2.2 Dimensions

2.3 FUNCTION DESCRIPTION

[SIDE VIEW]

[REAR VIEW]

2.4 CONNECTION

2.4.1 POWER INPUT TERMINAL

Power input terminal: Receives DC12V from the power supply.

Use Certified / Listed Class 2 power supply only.

2.4.2 VIDEO OUT CONNECTOR

BNC: This BNC connector provides a 1.0Vp-p/75 ohms composite

video signal.

2.4.3 NETWORK CONNECTOR

Network Connector: The Network Camera supports the operation

through the network. Therefore, it is necessary to connect a standard RJ-45 cable to it. Generally a cross cable is used for directly connection to PC, while a direct cable is used for connection to a hub.

2.4.4 VIDEO AUTO IRIS INSTALLATION & ADJUSTMENT

The camera supports video-type auto iris lenses which adjust to changing light levels. Perform the following steps to install and adjust a video-type auto iris lens.

1. If necessary, solder the lens control wires to the connector supplied with the camera.

2. Attach the video-type auto iris lens to the lens mount on the front of the camera.

3. IMPORTANT: Plug the connector from the lens into the auto iris jack on the side of the

camera. The connector is polarized and can only be inserted into the jack one way.

4. Apply power to the camera.

5. The OSD AE menu in the lens select should be in the “VIDEO↓”.

6. Adjust the focus ring on the lens for an optimum picture. If a picture is not visible, set the

lens for proper exposure by adjusting the ALC (Automatic Level Control) and the level on the lens. The ALC setting can range between AVG (average) or PK (peak). A midrange setting is appropriate for most applications.

For ALC adjustments: AVG To slow the reaction of the lens to changing light, set the range to the AVG setting. Use when there are bright spots in the picture such as lights or glare from the sun. PK To increase the speed of the lens reaction to the changing light, set the lens adjustment to PK so the lens will adjust to the brightest or peak object in the video. Use this setting if you want to see the brightest object and not the background objects.

For Level adjustments: Adjust the level control for the best picture during the day. A night adjustment may not provide the proper setting for controlling the light during the day.

7. Set the back focus of the camera before the final adjustment of the video level.

8. If the auto iris has a gain adjustment and the picture oscillates between open and closed

under bright lights, slowly turn the gain adjustment counter clockwise until the oscillating

stops. Increase the light getting to the camera by adjusting the level control and re-adjusting the gain control.

2.4.5 DC AUTO IRIS LENS INSTALLATION & ADJUSTMENT

The camera supports DC-type auto iris lenses. Perform the following steps to install and adjust a DC-type auto iris lens.

1. Solder the lens control wires to the connector supplied with the camera.

2. Attach the DC-type auto iris lens to the lens mount on the front of the Camera.

3. Plug the connector into the auto iris jack on the back of the camera. The connector is polarized and can only be inserted into the Jack one way.

4. Apply power to the camera.

5. The OSD AE menu in the lens select should be in the "DC↓".

6. Adjust the auto iris lens for an optimum picture using the LEVEL control on the "DC↓" of the OSD AE MENU.

2.4.6 MANUAL IRIS LENS ADJUSTMENT

When using a manual iris lens, turn the iris ring on the lens to the OPEN position and adjust the manual iris for the appropriate range. Adjust during the brightest conditions, opening the lens to the minimum f-stop yielding a good picture under the brightest scene conditions. Do not saturate the picture.

Manual iris lenses are generally used internally only

2.5 BACK FOCUS ADJUSTMENT

For best results, perform back focus adjustments at night or while using a #6 or #8 welder's glass in front of the lens. The focus of the camera will change slightly if the camera iris was adjusted on a light scene, then changes to a dark scene. However, the camera will remain in focus if the iris was focused on a dark scene and the scene lightens.

1. The lens should be mounted on the camera before applying power.

2. If a picture is visible, focus on the picture. If the picture is not visible, open the iris on the lens. Open the lens as wide as possible by placing the welder's glass in front of the lens and forcing the lens to automatically open.

3. When the iris is open to the widest point, re-adjust the focus for clear picture. If a clear picture is not possible, set the focus ring to midrange.

4. Loosen the back focus lock screw.

5. Adjust the back focus ring for a clear picture.

6. Tighten the back focus lock screw.

7. Fine tune the focus with the focus ring on the lens.

8. Remove the welder's glass from in front of the lens.

9. Adjust the iris of the lens for the best picture quality.

2.6 ZOOM LENS BACK FOCUS ADJUSTMENT

The objective of back focusing a zoom lens is similar to that of a fixed focal length camera except the back focus is also adjusted to maintain the focus when "zooming" the lens in and out on a scene.

1. Choose an object at the farthest range set for viewing with a zoom lens.

2. Make sure the iris of the lens is wide open. Do this by adjusting the camera at night or use a welders glass in front of the lens.

3. Adjust the focus to the stop on the far range.

4. Adjust the zoom on the lens to obtain the widest picture.

5. Loosen the back focus lock screw.

6. Adjust the back focus ring for the clearest picture.

7. Tighten the back focus lock screw.

8. Adjust the zoom on the lens to the far telephoto position.

9. Adjust the back focus ring for the clearest picture.

10. Adjust the zoom on the lens back to the widest picture.

11. Loosen the back focus screw.

12. Re-adjust the back focus for the clearest picture.

13. Tighten the back focus lock screw.

14. Repeat the previous steps as necessary to maintain a clear picture throughout the entire zoom range.

2.7 Network Device IP Assignment

When a camera, Encoder or Decoder is first connected to the network it has no IP address. So, it is necessary to allocate an IP address to the device with the IP Setting Utility on the CD.

Open the program folder installed with the provided CD and execute “Smart Setup”.
