•Near a source of radiation,
•In a place subject to vibration.
•In a place with excessive dirt.
●If this camera and the cables connected to this camera are used where there are strong electromagnetic waves or where there is magnetism present, for example near a radio or TV transmitter, power transformer or an electric motor, the picture may produce noise and the colours may be affected.
●This camera incorporates an AGC circuit. As a result, when it is used under low light conditions, the camera sensitivity is automatically boosted and the picture may look uneven. However, this is not a malfunction.
●When this camera is used in the ATW mode, the recorded colours may be slightly different from the actual colours due to the operational principles of the

The unit is to be powered by a DC 12 V or an AC 24 V power supply.
The AC 24 V power supply should conform to the following:
●Caution for operating the video iris lens In case the video iris lens is set to an extremely low level, malfunction – such as the hunting phenomenon in which the iris opens or closes unintentionally – can occur.
In such a case, first set the “LEVEL” potentiometer on the lens to the H position (iris open), and then adjust it to an optimum level.
●A CCD is made by high technology, boasting an exceptionally high level of precision with an effective pixel of more than 99.99%. Although there is a less than 0.01% pixel defect (whitish flaw, blackish flaw), this does not mean that the CCD is out of order.
●The cable stopper on the terminal block can come off sometimes. Therefore, be sure to take enough time and fix the cable securely.
●When a highly bright subject is shot, sometimes undulations can be observed on the vertical lines of the subject. However, this phenomenon is peculiar to the unit and is not a sign of malfunction.
