When the brightness of the image plane is extremely high (bright).

When the brightness of the image plane is extremely low (dim).

When the brightness of the image plane is constantly changing (for example, a blinking light).

When there is almost no contrast.

When there are repetitive vertical striped patterns on the image plane.

Auto Focus is difficult to set under the following conditions.

When sensitivity is increased with AGC and the screen is grainy.

When there is less movement on the screen due to the Sense Up function.

When there is no clear contour in electronic zoom.

Zoom Operation

The following phenomena are the results of the built-in lens performance and are not malfunctions.

When manual operation or preset is selected, focus moves slightly after the zoom operation has stopped near the TELE end.

The zoom operation is not smooth during manual operation.

When Preset is selected, the camera becomes out of focus for an instant during zooming.

Getting Started

Saving Energy

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

Precautions

Others

This camera will perform the initial operation of pan/tilt/zoom upon powering on.

Do not subject the lens to strong light source such as sun rays. This may cause the equipment to malfunction.

Getting Started

This camera comes with a built-in AGC circuit. The sensitivity increases automatically at a dark place and noise may become noticeable on the screen. This is not a malfunction.

While AGC is activated, if a transceiver which causes strong radio wave is used near the camera, the picture may suffer from beat. Please use the camera more than three meters away from such transceivers.

When this camera is used in the White Balance “ATW-Narrow”, “ATW-Wide” or “ATW-Full”

(automatic adjustment) mode, the color tone may differ slightly from the actual color due to the principle of the automatic color temperature tracking white balance circuit. This is not a malfunction.

Noises from an external source may cause the alarm to malfunction even when the alarm signal cable used is within 50 m. In this case, move the cable away from the noise source.

During audio input/output, noise may occur when the rotation mechanism is rotated horizontally/vertically, when zooming is performed, when the power is turned on/off, or when the SD card is operating. This is not a malfunction.

Noise may become pronounced in the audio when Mike Gain is set to a high value. This is not a malfunction.

The pan operation range of this product is limited to ±175 °. Regardless of the function, operation

is not possible beyond this range.

In the event that the pan or tilt operation is performed forcibly by external force when power is supplied, the camera will not return to the original position. When this occurs, restart the camera.

When using multicast, make use of an IGMPv2-compliant network switch.

Some switching hubs of products that are equipped with intelligent features may include a broadcast/multicast suppression function. Viewing of multicast images on this product may fail if this function is enabled.

The video standard of this product is set to “NTSC” by default. If your region uses the PAL

format, you can switch to “PAL” on the [Maintenance] page. Flicker can be reduced by setting to “PAL” in the area of commercial power frequency 50Hz.

(A p.64 [[Maintenance] Page] )

The dark areas on the screen may appear grainy or white spots may increase. 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.

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

When shooting objects with a luminance difference or near a light source, ghost may occur on the screen. This is a feature of the built-in lens, and is not a malfunction.

In particular, manual and auto pan operation near the TELE end (telephoto side) may cause the screen to vibrate (unsmooth rotation). This is a feature of the motor and is not a malfunction.

As long magnification lens is used in this product, the focus may be unclear due to temperature changes but this is not a malfunction.

Preset the focus under an environment with a temperature closest to that in your actual usage. If the temperature change is large and the focus becomes unclear, preset the focus again before using the product.

If you sense that the focus has become unclear due to temperature changes, use the Auto Focus function or reset the focus manually.

The time of the internal clock may be significantly out of alignment if the power of the product is turned off for a long time or when there is prolonged power failure. If this occurs, readjust the clock time.

A p.61 [[Time] Page] )

(

While viewing with the Built-in Viewer, audio sound may sometimes be out of synchronization. This is not a malfunction.

When the monitor in use has a wide display area, lines may appear at the peripheral area of the screen.

When the camera is mounted on a desktop, the monitor output image will appear inverted even when [Installation Mode] is set to “Desktop”.

An afterimage can appear if you view a moving object on the monitor output, however this is not a malfunction.

Precautions

Before starting an important recording, be sure to perform a test recording in order to confirm that a normal recording is possible.

We shall not be liable for the loss of recordings or opportunities in the event that recording could not be performed due to a problem that arises during the use of the video camera or recorder.

