Consumables
Parts having contacts such as the lens-drive motors,
cooling fan motor and slip-rings inside the camera are
subject to wear with time. Contact the nearest service
dealer about replacement and maintenance of such
parts.
Cleaning the camera
Turn off the camera and wipe it with a soft cloth. If the
camera is very dirty, wipe it off gently with a soft cloth
moistened with a weak solution of water and a neutral
kitchen detergent. Wring all excess liquid from the
cloth before wiping the camera. Next, wipe off all
remaining solution with a soft, dry cloth.
Contact a qualified service person before cleaning the
lenses. (Lenses do not move during cleaning.)
A dirty dome cover or lens causes deterioration of
picture quality. Use lens cleaning paper (like the type
available for cleaning eyeglasses or a camera lens) to
clean the lens.
The dome cover is particularly susceptible to damage.
Gently wipe it with a soft cloth.

Camera Installation Location
Discuss the installation location for the camera with
your retailer, and select a wall, ceiling or other location
that is strong enough to support the installation.
About ceiling mounts and brackets
For wall mounting, use the optionally available (WV-
Q122) Wall Mount Bracket.
Bolts for mounting the ceiling mount Attachment Pipe
to a ceiling or wall are not provided.
You need to purchase them separately in accordance
with the materials and strength of the place you are
installing the camera.
• Check the installation surface, and the anchors and
bolts to be used for sufficient strength.
• Gypsum board and wood surfaces tend to be
weak, and should not be used as an installation
surface. If use of such a surface for installation is
unavoidable, be sure to take adequate measures to
reinforce the surface.
Tightening the Screws
• Screws should
accordance with the materials and structure of the
installation location.
• Do not use an impact driver to drive screws. Doing
so can damage the screws.
• Drive the screws as straight as possible. After
tightening the screws, visually inspect them to
make sure there is no unevenness and that each
screw is tight.
