Important Safety Instructions & Precautions

General Precautions:

• Ensure the installation area can support the product's total weight. Improper installation may lead to falls, causing injury or accidents. Reinforce the mounting surface if necessary.
• Conduct periodic inspections for rust on metal parts or screws, which could lead to falls. Consult a dealer for inspections.
• Tighten screws and bolts to the specified torque to prevent drops and potential injury.
• Turn off the power before wiring to avoid electric shock, short circuits, or fire.
• Install the product high enough to prevent people or objects from bumping into it, to avoid injury.
• Do not install in locations subject to vibration, as this can loosen mounting screws and cause falls.
• Ensure all wiring is performed correctly to prevent short circuits, fire, or electrical shock.
• Install the product securely on a wall or ceiling according to the instructions to prevent injury or accidents.
• Avoid touching the edges of metal parts with your hands to prevent injury.
• Do not touch the metal part on the bottom of the product during use, as it may become hot and cause burns.
• Turn off the power before cleaning the product to prevent injury.
• Do not insert foreign objects into the unit; this can cause fire or electric shock. If this occurs, turn off the power immediately and contact qualified service personnel.
• Do not use in flammable atmospheres, as this may cause an explosion and injury.
• Avoid installing in locations with salt damage or corrosive gases, as this can deteriorate mounting parts and lead to falls.
• Do not strike or apply strong shock to the product, as this may cause injury or fire.
• Keep microSD memory cards away from infants and children to prevent accidental swallowing. Consult a doctor immediately if this occurs.
• Do not hang from the product or use it as a pedestal to prevent injury or accidents.
• Do not damage the power cable (twist, stretch, bundle, bend, place heavy objects on it, or keep near heat sources). Damaged cables can cause electric shock, short circuits, or fire. Consult a dealer for repairs.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the product; this can cause fire or electric shock. Consult a dealer for repair or inspection.
• Do not install, clean, or touch the product, power cable, or connected cables during thunderstorms to prevent electric shock.
• Refer installation work to a dealer, as it requires technique and experience. Improper installation can lead to fire, electric shock, injury, or product damage.
• Stop operation immediately if any abnormality occurs (smoke, unusual smell, deteriorated exterior). Continued use can cause fire, falls, injury, or product damage. Turn off the power and contact qualified service personnel.

Caution:

Precautions for Installation

• Mount the product securely to a ceiling or wall as per the Installation Guide to prevent injury.
• Installation Area: Select a strong mounting surface (e.g., concrete ceiling). Install in a foundation area or where sufficient strength is assured. Do not mount on plasterboard or weak wooden sections without reinforcement.
• Indoor Use: This camera is designed for indoor use only. Avoid direct sunlight, heaters, air conditioners, water, and moisture, as these can cause deformation, discoloration, or malfunction.
• Locations to Avoid:
  • Areas with chemical agents (e.g., swimming pools).
  • Areas with moisture or oil smoke (e.g., kitchens).
  • Areas with flammable atmospheres or solvents.
  • Areas with radiation, X-rays, strong radio waves, or strong magnetic fields.
  • Coastal areas with sea breezes or areas with corrosive gases (e.g., hot springs).
