Precautions

In case of problem

Do not use the camera if smoke or a strange odour comes from the unit, or if it seems not to function correctly. Disconnect the power cord immediately, and consult your dealer (or a Sanyo Authorized Service Centre).

Do not open or modify

Do not open the cabinet, as it may be dangerous and cause damage to the unit. For internal settings and repairs, consult your dealer (or a Sanyo Authorized Service Centre).

Do not put objects inside the unit

Make sure that no metal objects or flammable substance get inside the camera. If used with a foreign object inside, it could cause a fire, short-circuits or damages.

If water or a liquid gets inside the camera, disconnect the power cord immediately, and consult your dealer (or a Sanyo Authorized Service Centre). Be careful to protect the camera from rain, sea water, etc.

Be careful when handling the unit

To prevent damages, do not drop the camera or subject it to strong shock or vibration.

Install away from electric or magnetic fields

If installed close to a TV, radio transmitter, magnet, electric motor, transformer, audio speakers the magnetic field they generate will distort the image.

Protect from humidity and dust

To prevent damages to the camera, do not install it where there is greasy smoke or steam, where the dampness may get too high, or where there is a lot of dust.

Protect from high temperatures

Do not install close to stoves, or other heat generating devices, such as spotlights, etc., or where it could be subject to direct sunlight, as that could cause deformation, discoloration or other damages.

Be careful when installing close to the ceiling, in a kitchen or boiler room, as the temperature may raise to high levels.

Install where the temperature range will stay between –10°C and 50°C. (no condensation)

Cleaning

Dirt can be removed from the cabinet by

•

wiping it with a soft cloth. To remove stains, wipe with a soft cloth moistened with a soft detergent solution and wrung dry, then wipe dry with dry soft cloth.

Do not use benzine, thinner or other

•

chemical product on the cabinet, as that may cause deformation and paint peeling. Before using a chemical cloth, make sure to read all accompanying instructions. Make sure that no plastic or rubber material comes in contact with the cabinet for a long period of time, as that may cause damage or paint peeling.

Features/Operating Environment

Web Server Function

This camera is equipped with a web server function. The camera can be accessed using a computer’s web browser in order to view the camera images. In addition, up to a maximum of 16 users can simultaneously access a single camera on the network.

Network Connections

This camera is equipped with both an Ethernet connector and an RS-232C connector, allowing it to be connected to a variety of different network environments, such as LANs and the Internet.

Wireless LAN Compatibility

The camera can also be used in a wireless LAN environment by installing the specified wireless LAN card.

Adoption of JPEG2000

The images captured by the camera are compressed using the JPEG2000 format before transmission. In comparison to conventional JPEG formats, this format produces very little image deterioration and allows large volumes of data to be transmitted quickly (maximum 30 fps).

Note: The transmission rate will vary depending

on individual network conditions. A network environment that can transmit data at high speeds is required in order to transmit data at 30 fps.

Alarm Recording and Playback Functions

The built-in motion sensor detects movement, and the camera can also be connected to an external alarm sensor (such as a switch) that is set to detect abnormalities, so that images can be recorded and played back when an alarm occurs.

Day/Night Function

The day/night function allows the camera to adapt to a variety of different luminance conditions so that color images are monitored during daytime, but under conditions of low illumination such as nighttime, it switches automatically to black & white.

Alarm Image Transfer Function

The alarm image can be transferred by E-mail. (Compatible with POP before SMTP and SMTP authentication.)

The camera requires the following conditions to operate.

Flange Back Adjustment

The flange back is taken from the distance between the lens (sold separately) and the image capturing surface of the camera. It is adjusted at the time of shipment from the factory to accommodate the types of lenses that are generally assumed to be in use.

Accordingly, the flange back does not normally need to be adjusted. However, if attaching a zoom lens and changing from wide angle to telephoto, the images may not be captured in proper focus, and so in such cases the flange back should always be adjusted by following the procedure given below.

Connect a coaxial cable between the camera output connector (MONITOR OUT) of the camera and the monitor’s video connector (VIDEO IN).

Turn on the camera’s power.

Adjust the flange back while viewing the camera images on the monitor.

Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the flange back locking screws.

Move the zoom lens to the telephoto setting, and then use the lens focus ring to adjust the focus.

Move the zoom lens to the wide angle setting, and then use the flange back adjustment dial to adjust the focus.

Move the zoom lens from wide angle to telephoto (repeating steps 3 and 4) and check that the images are properly focused. Then tighten the flange back locking screws.

For example, if the maximum transmission speed for the network being connected to is 15 fps, then the images can only be transmitted at a maximum speed of 15 fps, even if the frame rate is set to “MID 3” or higher.

Available settings: BASIC (5 fps), MID 1 (10), MID 2 (15),

Use the drop-down list box to select the image quality (image compression ratio). If a higher compression ratio is used (BASIC), the volume of image data becomes smaller (the amount of image deterioration becomes greater) and the transmission speed becomes faster.

Available settings: BASIC, MID 1, MID 2 (Default setting), MID 3, HIGH Note: Alarm recording is carried out at the picture quality that is specified in the

alarm recording settings, not at the setting that is made here. (p. 47)

Select the image resolution from the drop-down list box. The volume of data

transmitted will be larger when a higher resolution is selected. Use the drop-down list box to set the enlargement ratio to x2 or x4 (when

•

the image size is 160x120) or x2 (when the image size is 320x240). The image will appear coarser when a greater enlargement ratio is selected.

