Periodically, images may appear distorted, depending on the installation environment and the subject. (This phenomenon may be noticeable when the entire screen is dark, or a part of the screen, such as a wall, is dark. To reduce this phenomenon, it is recommended to make the entire screen bright, such as by facing the camera to a bright place or installing lighting.)

When using a microSD memory card, refer to the Operating Instructions for precautions regarding microSD memory cards.

When installing this product in a location where it is exposed to electronic/magnetic noise, be aware of potential noise on images or audio.

The product has no power switch. When turning off the power, disconnect the power supply from the PoE device. If the PoE device has no power switch, disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

The camera uses infrared light. Therefore, the display may change color when it is used with certain types of fluorescent lamps. When using the product, install it so that light other than light from the camera (sunlight, fluorescent light, etc.) is not incident on the lens. (Otherwise, the color tone will change.)

If the camera is installed in an area that is directly exposed to exhaust gas from vehicles, the oil content in the exhaust gas may cause the front cover to become cloudy and make it difficult to clean. If the camera is installed under such conditions, we recommend cleaning the front cover periodically.

Do not wipe the camera with benzine, thinner, alcohol, or any other type of solvent or detergent. Otherwise, discoloration may occur. When using a chemical cloth for cleaning, read the caution provided with the chemical cloth product.

When cleaning the product body, use a soft, dry cloth. When dirt is heavy, use a neutral detergent and wipe gently, then wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

The dome cover of this product is made of polycarbonate resin. Do not expose the cover to organic solvents (thinner, benzine etc.), strong alkaline detergents or strong acid detergents. In case such solvent or detergent adheres to the cover, the cover may become cloudy or discolored by chemical reaction. Use care when selecting screw fixing agents, lubricants, etc.

Do not place the battery in a location where it is exposed to direct sunlight, or where the temperature is high. This may cause the battery to leak, overheat or ignite.

The battery is inside the camera. Do not leave the battery in an environment of excessive heat or cold.

– Screw holes: 46 mm (1-13/16 inches) apart horizontally, 40 mm (1-21/32 inches) apart vertically.

The “up” direction of the camera should align with the direction the camera is pointed.

Notes:

– Determine the mounting height of the camera so that the lowest part of the camera or the camera mount bracket after the installation is 2 m 80 cm (110 inches) or higher from the floor.

– When running the cable using the side cable access hole of the camera, the cable access hole indicated in the upper figure is not required.

– To install this product outdoors, be sure to waterproof screw holes and cable access hole.

Mount the gangbox/junction box on the installation surface.

Note:

– When gangbox/junction box or the like are used, it is recommended that 2 pieces be used side by side. (Cable connection will become easy by fixing the camera on one side and wiring on the other side.)

– Determine the mounting height of the camera so that the lowest part of the camera or the camera mount bracket after the installation is 2 m 80 cm (110 inches) or higher from the floor.

1. Install the adapter box on the installation surface by following the operating instructions of WV-QJB500-W (option).

2. Hang the camera by hooking the installed auxiliary wire (from the adapter box) on the hook on the rear of the camera mount bracket.

Note:

– Determine the mounting height of the camera so that the lowest part of the camera or the camera mount bracket after the installation is 2 m 80 cm (110 inches) or higher from the floor.

IMPORTANT:

– Devices to which power can be supplied to this product are PoE hub and PoE power supplying equipment.

– Turn off each system’s power supply before making a connection.

– Use an Ethernet cable (category 5e or better, straight, 4 pairs (8 pins)) with an external dimension of ø5 mm (ø3/16 inches) – ø6.5 mm (ø1/4 inches), less than 100 m (328 feet) in length.

– Wire and caulk appropriately.

– When connecting the RJ45 waterproof connector: Insert the RJ45 plug. Align “▶” on the RJ45 waterproof connector cover with “◀” on the RJ45 waterproof connector cap and then rotate until “●” aligns with “◀”. Tighten until no gap is present.

– Do not install the camera where the RJ45 waterproof connector is exposed to constant rain or moisture.

– When removing the RJ45 waterproof connector, be sure to remove it with the reverse procedure of connection.

– When the Ethernet cable is disconnected once, reconnect the cable after around 2 seconds. When the cable is quickly reconnected, the power may not be supplied from the PoE device.
