Powering Cameras (Do not power up camera until you have read this manual)
SEE240 12v DC ONLY
The SEE240 requires a 12v DC regulated power supply providing a minimum of 130mA. When
connecting to any 12v DC power supply, always use a regulated supply. The camera has a terminal
connection. This camera is polarity sensitive so ensure that the positive and negative connections
are correct. If incorrectly connected, damage to the camera may result. The 12V DC cameras require
a power supply that has a continuous rating of 130mA or higher per camera. It is recommended that
you allow 33% headroom per camera to be on the safe side especially taking into account any extra
load created by adding an auto-iris lens (typically 10mA). The power supply you choose must be a
well regulated one giving a smooth regulated 12V DC output and it is recommended that it should
be rated at no less than 200mA. If you are fitting the camera in a housing and using a heater, these
invariably require 250mA and this needs to be added to the 200mA if same PSU is used.
WARNING - This power supply must not be a security type used in intruder alarms as the over
voltage may damage the camera and void the warranty. The earthing arrangement of an intruder type
alarm PSU may give rise to problematic “earth-loops” and poor voltage regulation can give
poor/noisy image quality. The terminal strip will facilitate easier and faster power connection
without the hassle of soldering.
The terminal connection can be seen in the picture
on the right. The 12V+ and -0v connections from
the power supply must be connected correctly. If
you have a 2.1mm jack plug connected to your
power supply you can use the power lead with 2.1
jack socket supplied. Note that the 12V PSU positive
is the wire that is connected to the centre pin of the
jack plug and the 0V wire is connected to the outer case.
SEE243 DUAL VOLTAGE 12vDC / 24vAC
If you are fitting the camera in a housing and using a 24v AC heater, these invariably require more
than 650mA, and this needs to be added to the 200mA if same 24v AC PSU is used.
The CAM243 is a dual voltage camera allowing connection
of 12vDC or 24vAC power supply. This camera is not
polarity sensitive so the positive or negative can be
connected either way round. Using 12V DC supply requires
a power supply that has a continuous rating of 177mA or
higher per camera. It is recommended that you allow 33%
headroom per camera to be on the safe side especially taking
into account any extra load created by adding an auto-iris
lens (typically 10mA). The power supply you choose must
be a well-regulated one giving a smooth regulated 12V DC
output and it is recommended that it should be rated at no
less than 250mA. If using a 24v AC power supply it should
be rated at no less than 143mA plus headroom = 200mA.

Fitting the Camera Lens
C or CS Mount Lenses
Most lenses available now are CS mount lenses. CS mount lenses are shorter and more compact
than the older C mount lenses. Whether you are using CS mount or C mount lenses, either will work
with these cameras without the need for a spacer ring.
Just screw the lens into the camera and just fit it finger tight.
On the camera body you have a back focus adjuster and sliding
this moves the CMOS sensor closer or further away from the lens.
CS lenses are fitted closer to the sensor so set adjustment
so that the sensor is at its highest position.
Once you have fitted the lens and plugged in the 4 pin connector to the camera body you can switch
on power to the camera. If you have a picture on the monitor, then adjust the zoom control first to
display the view required albeit out of focus, then adjust the focus control. If you are unable to fine
focus the camera you may need to alter the back focus adjuster which is described previously.
Setting Up an Auto Iris Direct Drive Lens for different Light Levels
The brightness setting in the menu determines when the IRIS of the lens opens and closes. It is
important to set this correctly as if the brightness level is set too low, you may get satisfactory
pictures during the day but at night not enough light can enter the camera giving poor quality
pictures. The trick to setting up the brightness level is to set it up in the brightest possible
conditions, i.e. midday on a sunlight day and keep the IRIS open to its maximum without a too
bright picture. This means at night in low light, the IRIS will be open as much as possible and give
the best results. Generally brightness levels are set at 50% by default in the Exposure menu, but
from experience it is recommended to try this setting at 75% first.
Auto-Iris Direct Drive Connections
Auto Iris type lenses require the 4-pin connector to be
attached to the camera. It is important that this connector is
wired correctly. If the lens is a direct drive lens, this will
normally be pre-wired and you can simply plug the lens into
the camera. Note that the 4 pin connector on the lens will only
fit one way using the guide channel on the camera body.

Connecting the camera to other equipment
This traditional camera comes with a BNC for video and a 2 pin adapter for power. A short power
lead (approx. 16cm long) is supplied that connects to a psu with a 2.1 power jack and terminal
connections at other end, for connecting to terminal connector on back of camera. Ensure that cables
are connected with the correct polarity if using the 12vDC model SEE240. The SEE243
12vDC/24vAC model is not polarity sensitive.
Accessing the Camera Menu
The camera video format can be selected from TVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS. CVBS is the analogue
format. Connect the HD camera to control equipment using a female BNC-BNC lead. When using
a co-ax type cable such as RG59 or similar, the outer braid of the co-ax provides the “0V
GROUND” connection and the inner core provides the “Video” connection.
When you are in correct format, press the joystick button in, momentarily, if you wish to access the
menu.
First power the camera up when it is connected to a monitor or DVR and
monitor, and see if the required format displays a colour picture.
If not, press the joystick enter button for 3 seconds. The joystick is
accessed by sliding the side cover back next to the 4 pin lens connection.
The enter button is shown here
Repeat until picture displays in colour and is sharp.
(Note that picture may be in b/w in low light levels or the cellophane lens
cover has not been removed).
Alternatively if you use the menu, you can change the camera format in
the menu:
Example - Change camera format to TVI:
<System> <Output> <MAIN OUTPUT ANALOG OUT0
<System> <Output> <ANALOG OUT0 TVI

Use this setting to increase brightness by opening camera iris. Useful for improving night time
viewing by using in conjunction with the Sens-Up option. However be aware to consider possible
effects when there is strong sunlight in summer that if setting brightness to high it may cause the
picture to white out.
Recommendation is to set brightness to 15.

