Safety precautions
The power rating is AC 24 V, 50/60 Hz/PoE (VN-H257VPU) or PoE (VN-H237VPU). Use the correct voltage.
Always use the AC 24 V power source that is insulated from the primary power supply. (VN-H257VPU)
A level of supplied power that exceeds the ratings may result in failures, smoke or fire. If the camera breaks
down, turn off the power and contact our service center immediately.
If a level of power that exceeds the ratings is supplied, the internal components may be damaged even if no
abnormalities are observed in the appearance and/or operation of the camera. Contact our service center
immediately to arrange for an inspection (charged separately).

Operating Precautions
Storage and Operating Environment
Do not install the camera in the following environments.
●
Doing so may result in malfunctions or failure.
Hot or cold locations beyond the allowable operating
•
temperature range (-10 °C to 50 °C).
Locations beyond the allowable operating humidity
•
range (20 %RH to 90 %RH) (no condensation allowed).
Near equipment that emits strong magnetic fields,
•
such as transformers or motors.
Near equipment that emits radio waves, such as
•
transceivers and mobile phones.
Locations in which excessive dust or sand exist.
•
Locations that are subject to excessive vibration.
•
Special environment where a flammable atmosphere
•
is present.
•
Locations that may contain steam or oil, such as kitchens.
•
Locations that are subject to radiation emissions,
X-rays or corrosive gases.
•
Locations where chemicals are used, such as
swimming pools.
Use of this camera and cables connected to this
●
camera at locations where strong electrical or
magnetic waves are generated (e.g. near a radio, TV,
transformer, monitor, etc.) may result in images being
affected by noise interference or colors being changed.
Do not install this camera at locations where cold
●
air is circulated, such as near the air vent of an air
conditioner. The drastic change in temperature may
fog up the dome cover.
Do not install this camera at a location that traps heat.
●
This camera discharges heat from the surface of the
main unit. Do not install it at locations that may trap
heat, such as wall corners.
This camera is IP66 compliant. However, we do not
●
guarantee that water has no harmful effects in all
environments.
Handling Precautions
Do not block the vents.
●
Inadequate heat ventilation may cause this camera to
malfunction. Be sure not to block the vents around the
camera.
Copyright Protection
With the exception of the user being the copyright
●
holder or when permission such as for duplication has
been granted by the copyright holder, permission is
required in principle to duplicate, modify or transmit
copyrighted material.
Unauthorized duplication, modification or transmission
●
of copyrighted material may constitute a copyright
infringement, and the user may be liable to pay

Maintenance
●
Turn off the power before performing maintenance.
Wipe off dirt on the dome cover with a lens-cleaning
●
cloth (or soft cloth). For dirt that cannot be easily
removed, wipe using a neutral detergent diluted with
water. Following that, wipe with a dry cloth. Do not use
thinner or benzene. The surface of the dome cover
may dissolve or fog up.
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.
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 has
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.
●
The rotation angle of this camera is increased to
enable installation at a wider variety of locations. When
the lens is at the wide-angle position, and tilted at an
angle close to +/-80 degrees, a part of the camera
may come into view on the screen depending on the
rotation angle. When this occurs, adjust the field angle
accordingly.
When using multicast, make use of an IGMPv2-
●
compliant 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.
We recommend the use of a shielded LAN cables for
●
connection with this camera. The safety and reliability
of this camera has been checked by using shielded
cables.
To prevent fogging caused by temperature changes,
●
be sure to apply the supplied silica gel at the specified
location.
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.

• Completely plug the duct hole and the mounting holes. Water and
moisture may get inside and fog the lens and dome cover.
• If it is raining when you install the unit, exercise care to prevent any
rain from entering.
• Be sure to place silica gel. If you use a type of silica gel other than
that supplied with this unit, the camera lens and the dome cover may
become fogged.
• When you open the dome cover for repair or maintenance, replace
the silica gel.
• Correctly waterproof all the cables using waterproof tape (adhesive).
• If you do not adjust the field angle (
