Hardware Installation
2. Hardware Installation
2.1. Cautions
Do not install the camera in extreme temperature conditions. Do use the camera
under conditions where temperatures are within 0°C ~ +50°C : (32°F ~ 122°F)
Do not install the camera under unstable lighting conditions. Severe lighting
change or flicker can cause the camera to work improperly.
Do not install or use the camera in an environment where the humidity is high. It
can result in poor-quality image.
Do not disassemble the camera. There are no user serviceable parts inside it.
Opening or removing the camera’s cover may expose you to dangerous voltage
or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel only.
Do not touch the imaging surface of sensor. Use a soft cloth with alcohol to clean
the surface if it is touched accidentally.
Ensure the supply voltage is correct before operation!
Do not focus the camera on the sun directly.

Installation/Configuration
The positions marked with circles show
the holes for mounting screw.
There is an alternate hole for the power
cable, Ethernet cable and alarm cable.
When this hole is used, the upper hole has
to be sealed with the plastic cork.
These 4 plastic corks should never be
removed when water-proof is a critical
requirement.
Page 12

Hardware Installation
With reference to the following figure, connect the power cable with a 12V DC
supply, Ethernet cable through the LAN adapter and alarm cable to the camera.
After mounting the camera on the wall or ceiling, connect the analog video output to a
monitor by using the analog video cable. Loose the screw to adjust the direction
(pan/tilt) of the camera.
Tighten the screw to fix the direction of the lens. Then, adjust the focus by tuning the
ring of the lens.
Finally, disconnect the analog video cable and close the camera cover.

FL: Flickerless
FL: In FL mode, the shutter speed is 1/100sec. (NTSC system) / 1/120sec.
(PAL).
If choose FL mode, [AES] switch should be off.
NOM: Normal position
AGC: Automatic Gain Control
ON: AGC level of gain varies from 0 to 26dB.
OFF:AGC OFF. The level of gain is fixed at 0dB.
BLC: Backlight Compensation
When the object is dark by strong light, please turn on BLC to make object
become bright.
AES: Automatic Electronic Shutter
