzene and alcohol) to clean the transparent dome cover.

4.1 (Optional) Insert Micro SD Card

Insert an SD card into the slot to use the local storage function. For detailed specifications of recommended SD cards, contact your dealer or technical support. Hot plugging is not recommended.

4.2 Ceiling Mount
You can adopt a wall mount or pendant mount and purchase hardware accessories separately. The following part takes the wall mount as an example. The pendant mount is similar to the wall mount and therefore is omitted here.

1. Locate the positions of the holes. Paste installation positioning stickers on the ceiling and lead the cables through the hole on the wall.
   

2. Drill holes on the wall. Use a Ø 6-6.5mm drill bit to drill 30 mm-depth guide holes according to the positions marked by stickers.
   

3. Mount the plastic rivets of self-tapping screws. Knock the plastic rivets into the guide holes and ensure that they are tightened up.
   

4. Mount the camera. Connect all cables of the ceiling and the camera, lead self-tapping screws through the guide holes in the camera base, and fix the camera on the ceiling
   by using a screwdriver.
   

5. Adjust the monitoring direction of the lens (tighten screws after vertically adjusting the lens). The lens can horizontally turn by rotating the lens base, as shown by 1 in the following figure. After loosening the fastening screws, you can vertically turn the lens, as shown by **2** in the following figure.
   

6. Attach the lining and lock it into the buckle on the base. The following shows the installation instructions of cameras 2-Axis and 3-Axis. The linings are different. Please see the actual products for the differences.
   2-Axis:3-Axis:
   For 3-Axis, after adjusting the lens horizontally and vertically (see step 5), you can also rotate the lens clockwise or counterclockwise to get the desired monitoring direction. Please stop rotating the camera when the lens is blocked, otherwise, the camera lens might be damaged.
   

7. Mount the transparent dome housing.

(1) Align the screw holes in the base, and tighten the two cross-recessed Panhead screws on the edge of the transparent dome housing to fix it, as shown by **1**in the following
figure.
(2) Align the grooves (non-tail cable grooves) of the transparent dome housing to the buckle of the base, and push up the dome housing to fix it, as shown by **2** in the following figure.
NOTE!

• The preceding installation process is concealed installation, during which holes are drilled in the ceiling and the tail cable is led out from the top of the camera. Cables are connected and frapped at the ceiling side to prevent messy cables from affecting camera mounting. If the open installation is adopted, the tail cable is led out from one side of the camera and can be routed from the side groove of the camera.
• After mounting the dome housing, check that the two cross-recessed pan-head screws on the edge of the dome housing are tightened up to ensure that the camera is properly sealed. For details, see Mount the transparent dome housing.
