∫ Network security
As you will use the unit connected to a network, your attention is called to the following security risks.
1 Leakage or theft of information through the unit
2 Use of the unit for illegal operations by persons with malicious intent
3 Interference with or stoppage of the unit by persons with malicious intent
It is your responsibility to take precautions such as those described below to protect yourself against the above
network security risks.
≥ Use the unit in a network secured by a firewall, etc.
≥ If the unit is connected to a network that includes personal computers, make sure that the system is not infected by
computer viruses or other malicious entities (using a regularly updated antivirus program, anti-spyware program,
etc.).
≥ Protect your network against unauthorized access by setting up user authentication to restrict users to those who
log in with an authorized user name and password. In addition, to prevent third parties from identifying user name
information (including passwords), change the information from the factory default.
For details, refer to “User authentication” on page 26.
≥ After accessing the unit, be sure to close all web browsers.
≥ Store authentication information (user names and passwords) appropriately so that no third parties will be able to
access it.
≥ Change the password periodically.
≥ Restrict access to the unit by authenticating the users, for example, to prevent setting information stored on the unit
from leaking over the network.
≥ Do not install the camera in locations where the camera or the cables can be destroyed or damaged by persons with
malicious intent.
≥ Concerning user authorization
User authentication on the unit can be performed via basic authentication. If basic authentication is used without using
a dedicated line equipped with an authentication function, password leaks may occur.
≥ Usage restrictions
Use of the same segment is recommended for the network in which the unit and the personal computer are
connected.
If the equipment uses connections with different segments, events based on the settings inherent to the network
equipment, for instance, may occur so check this thoroughly prior to operation.

the login ID and password settings (l 41) will return to
the factory defaults.
When initialization starts, the status indicator (red) and
the function lamp will start flashing alternately.
Even after the settings are returned to the factory
defaults, there may be times when you want to restore
the factory defaults again. In such cases, before
performing the operation, turn off and on the unit.

≥ This LAN connector (RJ-45) is connected when
exercising IP control over the unit from an external
device. Use a cable with the following specifications for
the connection to the LAN connector:
LAN cable* (category 5 or above), max. 100 meters

≥ Verify that the output voltage matches the unit’s
voltage rating before connection.
≥ Use a source with an output power rating equal to
or higher than the unit's input power rating.
≥ An inrush current is generated when this unit is
turned on. An insufficient power supply capacity
when the power is turned on may result in
malfunction. We recommend using a DC power
supply that can provide at least twice the power
consumption value of the unit.
Verify the pin positions of the output
connector of the DC power supply and the
unit’s DC IN terminal, and be sure to
connect with the correct polarities.
Connecting +12 V power to the GND
terminal may result in fire or malfunction.
15 Multipurpose screw hole
≥ M3 (3 mm diameter) type screws with lengths up to
6 mm can be used for the six screw holes on the upper
surface of this unit.
≥ When using screws, do not apply excessive force.
Also, if you use a M3 (3 mm diameter) type screw
longer than 6 mm in length, this unit may be damaged.

Preparation
Connecting this unit to the Camera Head
≥ Be sure to turn off this unit before attaching or removing the camera head option cable and HDMI Cables.
A Type D terminal
B Type A terminal
C Camera head option cable
D HDMI Cable (k4)
Attaching the Camera head option cable (optional)
1 Insert Camera head option cable D into this unit’s CAMERA
terminal and the Camera Head connecting terminal.
≥ Align notch A of the terminal of the Camera head option cable and
guide B of the connecting terminal to insert.
2 Turn the Camera head option cable terminal ring C
clockwise.
≥ Fix firmly so that there is no looseness.
∫ Removing the Camera head option cable
1 Loosen the ring on the terminal of the Camera head option cable by turning it
counterclockwise.
2 Hold the ring on the terminal of the Camera head option cable and pull it straight out.
Connecting HDMI Cables (optional)
1 Loosen the cable cover screw 1 of the Camera Head, and
remove the cable cover.
≥ Remove the two cable covers, the cable cover for CAM1/2 A and the
cable cover for CAM3/4 B.

2 Insert the Type D connector 2 of each of the HDMI Cables
into one of the video output terminals 3 (illustrated
example: CAM1 OUT terminal) of the Camera Head.
≥ Insert the HDMI Cables to all of the CAM1 OUT-CAM4 OUT terminals.
3 Align the position of each of the HDMI Cables with the
corresponding cable cover slit 4, and attach the cable cover
to the Camera Head.
≥ Attaching the cable cover without aligning the position may cause
damage to the HDMI Cable. Be sure to align the position of each of the
HDMI Cables.
4 Tighten the cable cover screw 5 to fix the HDMI Cable.
≥ Use the cable cover while the HDMI Cable is connected to prevent it
from being accidentally pulled out.
≥ Attach the two cable covers, the cable cover for CAM1/2 and the cable
cover for CAM3/4.
5 Check each of the terminal numbers 6 (illustrated example: CAM1 OUT) on the Camera
Head, and insert the Type A connector 8 of each of the HDMI Cables into the Base Unit's
video input terminal 7 (illustrated example: CAM1 IN terminal) indicated with the matching
number.
≥ Insert the HDMI Cables to all of the CAM1 IN-CAM4 IN terminals.
≥ Bundle the Camera head option cable and the HDMI Cables together near the terminals of the unit using one of
the cable straps to prevent them from being accidentally pulled out. Attach the cable strap D to the Camera
head option cable C.
∫ Removing the HDMI Cables
Before disconnecting the HDMI Cables, remove the cable covers.
≥ Disconnecting the HDMI Cables while the cable covers are still attached may cause damage to the HDMI Cables.
≥ If the HDMI Cables are bundled, attach labels of some sort identifying terminal numbers to the terminals before
disconnecting them. The labels will be useful for reconnecting the bundled cables.
≥ Use the supplied cable straps to organize the camera head option cable and the HDMI Cables.
≥ When the HDMI Cables are not in use, attach the cable covers to the Camera Head to protect the terminals.
