2.8.4 Unable To Communicate Over Ethernet
First check to ensure the physical connections are intact and that the camera is powered on and 
providing analog video to the monitor. When the camera is turned on, confirm the startup information 
is displayed on the analog monitor after approximately 90 seconds. For example:
S/N: 1234567
IP Addr: 192.168.250.116
Confirm that the IP address for the PC (for example, 192.168.250.1) is on...

2.8.8 Noisy image
With the analog video signal, a noisy image is usually attributed to a cable problem (too long or 
inferior quality) or the cable is picking up electromagnetic interference (EMI) from another device. 
Although coax cable has built-in losses, the longer the cable is (or the smaller the wire gauge/
thickness), the more severe the losses become; and the higher the signal frequency, the more 
pronounced the losses....

2.8.10 Eastern or Western Exposure
Once installed, the camera may point directly east or west, and this may cause the sun to be in the 
field of view during certain portions of the day. We do not recommend intentionally viewing the sun, 
but looking at the sun will not permanently damage the sensor. In fact the thermal imaging camera 
often provides a considerable advantage over a conventional camera in this type of back-lit...
