Introduction
Characteristics
䡵 High-speed Rotating Table
High-speed rotating table with a horizontal
panning speed of 300˚/sec and vertical tilting
speed of 180˚/sec makes it possible to recall
a preset position quickly.
䡵 Optical + Electronic zooming
The 25X optical zoom lens and 10X electronic
zoom circuitry allows the camera to be used
even in surveillance situations in which the
object is very small.
䡵 Day/Night Surveillance
When the light is low, the camera is able to switch
automatically to the high-sensitive (Black &
White) mode by turning ON/OFF the IR filter.
It also supports infrared illuminators
(wavelength of 850 nm to 880 nm).
䡵 Employment of a highly-sensitive CCD
and bright zoom lens
Employment of a highly-sensitive CCD and
bright zoom lens with a maximum aperture
ratio of F1.6 (at the Wide end) produces a
highly sensitive color mode of 2.0 lx (AGC:
20 dB, 50%).
Operating Precautions
䡵 Frame Rate
Supports a maximum frame rate of 30 fps
when resolution is 640 x 480 in the JPEG
compression format.
䡵 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.
䡵 DSP with a wide dynamic range
Even objects that have a large difference in
brightness can be monitored clearly.
䡵 Private Mask Feature
This feature enables setting to mask a certain
portion of the shooting area if it is to be
hidden.
䡵 Motion Detection Feature
Enables output of alarm upon detecting
motion of images within a specified area.
䡵 Built-in Web Server
Enables browsing using the Internet Explorer.
䡵 To save energy, turn off the power supply of
the system when not in use.
䡵 This camera is intended for indoor use. It
cannot be used outdoors.
䡵
This camera has been designed for suspension
from ceilings. Fixing it to the ground surface or
at an angle may cause malfunction or shorten
the product's service life.
䡵 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
䡵 Insufficient ventilation may cause the camera
to malfunction. Be careful not to block
ventilation around the camera.
This camera radiates heat from its surfaces
6
˚
to 40˚)
(top panel facing ceiling and side panel). Do
not install at a location that may trap heat,
such as near the walls.
䡵
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.
䡵 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.
䡵 Do not point the camera lens at a strong light
source such as the sun. Doing so may cause
the camera to malfunction.
䡵 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.
䡵
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.
䡵 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.
䡵 When the AGC circuit is on, brightness of
the screen may not change upon switching
the Auto Iris mode (Normal, + or -) using the
V.Networks Controller. This is due to the
automatic gain boost feature that is activated.
In this case, set AGC to OFF or use the
manual iris mode.
䡵
Under certain brightness conditions,
switching the Auto Iris mode (Normal, + or -)
using the V.Networks Controller may not bring
about any change in brightness. In this case,
set the iris to the manual mode.
䡵
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.
䡵 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.
䡵 When the camera is used to monitor the
same position over prolonged hours (such
as 24 hours of continuous monitoring),
contact resistance of the panning mechanism
may increase. This may cause noise
interference in the image or unstable
operation of the V.Networks Controller. To
prevent this from occurring, turn the power
of the system off and on again (to initialize
camera) once a week and clean the contacts.
䡵
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.
䡵 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.
䡵 Ensure to use the Converter Unit that has
been supplied.
䡵 When playing back images by connecting a
coaxial cable to the VIDEO OUT terminal,
the image on the screen may appear shaky
(rotational motions are not smooth) when
using the Manual or Auto Pan operation
particularly near the Tele end. This
phenomenon is due to the characteristics of
the motor and is not a malfunction.
䡵
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.
䡵 Do not touch the dome cover with your hand.
This may dirty the cover and cause the image
quality to deteriorate.
䡵 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.
䡵 Do not connect cameras other than VN-C655
to the ceiling mount. Doing so may cause the
camera to malfunction.
䡵 Consumable Parts
The following parts are consumable. Please
replace them accordingly after a certain number
of hours or count of operations. The service lives
given below are only reference values and may
vary according to the operating environment and
conditions. Note that replacement of consumable
parts is chargeable even within the warranty period.
• Zoom lens assembly
Zooming operation
Focusing operation
• Slip rings : Approx. 5 million
• Cooling fan : Approx. 30,000 hours
:2 million times
:4 million times
operations
䡵 Zooming operation
Focus may deviate slightly upon stopping of a
zoom operation near the Tele end manually or
using a preset selection.
In addition, the manual zooming operation
may not always be smooth.
These phenomena are due to the
characteristics of the built-in lens and are not
malfunctions.

Introduction
Operating Precautions (continued)
䡵 Auto Focus
Although this camera comes with the one-push
auto focus and EASY AF auto focus features, auto
focusing may sometimes be impossible
depending on the object and camera settings.
When this occurs, adjust the focus manually.
Objects for which auto focusing is
difficult
• When brightness of the screen is extremely
high (bright)
• When brightness of the screen is extremely
low (dark)
• When brightness of the screen varies
continuously (eg. flashing lights, etc.)
• When there is poor contrast
• When vertical stripe patterns recur on the
screen
Camera settings for which auto focusing
is difficult
• When the AGC gain level increases and the
screen becomes grainy
• When SENSE UP is activated and the image
contains only little motion.
䡵 Read Me
Please read through the "Read Me" file in the
CD-ROM together with this instruction
manual.
䡵 Preset Positions
• The is a total of 100 preset positions that
can be set, including the home position.
• The TILT position can be set and operated
only between 0° to 90° even when the item
“FLIP” is set to ON.
䡵 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.
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. 2.2 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.

Notes
Connecting multiple VN-C655 Cameras
In a system where more than 1 VN-C655 is used, turn on the power for a VN-C655 first, followed
by setting the camera until "2-3 Setting IP Address for this Camera Using the 'VN-C655U 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-C655 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-C655 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-C655.
