camera which is designed to absorb any moisture trapped inside the
housing during adjustment. To avoid excessive moisture build up,
it is recommended that the camera not be installed in rainy or
excessively damp conditions. It is also advisable to limit the
number of times the housing cover is removed. The desiccant pack
can be replaced if condensation develops inside the housing.

Control Switches

??The 4 control switches are also located on the side circuit board, the
switches in orders are for Flickerless, Back Light Comp, Auto Gain
Control and Line Lock.
FL(Flickerless)Normal/On
When picture flicker fiercely, turn FL on, then the camera will stabilize the
speed of electronic shutter at 1/100(NTSC) or 1/120(PAL) automatically,
and reduce the flicker immediately. The default setting is Normal.
BLC (Back Light Compensation)Normal/On
When BLC is turned on, the AGC, ES and IRIS operating point is
determined by averaging over the center area instead of entire field-of-view,
so that a dimly-lit foreground object at center area can be clearly
distinguished from brightly-lit backgrounds.
BLC should not be used unless it is needed to compensate for back-lit. The
default setting is Normal.

The default setting is On.
LL (Line-Lock)Off/On
To select the sync mode between Internal Sync.(LL off) and Line-Lock
(LL on).
Set the line-lock off, the camera will synchronize to the internal time base.
Set the line-lock on, the camera’s vertical synchronization can be driven by
the AC signal in the power lines.
The default setting is Off
Note: Line-Lock sync mode operation is possible only when used with an
AC power source; it’s not possible with a DC power source.
