When using the indoor dome housing, it is recommended you use it with the VB-H43B/VB-M42B/
VB-H41B/VB-M40B (black model) to reduce the camera's visibility and reflection.

 Important

•  If using the dome housing, care must be taken when installing the camera since the dome may blur the 

video, or the body of the dome may be visible, when the camera lens approaches the horizontal (less 
than 15°).

•  The angle of view is slightly wider when using the dome housing.
•  Grime on the dome may reduce image quality. Periodic cleaning is recommended. Use a soft cloth 

moistened with water or diluted neutral detergent to wipe away grime, then wipe dry.
