memory  card,  format  it  using  this  camera. 
Recorded  data  on  the  SDHC/SD  memory 
card  will  be  deleted  when  formatted.  If  an 
unformatted SDHC/SD memory card or an 
SDHC/SD  memory  card  formatted  with 
other devices is used, this product may not 
work properly or performance deterioration 
may  be  caused.  Refer  to  the  Operating 
Instructions  (PDF)  for  how  to  format  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

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 deteriorated and 
it  may  cause  discoloration.  Even  when  chang-
ing  the  fixed  shooting  direction  after  continu-
ously  shooting  a  spotlight  for  a  certain  period, 
the discoloration may remain.

electric installation. 
    
This camera is designed to be used 
indoors. 
This product is not operable outdoors. 
Do not expose this camera to direct sunlight for 
hours  and  do  not  install  the  product  near  a 
heater  or  an  air  conditioner.  Otherwise,  it  may 
cause  deformation,  discoloration  and  malfunc-
tion.  Keep  this  camera  away  from  water  and 
moisture. 
Installing place
Do not place this product in the following plac-
es:
	 •	 Locations	where	it	may	 get	wet	 from	 rain	
or water splash
	 •	 Locations	 where	a	chemical	 agent	is	used	
such as a swimming pool
	 •	 Locations	 subject	to	humidity,	 dust,	steam	
and oil smoke
	 •	 Locations	 in	a	specific	 environment	 where	
a  solvent  or  a  flammable  atmosphere 
exists
	 •	 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  dam-
aged by briny air such as seashores
	 •	 Locations	 where	the	temperature	 is	not	
within –10 °C to +50 °C {14 °F to 122 °F}. 
	 •	 Locations	 subject	to	vibrations	 (This	prod-
uct is not designed for on-vehicle use.)
	 •	 Locations	 subject	to	condensation	 as	the	
result of severe changes in temperature
    (In  case  of  installing  the  camera  in  such 
locations,  the  dome  cover  may  become 
foggy  or  condensation  may  be  caused  on 
the cover.)
     Be sure to remove this product if it is not 
in use. 
Shielded (STP) LAN cables must be used 
with this unit to ensure compliance with 
EMC standards. *
* PAL models only
Before installation
	 •	 The	
camera	mount	bracket	 described	 on	
page  19  shall  be  used  to  mount  the  cam-
era. 
	 •	 When	 this	camera	 and	camera	 mount	
bracket are mounted on a ceiling or a wall, 
use the screws described on page 19. The 
screws  to  be  used  are  not  provided. 
Prepare the screws according to the mate-
rial, structure, strength and other factors of 
the  mounting  area  and  the  total  weight  of 
objects to be mounted. 
	 •	 Ensure	 that	the	mounting	 surface,	anchor	
and screws are sufficiently strong. 
	 •	 Do	 not	mount	 this	product	 on	a	plaster	
board  or  a  wooden  section  because  they 
are too weak. If this product is unavoidably 
mounted  on  such  a  section,  the  section 
shall  be  sufficiently  reinforced  or  use  an 
optional ceiling mount bracket (WV-Q105). 
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. 
	 •	 When	 a	screw	 is	tightened,	 make	the	
screw  at  a  right  angle  to  the  surface.  After 
tightening  the  screws  or  bolts,  perform 
visual check to ensure tightening is enough 
and there is no backlash.

Detaching the dome cover
Important:
	 •	 After	 removal,	retain	the	dome	 cover	fixing	screw	 so	as	not	 to	lose.	 The	screw	 is	required	 when	
attaching the dome cover. (☞ Page 34)
	 •	 Remove	 the	cover	 film	from	 the	dome  section  of  the  dome  cover  after  the  installation  is  com-
plete. Do not touch the dome section by hand directly after removing the cover film. 
z  Remove  the  dome  cover  fixing  screw  (M3, 
step screw, x1). 
x Rotate  the  dome  cover  counterclockwise  two  steps,  and  align  the  indication  "OPEN"  to  the 
maker of the camera to detach the dome cover.

Preparations
When  installing  the  camera  on  a  wall  or  a  ceiling,  there  are  four  methods  as  specified  below.  
(☞ Pages 20 and 21).
	 •	 Using	the	two-gang	junction	box
	 •	 Installing	the	camera	directly	on	the	ceiling	or	wall
	 •	 Using	the	optional	ceiling	mount	bracket	WV-Q168	(for	embedded	installation	on	a	ceiling)
	 •	 Using	the	optional	ceiling	mount	bracket	WV-Q105*
1 (for direct mounting on a ceiling) 
Important:
	 •	 Procure	 4	screws	 (M4)	to	secure	 the	camera	 to	a	wall	 or	a	ceiling	 according	 to	the	 material	 of	
the  installation  area.  In  this  case,  wood  screws  and  nails  should  not  be  used.  For  mounting  a 
camera  on  a  concrete  wall,  use  an  anchor  bolt  (for  M4)  or  an  AY  plug  bolt  (M4)  for  securing. 
(Recommended tightening torque: 1.6 N·m {1.18 lbf·ft})
	 •	 Required	pull-out	capacity	of	a	single	screw/bolt	is	196	N	{44	lbf}	or	more.	
	 •	 If	 a	ceiling	 board	such	as	plaster	 board	is	too	 weak	 to	support	 the	total	 weight,	 the	area	 shall	
be sufficiently reinforced or the optional ceiling mount bracket for the camera, WV-Q105, must 
be used. 
 
The mounting conditions of the camera are described as follows:
