10Discolouration on the CCD colour filterWhen continuously shooting a bright lightsource such as a spotlight, the colour filter ofthe CCD may have deteriorated and it maycause discolouration. Even when changingthe fixed shooting direction after continuouslyshooting a spotlight for a certain period, thediscolouration may remain.Do not aim the camera at strong lightsources.A light source such as a spot light causes ablooming (light bleeding) or a smear (verticallines).Indication labelRefer to the indication label placed on thesurface of the unit as to the indications ofequipment classification and power source,etc.PoE (Power over Ethernet)Use a PoE hub/device that is compliant withIEEE802.3af standard.RouterWhen connecting the camera to the Internet,use a broadband router with the port for-warding function (NAT, IP masquerade).Refer to the Network Operating Instructions(PDF) for further information about the portforwarding function.Be sure to remove this apparatus if it isnot in use.Radio interferenceWhen the camera is used near a TV/radioantenna, or a strong electric field or magneticfield (such as near a motor or a transformer),images may be distorted and noise may beproduced.Installing placeContact your dealer for assistance if you areunsure of an appropriate place in your partic-ular environment.Make sure that the installation area is strongenough to hold the camera, such as a con-crete ceiling. When the installation area is notstrong enough, reinforce and strengthen it oruse an optional ceiling mount bracket (WV-Q167).Avoid installing in the following locations.• Locations where it may get wet from rainor water splash (not only outdoor)• Locations where a chemical agent isused such as a swimming pool• Locations subject to steam and oil smokesuch as a kitchen• Locations near flammable gas or vapor• Locations where radiation or x-ray emis-sions are produced• Locations subject to strong magneticfield or radio waves• Locations where corrosive gas is pro-duced• Locations where it may be damaged bybriny air such as seashores• Locations where the temperature is notwithin –10 °C to +50 °C.• Locations subject to vibrations (Thisproduct is not designed for on-vehicleuse.)• Locations subject to condensation as theresult of severe changes in temperature(In case of installing the camera in suchlocations, the dome cover may becomefoggy or condensation may be causedon the cover.)• Locations with humid or dusty environ-mentSmear Bright subjectBlooming
