Introduction
Operating Precautions
m
Storage and Location of Use
v
Do not install the camera in the following places.
- In a place exposed to rain or moisture.
- In a place with vapor or oil, for example in a kitchen.
- When the ambient temperature rises above or falls below the
acceptable range (from -10 f to 50 f)
- In a place at which corrosive gases are emitted.
- Near a source of radiation, X-rays, strong radio waves or
magnetism.
- In a place, such as vehicle installation, which is subject to vibration.
- In a place with excessive dirt.
v
Using this unit in the vicinity of the transmitting antenna of a radio or
TV, devices that emit strong electromagnetic waves such as a
transformer or motor, or wireless devices such as a transceiver or
mobile phone may give rise to noises in the image and changes in its
color.
v
This camera has been designed for indoor use. When using it
outdoors, it is necessary to use an outdoor camera housing
(optional).
m
Maintenance
v
Wipe the camera with a dry, soft cloth to remove any dirt.
Do not use benzene or thinner to wipe the camera. Doing so may
melt the surface or cause it to fog. For tough stains, wipe with a
neutral detergent diluted with water, followed by wiping with a dry
cloth.
v
Replace the IR LED unit every 3 years if it is used for 8 hours per
day.
m
Energy Conservation
v
When the camera is not in use for a long time, turn off the power for
safety and energy conservation reasons.

Disclaimer
v
Motion detection is not a feature to prevent theft or fire. We do not
accept liability for any damages that may occur.
v
We will not be responsible for any inconveniences or disturbances
caused in the event of privacy invasion as a result of camera
footages of this product.
m
Others
v
When using this camera with [AGC] set to “MID” or “HIGH”, the
sensitivity increases automatically for dark images and the screen
may appear grainy, but this is not a malfunction.
v
When the DAY & NIGHT selector switch is set to “AUTO”, 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 modes, the brighter area
on the screen is emphasized and visibility may be reduced. However,
this is not a malfunction.
<Continued on the following page>
E-13
Introduction
Operating Precautions (Continued)
v
When shooting an extremely bright object (e.g. lamp), the image on
the screen may have white vertical tailings (smear) or expansion
(blooming) may appear around it. This is a characteristic of the CCD
and not a malfunction.
v
When the white balance of this camera is set to “ATW-N” or “ATW-W”
and depending on the conditions of the object, 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.
v
When this camera is used under high temperatures, vertical stripes
may appear on the screen. This is a characteristic of the CCD and
not a malfunction.
v
When this camera is moved from a cold to warm place, condensation
may occur and the camera may not work. In this case, leave the
camera under room temperature for about one hour before turning on
the power.
v
When the power supply voltage is momentarily disrupted or drops
due to lightning, turning on the air-conditioner or the like, image
distortion or noise may occur.
v
When the power supply voltage of the camera drops, the input
protection circuit inside the camera operates, and the camera may be
turned off. Make use of a voltage rating within ±10 % for the camera’s
power supply voltage.
v
The 3D noise reduction function of this camera may result in
afterimage of a moving subject. Afterimage is more likely to occur
when using the camera with [DNR LEVEL] set to “HIGH”. This is not
a malfunction.

Memo
Connecting the Monitor
Connect with a 75 K coaxial cable (BNC) such as RG-59 or equivalent.
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. 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 camera to
below 10 %. If voltage drop occurs during operation, the
performance will be unstable.
v
Do not connect an AC 24 V cable to a commercial power
supply. If it is connected by mistake, the internal circuit may
be damaged. Sent the camera to the nearest JVC service
center for inspection as the internal circuit may be damaged.
v
Do not connect DC 12 V and AC 24 V cables at the same
time.
v
When using a DC 12 V power supply, ensure that the
polarities of the cable are correct.

Fall Prevention
v
Special attention is required when installing the camera to the wall or
ceiling. You should not engage in the installation work yourself. Ask a
professional to do the job. Otherwise, injuries or accidents may occur
if the camera falls.
v
When installing the camera on a fixer, pan/tilt unit and the like, make
sure to install it firmly using a rotation-preventive hole to prevent fall.
v
To prevent fall, connect the camera to a section with sufficient
strength (ceiling slab or channel) using a fall prevention wire.
v
Pay attention to the length, strength, routing and material (insulation
properties) of the fall prevention wire used.
v
Use the screw (M3 x 6 mm) on the back of the camera for the
installation of the fall prevention wire. Do not use a screw that is
longer than 6 mm as it may damage the internal parts.
.
When mounting the camera to the ceiling, ensure to wear
