Precautionary Notes
Avoid installing in the following locations:
Where the unit is exposed to rain or water
Where the ambient temperature exceeds the range of 0∞C ~ +40∞C (recommended)
Where there is vibration
Dusty areas or areas with oil or gas
The sensitivity will automatically increase when using this unit in a dark location with the
AGC on (Full Auto on). At this time the ??screen may appear rough??; however this is not a
malfunction.
When using Full Auto on for the white balance of this unit, the tint may appear slightly
different from that of the actual color due to the principle of the automatic white balance
tracking circuit; however, this is not a malfunction.
When shooting a highly bright object such as lamps, etc. white tails may appear above and
below the object on the screen. This is an elemental characteristic seen when shooting solid
objects referred to as the smearing effect, and is not a malfunction.

2. Connecting to a network
Turn on the power of only one VN-C1U.
Connecting VN-C1U to a network and turning on the power will connect the unit to a network with the
following IP address.
Note
Factory set IP address : 192.168. 1. 2
All VN-C1U at the time of shipment have the same IP address. Correct
access cannot be obtained when turning the power of multiple units on at the
same time due to overlap of ID addresses. Always turn on the power of one
unit at a time and proceed with the following VN-C1U IP address setup.
In the case where doubling of IP addresses occur, correct access may not be
achieved unless waiting for at least 10 minutes after making correction, or
turning off all network devices then turning them back on.
To power outlet
When connecting to a HUB, use a straight cable.
When connecting directly to a PC, use a crossing cable.
Special adapter
Shielded
modular cable
To retain electromagnetic compatibillity,use the provided
ferrite core when connecting to VN-C1U.
Install the ferrite core within 50mm
of VN-C1U-side connector.
