of this product. Be sure not to block vents around the product. This product discharges heat from the surface of the main unit.

䢇

Do not install it at locations directly subjected to cold air such as near the vents of air-conditioners or at locations with high temperature. Condensation may occur inside the dome cover.

䢇

Use of this product and cables connected to this product at locations where strong electric waves and magnetic waves are generated (e.g., near radio, TV, transformer, monitor, etc.) may cause noise interferences in the images or changes in the color.

Others

䢇

Do not subject the lens to strong light source such as sun rays. This may cause the equipment to malfunction.

䢇

This camera comes with a built-in AGC circuit. The sensitivity increases automatically at a dark place and the screen may appear grainy. This is not a malfunction.

䢇

While AGC is activated, if a transceiver which causes strong electromagnetic wave is used near the camera, the picture may suffer from beat. Please use the camera more than three meters away from such transceivers.

䢇

When automatic iris is selected, the Iris Control button may not work depending on the brightness of the screen (when the amount of light is not sufficient). In this case, set the iris to Manual.

䢇

When automatic iris is selected and AGC is ON, even if the iris setting can be changed with the Iris Control button, the Sense Up function will be enabled and the brightness of the screen may not change. In this case, set AGC to OFF or set the iris to Manual.

䢇

When this camera is used in the White Balance

AT W- N a rr o wB, AAT W- W i deB (automatic adjustment) mode, the color tone may differ slightly from the actual color due to the principle of the automatic tracking white balance circuit. This is not a

malfunction.

䢇

If a high brightness object (such as a lamp) is shot, the image on the screen may have white vertical tailings. This phenomenon (smear) is characteristic of solid-state image sensors and is not a malfunction.

䢇

Do not touch the dome cover with your hands. Dirty covers will cause image deterioration.

䢇

Do not subject the dome cover to strong impact. It may result in damage and water seepage.

䢇

Do not connect an AC 24 V cable to AC 110 V/AC 230 V power supply. The camera internal circuit will be damaged. Should that happens, do not use the camera. Bring it to your nearest JVC dealer for repair. (charged separately)

䢇

To supply AC 24 V, use an AC 24 V supplying power unit that is insulated from AC 110 V/AC 230 V line.

Getting Started

Precautions (continued)

䢇

If you sense that the focus has become unclear due to temperature changes, use the Auto Foucua(AF) function or reset the focus manually.

Others (continued)

䢇

Depending on the stop position and rotation speed of the horizontal/vertical rotation platform, the running sound of the rotation platformfs motor may be heard, but this is not a malfunction.

䢇

When using multicast, make use of a IGMPv2compliant network switch.

䢇

Some hubs/switches of products that are equipped with intelligent features may include a broadcast/ multicast suppression function. Viewing of multicast images on this product may fail if this function is enabled.

䢇

The electronic shutter of this product is set to 1/60 by default. For regions with a commercial power supply frequency of 50 Hz, switch to the 1/100 during use under fluorescent lights (excluding inverter lighting equipment) to prevent flickers.

䢇

When the B&W mode is set to AAutoB, the image turns black-and-white in a dark location. As the sensitivity level is increased in this case, the screen may appear grainy and more white spots may appear. When switching between color and black-and-white images, the brighter area on the screen is emphasized, which may reduce the visibility. However, this is not a malfunction.

䢇

If the power supply voltage is momentarily cut off or reduced due to lightning or turning on of the air conditioner’s power, the image may be disrupted or noise interference may occur.

䢇

As the dome cover is of a semiglobular shape, image distortion will occur at the hemispherical edge. When the hemispherical edge of this unit is masked and horizontal level is shot in a tilt direction, the hemispherical edge will enter the field angle. This may cause the upper edge of the screen to become black and the focus unclear. In this case, you can avoid shooting the above area by using the tilt limit settings (

䢇

When shooting objects with a luminance difference or near a light source, ghost may occur on the screen. This is a feature of the dome cover and the built-in lens, and is not a malfunction.

䢇

In particular, manual and auto pan operation near the TELE edge (telephoto side) may cause the screen to vibrate (unsmooth rotation). This is a feature of the motor and is not a malfunction.

䢇

As long magnification lens is used in this product, the focus may be unclear due to temperature changes but this is not a malfunction.

䢇

Preset the focus under an environment with a temperature closest to that in your actual usage. If the temperature change is large and the focus becomes unclear, preset the focus again before using the product.

emo:

●

After DHCP timeout, all IP addresses of camera are set to 192.168.0.2 by default. If the power of multiple cameras within the same LAN environment are turned on at the same time, the IP addresses of the cameras overlap, thus preventing proper access. As such, make sure to turn on the power of the cameras one by one.

●

In a system where multiple units of camera are used, turn on the power of only one unit to configure the IP address settings using the Internet Explorer. Upon doing so, turn on the power of the second unit and configure accordingly. Configure the subsequent camera settings using the same procedure.

●

When there is an overlap of IP address, access to the camera may fail. When this occurs, turn on the power of only one camera unit within the same LAN environment and wait for a while (at least 10 minutes). Alternatively, turn off the power of all network devices connected to the same LAN environment, followed by turning them on again.

Note:

●

If thin cables are used, the resistance of the cables will be high and a significant voltage drop will occur when the camera is at its maximum power consumption (when pan, tilt and zoom operates at the same time). Either use a thick cable with low resistance or place the power supply near to the camera and shorten the length of the cable to restrict the voltage drop at the rated current of the camera to below 10 %. If voltage drops during operation, the camera may experience unstable performance and be unable to call up the preset position correctly.

