Introduction

Before permanently fixing your camera in the location which you wish to observe, fix it temporarily and connect the necessary cables and check using your Video Monitor or TV to ensure you have a clear field of view. Check also that the camera will not be pointing directly into a strong light source (check at different times of the day to ensure the sun will not interfere with the image) or that there are any other obstructions. Once this is complete, adjust the camera for focus and check that you have the correct field of view. Once you are satisfied that the image is appropriate to your requirements, fix the stand to the location correctly using the appropriate screws, and if necessary wall anchors. After mounting the Camera Stand in the location the camera will be used, screw the camera to the stand and tighten firmly. Use the mounting hole in the top of the camera if mounting the camera under a roof, ceiling or similar surface to make sure that the picture shows correctly on your monitor.

Fitting and Setting The Lens

1 2

Fitting the lens:

Make sure the CS Connector Locking Screw is tight, then by holding the Lens Body(1) carefully screw the lens into the CS Connector on the front of the camera body making sure you do not cross the thread.

Adjust the lens to suit your application:

Turn the Focus Adjustment Ring (2) clockwise or anti-clockwise to focus the camera. If the Lens will not focus, Loosen the CS Connector Locking Screw and turn the CS Connector either in or out until correct focus is obtained. Once you have adjusted the focus correctly, re-tighten the CS Connector Locking Screw firmly, but do not over-tighten.

CS connector locking screw - Tighten this screw to lock the CS connector. Loosen to adjust the CS connector to assist with focussing the lens if you cannot get a clear image using the focus ring.

Description of controls and connectors on the back panel of the camera Lens:

Video - Switch to this if using a Video Drive auto iris lens (ignore if using Manual Iris lens) DC - Switch to this if using a DC (Direct) drive auto iris lens (ignore if using Manual Iris lens)

PL:
Power LED - Lights up when power to camera is on
Dip Switches:
AWB ON - Auto White Balance ON
AWB OFF - Auto White Balance OFF
AGC - Auto Gain Control On/Off (On = Low gain control, Off = High gain control)

EE- Electronic Exposure control (In EE mode, a continuously variable electronic shutter is employed to automatically control the exposure time of the CCD image sensor according to the incoming light level. With this mode selected, a fixed or manual iris lens can be used instead of an auto iris lens)

AI - In AI mode, the CCD shutter speed is fixed to 1/60(1/50) second. And the incoming light level is controlled by the auto iris lens.

BLC - Back Light Compensation On/Off (On=Auto BLC, Off=Strong BLC (very bright background))

Level:

Phase Adjustment - When using a DC drive Auto Iris lens adjust this control for best image quality

Video Out:

BNC Female connector - Connects to BNC Male connector as fitted to supplied extension cable

12V DC IN:

Power connector - Connect using supplied 12Volt Power Adaptor or extension cable
