manual carefully to obtain the best result and keep this manual for future reference.

PRECAUTIONS

Operating

●

Before using make sure of power supply and

connection of video output.

Power supplied without voltage stabilization or

the voltage maintained at 12VDC±10% may

cause damage.

●

While operating if any abnormal condition or a

malfunction is observed stop using the camera

immediately then call your local dealer.

Handling

●

Do not disassemble the camera and never

touch parts inside the camera.

●

and vibrations to avoid possible damage.

●

When attaching or removing the lens handle

with care moisture and dust does not enter

the camera.

●

Do not shoot any source of bright light. if the

object contains very bright areas bright vertical

or horizontal lines may appear on the screen.

This is called "smear" a phenomenon which

often occurs with solid-state pickups and is not

a malfunction.

Installation and storage

●

Do not point the camera at the sun. This could

damage the camera whether it is operating or

not.

●

ture could exceed the allowable range.

Be sure the ambient temperature is less than

40 ℃in installations intended for long term

continuous operation.

●

Avoid installing in a humid or dusty plase.

●

tion. This could damage sensor and other

components and cause a malfunction.

●

Avoid installing in places where there are

strong magnetic fields and electric signals.

●

Avoid installing in places where the camera

would be subject to strong vibrations.

●

Never expose the camera to rain and water.

Cleaning

Turn the power off and wipe off the dirt with a

dry soft cloth. If it is extremely dirty use furniture

Make daily check for proper operation for surveil

-ance use. In order to maintain normal operation

the output of camera should be checked by

user everyday for a clear and focused picture.

The brightness indicates DC level of DC lens in High

Luminance mode.

In Low Luminance mode brightness indicates AGC

level.

Note : Outdoor illumination levels may exceed

150 000 lux which is outside the range

that can be controlled by the electronic

shutter. For proper operation of elect

-ronic shutter If illumination levels ex-

ceed 10 000 lux use a auto-iris lens.

BACKLIGHT

Two backlight modes can be selected according to

conditions.

BLC Mode

The backlight compensation function provides com

-pensation by increasing the brightness of the

overall screen so that subjects being shot with a

loss of dark detail due to backlight will have just

the right brightness level.

The execessive front lighting compensation function

provides compensation by reducing the brightness

of the overall screen so that subjects being shot

which are overexposed due to excessive front lighting

will have just the brightness level.

HLC Mode

High light compensation is a function that improves

the visual recognition of license plates and other

such objects by suppressing or marsking strong light

sources(such as headlights of automobiles) in dark

places.
