Introduction
Characteristics
The camera uses a high-resolution
380,000 pixel, high-Senstivity CCD to realize
high picture quality with horizontal resolution of 540 TV lines.
Frame Rate
Supports a maximum frame rate of 30 fps
when resolution is 640 x 480 in the JPEG compression format.
Supports Multicast
Support for multicast enables sending of an
image data to multiple PCs on the network at one time without lowering the frame rate.
Operating Precautions
To save energy, turn off the power supply of
the system when not in use.
This camera is intended for indoor use. It
cannot be used outdoors.
Do not install or use the camera in the
following locations.
• Places exposed to rain or water
• Places containing vapor or oil soot, such as kitchens
Places exceeding the operating ambient temperature range (0
•Places where corrosive gases are generated
• Places nearby radiation or X-rays as well as sources of strong radio waves or magnetism
• Places subject to vibration
• Places with excessive dust
Insufficient ventilation may cause the camera
to malfunction. Be careful not to block ventilation around the camera.
This camera radiates heat from its surfaces (top panel facing ceiling and side panel). Do not install at a location that may trap heat, such as near the walls.
Do not install at a location that may expose the
camera directly to cool air, such as nearby the air outlet of air conditioners. This may cause moisture to condense within the dome cover.
6
˚
to 40˚)
Built-in CF (Compact Flash) Slot
Interface with alarms and enables storage of
a recording file in the CF card. Please purchase the CF card separately.
Motion Detection Feature
Enables output of alarm upon detecting
motion of images within a specified area.
Built-in Web Server
Enables browsing using the Internet Explorer.
Dew condensation may occur when there is
a drastic change in the ambient temperature of the camera, hence causing a malfunction. When the camera is installed at such locations, turn on the power after allowing it to dry for a few hours.
Do not point the camera lens at a strong light
source such as the sun. Doing so may cause the camera to malfunction.
This camera contains a built-in AGC circuit.
As a result, gain increases at dark places and screen may appear grainy. This is not a malfunction.
When an equipment that generates a strong
magnetic field, such as transceivers, is used near this camera with the AGC turned on, beat noises may appear in the image. When using a transceiver, therefore, place it at least 3 m away from this camera.
If this camera or cable connected this unit is
used near a location where strong electrical or magnetic waves are generated (eg. radios, TVs, transformers, monitors, etc.), noise interference may occur in the image or its color may be affected.
When this camera is used in the White Balance
(ATW) mode, the colors captured may differ slightly from the actual colors due to the operational principles of the auto-tracking white balance circuit. This is not a malfunction.
When shooting a bright object (eg. lamps,
etc.), white vertical streaks may appear on the object on the screen. This is a phenomenon (smear phenomenon) normal to CCDs (solid-state image pickup devices) and is not a malfunction.
The dome cover is hemispherical in shape, and
therefore images tend to be distorted at the edges of the hemisphere. The edges of the hemisphere is masked for this camera. When the camera is tilted and pointed in the horizontal direction, therefore, edges of the hemisphere may enter the angle of view, hence causing the upper end of the screen to appear dark and the image to go out of focus.
When shooting an object that is near a light
source (eg. lightings) or with a large difference in brightness, ghosting may occur on the screen. This phenomenon is due to the characteristics of the dome cover and built-in lens and is not a malfunction.
Ensure to use the Converter Unit that has
been supplied. Certain Hubs/switches that are equipped with
the SNMP feature may come with a broadcast or multicast control function. Proper viewing of multicast images created by this camera may not be possible if this function is enabled.
Do not touch the dome cover with your hand.
This may dirty the cover and cause the image quality to deteriorate.
To clean the camera.
• Do so upon turning off the power.
• Use a lens cloth (or paper) to remove dirt from the dome cover. The camera may acquire dirt over a short period of time, depending on the environment of use.
When there is excessive dirt, wipe using a lens cloth (or paper) upon wetting it in a neutral detergent diluted with water.
If the D/N switch is turned on, the mode
changes automatically to black and white in dark places. As the sensitivity increases, the image may look grainy and white spots may appear. When changing modes, bright portions of image may be emphasized but this is not a failure of the camera.
The unit is to be powered by a DC 12 V or an
AC 24 V power supply. The AC 24 V power supply should conform to
the following : Class 2 only (For USA), Isolated power supply only (For Europe).
The rating label is displayed on the underside of the body.
JVC will not be liable for any damage resulting from the camera dropping due to incomplete installation by not following the installation instructions. Take caution when performing installation.
Before starting an important recording, be sure to perform a test recording in order to confirm that a normal recording is possible.
We do not accept liability for the loss of a recording in the case of it becoming impossible to record due to a problem in the video camera, VCR or video tape.
We do not accept liability for any damage to the camera in cases when it is dropped because of incomplete installation due to not observing the installation instructions correctly. Please be careful when installing the camera.
Read Me
Please read through the "Read Me" file in the
CD-ROM together with this instruction manual.
Image sending may be affected when this is
done on a network where multicast transmission devices are connected, or on networks for which there is transmission of voluminous broadcast data. When this occurs, ensure to employ a system design that separates the camera from other multicast or broadcast devices by making use of a switching valve or VLAN with a multicast control function.
When using the local recording feature with
a CF card, turning off the power during local recording may damage the file. To prevent damage of the file, make use of a UPS (uninterruptible power supply).
Warning
Install at places that are strong enough to support the camera weight.
Install this camera at places that are strong enough to support its weight upon taking into consideration the vibration force during high-speed rotation as well as its mass (approx. 1.0 kg). For ceiling materials that are weak, such as overlay plywood and plaster boards, reinforce by applying reinforcements (veneer plywood). If reinforcement is inadequate, image on the monitor screen may be blurred due to vibrations. In the worst scenario, it may even fall and cause serious injuries if there is someone underneath.

