When the “Auto” iris setting is selected, the iris may not function depending on the brightness of

the screen (when the amount of light is not sufficient). In this case, make adjustments using the “Manual” iris setting.

When the “Auto” iris setting is selected, brightness may not change if [AGC] is set to “Mid” or “High”. In this case, change the iris setting to “Manual”, or set [AGC] to “OFF”.

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.

If a high brightness object (such as a lamp) is shot, the image on the screen may have white vertical tailings. This phenomenon (smear) is characteristic of solid-state image sensors and is not a malfunction.

Do not touch the dome cover with your hands. Dirty covers will cause image deterioration.

The dome cover may fog up due to the drastic change of temperature when humidity is high.

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.

Depending on the stop position and horizontal/ vertical rotation speed of the rotation mechanism, the running sound of the rotation mechanism’s motor may be heard, but this is not a malfunction.

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 microSD 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.

Precautions

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 electronic shutter of this product is set to “1/30” by default. For regions with a commercial

power supply frequency of 50 Hz, switch to “Flickerless” during use under fluorescent lights

(excluding inverter lighting equipment) to prevent flickers.

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.

As the dome cover is of a semiglobular shape, image distortion will occur at the hemispherical edge. When the hemispherical edge of this unit is masked and horizontal level is shot in a tilt direction, the hemispherical edge will enter the field angle. This may cause the upper edge of the screen to become black and the focus unclear. In this case, you can avoid shooting the above area by using the Tilt Limit settings.

(A p.68 [ Tilt Limit ] )

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

In particular, manual and auto pan operation near the TELE edge (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.79 [[Time] Page] )

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

The fan inside this unit is a consumable part. If the fan stops running for some reasons, a “Caution : The fan is stopped” message will be

displayed over the video. You can also set the alarm trigger to send out a notification on fan stoppage via mail or TCP.

(A p.56 [[Alarm] Page] )

If the fan stops functioning, turn off this unit and consult your dealer.

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.

Network

Ensure that there is sufficient network bandwidth for the data volume to be sent out by the camera. Do not send multicast stream that exceeds the bandwidth. If the entire bandwidth is used by the multicast stream, control of this camera via the network may fail.

Data volume to be sent by the camera varies with the settings and number of distributions.

The maximum bit rate for transmission is about 40 Mbps.

Supports up to 20 clients at the same time.

Frame Rate and Frame Size

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.111 [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 “Multi-Encode” is 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.

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.

With the FRONT mark (D) facing the shooting direction, secure the ceiling mount section to the ceiling.

Ensure that the connection cables are not caught in between and secure the ceiling mount section to the ceiling with 3 screws.

Mounting the Camera

Note :

Use M4 fixing screws and bolts.

Use Φ4.1 wooden screws.

The length of the screws should be 25 mm (1inch) and above.

Place and install the product horizontally. The camera will not operate properly if it is slanted.

The screw head should be 5 mm and below. If the ceiling structure is metal, image noise may occur.

Do not use screws for which the screw head is embedded after fastening. (e.g. flat countersunk head screws). Otherwise, the insulating resin part may be damaged, thus preventing proper insulation.

Memo :

Always use three screws and mount securely.

Tighten the screws again during maintenance just to be safe.

The plastic parts on the ceiling fixing holes of the ceiling mount section act as an insulation between the ceiling mount section and the ceiling structure. If the ceiling structure is metal and insulation is not provided between the camera and the ceiling structure, image noise may occur. Be sure to provide insulation.

Remove the tape, lens cap, and packing sheet from the lens section of the camera.
