About SDHC/SD memory card 
SW316L 
SW316
	 •	 Before	 inserting	 the	 SDHC/SD	 memory	card, turn off the power of this product 
first. Otherwise, it may cause malfunction 
or damage data recorded on the SDHC/
SD memory card. Refer to page 28 for 
descriptions of how to insert/remove an 
SDHC/SD memory card. 
	 •	 When	using	a	SDHC/SD	memory	card,	for -
mat it using this product. Recorded data 
on the SDHC/SD memory card will be 
deleted when formatted. If an unformatted 
SDHC/SD memory card or a SDHC/SD 
memory card formatted with other devices 
is used, this product may not work proper -
ly or performance deterioration may be 
caused. Refer to the Operating Instructions 
(included in the CD-ROM) for how to for -
mat a SDHC/SD memory card. 
	 •	 When	 some	 SDHC/SD	 memory	 cards	 are	
used with this product, the product may 
not work properly or performance deterio-
ration may be caused. Use the SDHC/SD 
memory cards recommended in page 47. 
Code label
The code labels (accessory) are required at 
inquiry for trouble. Use caution not to lose 
these labels. It is recommended to paste one 
of the labels onto the CD-ROM case. Discoloration on the color filter of the 
MOS image sensor
	 •	 When	 continuously	 shooting	 a	 bright	 light	
source such as a spotlight, the color filter 
of the MOS image sensor may have deteri-
orated and it may cause discoloration. 
Even when changing the fixed shooting 
direction after continuously shooting a 
spotlight for a certain period, the discolor -
ation may remain. 
	 •	 When	shooting	fast-moving	subjects	or	 performing panning/tilting operations, 
objects crossing the shooting area may 
look to be bending askew.

Precautions for installation
Installing place
Contact your dealer for assistance if you are 
unsure of an appropriate place in your particu-
lar environment.
	 •	 Make	 sure	 that	 the	 installation	 area	 is	strong enough to hold this product, such 
as a concrete ceiling. 
	 •	 Install	the	camera	in	the	foundation	area	of	 the architecture or where sufficient strength 
is assured.
	 •	 If	 a	 wall	 or	 ceiling	 board	 such	 as	 plaster	 board is too weak to support the total 
weight, the area shall be sufficiently rein-
forced.
Do not place this product in the following 
places:
	 •	 Locations	 where	 a	 chemical	 agent	 is	 used	 such as a swimming pool
	 •	 Locations	 subject	 to	 oil	 smoke	 such	 as	 a	 kitchen
		 •	 Locations	that	have	a	specific	environment	 that is subject to an inflammable atmo-
sphere or solvents
	 •	 Locations	 where	 a	 radiation,	 an	 X-ray,	 a	 strong radio wave or a strong magnetic 
field is generated
	 •	 Locations	 where	 corrosive	 gas	 is	 pro-
duced, locations where it may be damaged 
by briny air such as seashores
	 •	 Locations	 where	 the	 temperature	 is	 not	 within the specified range (page 43). 
	 •	 Locations	 subject	 to	 vibrations	 (This	 prod- uct is not designed for on-vehicle use.)
Be sure to remove this product if it is not 
in use.  Design and engineer the power supply 
system to turn on/off the power of this 
product. 
The product has no power switch. When 
installing the product, use a power supply 
device equipped with the ON-OFF switch for 
servicing. 
About the network connection
When connecting to a network using the network 
cable of this product, observe the following.

engineer not to be affected by thunder.
	 •	 It	 is	 impossible	 to	 install	 this	 product	 in	 combination with a pan/tilt head.
Screw tightening
	 •	 The	 screws	 and	 bolts	 must	 be	 tightened	 with an appropriate tightening torque 
according to the material and strength of 
the installation area.
	 •	 Do	 not	 use	 an	 impact	 driver.	 Use	 of	 an	 impact driver may damage the screws or 
cause tightening excessively.
	 •	 Tighten	 screws	 at	 a	 right	 angle	 to	 the	 sur -
face. After tightening screws, perform visu-
al check to ensure tightening is so suffi-
cient that there is no backlash.
The measures of protection against a fall 
of this product shall be taken.
Failure to observe this may cause a drop resulting 
in injury or accidents. Be sure to install the safety 
wire.

IMPORTANT:
	 •	 Prepare	 the	 mounting	 screws	 according	 to	 the	 material	 of	 the	 area	 where	 the	 camera	 mount	 bracket and the adapter box are to be installed. In this case, wood screws and nails should not 
be used. Recommended tightening torque M4: 1.57 N·m {1.16 lbf·ft}
	 •	 Required	pull-out	capacity	of	a	single	screw/bolt	is	196	N	{44.06	lbf}	or	more.
	 •	 If	a	wall	or	ceiling	board	such	as	plaster	board	is	too	weak	to	support	the	total	weight,	the	area	 shall be sufficiently reinforced.
	 •	 The	camera	mount	bracket	can	be	directly	mounted	on	the	wall	using	a	junction	box	(locally	
procured) embedded in the wall, or a wall with a cable access hole.
	 •	 The	screws	that	secure	the	camera	mount	bracket	on	a	wall	are 	not	supplied.	Prepare	the	
screws according to the material, structure, strength and other factors of the mounting area 
and the total weight of objects to be mounted.
Preparations
Caution:
	 •	 FOR	UL	LISTED	MODEL(S),	ONLY	CONNECT	12	V	DC	CLASS	2	POWER	SUPPLY.
