The camera can be viewed in the least light requirement at 3 lx (default). Use supplemental lighting for the dimly lit places.

•

The camera can be viewed in the least of 0.2 lx in the color night view mode (see page 70 of the Operating Instructions on the CD-ROM), which may increase the refresh interval. After preparing the Ethernet cable that has enough length, mount the camera.

installations. In some areas, commercial and industrial installations are regulated by local or state ordinances. For such installations, contact your local building department or building inspector for more details.

Adjust the position and direction of the camera while you confirm that images are displayed on the monitor as you imaged.

Attach the camera firmly when mounting on the ceiling.

Mounting on the Ceiling

Two ways of wiring the cables (Ethernet cable, AC adaptor cord, etc.) can be considered; wiring through a hole made in the ceiling or wiring without making a hole in the ceiling. Select either one of the two.

Note

Make sure to mount the camera firmly on the ceiling.

•

Do not mount the camera on a weak ceiling.

•

It is necessary to attach the Safety Wire so that the camera does

•

not fall. The Ceiling Mounting Cover should be removed when removing

•

the SD memory card (see page 127 of the Operating Instructions on the CD-ROM). The camera is intended for indoor ceiling use only. Prolonged

•

exposure to direct sunlight or halogen light may damage CCD. The camera's MAC address and serial number are printed on the

•

bottom of the camera. They are needed in order for camera configuration and maintenance. Record both of them for before mounting the camera.