●

Turn on the power only after the connection for all the devices is complete.

●

After the power is turned on and activation is completed, this product will move to the home position. The default home position settings for pan, tilt, and zoom are 1.00 °, 45 °, and x1 respectively.

Network Setting

Network Requirements

● Ensure that there is sufficient network

bandwidth for the data volume to be sent out by the camera. Do not send multicast stream that exceeds the bandwidth. If the entire bandwidth is used by the multicast stream, control of this camera via the network may fail.

● Data volume to be sent by the camera varies

with the settings and number of distributions.

● The maximum bit rate for transmission is about

20 Mbps.

Estimation of Total Bit Rate

The total JPEG bit rate from the camera is determined by the camera settings, number of clients, and the client’s requested number of frames. The total MPEG4 bit rate from the camera is determined by the number of distributions. Develop a design upon taking the above into consideration.

Bit Rate of JPEG Stream

The JPEG file size per frame varies with the encoding settings as well as input video signals. The following table may be used as a reference.

䡵 AFS (Average File Size)

When AFS is selected, encoding will be performed such that the target file size is the average size of multiple JPEG images.

Selectable between 10 KB to 100 KB

䡵 VFS(Variable File Size)

When VFS is selected, the quantization table during JPEG encoding will be maintained, and the file size will increase/decrease according to the input signals.

1 (High)

4 (Medium)

7 (Low)

Selectable between 3 KB to 33 KB

VGA QVGA

80 KB 27 KB

60 KB 20 KB

40 KB 13 KB

30 KB 10 KB

25 KB 8 KB

20 KB 7 KB

15 KB 5 KB

The maximum number of distributions varies with the bit rate settings as well as the client’s requested frame rate. Up to 20 streams can be distributed (including multicast). The total frame rate refers to the sum of these frame rates. For example, when 10 fps is requested by two clients, and in addition, multicast is transmitted at a rate of 10 fps, the total frame rate will be:

10 +10 +10 = 30 fps

If the JPEG file size per frame is 30 KB, then the total bit rate will be:

30 KB × 30 fps = 900 KB/s = Approx. 7.2 Mbps

Network Setting

Network Requirements (continued)

Bit Rate of MPEG4 Stream

You can select either the Variable Bit Rate (VBR) or Constant Bit Rate (CBR) system for MPEG4 stream. When the VBR system is selected, the bit rate varies according to the condition of the input video signals. The VBR system delivers a stable picture quality, but forecast of the bit rate is difficult. When the CBR system is selected, encoding is performed at a fixed bit rate regardless of the condition of the input video signals. The picture quality varies under the CBR system, but the bit rate can be easily forecast. You can specify an estimated bit rate for both VBR and CBR. (64 kbps to 8000 kbps)

Restrictions on the Number of Distributions for Camera

The maximum number of distributions for this unit is determined by the settings as well as requirements from the client. When only JPEG images are distributed, the maximum number of distributions is determined based on the highest bit rate within the stream. When a distribution request that exceeds the maximum number of distributions is received, this request is denied. For example, if Client A requests for and receives data at 1 Mbps, while Client B requests for and receives data at 5 Mbps, the maximum number of distributions is 4 streams according to the table below.

Insufficient network bandwidth

When there is insufficient bandwidth, the number of JPEG frames (frame rate) that the client can acquire will decrease. Delay will also occur in the distribution of images. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.

Network Delay

When the client acquires JPEG via TCP, the camera will send out data while checking the ACK from the client at the same time. For networks with considerable delay, data cannot be sent out until ACK is received, and therefore the frame rate will drop. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail. Decrease in the frame rate due to network delays can be eliminated by receiving data via multicast.

Network Jitter

When there is considerable network jitter, delay time may be prolonged and the image frame rate may drop. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.

Packet Loss

When acquiring images from this unit via TCP, packet loss may be recovered by TCP retransmission. When there is considerable delay in the network, however, missing data may occur and the image frame rate may drop. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail. When packet loss occurs during multicast sending from this unit, the image frame rate may drop. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.

exposure time. You can specify the number of times by which the sensitivity level is to be increased automatically when the object becomes dark. When Ax32B is selected, the sensitivity is changed dynamically up to 32 times (as compared to the AOffB mode) to fit to current darkness. When sensitivity increases, the shutter speed becomes slower and hence, movement becomes unnatural. When set to AOffB, Sense Up is disabled.

To enable FTP transfer to a directory below the home directory, set the corresponding directory name in [Directory]. Delimit the directory using A/B.

Example: subdir1/subdir2 Destination directory of FTP transfer will be dependent on the FTP server if

A/B is added at the beginning. Setting [Periodic FTP] to AOnB enables transfer of the latest JPEG images to the FTP server at regular intervals. Specify the interval in seconds for [Periodic FTP Interval].

File name: Select a type from the two types of periodic FTP file names. When AAutoB is selected, file names are generated from the year, month,

day, hour, minute, second, and number. Example: 20071114161032-001-2.jpg

[User-defined-name]

Example: Camera1_20071114161032001.jpg

The name of the file to be transmitted via FTP is made up of the action number, year, month, day, hour, minute, second, number and trigger flag.

Example: 01-20070711152904-001-0.jpg The first two digits are the action number, and the following 14 digits denote

the year, month, day, hour, minute and second. The three digits after the first hyphen is the number of the series of JPEG files to be sent via the FTP. The number starts from A000B.
