16About reflection of light from outside orIR lightDepending on the incident angle of high inten-sity light source such as sunlight or lighting,images of non-existing objects (reflected light)or reflections of surroundings on the cameralens (ghost) may sometimes appear on thescreen. Especially in the case of LED light,these phenomena may be seen remarkably.In the case of using the IR light, installation ofa camera near a wall may cause reflection ofinfrared rays resulting in a part of the screenor the entire screen turning whitish. Therefore,consider the installation place carefully.• Refer to our website (https://security.panasonic.com/support/info/ No.: C0109>) for image examples andmeasures to take.Protection from lightningWhen cables are used outdoors, there is achance that they may be affected by lightning.In such a case, install a lightning arrestor closeto the camera, and make the length of the net-work cable between the camera and lightningarrestor as short as possible to prevent thecamera from being damaged by lightning.Grounding connection of the lightningarrestorWith the camera mount bracket connected tothe earth ground, connect the ground of thelightning arrestor (locally procured) to the fol-lowing location of this unit.
