ZOOM FOCUS
• If SYNC TDN is set to ‘ON’ regular inspection and cleaning of the camera sur­face is strongly recommended. If the surface is dirty from dust, moisture, spider webs– the camera might not focus correctly.
• During refocusing of SYNC TDN, the camera will be out of focus for a few sec­onds.
• Upon initial installation/power ON of camera the camera will begin to focus on the current scene. If there is an obstruction of the lens; installer or object block­ing the lens – the camera might focus on those objects and could appear out of focus. To refocus the camera either adjust the level of zoom (zoom in / zoom out) or press and hold on ONESHOT.
Notes
Notes
ONESHOT Press and hold the joystick ‘IN’ to force the lens to quickly Auto Focus to the
current zoom level/focal length.
SYNC TDN Set to ON to automatically change the focus when the camera switches from
Day to Night mode. (re-focuses when switches back to Day mode from Night).
LENSRESET
Press and hold the SETUP button to reset the lens– this will go through the currently selected Scanning mode (Half or Full).
REFOCUS
Turn ON and set the interval to when the lens should refocus. Not recommended for most applications, only suggested to be used if/when the device is installed next to something that might cause the lens to lose focus (such as a heavy door slamming shut or machine that produces heavy/constant vibration). The time that the refocusing will happen is based on the time that the device was initially powered ON.

DAY & NIGHT
From the main menu, scroll to DAY&NIGHT and select a desired mode using the Left or RIGHT buttons according to the picture display you want.
AUTO The mode is switched to ‘COLOR’ in a normal environment, but switches to
‘B/W’ mode when ambient illumination is low.
• ANTI-SAT: Cameras equipped with IR LEDs may have an over-saturated night time image. Adjust the level of ANTI-SAT to compensate for over-saturation.
• D>N THRES: Day to Night change level.
• N>D THRES: Night to Day change level.
• DELAY: Sets a delay time before the switch is made from day to night/night
to day. Useful if the camera is placed in an area that is subject to shadows or intermittent light level changes.
COLOR The image is always displayed in color. Automatic switching does not occur.
B/W The image is always displayed in black and white. Automatic switching does not
occur.
This function displays images in color or B/W. In AUTO mode the camera will automati­cally transition to B/W to allow for clearer low-light images.

This function allows the ability to adjust the color temperature, based on colors being emitted from dierent light sources. Illumination is generally referred to as color tem-
perature, which is represented in a measurement of kelvin (K).
From the main menu, scroll to WHITE BAL and select one of the 4 following modes using the Left or Right buttons.
AUTO (1,800°K ~ 10,500°K) Select this to automatically readjust the white balance each time a change in
the ambient color temperature is detected.
AWC-SET
Select this to find the optimal luminance level for the current environment, point the camera towards a sheet of white paper, then press and hold the joystick IN. Contine holding the joystick IN until the text stops flashing.
MANUAL Select this to fine-tune white balance manually. Color Temp (°Kelvin) and Red/
Blue gain values are adjustable.
NOTICE
• WHITE BALANCE may not work properly under the following conditions:
1. When the color temperature of the environment surrounding the subject is out of the control range (ie. clear sky or sunset).
2. When the ambient illumination of the subject is dim.
3. If the camera is directed towards a fluorescent light or is installed in a place where illumination changes dramatically, the WHITE BALANCE operation may become unstable.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If you have trouble operating your camera, refer to the following table. If the guidelines do not enable you to solve the problem, contact Clinton Electronics Technical Support at 1-800-549-6393 or 815-633-1444.
Problem Solution
Nothing appears on the screen.
• Check the power connection.
• Check the video signal connection (HD-SDI, Composite).
• When the camera’s HD-SDI/EX-SDI BNC output is directly connected to the DVR’s or monitor’s BNC terminal: Make sure the DVR or monitor supports that signal type/input.
• Check MODE_SEL; change to HD-SDI if connected to HD-SDI system, or EX-SDI if connected to EX-SDI system.
• HD-SDI output is converted into other format such as HDMI, DVI or VGA by using a video converter. Make sure the converter’s HD-SDI input format supports the product’s output video format
The video image is not clear.
• Check if the lens is clean. Clean the lens with a clean cloth.
• Check if the dome is clean. Clean the dome with water and a clean, lint-free cloth.
• Check the focus of the camera.
• Adjust the contrast feature of the monitor.
• Make sure that the screen is not exposed directly to a bright light. Move the camera if necessary.
The screen is dark. • Adjust the contrast feature of the monitor.
• Adjust the BRIGHTNESS level of the EXPO­SURE.
• If you have an intermediate device, set the 75Ω/Hi-z properly, and check the terminals.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Solution
There is a problem with the camera operation. The camera surface is too hot and black stripes appear on the screen.
• Check if an appropriate power source to the camera complies with the manufacturer’s standard requirement, or if the voltage keeps changing.
The MOTION function is not working.
• Check if the SENSITIVITY level is too low.
Colors are not quite right. • Check the WHITE BAL setting.
• Perform AWC
SET.
The screen is flickering. • Check if the camera is facing directly into
sunlight or fluorescent light. Move the cam­era if necessary.
• Set Shutter to FLK. (Flicker)
• HD-SDI video may not appear to be normal if distance exceeds the maximum transferable distance.
• When a BNC cable adapter is used to com­bine two or more BNC cables for distributed HD-SDI video transfer, make sure the imped­ance of the adapter is 75Ω. Otherwise, it may cause shorter transfer distance or broken video transfer.
COLOR (Day&Night) mode is not working.
• Check the delay in the DAY&NIGHT ‘AUTO’ sub-menu.
The camera is not switching to B/W mode at night.
• Check the DAY&NIGHT setting. If the camera is equipped with IRs, leave set to EXTERN.
SENS-UP function is not working.
• Check if Shutter settings are set to AUTO or 1/30.

HD-SDI INSTALL TIPS
SDI OUTPUT:
To change the digital video output of the camera (SDI Output): Enter the cam­era’s OSD menu– then access the SYSTEM menu, scroll to MODE SEL and move left or right to change from HD-SDI to EX-SDI.
COMPATIBILITY:
While EX-SDI, HD-SDI and Analog share the same type of cable and connectors, that is where the similarities end.
When making video connections, ensure the correct BNC connector is used.
• EX-SDI will not work on Analog only DVRs & Devices
• EX-SDI will not work on CVI, TVI, AHD DVRs & Devices
• EX-SDI will not work on HD-SDI only DVRs & Devices
DISTANCES:
The camera can transmit EX-SDI (1.0), which is capable of transmitting video up to 800’ over RG59 coax cable.
Cable splices, improper BNC termination, damaged shielding, kinks and severe bends in the cable will reduce the possible distance of the video transmission.
Distances will vary
depending on RG59
coax integrity.