2. Installation (Continued)
Connection of the Input Power Cable
Be careful of the following items when connecting the cables.
•Turn OFF the power supply to all components before making connections.
To video Signal Cable
To DC 12 V or AC 24 V Power Supply
Conductor diameter (mm)
Maximum extension
Cautions
• If thin cables are used (i.e. with a high resistance), a significant voltage drop will occur when the unit is at its maximum power consumption. Either use a thick cable to restrict the voltage drop at the camera side to below 10%, or place the power supply near to the camera. If voltage drop occurs during operation, the performance will be unstable.
• Do not allow input from both a DC 12 V and AC 24 V power supply at the same time.
• When using a DC 12 V power supply, ensure that the polarities of the cable are correct.
• The AC 24 V power supply should conform to the following: For USA : Class 2 only For Europe : Isolated power supply only
Note
Connecting multiple VN-C205 Cameras
In a system where more than 1 VN-C205 is used, turn on the power for a VN-C205 first, followed by setting the camera until "2-3 Setting IP Address for this Camera Using the 'VN-C205U Setup Tool' " is completed. Upon doing so, turn on a second camera and perform setting in the same way. Perform the same procedure for subsequent cameras.
• Default IP address setting for all VN-C205 cameras is 198.168.0.2. When the power for multiple cameras are turned on at one time under a single LAN environment, therefore, proper access may not be established due to IP address redundancy. Do not turn on the power of more than 1 camera at the same time.
• When IP address redundancy occurs, ensure that only one VN-C205 exists under a single LAN environment, and wait for some time (at least 10 minutes). In some cases, the power for all network devices under the same LAN environment may have to be turned off and on again to enable access to VN-C205.
22
DC 12 V or AC 24 V Input power cable
Connect the DC 12 V or the AC 24 V power supply to the DC 12 V/AC 24 V terminals on the terminal board. To prevent connection er­rors or a cable disconnection, we recommend the use of lug plates for the connections. The following table shows the connection dis­tances and connection cables provided that 2­conductor VVF cables (vinyl-insulated vinyl sheath cables) are used.

