Turn on the power
After all connections and installations are completed,
turn on the power of the unit. When the camera is
booting, the [STATUS] indicator lights up orange. It lights
up green after booting.
When you mount the dome cover, make sure that no cables are connected to the [MONITOR] terminal.
Note
• Before installing the dome cover, make sure that silica gel (supplied)
is placed inside.
• Mount the dome cover firmly. If it is not fixed securely enough, the
moisture inside the camera increases, fogging the inside of the cover
or causing the cover to fall off.
• If you remove the dome cover after installing it, the field angle may
shift. If the field angle has shifted, adjust the focus and the field
angle again.
• Pay attention to the fall prevention wire so that it will not be caught
between the dome cover and the camera. Otherwise, dust proofing
and waterproofing may not work correctly.
