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.

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.
SDI Output Distance*
EX-SDI 1.0 800 ft
