Overview
Product Features
Supports Full HD-SDI Video
Using a diagonal 6mm (1/3”) 2 Megapixel CMOS, the camera produces clear
quality images.
Excellent Low Illumination Image Quality
By adopting a high-sensitivity colour CMOS chip the camera provides clear
image quality even under low illumination conditions (0.02 Lux with SENS-UP,
x60).
NR (Noise Reduction) Function
The high-performance NVP-2400 DSP chip effectively removes low-light gain
noise, and after images, to provide clear images even in dark environments.
Defog Function
Images can be achieved in extraordinary environmental conditions, such as
fog or mist, or in those with a strong luminous intensity using DR (dynamic
range).
Digital Day & Night
This camera has a function that automatically selects the mode that is
appropriate for daytime or night-time conditions. The COLOUR mode operates
in daytime conditions to provide optimum colour rendition, and B/W mode
operates in night-time conditions to enhance the denition of the image.
DWDR (Digital Wide Dynamic Range)
For images having a high contrast between bright and dark areas from –
with difcult lighting conditions such as backlight - this camera selectively
illuminates darker areas while retaining the same light level for brighter areas
to even out the overall brightness.
Miscellaneous Functions
HSBLC (High Light Compensation), SENS-UP, FLIP (H/V-REV, ROATATE),
D-ZOOM and PRIVACY functions are available.
OSD
A multi-lingual user-friendly OSD (On-Screen Display) menu is provided.

Installation & Connection
Mounting
Disconnect the power before proceeding.
With a normal commercial lens, you may encounter images
being out of focus when switching to BW mode . To prevent
this, it is recommended using an IR megapixel lens.

Installation & Connection
Connecting with Other Devices
Connecting to a Monitor
Connect the video out port of the camera to the video input
port of the monitor.
• On the initial installation of the camera connect the
camera to the monitor to check the connection status.
• When connecting a general monitor device to the HD-SDI
video output, you need to use a signal converter.
• You can set the video output type to either NTSC or PAL.
Video Cable
• The cable connecting the camera’s video output and a
monitor is a BNC coaxial cable as shown below.
• If the distance between the camera and the monitor
exceeds the recommended maximum, please us an
auxiliary video amp.
DC12V (RED)

Installation & Connection
Resistance of Copper Wire [at 20°C (68°F)]
As shown in the table above, you may encounter a voltage-
sag depending on the wire length and gauge. If you use an
excessively long wire for the camera power connection, the
camera may not work properly.
• Voltage for proper camera operation: DC12V±10%,
• Voltage drops shown in the table above may vary
depending on the cable manufacturer and the cable type.