Note:

When images that are compressed using JPEG2000 are played back, the

•

image refresh rate will vary depending on the performance specifications of the computer being used. In addition, if other applications besides the web browser are running, this may also cause the image refresh rate to become slower or may result in unstable operation. You should avoid running other applications at the same time as much as possible.

Set the FRAME RATE, PICTURE QUALITY and RESOLUTION settings to

levels that will not interfere with the operation of the network. If the amount of data being transferred is too large for the network environment, it may have an adverse effect on other network operations.

Glossary of Terms

A system whereby a computer (HTTP server) that hosts web pages sends information that is stored by a user’s computer, so that when that user visits the same web page a second time, the information that has been automatically saved is transmitted back to the HTTP server. For example, it assigns a unique number to the information from a user and remembers part of the information that the user has entered, so that next time the user accesses the web page, the same information does not need to be entered all over again.

DNS server

This is a server that administers a DNS (Domain Name System). A DNS server is a system that handles the exchanging of domain names and IP addresses for users. DNS is a type of translation machine that converts IP addresses that can be understood by a computer into domain names (such as http://www.xxx.com) that can be more easily understood by humans, and vice versa.

Ethernet

There are a variety of different types of computer network. Ethernet is a type of network that was developed by Xerox Corporation.

Firewall

A firewall is like a barrier between an outside network (the Internet) and a local network (LAN). It is a security measure that is used to prevent unauthorized access to information by outsiders.

Firmware

Software that is used to operate a device.

Frame rate

This is an indication of how many times an image is refreshed in a single second when images are being displayed or moving images are being played back. If the value (fps) is large, the rate at which images are refreshed is faster, but this setting is a theoretical maximum value, and so if the images are complex, the images may be refreshed even more slowly. The set frame rate may not be attained for other reasons also, such as the image loading time and the performance of the computer being used.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol)

A protocol (communication standard) for transmitting files via the Internet. This communication protocol allows files and data to be transferred via the Web, whereas previously it was only possible using e-mail.

English

Hard disk

A storage device for large quantities of data that is used by equipment such as computers. It contains a flat disc that is coated with magnetic particles, and this disc spins around and a magnetized head is used to read the data stored on the disc. The data can be read at extremely fast speeds, giving it excellent data searching performance.

HTML file

An HTML file is a text file that is written in the HTML language (a language that is mainly used to create web pages). The file extensions used are .htm and .html.

IP address

A code that allocates “addresses” for each individual computer and other device on the Internet or in a network. Devices that communicate by IP all must have an IP address assigned to them. Devices that are connected to the Internet are assigned a unique global IP address so that no two devices have the same address. IP addresses consist of a network ID and a host ID, and the network ID identifies the address as Class A, B or C.

JPEG2000 (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

An image file compression standard that was formulated by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It provides higher compression ratios and higher quality than conventional JPEG.

A protocol (communication standard) that determines the process by which two points (computers) are connected across a network using telephone lines.

POP before SMTP

POP before SMTP is a function whose purpose is to prevent the relaying of spam (unsolicited e-mail messages). Before an e-mail message is sent, POP authentication* is carried out so that the server can verify whether the message is from a genuine user or not. This prevents the server from being used in an unauthorized way to send out spam e-mail messages.

POP authentication is authentication that is

carried out when e-mail is received from a mail server.

POP server

A service provider or rental server is divided into a server for only sending e-mail messages (SMTP server) and a server for only receiving e-mail messages (POP server).

The server that is used to receive these e-mail messages is called a POP server.

This is a security system that receives authentications by means of a username and password when e-mail messages are sent. This prevents unauthorized users from using individual mail servers.

Stop bit

A symbol that is added at the end of a byte of data (8 bits) during data transmission to indicate the end of that byte.

Subnet mask

An IP address consists of a network ID and a host ID. A subnet mask is used to mask part of an IP address in order to specify whether the IP address is on a local or a remote network.

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)

A network protocol (communication standard) that was developed by the Network Project that was funded by the United States Department of Defense. It can be thought of as the communication technology that makes it possible to send and receive data over the Internet. Computers that are connected via the Internet use this protocol, and it works regardless of the type of device. Basically IP controls the sending of data in separate blocks called “packets”, and TCP receives these packets, opens them to look at their contents, and then puts all of them back together into one.

Pre-alarm and post-alarm recording

Pre-alarm and post-alarm recording involve recording data according to a selected ratio in the camera’s internal memory. The default ratio is pre-alarm = 0% / post-alarm = 100%. When an alarm is detected in this condition, only post-alarm images are recorded in the camera’s internal memory.

Post-alarm recording is the recording of

•

alarm data after an alarm has been detected by an external sensor or motion detector. When an alarm is detected, the alarm data is recorded into the internal memory according to the ratio selected. If the ratio is 100%, all of the available memory space is devoted to post-alarm recording.

Pre-alarm recording sequentially records

•

alarm images from immediately before the alarm was detected according to the ratio selected. When an alarm is detected, images from before the alarm that fall within the amount specified by the ratio selected are recorded in the pre-alarm area of the internal memory.

For example, if the alarm recording area of the internal memory is set to a ratio of 30%/70%, 30% of the available area is devoted to recording images from immediately before the alarm is detected. Actual alarm images are then recorded in the remaining 70%, and the pre-alarm and post-alarm recordings are treated as a single alarm event.

When alarm images are played back, the images can be viewed continuously starting from the first images recorded immediately before the alarm was detected. The alarm recording area ratio is an important point for consideration when making settings.
