䢇To save energy, when it is not being used turn
the system’s power off.
䢇This camera has been designed for indoor
use. It cannot be used outdoors.
䢇Do not install or use the camera in the
following places.
●In a place exposed to rain or moisture.
●In a place with vapor or oil soot, for example in
a kitchen.
●In a temperature outside the operating
temperature range (-10 f to 50 f).
●Near a source of radiation, X-rays, strong
radio waves or magnetism.
●In a place where corrosive gasses are
generated.
●In a place subject to vibration.
●In a place with excessive dirt.
●In an environment where there is cold air or
near the air outlet of an air conditioner.
䢇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 colors may be affected.
䢇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. This is not a malfunction
however.
䢇When this camera is used in the ATW mode,
the recorded colors may be slightly different
from the actual colors due to the operational
principles of the auto-tracking white balance
circuit. This is however not a malfunction.
䢇If a high-intensity object (such as a lamp) is
shot, the image on the screen may have
vertical lines (smear) or blur (blooming) at its
periphery. This is a characteristic of the CCD,
and is not a defect.
䢇Observe the following when carrying out
camera maintenance.
●Turn the power OFF before proceeding to
carry out maintenance.
●Clean the dome cover lens using a lens wiper
cloth (or a tissue). If it is contaminated
seriously, clean the contaminated part with a
cloth (or a tissue) which has been soaked in a
solution of water and a neutral detergent.
䢇If the DAY/NIGHT switch is turned on, the
mode changes automatically to black and
white in dark places. As the sensitivity
increases, the image may look grainy and
white spots may appear.
When changing modes, bright portions of
image may be emphasized but this is not a
failure of the camera.
䢇When the supply voltage of the camera is low,
the input protection circuit within the camera
may be triggered and the power of the camera
may turn off automatically. Make sure to use a
supply voltage for the camera that is within -
10 % of the rated voltage.)
䢇When the camera is moved from a cold area
to room temperature, condensation may occur
causing the camera to malfunction as a result.
In this case, turn on the power after waiting for
a few hours.
䢇This unit enlarges the rotation angle to
support wide range set up.
For TK-C215V4 , when the zoom of the lens is
set to WIDE end and the tilt angle is set
around ±80⬚,the dome cover can be visible
into the image depending on the rotation
angle.
In this case, adjust the image angle if
necessary. (Apg.19)
