Precautions

Typical CCD Phenomena

This Sony product has been designed with safety in mind. However, if not used properly electrical products can cause fires which may lead to serious body injury. To avoid such accidents, be sure to heed the following.

Heed the safety precautions

Be sure to follow the general safety precautions and the “Operating Precautions.”

In case of a breakdown

In case of system breakdown, discontinue the use and contact your authorized Sony dealer.

In case of abnormal operation

• If the unit emits smoke or an unusual smell,

• If water or other foreign objects enter the cabinet, or

• If you drop the unit or damage the cabinet:

Disconnect the camera cable and the connecting cables.

Contact your authorized Sony dealer or the store where you purchased the product.

Operating Precautions

Operating or storage location

Avoid operating or storing the camera in the following locations:

• Extremely hot or cold places (Operating temperature: 0°C to +40°C [32°F to 104°F])

• Exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, or close to heating equipment (e.g., near heaters)

• Close to sources of strong magnetism

• Close to sources of powerful electromagnetic radiation, such as radios or TV transmitters

• Locations subject to strong vibration or shock

Ventilation

To prevent heat buildup, do not block air circulation around the camera.

The following phenomena may appear on the monitor screen while you are using a CCD These phenomena stem from the high sensitivity of the CCD image sensors, and do not indicate a fault within the camera.

Vertical smear

A “smear” may appear to extend vertically from very bright subjects, as shown below.

Video monitor screen

This phenomenon is common to CCD imaging elements using an interline transfer system, and is caused when electric charge induced by infrared radiation deep within the photo sensor is transferred to the resistors.

Aliasing

When shooting fine stripes, straight lines or similar patterns, the lines may become slightly jagged.

Blemishes

A CCD image sensor consists of an array of individual picture elements (pixels). A malfunctioning sensor element will show up as a single pixel blemish in the image. This is generally not a problem.

White speckles

When you shoot a poorly illuminated object at a high temperature, small white dots may appear all over the entire screen image.

color video camera.

Pale vertical smear

Very bright subject (such as an electric lamp, fluorescent lamp, sunlight, or strong reflected light)

Overview

Transportation

When transporting the camera, repack it as originally packed at the factory or in materials of equal quality.

Cleaning

• Use a blower to remove dust from the lens or optical filter.

• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the external surfaces of the camera. Stubborn stains can be removed using a soft cloth dampened with a small quantity of detergent solution, then wipe dry.

• Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, benzene or thinners as they may damage the surface finishes.

example shows the identification number “ID=1”, the community name “public”, and enables sending of traps to the host having the IP address “192.168.0.101”.

2. Setting Commands

The unit supports the following setting commands of SNMP.

GET, POST

http://ip_adr/snmpdconf/snmpdconf.cgi? <parameter>=<value>&<parameter>=...&...

First, perform the settings of the following parameters.

2 describes the case of “mib-2.system.

sysObjectID.0”. You cannot change this parameter.

3 describes the case of “mib-2.system.

sysLocation.0”. This field is used to describe information on the location of this camera. Nothing is set at the factory.

Using the SNMP

1) sysLocation=<string> Set the case of “mib-2.system.sysLocation.0” in the <string> position. The maximum length of <string> is 255 characters.

2) sysContact=<string> Set the case of “mib-2.system.sysContact.0” in the <string> position. The maximum length of <string> is 255 characters.

3) sysName=<string> Set the case of “mib-2.system.sysName.0” in the <string> position. The maximum length of <string> is 255 characters.

4) enaAuthTraps=<value> Set the case value of “mib-2.snmp.snmp EnableAuthenTraps.0” in the <string> position. Type “1” (enable) or “2” (disable) in the <value> position.

5) community=<ID>,<rwAttr>, <communityName>,<IpAddressString> Set the community name and the reading/writing attributes. <ID> describes the setting identification number (1 to 8), <rwAttr> describes a character representing the reading/writing attribute (“r”, “R”, “w or “W”), <communityName> describes the community name to be set, and <IpAddressString> describes the IP address of the host you allow access (0.0.0.0 for any host).

Example: To allow reading/writing by any host in the

“private” community and having the ID number “2”. community=2,w,private,0.0.0.0

http://ip_adr/snmpdconf/snmpdconf.cgi? snmpd=restart

6) trap=<ID>,<communityName>, <IpAddressString> Set the host you want to send traps to. <ID> describes the setting identification number (1 to 8), <communityName> describes the community name to send traps to, and <IpAddressString> describes the IP address of the host to send traps to.

Example: To specify the destination of traps as the

private community and the ID number “1”. trap=1,public,192.168.0.101

7) delcommunity=<ID> This parameter is used to delete the previous community setting. <ID> describes the community setting identification number (1 to 8).

8) deltrap=<ID> This parameter is used to delete the previous setting of the host to send traps to. <ID> describes the trap setting identification number (1 to 8).

When you have finished changing the SNMP setting information using the above parameters 1) to 8), check the changed settings using an inquiry commands. If the changed settings are OK, restart the SNMP using the following CGI command.
