Others
䢇The cable stopper of the alarm terminal may
come off in some cases. When mounting the
cables, make sure to do so carefully.
䢇If a high luminance object (such as a lamp) is
shot, a white smear may appear at the upper
and lower ends of this object on the screen.
This phenomenon (smear) is characteristic of
solid-state image sensors, and is not a
malfunction.
䢇Some hubs/switches of products that are
equipped with intelligent features may
include a broadcast/multicast suppression
function. Viewing of multicast images on this
product may fail if this function is enabled.
䢇Electricity can be supplied to this product
either by connecting the AC 24 V power
supply or using the PoE. Make sure to select
only one mode of electrical supply.
Connecting the power cord and the LAN
cable for the PoE at the same time may result
in failure or malfunction of the camera.
(APage 17,18))
䢇This product comes with a built-in AGC
circuit. When using this product with AGC set
to AMidB, AHighBor ASuperB, the sensitivity
level increases when the image is dark, and
the screen may appear grainy as a result.
However, this is not a malfunction.
䢇When using this product with the white
balance set to AATWB, the displayed color
may differ slightly from the actual color
according to the condition of the object due to
the principle of the automatic tracking white
balance circuit. This is not a malfunction.
䢇
The electronic shutter of this product is set to
A 1/30 B by default. For regions with a
commercial power supply frequency of 50 Hz,
switch to the flickerless mode during use
under fluorescent lights (excluding inverter
lighting equipment) to prevent flickers.
䢇When the Easy Day/Night feature is enabled,
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 color and black-and-white
images, the brighter area on the screen is
emphasized, which may reduce the visibility.
However, this is not a malfunction.
䢇If the power supply voltage is momentarily
cut off or reduced due to lightning, turning on
of the air conditioner’s power, etc., the image
may be disrupted or noise interference may
occur.
䢇
When using multicast, make use of a
