Key Features
• Brilliant video quality
The Network Camera offers the highly efficient H.264 video compression, which drastically
reduces bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising image quality. Motion
JPEG is also supported for increased flexibility.
• Dual streams
The Network Camera can deliver dual video streams simultaneously at full frame rate in all
resolutions up to D1 (720x480 in NTSC, 720x576 in PAL) using Motion JPEG and H.264 (or
MPEG-4). This means that several video streams can be configured with different
compression formats, resolutions and frame rates for different needs.
• Image setting adjustment
The Network Camera also enables users to adjust image settings such as contrast,
brightness and saturation to improve images before encoding takes place.
• Intelligent video capabilities
The Network Camera includes intelligent capabilities such as enhanced video motion
detection. The encoder’s external inputs and outputs can be connected to devices such as
sensors and relays, enabling the system to react to alarms and activate lights or open/close
doors.
• Power over Ethernet
Support for Power over Ethernet (IEEE802.3af) enables the unit, as well as the analog
camera that is connected to it, to receive power through the same cable as for data
transmission. This makes for easy installation since no power outlet is needed.
• Audio support
The Network Camera also supports two-way audio.
• Improved Security
The Network Camera logs all user access, and lists currently connected users. Also, its full
frame rate video can be provided over HTTPS.

on the back of the camera. The connector is polarized and can only be inserted into
the jack one way.
3. Apply power to the camera.
9
4. The OSD AE menu in the lens select should be in the “VIDEO”.

5. Adjust the focus ring on the lens for an optimum picture. If a picture is not visible,
set the lens for proper exposure by adjusting the ALC (Automatic Level Control) and
the level on the lens. The ALC setting can range between AVG (average) or PK (peak).
A midrange setting is appropriate for most applications.
For ALC adjustments: AVG To slow the reaction of the lens to changing light, set
the range to the AVG setting to average the video level from the camera. Use when
there are bright spots in the picture such as lights or glare from the sun.
PK To increase the speed of the lens reaction to the changing light, set the lens
adjustment to PK so the lens will adjust to the brightest or peak object in the video.
Use this setting if you want to see the brightest object and not the background
objects.
For Level adjustments: Adjust the level control for the best picture during the day.
A night adjustment may not provide the proper setting for controlling the light during
the day.
6. Set the back focus of the camera before the final adjustment of the video level.
7. If the auto iris has a gain adjustment and the picture oscillates between open and
closed under bright lights, slowly turn the gain adjustment counter clockwise until the
oscillating stops. Increase the light getting to the camera by adjusting the level
control and re-adjusting the gain control.
• DC auto IRIS lens installation & adjustment
1. Solder the lens control wires to the connector supplied with the camera.
Pin Name Wire Color
1 Damp Coil - Blue
2 Damp Coil + Red
3 Drive Coil + White
4 Drive Coil - Green

2. Attach the DC-type auto iris lens to the lens mount on the front of the camera.

3. Plug the connector into the auto iris jack on the side of the camera. The connector is
polarized and can only inserted into the jack one way.
4. Apply power to the camera.
5. The OSD AE menu in the lens select should be in the "DC↓".
6. Adjust the auto iris lens for an optimum picture using the LEVEL control on the "DC↓"
of the OSD AE MENU.
• Manual IRIS lens adjustment
When using a manual iris lens, turn the iris ring on the lens to the OPEN position and adjust
the manual iris for the appropriate range. Adjust during the brightest conditions, opening
the lens to the minimum f-stop yielding a good picture under the brightest scene conditions.
Do not saturate the picture.
The manual iris is used in indoor applications where lighting from windows can considerably
affect the light level of the room.
• Back Focus adjustment
For best results, perform back focus adjustments at night or while using a #6 or #8
welder's glass in front of the lens. The focus of the camera will change slightly if the
camera iris was adjusted on a light scene, then changes to a dark scene. However, the
camera will remain in focus if the iris was focused on a dark scene and the scene
lightens.
1. The lens should be mounted on the camera before applying power.
2. If a picture is visible, focus on the picture. If the picture is not visible, open the iris
on the lens. Open the lens as wide as possible by placing the welder's glass in front
of the lens and forcing the lens to automatically open.
3. When the iris is open to the widest point, re-adjust the focus for clear picture. If a
clear picture is not possible, set the focus ring to midrange.
11
4. Loosen the back focus lock screw.

5. Adjust the back focus ring for a clear picture.
6. Tighten the back focus lock screw.
7. Fine tune the focus with the focus ring on the lens.
8. Remove the welder's glass from in front of the lens.
9. Adjust the iris of the lens for the best picture quality.
• Zoom lens back focus adjustment
The objective of back focusing a zoom lens is similar to that of a fixed focal length
camera except the back focus is also adjusted to maintain the focus when "zooming" the
lens in and out on a scene.
1. Choose an object at the farthest range set for viewing with a zoom lens.
2. Make sure the iris of the lens is wide open. Do this by adjusting the camera at night
or use a welders glass in front of the lens.
3. Adjust the focus to the stop on the far range.
4. Adjust the zoom on the lens to obtain the widest picture.
5. Loosen the back focus lock screw.
6. Adjust the back focus ring for the clearest picture.
7. Tighten the back focus lock screw.
8. Adjust the zoom on the lens to the far telephoto position.
9. Adjust the back focus ring for the clearest picture.
10. Adjust the zoom on the lens back to the widest picture.
11. Loosen the back focus screw.
12. Re-adjust the back focus for the clearest picture.
13. Tighten the back focus lock screw.
14. Repeat the previous steps as necessary to maintain a clear picture throughout the
entire zoom range.

2. Installation
For the operation of the Network Camera, it is necessary to connect a network cable for
