How to Use This Manual

Preset Positions

¥The is a total of 100 preset positions that can be set, including the home position.

¥The TILT position can be set and operated only between 0¡ to 90¡ even when the item ÒFLIPÓ is set to ON.

Image sending may be affected when this is done on a network where multicast transmission devices are connected, or on networks for which there is transmission of voluminous broadcast data. When this occurs, ensure to employ a system design that separates the camera from other multicast or broadcast devices by making use of a switching valve or VLAN with a multicast control function.

Warning

Install at places that are strong enough to support the camera weight.

Install this camera at places that are strong enough to support its weight upon taking into consideration the vibration force during high-speed rotation as well as its mass (approx. 2.2 kg). For ceiling materials that are weak, such as overlay plywood and plaster boards, reinforce by applying reinforcements (veneer plywood). If reinforcement is inadequate, image on the monitor screen may be blurred due to vibrations. In the worst scenario, it may even fall and cause serious injuries if there is someone underneath.

Caution Points to pay attention to during operation.

Note Details for reference, such as functions or constraints during use.
