Thank you for your purchase of a Marshall Miniature or Compact Camera.
The Marshall Camera team recommends thoroughly reading this guide for a deep understanding
of on-screen-display (OSD) menus, breakout cable operation, settings adjustment explanation,
troubleshooting, and other critical information.
Please carefully remove all contents of box, which should include the following components:
CV226 includes:
• Camera with breakout cable (Power/RS485/Audio)
• 12V Power Supply
The CV226 Camera utilizes an all-weather rated body with IP67 rated CAP that can be removed
(rotate counter-clockwise) to reveal M12 lens which also can be rotated to adjust fine-focus
position of lens on lens mount. Also, can be swapped out with other M12 lenses containing
specific focal lengths to change AOV.
Each camera comes set to default at 1920x1080p @ 30fps out of the box, which can be changed
in the OSD Menu to a variety of resolutions and framerates.
If the camera is accidentally changed to a resolution or framerate that your monitor or equipment
does not accept, please follow the instructions below to reset camera to factory default:
1. Plug the camera into power source and connect breakout cable to rear camera panel
(locking connection), Power LED should illuminate.
2. Push OSD joystick button UP, DOWN, UP, DOWN and PUSH and HOLD for five seconds.
3. Camera should reset to 1920x1080p @ 30fps.
4. If camera does not reset, repeat steps after a power-cycle.
