Operating Environment
The environment described below is necessary for operation of the VN-C3WU.
A personal computer running the following WWW browser software:
WWW browser software that is compatible with JavaScript or Frame. Netscape 4.0 or
higher, or Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher, is required.
CPU performance and memory capacity should be the recommended values for the
WWW browser software used. To ensure the smooth display of animated images on a
large screen, these values should be even larger than those recommended.
Also, images from the camera will not be correctly displayed in the 256-color mode,
etc.
• In the case of Internet Explorer, an environment in which JAVA can be executed
correctly is necessary.
LAN environment
The VN-C3WU operates as a web browser using HTTP protocol.
Access linking by host name is possible with an environment able to use DNS (Domain
Name System).
Caution
The standard used for connection to the VN-C3WU is 10BASE-T.
The VN-C3WU and a personal computer can be connected directly at 1: 1 by using
cross cables. (Although rare, the use of cross cables is not possible with some LAN
boards.)

To ensure correct usage
● When installing, avoid the following.
• Locations subject to rain and water.
• Locations where the ambient temperature exceeds the range of 0 - 40
(recommended) degrees C.
• Locations with vibration.
• Locations with excessive dust, oil or gas.
● When this product is used with AGC on (Auto on), the sensitivity will be
increased automatically in dark places, so the screen may flicker in some
cases. This is not a malfunction.
● When this product is used with Auto on, in some cases the recorded colors
may differ slightly from the natural colors due to the principle of the automatic
tracking color balance circuit.
● When any bright object such as a lamp, etc., is photographed, white bands
may appear above and below the bright object. This is called smearing, a
phenomenon caused by the characteristics of the individual pixels, and is
not a malfunction.
● When panning and tilting the VN-C3WU, do not apply force to any part
other than the body because this could result in damage or a malfunction.
● Use caution to avoid catching on the sensor insert button of the alarm
input/output jack. In case this happens and disconnection from the alarm
input/output jack occurs, return to the original location and use there.

VN-C3WU Installation and Setup
Before starting installation and setup
It is necessary to set an IP address for each VN-C3WU unit. Use the following procedure for the
setup of individual units. (If the power is not turned on, the installation operation can be performed
at one time.)
1. Install the VN-C3WU.
Only in cases of installation in a location where the power cannot easily be turned on,
complete steps 2 to 4 before installing.
2. Connect the VN-C3WU to a network.
(With the VN-C3WU power turned on.)
3. Set the VN-C3WU IP address.
When setting the VN-C3WU IP address, be sure to contact the network manager for
assignment or approval.
4. Alarm IN/OUT connection.
5. VN-C3WU access test.
This test is performed after any change to confirm the IP address.

2. Connecting to a network
Turn on the power of only one VN-C3WU unit.
When network connection is completed and the power is turned on, the
VN-C3WU unit will be connected to the network at the following IP address.
Factory set (Default) IP address 192. 168. 0. 2
❉ Use a straight cable when
connecting to a hub.
Use a cross cable when
connecting directly to a PC.
Power supply connection cable
● About the power supply connection cable
• Length: 30m or less.
• Recommended model: UL1007, UL1015 or equivalent cable with wire
equivalent to ID AWG #20 or larger.
Caution
All VN-C3WU units are set to the same IP address at the factory; therefore,
if the power of multiple VN-C3WU units is turned on at the same time,
address duplication will occur and correct access will not be possible. Always
turn the power on for only one unit at a time. If address duplication occurred,
perform the proper processing and wait for 10 min. or more, or turn off the
power of all units on the network and then turn the power on again;
otherwise, correct access may not be possible.
Caution
VN-C3WU unit is intended to be Supplied by a Listed Direct Plug-In Power
Unit marked “Class 2” and rated from 11 to 15 V dc, 2 to 2.5 A.

● Cable connection and disconnection
Press the sensor insert button when connecting and disconnecting cables.
After connecting or disconnecting, make sure the sensor insert button
returns to its original position.
● About the alarm IN/OUT connection cables
• Length: use cables with a length of 50m or less.
• Recommended model: UL1007, UL1015 or equivalent cable with wire
equivalent to AWG #22 - AWG #18.
Caution
External noise may affect the alarm working properly even with a cable
length of 50m or less. In such cases, it is necessary to either change to the
use of shielded cable to prevent influence by noise or to change the wiring
route to avoid passing close to the source of the noise.
