Usage Precautions
Notes on cable configurations
The presence of lighting equipment and television receivers nearby may result in
video noise. In such cases, change the cable configurations or placement.
Notes on LAN cable connection
Secure the locking screws on the connector manually,
and do not use a driver. Do not secure the screws too
tightly. Doing so may wear down the screw threads
on the camera. (Tightening torque: 0.147 Nm or less)
Notes on attaching the lens
Avoiding dust particles
When attaching the lens to the camera, stray dust and other particles may adhere
to the sensor surface and rear surface of the lens. Be careful of the following
when attaching the lens.
• Work in a clean environment.
• Do not remove the caps from the camera and lens until immediately before
you attach the lens.
• To prevent dust from adhering to surfaces, point the camera and lens
downward and do not allow the lens surface to come into contact with your
hands or other objects.
• Always use a blower brush to remove any dust that adheres.
Never use your hands or cloth, blow with your mouth, or use other methods to
remove dust.
GO-5100MP-PGE
Secure manually.
Do not secure too tightly.
Phenomena specific to CMOS image sensors
The following phenomena are known to occur on cameras equipped with CMOS
image sensors. These do not indicate malfunctions.
• Aliasing
When shooting straight lines, stripes, and similar patterns, vertical aliasing
(zigzag distortion) may appear on the monitor.
• Blooming
When strong light enters the camera, some pixels on the CMOS image sensor
may receive much more light than they are designed to hold, causing the
accumulated signal charge to overflow into surrounding pixels.This
“blooming” phenomenon can be seen in the image, but does not affect the
operation of the camera.
• Fixed pattern noise
When shooting dark objects in high-temperature conditions, fixed pattern noise
may occur throughout the entire video monitor screen.
• Defective pixels
Defective pixels (white and black pixels) of the CMOS image sensor are
minimized at the factory according to shipping standards. However, as this
phenomenon can be affected by the ambient temperature, camera settings
(e.g., high sensitivity and long exposure), and other factors, be sure to operate
within the camera’s specified operating environment.
Notes on exportation
When exporting this product, please follow the export regulations of your country
or region.

・The diagonal of the camera’s CMOS image sensor is 11 mm, the size of
standard 2/3-inch lenses.
To prevent vignetting and to obtain the optimal resolution, use a lens
that will cover the 11 mm diagonal. Some lens manufacturers offer lenses with
an 11 mm format. If not, a 2/3-inch lens is recommended.
Caution
・The maximum performance of the camera may not be realized depending on the lens.
・Attaching a lens with a mount protrusion of 9 mm or longer may damage the lens or camera.

Note
The following formula can be used to estimate the focal length.
Focal length ＝ WD /（1 ＋ W/w）
WD ：Working distance （distance between lens and object）
W ：Width of object
w ：Width of sensor（8.5 mm on this camera）
② Direct connection（or MP-43 tripod adapter plate）
When mounting the camera directly to a wall or other device, use screws that match the
camera locking screw holes on the camera (M3, depth: 3 mm). Use the supplied screws to
attach the tripod adapter plate.
Caution
For heavy lenses, be sure to support the lens itself. Do not use configurations in which its weight
is supported by the camera.
③ LAN cable
Connect a LAN cable to the RJ-45 connector.
• Use a LAN cable that is Category 5e or higher (Category 6 recommended).
• When supplying power via PoE, connect to a PoE-compatible switching hub or a PoE-compatible
network card.
•Refer to the specifications of the cable for details on its bend radius.
Caution
Secure the locking screws on the connector
manually, and do not use a driver. Do not secure
the screws too tightly. Doing so may wear down the
screw threads on the camera. (Tightening torque:
0.147 Nm or less)
Secure manually.
Do not secure too tightly.
④ Network card
Install this in the computer that will be used to configure and operate the camera. As the
GO-5100MP-PGE supports PoE, you can also use PoE-compatible network cards. Refer to
the instruction manual of the network card, and configure settings on the computer as
necessary.
⑤ Computer
Use a computer that meets the following requirements.
Operating system (OS):
Microsoft Windows 7/8/10 32-bit/64-bit edition
CPU: Intel Core i3 or higher
Memory:
Windows 7/8/10 32-bit edition: DDR3, 4 GB or higher
Windows 7/8/10 64-bit edition: DDR3, 8 GB or higher
Graphics card: PCI-Express 3.0 or higher
Network card: We recommend using a network card that uses an Intel chip.

⑥ DC IN / trigger IN connection cable
⑦ AC adapter (power supply) (if necessary)
Connect the AC adapter and the round connector of the connection cable to the DC IN /
trigger IN connector on the camera.
Step 3: Verifying Camera Operation
When power is supplied to the camera while the necessary equipment is connected, the
POWER/TRIG LED at the rear of the camera lights amber, and initialization of the camera
starts.When initialization is complete, the POWER/TRIG LED lights green.
Verify whether power is being supplied to the camera and whether the camera is connected
to the network by checking the rear LEDs.

Note
Initialization of the camera will not complete unless it is connected to the network. If the
power / trigger LED does not switch to green within minutes of supplying power, check the
LAN cable and other connections. After initialization is completed once, the power / trigger
LED will remain green, even if the network is disconnected.
Step 4: Verifying the Connection between the Camera
and PC