The motion detection, tampering detection, and audio detection features are simple functions. They cannot be used as a substitute for a security alarm. Our company shall not be liable for any inconveniences or damages caused in the event of false detection or failure to detect by these functions. We shall not be liable for any inconveniences or damages caused as a result of operational failure for alarm input/output.

This products enables simultaneous encoding up to three channels. However, the settable frame size and frame rate combinations are subject to restrictions. For more details about restrictions on the combination, refer to the following.

(A p.94 [Appendix (Restrictions during Multi-encoding)] )

Bit Rate of JPEG Stream

The JPEG file size per frame varies with the encoding settings as well as the camera images. When “AFS” is selected, encoding is performed

such that the target file size is the average size of multiple JPEG images. When “VFS” is selected,

the quantization table during JPEG encoding will be maintained, and the file size will increase/ decrease according to the camera images. If the JPEG file size per frame is 120 KB, then the total bit rate will be: 120 KB ´ 15 fps = 1800 KB/s = Approx. 14.4 Mbps When multiple encoders are selected, a different JPEG file size can be set for each channel. For example, when 2fps JPEG files with 30 KB file size and 3fps JPEG file with 10 KB file size are transmitted, then the total bit rate will be: 30 KB ´ 2 fps +10 KB ´ 3 fps = 90 KB/s = Approx.

0.72 Mbps

Operating Environment

Bit Rate of H.264 Stream

You can select either the Variable Bit Rate (VBR) or Constant Bit Rate (CBR) system for H.264 stream. When the VBR system is selected, the bit rate varies according to the condition of the camera images. The VBR system delivers a stable picture quality, but forecast of the bit rate is difficult. When the CBR system is selected, encoding is performed at a fixed bit rate regardless of the condition of the camera images. The picture quality varies under the CBR system, but the bit rate can be easily forecast. You can specify an estimated bit rate for both VBR and CBR. (64 kbps to 8192 kbps) H.264 Baseline cannot be set for multiple encoders at the same time. Only one channel can be set with a frame size of 1280´720 or lower and a bit rate of

1.5 Mbps or lower.

Audio Data Size

Up to 2 stream of audio data can be sent. Up to 1 stream of audio data can be received. Each audio data stream is 64 kbps. The size of the audio data can be calculated using the following formula: 64 kbps ´ number of streams The number of streams should be the total of the number of TCP streams being sent (the number of clients) and the number of multicast streams being sent/received. For example, if the camera is sending 2 streams of audio and receiving 1 stream of audio, the data size will be as follows: 64 kbps ´ 3 = 192 kbps

Insufficient Network Bandwidth

When there is insufficient bandwidth, the number of JPEG frames (frame rate) that the client can acquire will decrease. Delay will also occur in the distribution of images. In the case of H.264, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.

Network Delay

When the client acquires JPEG via TCP, the camera will send out data while checking the ACK from the client at the same time. For networks with considerable delay, data cannot be sent out until ACK is received, and therefore the frame rate will drop. In the case of H.264, noise interference may occur and playback may fail. A decrease in the frame rate due to network delays can be eliminated by receiving data via multicast.

Network Jitter

When there is considerable network jitter, delay time may be prolonged and the image frame rate may drop. In the case of H.264, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.

Packet Loss

When acquiring images from camera via TCP, packet loss may be recovered by TCP transmission. When there is considerable delay in the network, however, missing data may occur and the image frame rate may drop. In the case of H. 264, noise interference may occur and playback may fail. When packet loss occurs during multicast sending from camera, the image frame rate may drop. In the case of H.264, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.

Camera Setting Requirements

Network

Images

H.264 Profiles

The camera supports both the H.264 Baseline Profile and H.264 High Profile standards. High Profiles can maintain high image quality with a low bit rate, but as the decoder needs to support High Profiles, the processing load on the decoder becomes heavier.

Camera Setting Requirements

Compared to High Profiles, Baseline Profile offers lower compression performance, but the processing load on the decoder will be reduced. Selecting High Profiles is recommended if the decoder has sufficient processing ability.

Selection of Languages on Setting Pages

There are two radio buttons for selecting the language at the right top corner of the setting pages, however the language will be automatically set according to the OS environment of your computer. If you select “Japanese” while using an

English-language OS, it may not be correctly displayed because there is no Japanese environment. Make sure to use the setting page according to the language setting for the OS of the computer in use.
