3. Do not install the camera in the high temperature environment.
Installed the camera away from stoves, or other heat
generating devices as the high temperature could cause
deformation, discoloration or other damages of the camera.
Install the camera at where the temperature range will stay
between -35℃~+50℃for 12VDC,-45℃~+50℃for 24VAC.
4. Never face the camera toward the sun.
Never aim the camera at the sun or other extremely bright objects
whether it is in use or not.
5. Cleaning

video device through a 75 ohm type coaxial cable with BNC female
connector at cable extension.
3. Connect the 24VAC or 12VDC regulated power source of the camera
(power jack) to the power-in jack with 2mm plug. For 12VDC
power source, please make sure the power plug is center+ outer-
for heater normal operation.
4. Our factory settings is for you to get the best image within about 3~5
meters (for veri-focal lens f=3.5~8mm) or 5~10 meters (for
veri-focal lens f=9~22mm) . If it is out of focus, or any other
adjustment is required, follow the procedures below.
a. Remove the fixing screw in the front, which hold the sun shield

power has been disconnected.
(B) There is a desiccant pack attached to the housing base under the
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

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.

AGC (Automatic Gain Control) Off/On
AGC ON: The sensitivity increases automatically when light is low.
AGC OFF: A-low-noise picture is obtained under a low light condition.
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.
