STEP 1 – PREPARING TO MOUNT THE CAMERA
1. This product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed Power Supply Unit marked “Class
2” or “LPS” or “PS2” and rated 12 Vdc, 0.69A min. or 24 Vac, 50/60Hz 0.54A min.
2. Install the moisture packet in the base of the camera’s lens.
a. Remove the moisture absorber from the packaging.
b. Cut the card and folder along the dotted line.
c. Place the moisture absorber behind the camera’s lens module. See drawing for more
information.
WARNING: It is highly recommended that you install the moisture absorber when
mounting the camera. The moisture absorber prevents moisture from being
captured inside the camera's housing, which may cause image performance
issues and damage the camera.
NOTE: The camera will generate enough heat to dry moisture during operation.
In most cases it will not need the moisture absorber for more than the first
day. In cases where the camera can experience a moisture issue, users must
keep the moisture absorber in the camera. The moisture absorber has an
approximately 6-month life cycle, varying depending on the environment.
