Preface
Introduction of newly developed high-resolution CCD
The introduction of the newly developed CCD with 976 horizontal pixels has led to a horizontal
resolution of as high as 600 TV lines.
High sensitivity achieved because of noise reduction function
Sensitivity at the following minimum illuminations has been accomplished for color images
because of the introduction of low noise circuit design (F1.4): 0.07 lx (black-and-white)
Day/Night conversion function equipped
No setup change is required at night because the image automatically changes from the color
mode to the black-and-white mode at low illuminance.

on the dome cover, and lift up the dome
cover for approx. 10 mm. Then, turn the
dome cover counterclockwise to align
the mark on the camera to [ | ] on the
dome cover as shown in the illustration.
The dome cover can be removed from
the camera on this position.

Radio interference
When the camera is used near TV/radio antenna, strong electric field or magnetic field (near a
motor or a transformer), images may be distorted and noise sound may be produced.
In such a case, run the camera cable through specialized steel conduit tubes.
Locally procure the screws
Screws are not supplied with this product.
Prepare the screws according to the material, structure, strength and other factors of the
mounting area and the total weight of objects to be mounted.
Screw tightening
The screws and bolts must be tightened with an appropriate tightening torque according •
to the material and strength of the installation area.
Do not use an impact driver. Failure to observe this may cause overtightening and conse-•
quently damage to the screws.
When a screw is tightened, make the screw at a right angle to the surface. After tighten-•
ing the screws or bolts, perform visual check to ensure tightening is enough and there is
no backlash.

■ About the side cable access hole
If you choose not to drill hole in the ceiling, but to wire the camera with the
cable exposed, cut the cable access
hole on the side of the dome cover to
provide a cable entry.
Note:
Cut out the part as show in the illus-•
tration.
Precautions when wiring from the side:
Move the cable to one side as shown.•
Be careful not to pinch the cable with •
the dome cover.

Auto gain control [AGC]
Automatically increases the gain to make the screen brighter when the illuminance of the subject becomes darker.
Auto tracking white balance [ATW]
Activates the automatic color temperature tracking mode.
The camera continuously check the color temperature of the light source and automatically
adjusts the white balance. The adjustment of the color temperature ranges from approx. 2700
K to 6000 K.
Digital noise reduction [DNR]
The digital noise reduction function reduces noise automatically under the condition of low illuminance.
Day & Night (Electric) [D&N (ELE)]
Automatically switches between color and black-and-white images in accordance with the illuminance.

To obtain color images, a sufficient level of illuminance (approx. 3.0 lx at F1.4 *corresponding
value) is required.
The switching illuminances described above are reference values. The switching illuminance
shall be decided based on the actual installation environment.
There may be repeated switching between color and black-and-white images depending on
