FCC Information
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a class A digital device, pursuant to
part 15 of the FCC rules and also guaranteed with CE approval. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the
user will be required to correct the interference at his or her own expense.
The user's manual or instruction manual for an intentional or unintentional radiator shall caution the user that
changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
users' authority to operate the equipment.
♦ Warning
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.
This symbol alerts the user to the presence of non-insulated dangerous voltage within the
product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.
This symbol alerts the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.
►Handle the camera with care.
Be careful while handling or installing the camera. Do not drop it or subject it to strong shock or vibration to
prevent any damages to it. Do not disassemble it or place it on an unstable base.
►Never face the camera toward the sun.
The camera's picture may be influenced when working in unusual brightness environment. Sun light may do
influence on the picture quality or camera itself. Never aim the camera at the sun or other extremely bright
objects whether it is in use or not.
►Cleaning.
Do not touch the surface of CCD sensor by hand directly. Using lens tissue or a cotton tipped applicator and
ethanol to clean the CCD sensor and camera lens. When the camera is not in use, always put the cover cap on
the lens mount.
►Operation temperature.
This camera is designed for use in general purpose indoor CCTV application. Only operate your camera
between the temperature of -10℃ to +60℃(14℉ to 140℉)
When using a DC Drive or Video Drive Auto Iris Lens, turn off the AES. When a Fixed Iris or Manual
Iris Lens is used, turn the AES on to adjust the shutter speed automatically.
2. Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
AGC can automatically amplify the digital signal to adjust are for the difference of light level.
3. Auto Tracking White Balance (ATW) / Auto White Balance (AWB)
When the color difference is too obvious, turn the AWB on to have better balanced color, Set the
switches to ATW to have a normal color picture.
4. Aperture Gain (APG)
APG cam make the picture becomes sharper, switch to OFF for normal mode.
5. Back Light Compensation (BLC)
When BLC is ON, the AGC, AES and IRIS operating point is determined by averaging over the
center area instead of entire field-of-view, so that a dimly-lit foreground object at center area can be
clearly distinguished from brightly-lit backgrounds. When operating the camera outdoor, turn the
BLC on to get clear picture of object on screen. For indoor using or when operating the camera in
low light environment turn, the BLC ON as well.
6. DAY & NIGHT (ICR removable)
The camera provides automatic mode changeover from color to B/W or B/W to color by sensing
different light conditions. It remains at true color mode in the day condition for optimal color and
switched to B/W mode in night condition for clear viewing by removing the Infrared Cut Filter.
7. Flickerless (FLC)
This switch captures the wide and intense range of color of some light sources and adjust the color,
gain, electronic shutter control and tracking balance to produce a good quality color picture.
8. Internal Line Lock (INT / LL)
The Line Lock is designed to stabilize the image. Always switch it on. Line Lock sync is interchange
and only available when with an AC Power source. It's unavailable with 12V DC power.
(White balance mode-manual)
When you use this function, pointing the
camera to a specific area, ex: white
paper, you can then apply the color to
elsewhere.
For your reference, please check on

※ note: Please note that the values are approximations because many factors affect
1. Keep the cameras' power OFF during the installation.
2. Ensure that the input voltage is correct for the plug pack; both the camera and the plug pack may be
damaged if the voltage is incorrect.
3. Terminate the camera output to 75 ohms.
Use 75-ohm coaxial cable (RG-59/U, RG-6/U, RG-11/U).
Always set the last monitor termination switches to 75 ohms, and set the termination switches of
intermediate monitors to HIGH (HI-Z)

Auto Iris Lens Adjustments
♦
Once the lens is screwed in completely to its mechanical stop position, you will then be
able to rotate lens chassis back to suit the set-up position of the camera.
The back focus adjustment is accessible at the front end of the camera. It allows you to
adjust the back focal length or picture focus.
*Note: it does not apply to all types of lens, please contact with your dealer you
purchased your lens from.
♦ Troubleshooting
Problem What to Check
Is the system power on?
Is the cable connected properly?
- No picture appears on the monitor
- The picture is not clear
◎Note: If dust adheres to the lens, the picture quality will suffer.
To clean the lens, wipe lightly with a soft cloth or commercially available lens cleaning paper.
Has the lens cap been removed?
Is the illumination proper?
Is the monitor properly adjusted?
Is the lens mount ring proper?
Is the lens clear?
Is the lens properly focused?
Is the monitor terminated properly?
