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.
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
copyrighted material, be sure to check the license agreement of the copyrighted material
thoroughly.
When rights or rights holders are involved with regard to the targeted duplicating subject,
permission may be required for shooting or using (processing) it. Be sure to check the licensing
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

Connect 12 V (+) to terminal =DC12V+
For AC24V
Connect 24 V (~) cables to terminals ~AC24V.
PoE
Connect the network cable to the RJ45 terminal using a switch.
Adjusting the Camera Position
The dome camera has three axes for positioning the camera. While monitoring the
picture on the monitor, adjust the camera position as follows:
Pan Adjustment (A) For Wall Mount and Tilted Ceilings: Rotate the lens base
(maximum 360°) until you are satisfied with the field of view.
Horizontal Rotation (B) Rotate 3D assembly in the base. Do not turn
assembly more than 360°as this assembly may cause the internal cables to
twist and disconnect or break.
Tilt Adjustment (C) After loosening the thumbnuts, position the camera as
desired, then finger –tighten the thumbnuts to set the position.
Caution
Do not turn the lens more than 360° as this may cause internal
cables to disconnect or break.

13
Adjusting Zoom and Focus
Loosen the zoom lever (D) / locking screw by turning it counterclockwise.
Rotate the zoom ring to achieve the desired image coverage.
Loosen the focus lever (E) / locking screw by turning it counterclockwise.
Rotate the focus ring to adjust the appropriate focus.
If re-adjustment is necessary, repeat the steps above.
Retighten the zoom lever（D）/ locking screw and the focus lever (E) / locking
screw.
Caution
Securely retighten the locking screws to prevent loss of
adjustment.
