Setting switches

❚

Setting function switches

To set the available functions on your camera, adjust eight switches as shown below:

DEC

1. Switch 1 (LL): When this switch is set to OFF, the camera operates in the internal

synchronization mode, while when it is set to ON, the camera operates in the line lock mode.
In the internal synchronization mode, the camera always uses an inside crystal oscillator for
synchronization. However if multiple cameras are connected to a sequential switcher, picture
rolling or flickering may occur when switching from one camera to another. In this case, you
can set this switch to ON to solve this problem.
The line lock mode allows the camera to use the phase of the AC power as the
synchronization reference. In this mode, you can use the phase control buttons(INC/DEC).

Note

When you are using the DC 12V power, set this switch to OFF. The line lock feature will not normally
operate even when the switch is set to ON.

Set the LL switch to ON while the AC power is connected. If any picture roll happens, you have
to adjust the phase using the phase-control buttons. Press the INC or DEC button to increase or
decrease the phase by one degree.

2. Switch 2 (LSS): This sens-up mode accumulates the image fields in memory to reduce

noise but increase the brightness and contrast rate. When this switch is set to ON, the
camera automatically switches to a maximum of 128 times of image acquisition speed to
implement a clear picture for darker image.

3. Switch 3 (H-REV): When this switch is set to ON, the camera image is reversed horizontally.

If you want to monitor your site using a mirror, you can use this feature to see the right
image.

4. Switch 4 (V-REV)

If your camera reluctantly displays the vertically reversed image, you can use this feature to
see the right image.

environmental change. (Approx. 2000°K to 11,000°K)

Installing camera

❚

Before installation

Before installing your camera, you have to read the following cautions:



You have to check whether the location (ceiling or wall) can bear five times the weight of your camera.



Don’t let the cable to be caught in improper place or the electric line cover to be damaged. Otherwise it
may cause a breakdown or fire.



When installing your camera, don’t allow any person to approach the installation site. If you have any
valuable things under the place, move them away.

Installation procedure

Ceiling mount
opener

To install your camera

1. Press the Locker button on the bottom
of your camera and remove the Cover
dome from the Main body using the

other hand. The Main body will be
exposed to you.

2. As shown in the picture, push the Lock
releaser outward and rotate the Main
body in the UNLOCK direction to remove
the Mount bracket. If it is not easily
done, rotate the Mount bracket in the
LOCK direction while holding small holes
on the Mount bracket.

3. Fix the Mount bracket to the location
(ceiling or wall) with supplied three
screws.

Note

The CAMERA FRONT sign on the Mount
bracket should face the camera monitoring

area.

4. When you install the Mount bracket on the ceiling, remove the Ceiling mount opener by

pressing it hard to connect the line attached on your camera through the hole in the ceiling.
Otherwise, you can use the empty space opposite to the CAMERA FRONT sign for line
connection.

5. Now attach the Main body to the Mount bracket by rotating it in the LOCK direction after
aligning the Lock releaser on the Main body with the wide groove around the CAMERA
FRONT inlay.

6. Adjust the camera direction. For more details on the direction control, see “Adjusting the
camera direction,” on the same page.

7. Finally attach the Cover dome to the Main body by pressing it until a “click” sound is heard
after aligning the wide groove at the lower part of the Cover dome with the Locker on the
Main body.

Adjusting the camera direction

❚

When the camera is fixed on the ceiling, you can adjust
the camera viewing angle. You can rotate your camera
leftward or rightward (Panning), and can change the
slope of your camera upward or downward (Tilting).

In case of panning, the rotation limit of your camera
is set to 340 degree (220 degree clockwise and 120
degree counterclockwise). The rotation is stopped by the
Stopper inside of the camera. For panning control, first
unfasten two screws located on the bottom and rotate in
the direction you want, and then fasten them to fix the
camera. When both fixing screws cannot be tightened,
change the location of screws. When inevitable, just
tightening one screw is alright.

In case of tilting, you can change the slope of your camera from zero to 90 degree. When
the slope angle is under 23 degree, you can encounter a partial image hide problem. To fix
the location after adjusting the tilting angle, use the Tilt fixing screws.

To adjust the focus of your camera, rotate the fixed lens for clear image. When you install
the camera on the inclined ceiling or wall, you can rotate the camera lens to see a correct
direction image.
