4. Precautions
To avoid electric shock and prevent the loss of water proofing/warranty, do not remove cover
(or back).
Never point the camera towards the sun. Never aim the CCD at the sun. This can
result in irrevocable destruction of image sensors and create white dots on the monitor.
Operate the camera only within the specified temperature range. Operating the
camera outside the prescribed range can lead to reduced product life and early malfunction.
Greatly exceeding the specified operating range can also result in immediate failure of the
camera. All specifications can be found in the technical data.
Handle the camera with care. Do not abuse the camera. Avoid striking, shaking, etc.
Mount the camera in a shake-free area. The camera could be damaged by improper handling,
storage or transport.
5. Installation instructions
The waterproof PROFILINE colour cameras are equipped with a special IR filter and are
particularly well suited for surveillance during day and night. The cameras are therefore
suitable for operation in conjunction with IR spotlights to 940 nm. In addition, the PROFILINE
colour cameras are equipped with automatic switching for black/white operation when
illumination falls below 2 Lux.
Perfect (colour) video pictures depend a great deal on the illumination. Please take this into
account when installing artificial light sources. Light sources with a colour temperature different
from daylight may effect colour drifts for colour cameras.
The cause of bad picture quality goes hand in hand with the cabling. Ensure professional
installation and avoid passive video distributors. Always select the shortest distance between the
camera and the next video unit.
Be sure to use the supplied sun protection roof when mounting outdoors. It protects the camera
against high temperatures due to sunlight and protects against snow in the winter.
