•Do not remove the SD memory card while the
system is in operation. Removing the card while
the system is in operation can cause the system
to malfunction and/or corrupt data stored on
the SD memory card.
•An SD memory card is a consumable product
with a nite service life. Prolonged use will
damage the card's memory sectors and result
in data loss or memory card failure. Test the SD
memory card regularly and replace it whenever
necessary.
•Video Out (CVBS)
Connect the provided cable's jack to this port and the
connector on its opposite end to a monitor. Use these
ports for previewing video and not monitoring video.
Go to Remote Setup (System > General) and choose
a video out signal. (NTSC or PAL)
When removing the cable, hold and slightly pull
the jack connected to the camera. Holding and
pulling the cable may cause the cable damaged.
•Lens Rotator
Loosen the rotator screw, and turn the lens rotator
clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust the lens'
rotation angle by using the lens rotator handle. Then
tighten the rotator screw to lock it in place.
•Horizontal Rotator
Used to adjust the lens' horizontal angle.

•Network Port
Connect a network cable with an RJ-45 connector to
this port. If using a PoE switch, you can supply power
to the camera using an ethernet cable. For more
information on PoE switch use, refer to the switch
manufacturer's operation manual. You can congure,
manage, and upgrade this camera and monitor its
images from a remote computer over the network.
For more information on network connection setup,
refer to the IDIS Discovery operation manual.
•Power (DC12V)
Connect this to the power adapter. A A-type jack
is used for the power adapter. (External diameter x
internal diameter: 5.5 x 2.5)
•Audio
- O (Out): Connect an amplier to this port (line
out). This device does not feature a built-in audio
amplier unit and therefore requires the user to
purchase a separate speaker system with a built-in
amplier.
- I (In): Connect an audio source to this port. (line in)
•Alarm
- O (Out): It is the BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor)
- open collector output. If the voltage and current
exceed the specication limit (Max. load: 30mA,
Max. Voltage: 5VDC), the product could be
damaged. When connecting the device which
exceeds the specication limit, refer to the picture
(circuit) below.
If used with an external inductive load(e.g. relay),
a diode must be connected in parallerl with the
load for protection. Otherwise, the product could
be damaged.
- I (In): Connect an alarm-in device to this port.
(Mechanism: Choose between an NC (Normally
Closed) type or an NO (Normally Open) type) →
Connect a mechanical or electrical switch to the
alarm in port and the GND (ground) connector.
Alarm in range is 0V to 5V. In order to detect alarm
input from an electrical switch, the signal must be
higher than 4.3V from an NC switch or less than
0.3V from an NO switch and must last for longer
than 0.5 seconds.
