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.

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.
