Precautions for Preventing Access to the Camera by an Unintended Third Party
The camera settings may be changed by an unintended third party on the network, depending on the usage environment.
The camera can be fraudulently accessed in a network environment where a device is connected or connectable to the network without the administrator’s permission, or where a PC or other network device connected to the network can be used without any permission.
After configuring the camera, immediately change the password you use for upgrading the firmware on the camera, from a Web browser on your PC, and for changing settings. For how to change password, see “Changing the password” (page 51).

Features
Pan/Tilt/Zoom CMOS video camera equipped with a small built-in pan-tilt head
•The camera unit is equipped with a 1.0-type Exmor R→ CMOS sensor and an optical 12× zoom lens with pan/tilt/zoom features integrated into a small built-in pan-tilt head. This versatile camera can be used for various applications.
•The pan-tilt head can pan to the right or left by ±170 degrees and tilt upward to 90 degrees and downward to 30 degrees, which allows the camera to remotely shoot wide areas.
•The camera pans and tilts smoothly, even at low movement speed.
•The camera pans and tilts quietly, even at its maximum speed of 60 degrees per second.
•Up to 100 preset positions can be saved. The PTZ Motion Sync function enables smooth preset operation with coordinated pan/ tilt and zoom. In addition, the speed of movement between positions can be adjusted from an optional RM-IP500/IP10 Remote Controller.
Zoom performance for capturing distant subjects
In addition to 12× optical zoom, it uses Sony’s 2×*1 Clear Image Zoom function and 2× Tele Convert mode*2 to achieve the equivalent of up to 48×*2 telephoto performance.
*1 When shooting at 1920×1080 only. 1.5× when shooting at 3840×2160.
*2 When shooting at 1920×1080 only.
High sensitivity and high resolution from built-in 1.0-type CMOS image sensor
With the built-in highly photosensitive 1.0-type Exmor R→ CMOS sensor, high resolution shooting with less noise can be achieved. Highly sensitive shooting unique to the large sensor can be achieved. In addition, the camera is equipped with a ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* builtin lens.
Multi-format support
3840×2160/29.97p (2SI) *1 1920×1080/59.94p, 1920×1080/59.94i, 1280×720/59.94p

Equipped with 3G-SDI and HDMI output
The camera can deliver 4K output for both Dual Link 3G-SDI×2 (2SI) and HDMI.
Various installation environments are available in order to establish a connection with HDMI, in addition to the coaxial cable.
Equipped with PoE+ (Power Over Ethernet Plus)
The camera is compatible with PoE+ (Power Over Ethernet Plus), so a single LAN cable can be used for power provision and control.
Compatible with VISCA over IP protocol
An IP connection can be established between the camera and the remote controller.
Equipped with External Video Sync Function
The camera is equipped with an external video sync function to synchronize the camera images on multiple cameras.
Equipped with Tally Lamp Function
The camera is equipped with a Tally lamp that quickly distinguishes when the camera is in use.
The front Tally lamp is a large Tally lamp used for improving visibility. The camera is also equipped with a Tally lamp behind the camera block, in order to improve visibility from the rear side.
Supports network connection with RCP/ MSU
Network connection to an optional remote control panel (RCP) or master setup unit (MSU) is supported.
Picture Profile preset function
Picture Profile presets PP1 to PP6 can be loaded. By using these presets, you can match the image texture with other types of camcorders that support the Picture Profile function, or create an image texture that is similar to that of cinematic film.
Built-in ND filter
The camera is equipped with a built-in ND filter to enable adjustment of the light level in bright lighting conditions without changing the shutter speed or iris. You can choose from Off, 1/4, 1/16, and 1/64.

If you have to place the camera on an inclined surface, make sure that the inclination is less than ±15 degrees to guarantee pan/tilt performance, and take measures to prevent it from falling.
Attaching the camera to a tripod
Screw the tripod screw into a tripod screw hole on the bottom of the camera.
The tripod should be placed on a level surface, and tighten the screw firmly by hand.
The tripod screw should be compliant with the following standards.
1/4 -20UNC
4= 4.5 mm to 7 mm
4= 0.18 to 0.27 inches
Caution
Installation of the camera using the tripod screws and screw holes should not be done for installation on a ceiling, shelf, or other high spot.
15
Installing the camera at a high spot
The camera can be mounted on a ceiling or on a shelf or stand located at a high spot using the supplied ceiling bracket.
The surface on which the camera will be mounted should be level. If you have to mount the camera on a tilted surface, make sure that the angle is less than 15 degrees to ensure the camera can pan/tilt properly.
Caution
•When you want the camera to be mounted at a high spot, such as on a ceiling, have a professional contractor do the job.
•When you mount the camera at a high spot, make sure the attachment materials to which the camera will be mounted and the fittings (except for accessories) are capable of supporting a weight of 60 kg or greater and that the installation is done properly. If the installation is not strong enough, the camera may fall, resulting in a serious injury.
•As a fall prevention measure, be sure to attach the supplied wire rope to the camera securely.
•When you mount the camera at a high spot, inspect the installation once a year for any loosened parts. Depending on the operation conditions, inspect more frequently.
