If your PC does not meet the requirements, the display of images may become slower, or the web browser may become inoperable.

---

What are the network security risks associated with using the camera?

The main risks include:

1. Leakage or theft of information through the unit.
2. Use of the unit for illegal operations by persons with malicious intent.
3. Interference with or stoppage of the unit by persons with malicious intent.

---

What precautions should I take to protect against network security risks?

• Use the unit in a network secured by a firewall.
• Ensure the system is not infected by viruses or malicious entities by using updated anti-virus/anti-spyware programs.
• Use user authentication, set user names and passwords, and limit which users can log in to prevent unauthorized access.
• Apply measures like user authentication to protect your network against leakage or theft of information (image data, authentication info, alarm mail info, DDNS server info).
• Close the browser after the unit is accessed by the administrator.
• Change the administrator password periodically and keep user authentication information secure.
• Do not install the camera where it or its cables can be damaged by persons with malicious intent.

---

What should I do if images appear distorted periodically?

This is likely due to the camera being installed in a location subject to vibrations. This is a characteristic of CMOS sensors. To minimize this, install the camera in a more secure, stable location.

---

What should I do if an error is detected and the product restarts automatically?

The product will be inoperable for about 2 minutes after a restart, similar to when it’s first powered on.

---

What does the automatic status detection function do?

If the product malfunctions due to exogenous noise for 30 seconds or more, it will automatically restart and return to normal operation. Initialization will occur as if the power was turned on. If the product repeatedly resets, check for high levels of exogenous noise around the product, and contact your dealer for guidance.

---

How should I clean the product body?

1. Turn off the power before cleaning.
2. Do not use benzine, thinner, alcohol, or other solvents.
3. If using a chemical cloth, follow the instructions provided with the cloth.
4. Do not loosen or remove screws unless instructed in the documentation.

---

How should I clean the lens?

Use lens cleaning paper (for cameras or eyeglasses). If using solvent, use alcohol-based solvent, not thinner or glass cleaner.

How to I clean the dome cover (U2142, U2132)?

Use lens cleaning paper to remove dirt. Ensure any marks from light-shielding parts inside the dome are also removed, as they can affect infrared reflection.

---

What should I do with the product data when disposing of or transferring the product?

Ensure there is no personal data on the product. When abandoning memory media, physically destroy it after deleting data via PC.

---

How do I set the time and date?

Refer to the Operating Instructions for detailed steps on setting the time and date. It’s necessary to do this before operation.

---

What should I do before requesting repairs?

Check the symptoms against the troubleshooting table provided in the documentation. If the problem persists after trying the solutions, contact your dealer.

---

Troubleshooting Table

Symptom	Cause/solution
Power is not turned on.	• Check if the PoE device (IEEE802.3af compliant) and RJ45 Network connector are connected with an Ethernet cable. • Depending on the PoE device, the power may stop if the demanded power exceeds the limit. Refer to the PoE device’s instructions.
The LINK indicator does not light orange.	• Check if the Ethernet cable is connected correctly. • Ensure the hub or router is operating correctly. • Check if the Ethernet cable is broken. Replace if necessary.
The focus cannot be automatically adjusted. (U1142, U1132, U2142, U2132)	• In certain conditions (subject movement, lighting changes, low light, reflective surfaces, viewing through windows, dirty lens/dome, low contrast, flickering), automatic focus may not work. Manually adjust the focus in these cases. Make sure that the lens (U1142, U1132) or the dome cover (U2142, U2132) is clean.
