Installation Tips
· Always test equipment before installing to ensure proper signal strength and picture quality
· Line of sight means there are no obstructions such as buildings and tree belts. The fewer obstructions,
the less interference to cause picture quality issues.
· There are several environmental conditions that may affect the range and quality of transmission. These
may include electrical lines, Wi-Fi, wireless device signals like handheld radios, government agencies
and radio stations. Therefore, Dakota Micro cannot guarantee any specific ranges.
· You may use Dakota Micro® cables to mount camera up to 120 feet from transmitter.

Wireless 7dBi Antenna (PN: DMAC-MA7-PM) Benefits · Possible distance of 2,600
feet (Varies based on location and geography) · Permanent Mount · 6-foot
attached cable · Low Cost Tips · No add-on extension cable
Wireless 8dBi Omni-Directional Antenna (PN: DMAC-WA8) Benefits · Possible
distance of 1 mile (Varies based on location and geography) · Sturdy
Construction · 20-foot Cable · Additional extension cables available Tips ·
Omni-directional signal operates like a “fan” so that the signal will not be
received/transmitted directly below or above
Wireless 8dBi Directional Antenna (PN: DMAC-WA8P) Benefits · Possible distance
of 1 mile (Varies based on location and geography) · 20-foot Cable · Full
transmission aimed in one direction · Can be mounted on side of buildings Tips
· Transmits and/or receives in one direction only
Antenna Notes: Line of sight is important with this wireless equipment. Use of
wireless equipment in enclosed spaces drastically reduces signal strength. For
best results, it is recommended to mount an antenna on the exterior of the
structure. Dakota Micro does not support or recommend the use of third-party
antennas. It is recommended to use antennas the same strength on both the
transmitter and receiver

Warnings
1. When selecting a camera system from Dakota Micro, Inc., be sure to utilize
the appropriate system for your use. AgCam®, EnduraCam® and InnoPro® cameras
are designed for high impact, moisture, vibration, and a variety of other
rough conditions. OverView® and RazerCamTM cameras and kit components are
designed for light use, low vibration, and low moisture. OverView® and
RazerCamTM equipment is not warranted when used in situations outside of the
abovementioned parameters. We always request that customers keep in mind that
our less expensive OverView® and RazerCamTM product line is cheaper because it
does not feature the reliability and durability of our AgCam® and EnduraCam®
lines. The warranty available on these products reflects that durability.
2. To avoid electrical shock and maintain optimal functionality, do not open
the enclosures. High voltage may be present and there are no user serviceable
parts inside. All warranties will be void should any enclosures be tampered
with in any way.
3. Do not use any harsh chemical solvents, cleaning agents or corrosive
detergent to clean away dirt on the surface of the screen or lens.
4. On AgCam® and EnduraCam® products, the photo-chromic camera lenses have
been made impact-resistant and have been drop-ball tested according to Sec.
3.84,21 CRF BUT ARE NOT UNBREAKABLE. Because they have been hardened
chemically, they show no stress pattern. Inspect your lenses frequently.
Chipped or scratched surfaces will reduce protection. Such lenses should be
replaced only by the manufacturer.
5. Power to cameras is not interrupted by turning off monitor; 12v power
source must be terminated when not in use to avoid battery drain. To avoid
this problem be sure when hard wiring a unit, use a fused circuit.
6. Do not use your Dakota Micro, Inc. camera system for anything other than
legal surveillance and observation uses. Dakota Micro, Inc. is not liable for
any illegal or nefarious usage.
