Cautions: Injury or equipment damage may cause if any of the cautions is neglected.
Warnings Follow these safeguards
to prevent serious injury or
death.
Cautions
Follow these precautions
to prevent potential injury or
material damage.
Warnings
1. In the use of the product, you must be strict compliance with the electrical safety regulations of the nation and
region.
2. Input voltage should meet both the SELV(Safety Extra Low Voltage) and the Limited Power Source with AC
24V or DC 12V according to the IEC60950－1 standard. Please refer to technical specifications for detail
information.
3. Do not connect several devices to one power adapter as adapter overload may cause over-heat or fire hazard.
4. Please make sure that the plug is firmly connected on the power socket.
5. When the product is mounted on wall or ceiling, the device shall be firmly fixed.
6. If smoke, odor or noise rise from the device, turn off the power at once and unplug the power cable, and then
please contact the service center.
7. If the product does not work properly, please contact your dealer or the nearest service center. Never attempt
to disassemble the camera yourself. (We shall not assume any responsibility for problems caused by
unauthorized repair or maintenance.)

Cautions：
1. Make sure the power supply voltage is correct before using the camera.
2. Do not drop the camera or subject it to physical shock.
3. Do not touch CCD (Charge Coupled Device) modules with fingers. If cleaning is necessary, use clean cloth
with a bit of ethanol and wipe it gently. If the camera will not be used for an extended period, please turn on
the lens cap to protect the CCD from dirt.
4. Do not aim the camera at the sun or extra bright places. A blooming or smear may occur otherwise (which is
not a malfunction however), and affecting the endurance of CCD at the same time.
5. The CCD may be burned out by a laser beam, so when any laser equipment is on using, make sure that the
surface of CCD will not be exposed to the laser beam.
6. Do not place the camera in extremely hot, cold(the operating temperature shall be－10℃～＋60℃), dusty
or damp locations, and do not expose it to high electromagnetism radiation.
7. To avoid heat accumulation, good ventilation is required for operating environment.
8. Keep the camera away from liquid while on using.
9. While on a delivery, the camera shall be packed in its original packing, or packing of the same texture.
10. Regular part replacement: a few parts (e.g. electrolytic capacitor) of the equipment shall be replaced
regularly according to their average enduring time. The average time varies because of differences between
operating environment and using history, so regular checking is recommended for all the users. Please
contact with your dealer for more details.

1.4 Chief Introduction about Function
Motion Detection: In the surveillance area, the appearing motion object will trigger alarm. User can select
suitable sensitivity level with corresponding environment.
Color B/W auto switch: The camera will display color image and become monochrome automatically at night.
AGC: When object being shot look dim, please turn on AGC. It is propitious to enhance brightness. To output
standard video under different illumination, the range of auto gain control must be large enough. When under low
illumination,AGC will increase camera’s sensitivity, and output bright and clear video.
S/N ratio:It is the ratio of Signal voltage and noise voltage. The ratio is larger, the effect of noise is less, and the
image is more spotless.

4
OSD (On Screen Display): The camera supports friendly menu interface on the screen, and it’s convenient for
user selecting expected function.
White Balance: Because the camera could not adjust the color temperature according to the light alteration as the
eyes, that will cause color deviation. White balance is the white rendition ability of the camera to adjust the
problem according to the environment automatically.
ICR Auto Switch: The filter will filter infrared light during the daytime and change to normal filter at night to
ensure a high sensitivity and clear image.
BLC: If there is glaring light in the background of the object being shot, the object will look very dim. In this
situation, turning on BLC function will make the object look bright and clear, but the background scene will be
overexposure.
