Features
Operating
Web Server Function
This camera is equipped with a web server
function. The camera can be accessed using a
computer’s web browser in order to view the
camera images. In addition, up to a maximum of
16 users can simultaneously access a single
camera on the network.
Network Connections
This camera is equipped with both an Ethernet
connector and an RS-232C connector, allowing
it to be connected to a variety of different
network environments, such as LANs and the
Internet.
Wireless LAN Compatibility
The camera can also be used in a wireless LAN
environment by installing the specified wireless
LAN card.
Adoption of JPEG2000
The images captured by the camera are
compressed using the JPEG2000 format before
transmission. In comparison to conventional
JPEG formats, this format produces very little
image deterioration and allows large volumes of
data to be transmitted quickly (maximum 30 fps).
Note: The transmission rate will vary depending
on individual network conditions.
A network environment that can transmit
data at high speeds is required in order to
transmit data at 30 fps.
Alarm Recording and Playback Functions
The built-in motion sensor detects movement,
and the camera can also be connected to an
external alarm sensor that is set to detect
abnormalities, so that images can be recorded
and played back when an alarm occurs.

Flange Back Adjustment
The flange back is the distance between the lens (sold separately) and the image capturing surface of
the camera. It is adjusted at the time of shipment from the factory to accommodate the types of lenses
that are generally assumed to be in use.
Accordingly, the flange back does not normally need to be adjusted. However, if attaching a zoom lens
and changing from wide angle to telephoto, the images may not be captured in proper focus, and so in
such cases the flange back should always be adjusted by following the procedure given below.
1
Connect a cable between the MONITOR
OUT connector of the camera and the
VIDEO IN connector of a monitor.
2
Turn on the camera’s power.
Adjust the flange back while viewing the
camera images on the monitor.
3
Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the
two flange back locking screws.
4
Move the zoom lens to the telephoto
setting, and then use the lens focus ring
to adjust the focus.
5
Move the zoom lens to the wide angle
setting, and then use the flange back
adjustment dial to adjust the focus.
