Operating Precautions
Do not install the camera in 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°C to
50 °C.
In a place at which corrosive gases are emitted.
Near a source of radiation, X-rays, strong radio waves or magnetism.
In a place subject to vibration.
In a place with excessive dirt.
Maintenance
Wipe 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.

9
Power supply
Please make sure the power source is DC12V / AC24V / PoE. Only connect the camera to this power
system.
When using AC24V power supply, do not connect the AC24V cable to commercial power supply. If it is
connected by mistake, the internal circuit may be damaged. Do not use the camera and make sure to
send it to the nearest JVC dealer for inspection.
Real time clock
The real time clock of the camera will be initialized by power off over 3 days. In such case, please set
data/time manually, or set NTP server. If the real time clock is initialized, event log, data in SD card, and
mail sent by the camera do not show correct time.
SD card
SD card is fragile and not reliable for long term use. Our company will not be liable for damages resulting
from the use of SD card. Frequent back up of data is recommended. Data of SD card will be lost by
troubles below.
Electrical or Mechanical Shock to SD card.
Power off or ejecting of SD card during recording.
Rewriting times exceeds upper limit of the SD card (The upper limit depends on grade of the SD
card.)
Energy Conservation
When the camera is not in use for a long time, turn off the power for safety and energy conservation
reasons.
Copyright Protection
With 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.
Unauthorized 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

conditions thoroughly.
Disclaimer
We 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.
Others
Because the camera controls auto exposure by shutter speed, flicker can be shown by fluorescent light.
To reduce the flicker, please select PAL mode if the power is 50Hz, or NTSC mode if the power is 60Hz.
(Refer to INSTRUCTIONS “4 Overview of Navigation and Controls” - “Video Type”).

Camera Installation
Note All the installation and operations here should conform to your
local electricity safety rules.
Checking Unpacked Camera
When you receive the camera from the shipping agency, please check whether
there is any visible damage to its appearance. The protective materials used for
the package of the camera can protect most accidental clashes during
transportation. Then you can open the box to check the accessories.
Please check the items in accordance with the list.
Mounting
1. Attach the camera to a pending mount.
Insert the screws on the camera stand into either of the screw holes on the
base. Then tighten them up.
2. Mount the camera onto the ceiling/wall and fasten it securely.
3. Connect the Safety Wire (Fall Prevention Wire, not supplied) to the
camera and the wall/ceiling.
Warning
To prevent the camera from falling off, ensure that it is connected to a
firm place (ceiling slab or channel) using a Safety Wire (Fall
Prevention Wire is not supplied).
Pay also careful attention to the length, strength, wiring, and material
(insulating properties) of a Safety Wire (fall prevention wire) to be
used. The length should be as short as possible within the
permissible range of the mounting length. The wire should be strong
enough to withstand the total weight of this product and the fixer.
(Pay also attention to the finishing at the end of the wire.) The
thickness of the wire’s end of camera side should be less than 1 mm.
Caution Must be isolated camera and the wall/ceiling which are connected by

Connecting the Camera to a Personal Computer
Setting IP This is a network-based camera and must be assigned an IP address first.
The camera’s default IP address is 192.168.0.2 and sub mask is
255.255.255.0. To change IP address, open Network Settings page described
later.
If your network uses a DHCP server, an IP address can be assigned
automatically from the DHCP server by enabling DHCP in the Network
Settings page described later.
Connecting the Camera to a Personal Computer
1. Connect the network cable to the camera and then turn on the camera’s
power.
2. Set the personal computer’s IP address. The camera’s default IP address
is 192.168.0.2 and sub mask is 255.255.255.0.
