Warnings

1) When selecting a camera system from Dakota Micro, Inc., be sure to utilize the appropriate system for your use. AgCam®, EnduraCam® and InnoPro® cameras are designed for high impact, moisture, vibration, and a variety of other rough conditions. OverView® and RazerCamTM cameras and kit components are designed for light use, low vibration, and low moisture. OverView® and RazerCamTM equipment is not warranted when used in situations outside of the above-mentioned parameters. We always request that customers keep in mind that our less expensive OverView® and RazerCamTM product line is cheaper because it does not feature the reliability and durability of our AgCam® and EnduraCam® lines. The warranty available on these products reflects that durability.

2) To avoid electrical shock and maintain optimal functionality, do not open the enclosures. High voltage may be present and there are no user serviceable parts inside. All warranties will be void should any enclosures be tampered with in any way.

3) Do not use any harsh chemical solvents, cleaning agents or corrosive detergent to clean away dirt on the surface of the screen or lens.

4) On AgCam® and EnduraCam® products, the photo-chromic camera lenses have been made impact-resistant and have been drop-ball tested according to Sec. 3.84,21 CRF BUT ARE NOT UNBREAKABLE. Because they have been hardened chemically, they show no stress pattern. Inspect your lenses frequently. Chipped or scratched surfaces will reduce protection. Such lenses should be replaced only by the manufacturer.

5) Power to cameras is not interrupted by turning off monitor; 12v power source must be terminated when not in use to avoid battery drain. To avoid this problem be sure when hard wiring a unit, use a fused circuit.

6) Do not use your Dakota Micro, Inc. camera system for anything other than legal surveillance and observation uses. Dakota Micro, Inc. is not liable for any illegal or nefarious usage.
