Operating Precautions
mStorage and Location of Use
vDo not install the camera in the following places.
- In a place exposed to rain or moisture.
- In a place with vapor or oil, for example in a kitchen.
- When the ambient temperature rises above or falls below the
acceptable range (from -10 fto 50 f)
- In a place at which corrosive gases are emitted.
- Near a source of radiation, X-rays, strong radio waves or
magnetism.
- In a place, such as vehicle installation, which is subject to vibration.
- In a place with excessive dirt.
vUsing this unit in the vicinity of the transmitting antenna of a radio or
TV, devices that emit strong electromagnetic waves such as a
transformer or motor, or wireless devices such as a transceiver or
mobile phone may give rise to noises in the image and changes in its
color.
vThis camera has been designed for indoor use. When using it
outdoors, it is necessary to use an outdoor camera housing
(optional).
mMaintenance
vWipe the camera with a dry, soft cloth to remove any dirt.
Do not use benzene or thinner to wipe the camera. Doing so may
melt the surface or cause it to fog. For tough stains, wipe with a
neutral detergent diluted with water, followed by wiping with a dry
cloth.
vReplace the IR LED unit every 3 years if it is used for 8 hours per
day.
mEnergy Conservation
vWhen the camera is not in use for a long time, turn off the power for
safety and energy conservation reasons.

mCopyright Protection
vWith the exception of the user being the copyright holder or when
permission such as for duplication has been granted by the copyright
holder, permission is required in principle for the duplication,
modification, or transmission of copyrighted material.
vUnauthorized duplication, modification, or transmission of copyrighted
material may constitute a copyright infringement, and the user may
be liable to compensate for any damages. When using copyrighted

mDisclaimer
vMotion detection is not a feature to prevent theft or fire. We do not
accept liability for any damages that may occur.
vWe will not be responsible for any inconveniences or disturbances
caused in the event of privacy invasion as a result of camera
footages of this product.
mOthers
vWhen using this camera with [AGC] set to “MID” or “HIGH”, the
sensitivity increases automatically for dark images and the screen
may appear grainy, but this is not a malfunction.
vWhen the DAY & NIGHT selector switch is set to “AUTO”, the image
turns black-and-white in a dark location. As the sensitivity level is
increased in this case, the screen may appear grainy and more white
spots may appear. When switching between modes, the brighter area
on the screen is emphasized and visibility may be reduced. However,
this is not a malfunction.
<Continued on the following page>
Introduction
E-13

Operating Precautions (Continued)
vWhen shooting an extremely bright object (e.g. lamp), the image on
the screen may have white vertical tailings (smear) or expansion
(blooming) may appear around it. This is a characteristic of the CCD
and not a malfunction.
vWhen the white balance of this camera is set to “ATW-N” or “ATW-W”
and depending on the conditions of the object, the color tone may
differ slightly from the actual color due to the principle of the
automatic tracking white balance circuit. This is not a malfunction.
vWhen this camera is used under high temperatures, vertical stripes
may appear on the screen. This is a characteristic of the CCD and
not a malfunction.
vWhen this camera is moved from a cold to warm place, condensation
may occur and the camera may not work. In this case, leave the
camera under room temperature for about one hour before turning on
the power.
vWhen the power supply voltage is momentarily disrupted or drops
due to lightning, turning on the air-conditioner or the like, image
distortion or noise may occur.
vWhen the power supply voltage of the camera drops, the input
protection circuit inside the camera operates, and the camera may be
turned off. Make use of a voltage rating within ±10 % for the camera’s
power supply voltage.
vThe 3D noise reduction function of this camera may result in
afterimage of a moving subject. Afterimage is more likely to occur
when using the camera with [DNR LEVEL] set to “HIGH”. This is not
a malfunction.

Connection/Installation

Connection (Continued)
Memo vIf thin cables are used, the resistance of the cables will be
high and a significant voltage drop will occur when the
camera is at its maximum power consumption. Either use a
thick cable with low resistance or place the power supply
near to the camera and shorten the length of the cable to
restrict the voltage drop at the rated current of camera to
below 10 %. If voltage drop occurs during operation, the
performance will be unstable.
vDo not connect an AC 24 V cable to a commercial power
supply. If it is connected by mistake, the internal circuit may
be damaged. Sent the camera to the nearest JVC service
center for inspection as the internal circuit may be damaged.
vDo not connect DC 12 V and AC 24 V cables at the same
time.
vWhen using a DC 12 V power supply, ensure that the
polarities of the cable are correct.
Connecting the Monitor
Connect with a 75 Kcoaxial cable (BNC) such as RG-59 or equivalent.
