ICR540VD - Vandal Resistant Dome Camera
Features
Warning
Horizontal Resolution of 540 TV
Lines
Clear image quality has been achieved by
employing a SONY CCD with 410,000
(effective) pixels, which provides a
horizontal resolution of 540 TV lines.
DAY & NIGHT
This camera has a function that automatically selects the mode that is
appropriate for daytime or night-time
conditions. The COLOR mode operates in
daytime conditions to provide optimum
colors, and BW mode operates in nighttime conditions to enhance the definition
of the image.
Electronic IRIS
The electronic IRIS function enables
continuous automatic control of the
shutter between 1/60~1/120,000 seconds.
PRIVACY Function
The PRIVACY function conceals the
areas not required to appear on
the image.
High Sensitivity
The built-in high sensitivity SONY COLOR
CCD enables a clear image even in
0.3Lux(0.1Lux B/W) or as low as 0.002Lux
with SENS-UP.
DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)
The amount of low illuminance noise
has been significantly reduced, and the
signal-to-noise ratio (S/N ratio) as well as
horizontal resolution have been improved,
resulting in clear and sharp images
displayed even in low light.
Controlled by OSD Menu
The camera functions are controlled by
selecting text displayed on the monitor
screen.
Additional Functions
SENS-UP, MOTION DETECTION,
MIRROR, SHARPNESS and SYNC
(INT/LL) functions are also available.
Weather Proof (IP66)
The camera requires periodic inspection.
Contact an authorised technician to carry out the inspection.
Stop using your camera when you find it malfunctioning.
If the camera emits smoke or is unusually hot for a long period,
a fire may be caused.
Do not Install the camera on a surface that can not support it.
If the camera is installed on an inappropriate surface, it may fall
and cause injury.
Do not hold plug with wet hands.
It could cause an electric shock.
Do not dis-assemble the camera.
It may result in an electric shock or other hazards.
Do not use the camera close to a gas or oil leak.
It may result in a fire or other hazards.

Precautions
Do not install the camera in
extreme temperature conditions.
Only use the camera under conditions
where temperatures are between
-10°C and +50°C. Be especially
careful to provide ventilation when
operating under high temperatures.
Do not install the camera under
unstable lighting conditions.
Severe lighting change or flicker can
cause the camera to work improperly.
Do not install or use the camera in an
environment where the humidity is high.
It can cause the image quality to be
poor.
Do not touch the front lens of the
camera.
This is one of the most important parts of
the camera. Be careful not to leave
fingerprints on the lens cover.
Do not drop the camera or protect
it from physical shocks.
It can cause malfunctions to occur.
Do not expose the camera to rain
or spill beverage on it.
If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
Liquids can contain minerals that
corrode the electronic components.
Never keep the camera pointed
directly at strong light.
It can damage the CCD.
Do not expose the camera to
radioactivity.
If exposed to radioactivity the CCD
will fail.

MOTION DETECTION:
This product has a feature that allows you to observe movements of objects
in 4 different areas on the screen, and the words 'MOTION DETECTED'
appear on the screen when movement is detected; hence a single individual
can conduct supervision efficiently. The camera detects an object's
movement by sensing disparity of outline, and level of brightness and color.
• Please press the SET button.
- OFF : MOTION DETECTION mode is cancelled.
- ON : Any motion in the selected areas is observed.
• Please select the area you wish to observe from the 4 areas in AREA
SEL mode.
• Please select ON mode for the chosen area.
• Please adjust the size of the area to be observed by using the UP,
DOWN, LEFT or RIGHT button.
• Please press the SET button to save the changes and complete the setting.
PRIVACY : This mode conceals the areas you do not wish to appear on the screen.
- OFF : Cancels the PRIVACY mode. - ON : Operates the PRIVACY mode.
