If this camera or cable connected this unit is used near a location where strong electrical or magnetic waves are generated (eg. radios, TVs, transformers, monitors, etc.), noise interference may occur in the image or its color may be affected.
When the AGC circuit is on, brightness of the screen may not change upon switching the Auto Iris mode (Normal, + or
Under certain brightness conditions, switching the Auto Iris mode (Normal, + or
When this camera is used in the White Balance (ATW) mode, the colors captured may differ slightly from the actual colors due to the operational principles of the
When shooting a bright object (eg. lamps, etc.), white vertical streaks may appear on the object on the screen. This is a phenomenon (smear phenomenon) normal to CCDs
When the camera is used to monitor the same position over prolonged hours (such as 24 hours of continuous monitoring), contact resistance of the panning mechanism may increase. This may cause noise interference in the image or unstable operation of the V.Networks Controller. To prevent this from occurring, turn the power of the system off and on again (to initialize camera) once a week and clean the contacts.
The dome cover is hemispherical in shape, and therefore images tend to be distorted at the edges of the hemisphere. The edges of the hemisphere is masked for this camera. When the camera is tilted and pointed in the horizontal direction, therefore, edges of the hemisphere may enter the angle of view, hence causing the upper end of the screen to appear dark and the image to go out of focus.
When shooting an object that is near a light source (eg. lightings) or with a large difference in brightness, ghosting may occur on the screen. This phenomenon is due to the characteristics of the dome cover and
Ensure to use the Converter Unit that has been supplied.
When playing back images by connecting a coaxial cable to the VIDEO OUT terminal, the image on the screen may appear shaky (rotational motions are not smooth) when using the Manual or Auto Pan operation particularly near the Tele end. This phenomenon is due to the characteristics of the motor and is not a malfunction.
Certain hubs/switches that are equipped with the SNMP feature may come with a broadcast or multicast control function. Proper viewing of multicast images created by this camera may not be possible if this function is enabled.
Do not touch the dome cover with your hand. This may dirty the cover and cause the image quality to deteriorate.
To clean the camera.
¥Do so upon turning off the power.
¥Use a lens cloth (or paper) to remove dirt from the dome cover. The camera may acquire dirt over a short period of time, depending on the environment of use.
When there is excessive dirt, wipe using a lens cloth (or paper) upon wetting it in a neutral detergent diluted with water.
Do not connect cameras other than

Focus may deviate slightly upon stopping of a zoom operation near the Tele end manually or using a preset selection.
In addition, the manual zooming operation may not always be smooth.
