This product is a 1/3-inch type {1/3"} CCD color CCTV camera. Connection of this product to a
video monitor allows users to use this product as a monitoring camera.
Features
Super Dynamic 6
For photographic subjects which contain high contrast between the bright and dark areas, light
compensation on the pixel level will result in more natural-looking images.
Introduction of newly developed high-resolution CCD
The introduction of the newly developed CCD with 976 of horizontal pixels has led to the horizontal
resolution of as high as 700 TV lines (typ.).
Auto back focus (ABF) function equipped
Moving the CCD inside the camera to an optimal position with the operation button of this unit or
the setup menu allows users to automatically adjust the back focus.
The back focus is adjustable with the setup menu through the system controller (option) even after
installation of this unit.
The auto back focus function also allows users to correct out of focus when changing between
color and black-and-white images.
High sensitivity achieved thanks to noise reduction function
The introduction of low noise circuit design has achieved excellently high sensitivity resulting in the
minimum illuminance of 0.08 lx in the color mode and 0.008 lx in the black-and-white mode.
Night monochrome image activation function equipped
No operation is required at night because the image automatically changes from the color mode to
the black-and-white mode at low illuminance.
Motion detection function (VMD) equipped
The motion of an object is detectable. The acts of covering the camera with a cloth, a cap or other
acts and changing the camera direction during surveillance can be detected.

Note:
• The VMD function is not the dedicated function to prevent thefts, fires, etc. We are not responsible for any accidents or damages caused by applying the function for the above purposes.
Optional heater unit can be connected
When using the optional heater unit, the product can be used at temperatures within –30 °C to
+60°C {–22 °F to +140 °F} and humidity within 10 % to 90 %.
The camera conforms to the IP66
performance.
Waterproofing treatment is not required for the camera body (waterproofing treatment is required
for cable connections).

the architecture or where sufficient strength
is assured.
• If a ceiling board such as plaster board is
too weak to support the total weight, the
area shall be sufficiently reinforced.
Avoid installing this product in the following locations.
• Locations where a chemical agent is used
such as a swimming pool.
• Locations subject to steam and oil smoke
such as a kitchen, Locations near flammable gas or vapor.
• Locations where radiation or x-ray emissions are produced.
• Locations where corrosive gas is produced, Locations where it may be damaged by briny air such as seashores.
• Locations where the temperature is not within –10 °C to +60 °C {+14 °F to +140 °F}.
(When using the optional heater unit, the
product can be used at temperatures within
–30 °C to +60 °C {–22 °F to +140 °F} and

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.
10
Mounting screws
• 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
consequently damage to the screws.
