Page 16
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.

GAIN POINT: When you set MIN SPEED to be
slower than the output image frame rate, the
shutter speed controls exposure based on the
GAIN POINT setting. Normally, when exposure
is controlled with sensitivity, noise becomes
prominent if sensitivity is increased to make the
image brighter. You can decrease noise by
adjusting the exposure through lower shutter
speeds to cancel sensitivity adjustments. When
you do this, turn on GAIN POINT and set the
POINT POSITION to the sensitivity at which you
want the shutter speed to change. When the
shutter speed reaches MIN SPEED for exposure
adjustment, increase sensitivity to adjust
exposure. This setting is enabled when MODE is
either FULL AUTO or IRIS Pri.
POINT POSITION: This becomes enabled when
GAIN POINT is turned ON. When sensitivity
during exposure adjustment reaches the value for
POINT POSITION, exposure is adjusted through
a slower shutter speed. This setting is enabled
when MODE is either FULL AUTO or IRIS Pri.
You cannot choose a value smaller than the GAIN
setting.
MAX SPEED: This sets the maximum (fastest)
shutter speed when exposure is adjusted with the
electronic shutter.
