Before you install your IP box camera: • Please read this guide carefully. Keep this guide for future reference. • Before installing the camera, Honeywell recommends that you download the latest software updates. Go to http://www.honeywellsystems.com/support/download-center/index.html and follow the instructions on the page to logon, find your camera, and then download the latest software updates.
13). Overview of the Installation Procedure This network camera is intended for indoor use only. If you choose to mount the camera outdoors, you must employ a suitable weatherproof enclosure (such as Honeywell’s HHC12 camera housing). Seewww.honeywellvideo.com/products/cameras/index.html information on Honeywell weatherproof enclosures and mounting brackets.
Some installation codes state that the mounting bracket must be capable of supporting up to four times the combined weight of the camera and lens. For outdoor applications, mount the camera inside a weatherproof enclosure. See www.honeywellvideo.com/products/cameras/index.html for information on Honeywell weatherproof enclosures.

Glossary AGC (Automatic Gain Control) Video Amplifier in a camera that boosts the amount of video gain (including the noise) to maintain a 1V p-p (1-volt peak-to-peak) video signal output. It becomes operational when the light level is low. The circuit is designed to compensate for fluctuations in scene illumination which would cause the video output level to be too low.
