1. SAFETY NOTES---IMPORTANT!!!

The following important notes must be followed carefully to run the camera and respective accessories in total safety.

The camera and relative accessories are called video system in this section.

␣ Before installing the camera, please read this manual carefully; when installing please follow instructions of installation
indicated in this manual. Please keep this manual for future use.

␣ The following installation should be performed by qualified service personnel or system installers in accordance with
all regional regulations.

␣ Before powering on the camera, please check the power voltage carefully. Make sure that you are using the correctly
rated power source and ensure the camera is correctly isolated, by either an in line fuse or preferably a suitably rated
circuit breaker on the vessels electrical distribution panel. It is advised that the camera is powered separately and that no
other devices share circuit protection to enable a suitably rated fuse / breaker to be employed.

␣ Please ensure cables suitable for the power, video and data to the camera are used. Refer to the product
specifications within this document for the electrical rating of the camera and use the appropriate size and rated cable.e

␣ Do not operate the camera beyond the specified temperature and humidity. The camera’s working temperature range
is between -45°C~+65°C. The ambient humidity range is less than 95%.

␣ When transporting, avoid violent shaking or undue force to the camera. Do not drop the camera. To prevent electric
shock, do not remove screws or covers of the camera. There are no self-serviceable parts inside. Refer to qualified
service personnel for servicing.

␣ Video cable and RS485 cable should ideally not be run in parallel with power cables. Use shielded twisted pair cable
for the RS485 telemetry data cable and suitable co-axial cable such as RG59, URM70 or RG179 Mini Coax for the video
feed. Pre-Made cables are available from Iris Innovations. For further information check the Knowledge Base at http://

www.boat-cameras.com/knowledge-base.php

␣ Never aim the lens of the camera at the sun or other extremely bright objects as this may cause damage to the
sensitive optical sensor within the camera.

␣ When cleaning the camera, please use soft cloth. If the camera is very dirty, wipe it off gently with a soft cloth
moistened with a weak solution of water and a neutral kitchen detergent. Wring all liquid from the cloth before wiping the
camera, then wipe off all remaining dirt with a soft, dry cloth. Use lens cleaning paper to clean the lens.

␣ Do not move the camera module manually. Doing so could result in malfunction to the camera. Do not hold the inner
dome section of the camera when carrying the video camera as this may damage the tilt gears.

2.2. FUNCTIONS

Day/Night Function

The cameras features an in-built, automatic Infra Red cut-out filter that switches the output from colour to monochrome in
low light conditions. This enhances the clarity of the image in low-light situations and provides clear video images in
illumination levels as low as 0.01 Lux. This feature can also be activated or deactivated using dedicated commands.

Save/Call Preset

Preset Positions are ‘Memory’ positions that are stored within the camera. There are 256 memory positions available to
the user. The user simply drives the cameras pan, tilt and zoom position and then stores the position in a dedicated
‘Preset’ position, which can be recalled at the touch of a button when required.

Zoom control

The camera features fully controllable optical and digital zoom controls, to a magnification level determined by the
particular model (x18, x28 or x36).

Focus control

System defaults to Auto Focus mode, that is, the lens and camera will automatically adjust the focus to get the best
image depending on the current field of view. This is an extremely powerful feature and rarely (if ever) requires manual
intervention.

Focus can also be controlled manually from the controller if required. Press Focus Near or Focus Far key to manually
focus. Focus can be manual via keyboard or other controller, please refer to control keyboard or other controller
operation manual for detailed operation.

The camera will NOT auto focus in the following situations:

Target is not in the center of image

Targets extend through the near and far depth of field

Target is a strong light source (such as spotlight)

Target is behind glass or there is a build up of water drop or dust.

Target is moving too quickly

The target occupies too much of the image (such as a wall)

Target is too dark of vague.

IRIS control

System defaults to Auto IRIS.

The Camera adjusts immediately according to the alteration of back ground illumination so that a steady image contrast
can be achieved.

You may adjust the IRIS via the controller to get required image brightness if necessary, depending on your controller,
and call back Auto IRIS when required.

Auto White Balance

Camera defaults to automatically adjust the white balance (WB) according to the alteration of background contrast to
give a true color image.

Back Light Compensation (BLC)

If a bright backlight is presents, the subjects in the picture may appear dark or as a silhouette. Backlight compensation
enhances objects in the center of the picture. The camera uses the center of the picture to adjust the IRIS. If there is a
bright light source outside this area, it will ordinarily wash out to white so the camera will adjust the IRIS so that the
object in the sensitive area is properly exposed.

Auto Cruise

Preset positions are programmed to be recalled in sequence. This feature is called auto cruise.

2.2. FUNCTIONS (Continued...)

Auto, Random and Frame Scan

Auto Scan: Scans the camera through 360° from the current position.

Random Scan: Scans the camera in random intervals through 360˚ from the current position.

Frame Scan: Scans the camera between two set positions.

For Frame Scan: The zoom at two limits shall be programed the same.

Image Flip

The camera can either be installed in a ‘base down’ (standard) orientation or in a hanging position. The Image Flip
functions inverts the image accordingly.
