Precaution The camera does not have a power switch. In order to the power off, turn the power breaker off. Note the following to ensure long-term trouble-free operation. Long operation under high temperatures and high humidity can cause components to deteriorate and shorten camera life. (Less than +35°C (95°F) is recommended) Make sure that the camera is installed in a location where it is not directly exposed to heat from a radiator, heater, etc.
MPEG-4 Visual patent portfolio license This product is licensed under the MPEG-4 Visual patent portfolio license for the personal and non-commercial use of a consumer for (i) encoding video in compliance with the MPEG-4 Visual Standard ("MPEG-4 Video") and/or (ii) decoding MPEG-4 Video that was encoded by a consumer engaged in a personal and non-commercial activity and/or was obtained from a video provider licensed by MPEG LA to provide MPEG-4 Video.
Precaution (continued) Do not point the camera at a strong light source. • Intense light such as that produced by a spotlight concentrated on one part of the screen can cause blooming (rainbow around the strong light) or smearing (vertical stripes above and below the strong light). Smearing Bright subject Blooming Consumables The item listed below is a consumable. Replace it using the service life values as guides.

Functions Super Dynamic III (SUPER-D III) When there is wide variation between the illumination of light and dark areas of the location being monitored, the camera adjusts the lens iris in accordance with the bright areas. This causes loss of detail in dark areas. Conversely, adjusting lens brightness for the dark areas causes brighter areas to become washed out.
Functions (continued) Progressive output Jagged edges that are unique to interlaced cameras and that occur in areas with movement are corrected by the motion adaptive interlace/progressive conversion function and converted to progressive images. This allows both still and moving objects to be captured as well-defined images. Privacy Zone Setting The privacy zone function allows you to mask specific areas, such as housing, of a monitored scene from view.
Special Power Supply and Cable Installation Not Required (Power over Ethernet) Power can be supplied to the camera and images transmitted on a single LAN cable by connecting to PoE-compatible network devices. Special installation of a power supply for the camera and video cables is not required. Dual Encoding for Higher Efficiency Operation in Network Environments MPEG-4 and JPEG can be output at the same time.
Installation and Connections Installation Precautions The following describes how to install the camera. Before you install and connect the camera, check and prepare the required peripheral devices and cables. Before you connect the camera, turn off all devices to be connected, such as this camera and PC. Camera Installation Location Discuss the installation location for the camera with your retailer, and select a place that is strong enough for the installation.
About Static Electricity Removal Before installing the camera, touch a metal case or other metallic parts with your hand to remove static electricity from your body. Do not install in areas subjected to high amounts of humidity or dust. Doing so may cause internal components to damage more easily or malfunction. Do not wire cables near power lines. Configure the power supply to the camera so that it can be turned on and off.
Before Starting Installation The following procedures are for installing the camera on walls and ceilings. Important • The type of screws for the installation depend on the material at the location in which you will install the bracket (included). However, do not use wood screws or nails. Metal material: Use M6 or M5 bolts and nuts for mounting. Concrete wall: Use M6 or M5 anchor bolts for mounting. (Recommended tightening torque M4 : 0.8 N·m {8 kgf·cm} M5 : 1.5 N·m {15 kgf·cm} M6 : 2.
Installing the Camera 1 Install the mounting bracket. Fix the mounting bracket directly into the ceiling or wall or into the imbedded box using the four screws prepared in advance. (Note that screws for installation are not provided.) When using the imbedded box, we recommend using two boxes in a row as shown in the figure below on the right. (This is to make it easier to pass the cables through.
Installing the Camera (continued) 3 Unscrew the transportation screw. Transportation screw 4 Connect the power cable and the video output cable. See "Waterproofing Cable Joints" on page 26.
5 Install the camera on the mounting bracket. Fix the camera onto the mounting bracket using the four screws (provided). During installation, align the protruding part on the mounting bracket and the indented part on the camera to fix the position of the camera. Make sure to tighten the screws used for mounting the camera. (M4:0.78 N·m) {8kgf·cm} You can keep the camera waterproof by firmly tightening the installation screws.
Installing the Camera (continued) 6 7 Adjust the camera angle while monitoring the image on the adjustment monitor. See "Adjusting the Camera" on page 28. Install the enclosure. Tighten the screws unscrewed at step 3 using the driver bit (provided). Align the ▲ mark on the side of the enclosure with the line on the side of the bracket. (recommended torque: 0.
Connecting the Cables Network cable RJ-45 female/female conversion connector (included) Alarm I/O cable 4P alarm cable (included) Power cord (24 V AC/12 V DC) Brown (Live) Blue (Neutral) Green/Yellow (GND) Power cable 24 V AC 12 V DC Brown (Live) Live Plus Blue (Neutral) Neutral Minus Green/yellow (GND) Connect to ground.
Connecting the Cables (continued) Waterproofing Cable Joints Waterproof the cable to install the camera using exposed wiring, or when installing the camera under eaves. Though the camera body is waterproof, the cable ends are not waterproofed. Follow the procedure below to waterproof the power cables (including Alarm I/O cable) and LAN cable connections using butyl rubber tape (provided).
Important • When wiring the cable by exposed wiring, be sure to use a sleeve to prevent the cable from being exposed to the direct sunlight. • Install the camera so that the cable is at the bottom side of the camera. Draw out the cable to the side of the mounting fixture, set it facing down, and then wire it facing up. Bottom side • When installing the camera on a wall, install it so that the water drain groove is facing down. Also, do not block the water drain groove.
Adjusting the Camera 1 Adjust the camera angle while monitoring the image on the adjustment monitor. Connect the adjustment monitor (small LCD monitor, etc.) to the monitor output terminal, and adjust the camera angle. Determine and set the camera angle while repeating the fine-adjustments in steps (1), (2) and (3) below.
2 Adjust the focus. Adjust the focus at the same time as pan and tilt adjustment. Repeat steps (1) and (2) to adjust the focus. (1) Loosen the zoom lock lever, move the lens to the appropriate view angle between TELE and WIDE, and tighten the lever. (2) Loose the focus lock lever, roughadjust the focus, and tighten the lever. (2) Focus lock lever FAR TELE (1) Zoom lock lever NEAR WIDE ......................................................................................................................
Adjusting the Camera (continued) .............................................................................................................................. Note • How to Change the View Angle To change the view angle, turn the zoom lock lever and focus lock lever to adjust the focus. • How to Focus (capturing subjects with a self-closing lens) When the focus has been adjusted with the iris closed (to capture a bright subject), the subject may be out-of-focus when the iris is opened.

Handling SD Memory Cards Insertion and Removal of SD Memory Cards To insert or remove an SD memory card, the dome cover must be removed. (→ page 21) Important • Before inserting an SD memory card, turn the camera off. 1 Insert the SD memory card into the SD memory card slot. 2 Press the SD memory card in as far as possible until it is fixed in place. Your will hear it click into place. 3 To remove an SD memory card, press it in as far as possible again. You will hear it click and it will rise up.
Heater Unit When the heater unit (sold separately) is used, the camera can be used outdoors in lowtemperature environments down to -30ºC (-22ºF). The heater automatically turns on when the temperature inside the camera falls below about 10ºC (50ºF), and turns off when the temperature inside rises. The condensation fan alleviates the problem of clouding (condensation) caused by temperature change in the camera dome caused.
