Safety Notice

Mount this unit to a stable place with sufficient strength.

Tighten all screws and locking mechanism firmly.
If the screws are loose, this unit may fall resulting in injury. Falling from height may lead to
serious accident.

Use at correct power supply and voltage.
The rated input voltage of this unit is DC 12 V. Supplying a power beyond the rated value may
cause damage to this unit, and it may lead to smoke or fire at the worst. Input a voltage
according to the rated voltage of the camera.

This unit is able to divert lightning conduction to itself and the connecting cables to some
extent, but this is not 100 % guaranteed. For installation locations subject to lightning strikes,
make sure to apply lightning induction to the connecting cables.
Avoid rubbing the metal edge.
Rubbing too hard may lead to injury.
If there is any abnormality such as smoke, abnormal noise or foreign object, turn off
the power supplied to the camera. Remove the camera and immediately contact the
retailer where you purchased the product.
Do not disassemble or modify. Doing so may impair the functions of the product or
cause an electric shock.

Phenomena Specific to CMOS Image Sensors
0
The following phenomena that may appear in images are specific to CMOS (complementary metal-
oxide semiconductor) image sensors. They do not indicate malfunctions.
0
White Spots
Although the CMOS image sensors are produced with high-precision technologies, fine white spots
may be generated on the screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic rays, etc. This is due to the principle
of CMOS image sensors and is not a malfunction. The white spots tend to be seen especially in the
following cases:
- When operating at a high environmental temperature
- When the shutter speed is slowed down
- When you have raised the master gain (sensitivity)
0
Aliasing
When fine patterns, stripes, or lines are shot, they may appear jagged or flicker.
Others
0
For safety and power saving purposes, turn off the system when it will not be used for a long time.
0

ALC (Auto Lens Control) is controlled by the Lens Iris, Shutter Speed and Gain. When the amount of
light input is large (bright), narrow the iris or increase the shutter speed; on the contrary, when the amount
of light input is little (dark), open the iris or decrease the shutter speed. The Based Shutter value
configured will become the amount of light between these two conditions. The configured range is 1/60
to 1/10000 for the 59.94 Hz system and is 1/50 to 1/10000 for the 50 Hz system.