Flicker
Shutter speed changes allow you to freeze moving objects without ghosting but reduce the amount
of available light the faster the shutter operates. At night the slower the shutter speed the more light
is available. The Flicker option sets the shutter speed at 1/250 that synchronises with fluorescent
tubes so that the pulsing effect is minimised.
Recommendation is to leave this in Auto.
SENSUP Off /x2/x4/x8/x16/x32
The SensUp option allows the shutter speed to be reduced allowing additional light to be captured.
Increasing brightness helps night time viewing (see BRIGHTNESS setting above). If set too high
and SensUp is slowing shutter speed down to a lower speed than any movement speed, ghosting can
occur.
Recommend that SensUp is switched to x2 or greater but higher settings can cause ghosting.
AGC 1 ~ 20 (Default = 10)
For better performance in low light conditions the AGC (Automatic Gain Control) can be increased.
This has the effect of making the picture brighter but it may also add more noise as it amplifies all
aspects of the video signal. Snowy pictures can be caused when SensUp levels are increased.
Recommend AGC is decreased below 10 if Sensup is set. Set to 9 if SensUp x2.

Backlight Compensation when set, can balance light levels during day and night so that light hitting
objects viewed, is evenly spread across the picture. There are three options HLC, BLC and WDR
that can be selected.
HLC
(High Level Backlight Compensation)
Level 1 ~ 20 / Mode –All Day / Night Only
HLC is high level backlight compensation that will darken a bright area e.g car headlights. This can
be set for all day or night only. The lower the level the more compensation is applied. Note that
using the night option may be best as daytime pictures generally give a more even spread of light
apart from sunlight issues.
Recommend only to use on Night Only if bright lights are causing complete video loss.
BLC
(Backlight Compensation)
H-Pos –V-Pos –H-Size –V-Size
BLC is the standard setting for low level light differences. Select an area where BLC is required.
Using the H-Pos (Horizontal Position) and V-Pos (Vertical Position) followed by H-Size
(Horizontal Size) and V-Size (Vertical Size) create a box where light balancing is required.
WDR
(Wide Dynamic Range) Normal / ROI (Region of Interest) / Weight –Low / Middle / High
WDR is used for surveillance applications where there is a large difference in foreground and
background light levels. Without the option switched on, views by cameras looking through
windows may not give good reproduction outside. Also where there are areas of shadow and bright
sunlight, the WDR option helps to balance light levels. ROI provides an option to create up to 4
areas using WDR rather than applying to the whole picture.
Recommend using WDR where balancing light levels in warehouses or large buildings is
difficult. Also helps when light is entering a window or door entrance.

Day & Night menu controls light settings and predominantly provides options for using the
cameras’ Infra-Red facilities. There are four sub-options namely External, Auto, Colour and Black
& White. This camera has no IR board but has a True Day Night Filter so is IR sensitive.
EXTERNAL
This option does not use the internal CDS sensor to measure the available light. With cameras using
their own IR light source, this option can give the best results. Note that this option has a manual
adjustment for setting IR switch on according to lux level from day to night and from night to day,
plus an option for applying a delay factor. This stops switching until a pre-determined lux level
remains constant. There is also the option to switch off the IRs.
Recommend to try this option as camera has no internal IRs but is IR sensitive
AUTO
The standard Auto function uses the internal CDS to measure available light. This uses AGC
(Automatic Gain Control) and Anti Saturation to measure picture quality before switching which is
used in conjunction with a pre-determined time interval when lux levels remain constant. There is
also the option to switch off the camera IRs.
COLOUR
This option will remain in colour mode day and night. There are no sub menu settings. This will
only be applicable when light levels at night allow the camera to continue working at 4 lux or
higher.
B&W
When this option is selected the camera will remain in black and white mode, day and night.
The only sub menus available are Anti Saturation and the option to switch off the camera IRs.

DIGITAL NOISE
REDUCTION
DNR

DNR Off / Low / Middle / High
Digital Noise Reduction is generally applied when the Sens-Up feature is used to improve night
time views in low light conditions. Using the Sens-Up option slows the shutter speed but this
increases noise and causes grainy picture effects. DNR helps to minimise this effect. The options
low, medium and high, apply different levels of noise reduction and therefore have to be tested to
gain the best result as light levels will be different at every site and location.
Recommend to leave off even when Sense-Up is on and if grainy picture is created then test
starting at low, and leave camera on the best setting.

IMAGE
The Image menu covers a variety of options including sharpness, mirror, defog, shading and privacy
masking facilities.
Sharpness (1~ 10 for CVBS / CVI / TVI / AHD)
Depending on the camera format selected, the format/s will be in dark type for adjustment.
The sharpness control is done by digital correction and the best way to set this option is to set level
to maximum of 10, then flick back to 1, to see the difference. Then adjust to display sharpest picture
without displaying heavy black lines around subjects.
Gamma 0.55 / 0.65 / 0.75 / 0.45 (Default 0.55)
Gamma correction controls and adjusts the overall brightness of an image.
Recommend trying each option and select best quality picture
Mirror Off / On
This option changes a left handed view to a right handed view if switched on.
Flip Off / On

ACE Off / Low / Middle / High

contrast as light levels changes through the day. Low, middle or high options are available.
