11
To ensure correct usage
•
To save electricity, be sure to turn off the power to the system when not in use.
•
This product is for indoor use. It cannot be used outside.
•
The product cannot be used and should not be installed in the following locations.
•
Locations subject to rain or water.
•
Locations with hot air or oil vapors, such as in kitchens, etc.
•
Locations where the allowed ambient operating temperature
(0°
C – 40°
C) is exceeded.
•
Locations with radiation, x-rays or where strong electrical or magnetic
waves are generated.
•
Locations with vibrations.
•
Locations with much dust.
•
Insufficient dissipation of heat from the unit may cause damage.
Never block or obstruct the ventilation around the unit.
•
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 ATW 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.
•
The electronic shutter of this unit is set to 1/60 sec from the factory. When
using the camera in locations with fluorescent light with a commercial
frequency of 50 Hz, please switch the setting to 1/100 sec. (The sensitivity
becomes slightly lower at the 1/100 sec. setting.)
•
Do not touch the lens cover directly with hands. A dirty cover will result in
reduced picture quality.
•
When panning and tilting the VN-C30U, 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.
•
Cleaning
•
Turn OFF the power before cleaning.
•
Wipe dirt off the lens cover using lens cloth (or paper). Depending on
the environment of use, dirt may accumulate in a short time. When very
dirty, moisten the lens cloth (or paper) with a neutral detergent diluted
with water.

VN-C30U Installation and Setup
Before starting installation and setup
It is necessary to set an IP address for each VN-C30U unit. Use the following
procedure for the setup of each unit. (If the power is not turned on, the
installation of multiple VN-C30U can be performed at one time.)
1. Install the VN-C30U
❉ In case of installation in a location where the power cannot easily be
turned on, complete steps 2 - 5 before step 1.
2. Connect the VN-C30U to the network, and set MODE SW as
outlined on the next page.
(The power to the VN-C30U should be ON.)
3. Set the VN-C30U IP address.
❉ When setting the VN-C30U IP address, be sure to contact the network
administrator for assignment or approval. When installing the second
and following units, reboot the PC and then return to step 2.
4. Enable the VN-C30U IP address.
(Turn the VN-C30U power off and then on again.)
5. Register the connection point.
❉ This registers the VN-C30U IP address data in the PC.

Connection to Ethernet
VN-C30U can be connected to both 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX network.
To ensure this, the factory setting is set to Auto Negotiation. However,
depending on the used HUB, the unit may fail to work at this setting. For this
reason the LAN connection setting switch "MODE SW" is provided on the
bottom of the VN-C30U main unit. If VN-C30U cannot be connected or motion
image are not smooth, change the settings of the "MODE SW" switch as
shown below to find the appropriate condition.
The maximum data rate for sending from VN-C30U is 4Mbit/s, but it
may not be possible to obtain smooth MPEG live images in the Half
Duplex mode. We recommend to select one of the following mode;
(1) 10BASE-T Full Duplex
(2) 100BASE-TX Full Duplex
(3) Auto Negotiation
(In the (3) Auto Negotiation mode, it is recommended that the HUB,
etc., to which VN-C30U is connected be a device for which the link
can be established in the above-mentioned condition (1) or (2).)

Installation and setup
1. Installation
Use the optional bracket (Model VN-BK30) for installation.
Make the power and network connections after completion of the installation work.
Caution
Install in a location with sufficient strength to prevent falling.
VN-C30U units can only be installed as shown in the diagram below, or
inverted. Do not install facing sideways.
Tilted installation is not possible.
1 Attach the ceiling fixer with the hole
pointing toward the front of the camera.
4 Mount the VN-C30U on the ceiling fixer
by rotating clockwise, then tighten the
screw of the camera body fixer.
2 Mount the camera body fixer
on the VN-C30U.
3 Attach the drop-prevention wire of the
ceiling fixer to the camera body fixer.

2. Connecting to the network
Turn on the power of only one VN-C30U unit.
When network connection is completed and the power is turned on, the
VN-C30U unit will be connected to the network at the following IP address.
Factory Default IP address 192. 168. 0. 2
•
About the power supply connection cable
• Length: 30m(98 feet) or less.
• Recommended model: UL1007, UL1015 or equivalent cable with wire
equivalent to ID AWG #20 or larger.
Caution
When shipped from the factory, the IP address of all VN-C30U units is set
to 192.168.0.2 Consequently, if multiple units are installed in the same
LAN environment and the power is turned ON at the same time, duplication
of IP addresses will occur and correct access will not be possible. Always
turn the power on for only one unit at a time. Once duplication of IP
addresses has occurred (and after confirming that only one VN-C30U
exists in the same LAN environment), wait a while (10 minutes or longer),
or turn off the power of all the network devices on the same LAN
environment, before turning the power ON again. If this is not done, it may
not be possible to access the VN-C30U.
