Maintenance

●

Turn off the power before performing maintenance.

●

Wipe using a soft cloth. Wiping with thinner or benzene may melt or tarnish its

surface. For tough stains, wipe using a cloth that has been dipped into a neutral detergent diluted with water. Following that, wipe with a dry cloth.

Saving Energy

●

If the camera is not going to be used for a long period of time, turn off the power or the system for safety reasons and to conserve energy.

Others

●

This camera has a built-in AGC circuit. Setting AGC to "Mid" or "High" increases the sensitivity of a dark image, and the screen may appear grainy. This is not a malfunction.

●

When this camera is used with the white balance set to "ATW" (Auto Tracking White Balance), the color tone of some objects may differ slightly from the actual color due to the principle of the automatic tracking white balance circuit. This is not a malfunction.

●

The electric shutter of this camera is set to "1/30" by factory default. For regions with a commercial power frequency of 50 Hz, switch to the Flickerless mode during use under fluorescent lights (excluding inverter lighting equipment) to prevent flickers.

●

When the electronic sensitivity enhancement feature is enabled, the screen may appear grainy and more white spots may appear because the sensitivity is increased. However, this is not a malfunction.

●

If the power supply voltage is momentarily cut off or reduced due to lightning or the power supply to the air conditioner being turned on, the image may be disrupted or noise interference may occur.

●

When using multicast, make use of an IGMPv2compliant network switch.

●

Some hubs/switches of products that are equipped with intelligent features may include a broadcast/ multicast suppression function. If this function is enabled, viewing of multicast images on this camera may fail.

●

When the Easy Day and Night or Day and Night is set to "Auto", the image becomes black and white in dark locations. As the sensitivity level is increased in this case, the screen may appear grainy and more white spots may appear. When switching between color and black-and-white images, the brighter area on the screen is emphasized, which may reduce the visibility. However, this is not a malfunction.

●

It is recommended that shielded LAN cables be used to connect to this camera. The safety and reliability of this camera has been checked using shielded cables.

●

Under halogen lamps, light bulbs and other light sources that emit strong infrared light, black objects may look almost purple in the recording. It is an inherent characteristic of this camera and not a defect. (VN-H137BU)

●

During viewing using the Built-in Viewer, the video and audio may appear out of sync. This is not a malfunction (VN-H57U).

Audio cable connection

●

When connecting to a switching hub:

• Use a straight cable. When connecting to a computer:

• Use a crossing cable. A 100-meter or less length and Category-5 or higher

• grade STP (shielded) cable is recommended.

Note

•

The crossing cable may not be used for some computer models. Check the LAN specifications of the computer when you directly connect this unit to the computer.

Alarm I/O cable (VN-H57U)

●

A 50-meter or less length shielded cable is

• recommended.

(VN-H57U)

Connect the stereo mini jack cable (Φ 3.5). R channel (MIC IN) : Connect to a condenser microphone that has a plug-in power system.

L channel (LINE OUT) : Connect to a speaker that has a built-in amplifier.

Note

• Always connect an external mic to the R channel only. If you plug the mic jack directly into the [AUDIO IN/OUT] terminal, a loud noise may be generated.