The area display position only serves as a guide. Ensure to perform operation check.
Each screen is divided into 300 (20x15) blocks. Adjust the zoom ratio of the lens such that the
object for which motion is to be detected is at least the size of multiple blocks.
Cautions
Flickering lights may cause false detections in motion when the camera is connected.
When brightness varies due to the use of the auto iris function or lighting conditions, this may
be detected as motion. In this case, it is recommended that the detection time be set to a value other than "0".
Note that the motion detection function is not designed to prevent theft or fire. It may not function properly under certain object or setting conditions. We shall not be responsible for any accident or losses incurred.

"Change the Recording Frame Rate during trigger recording", followed by selecting the frame rate accordingly.
Default frame rate is set at 10 fps. A frame rate of 10
fps for recording will be used when this box is not checked. (Set values: 30, 15, 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
Note
During local recording to CF cards, the frame rate is also dependent on the performance of the CF card in use. When the size of each recording file exceeds 8 MB (equivalent to a frame rate of 30 fps over a duration of about 8 seconds when the size of each image is 33 KB), frames may be dropped.
For setting the recording time.
3
This can be set up to 30 seconds before and 60
seconds after the alarm input.
Cautions
[Before trigger] and [After trigger] values cannot
be set to "0" at the same time.
Due to the memory capacity of VN-C205, recording time set for [Before trigger] and [After trigger] may differ from the actual maximum recording time.
(Example)
At a resolution of 640 x 480 (10 fps) when the size of each image is 40 KB, the actual maximum recording times are as follows:
Without CF card :5seconds before trigger / 10
With CF card : 20 seconds before trigger / 60
For setting the priority.

such that recording can be performed according to the specified recording time.
Setting the [Advance] screen
For setting the recording action when the
5
memory capacity of the CF card is full. One of the following actions can be selected. (Internal memory capacity is 8 MB.)
• Stop recording until an availability is made in the CF card.
• Remove old files that have exceeded a specific number of days. (If the number of days is set to "0", files will be deleted starting with the oldest one.)
Caution
When record setting that exceeds the recording capacity is performed with [Remove old files] set to "0 days", recorded files will not be retained. To retain the files, change the value for [Remove old files] or alter the record settings.
Notes
Recording time
While maximum recording time varies with the recording frame rate and image size, recording over a specified length of time may not be possible depending on the compression level and object.
Recording files
A trigger-recording file is created each time a trigger occurs. If successive triggers occur over a continuous period of time, these will be recorded into 1 file. The maximum size of each recording file id 80 MB. Recording will stop upon exceeding 80 MB.
Caution
Loading local recording images to the PC Rec files containing local recording images may also be uploaded automatically to the FTP
server. ( Perform the following procedure to load local recording images to the PC.

Note
Password Protection VN-C205 is equipped with an access protection feature using a password to restrict browsers
(users) that are connected. The access protection function is divided into 3 levels according to the authorization levels. Pages that can be accessed (browsed) for each authorization level are as follows. (Refer to Page 73 for the configuration of web pages in VN-C205.)
Authorization Level Allowed Access User Level Still or motion image pages only Operator Level Web pages except the Settings page Administrator Level All web pages
Cautions
Unless a correct Administrator level password is entered, password settings cannot be undone or changed. Please make sure that you do not forget the password.
If passwords are only set for the User and Operator levels and not for the Administrator level, password entry will not be requested.
When the IP address, subnet mask, host name or HTTP port settings are changed, a confirmation screen indicating "Are you sure to reset to enable the changes?" will appear. Upon clicking [OK] on this confirmation screen, VN-C205 will be reset internally and settings such as the IP address will be changed. The IP address before change (factory setting) will be disabled and connection to VN-C205 will be cut off upon the reset operation.
When the web browser is left unoperated for some time, a message will appear indicating that connection cannot be established. This is due to the change in the IP address. (The same message will also appear when the port number is changed.)
