FEATURES
37x Optical Zoom
The built-in SCO-2370 optical zoom lens is a highly durable component. It features auto
focus, auto iris, and zoom functions.
High Resolution
By adopting a diagonal 1/4” 410,000 (NTSC) pixel, 470,000(PAL) pixel SONY CCD, the
camera produces clear picture quality with a horizontal resolution of 600TV lines for color
and a horizontal resolution of 700TV lines for BW mode.
SSNR3 (Samsung Super Noise Reduction) Function
The high-performance W-V DSP chip effectively removes low-light gain noise and
ghosting to provide clear images even in dark environments.
DAY&NIGHT(ICR)
This camera has a function that automatically selects the mode that is appropriate for
daytime or night-time conditions.
The COLOR mode operates in daytime conditions to provide optimum colors, and BW
mode operates in night-time conditions to enhance the definition of the image.
IP68 Approved/Dust and Rain Resistant
With dust and rain resistant design, the camera can be installed outside under building
eaves or places that are exposed to the dust and rain.
SSDR (Samsung Super Dynamic Range)
For images with high contrast between bright and dark Areas from difficult lighting
conditions such as backlighting, this camera selectively illuminates darker Areas while
retaining the same light level for brighter Areas to even out the overall brightness.
Communication
RS-485, Coaxial communication methods are supported.
- RS-485 Communications : SAMSUNG-T, SAMSUNG-E, Pelco-P, Pelco-D, Vicon,
Panasonic, Bosch, Honeywell, AD

COMPONENT NAMES AND FUNCTIONS
Heater & Fan
This product is equipped with built-in heater & fan, and capable of maintaining
appropriate internal temperature as well as defrosting and dehumidification.
Front cover
Heater
Fan
While powered, the heater operates according to the camera’s internal temperature.
(Note that the fan always operates if powered.)
While the camera is powered, the heater operates if its internal temperature drops below
0 °C. When the camera’s internal temperature reaches 10 °C, the heater stops operating.
Camera’s internal temperature is within -50°C ~ -10°C, the message “Low Temperature
Wait” appears on the black background. The camera initializes and outputs video signal
once it gets above -10°C.
Be careful not to touch the heater while installing if the ambient temperature is below than -10°C,
since the heater may operate immediately after applying the power.
If the front cover is cross threaded or not correctly tightened the camera housing will not be weatherproof.
When you combine the front cover, combine the triangle of front cover and triangle of main body
confront each other.
Frost can be found if the camera is left under -10°C and then powered, and the frost will be
removed automatically in about 3 hours.
The camera will be initialized if its internal temperature becomes 80°C or higher.

●INSTALLATION & CONNECTION
CONNECTING TO POWER
The recommended adaptor specification for SCO-2370N/P is AC 24V/1.5A over.
Please check the standard power requirement before connecting the power.
When the resistance value of copper wire is at [20°C(68°F)]
Copper wire size(AWG) #24(0.22mm²) #22(0.33mm2) #20(0.52mm2) #18(0.83mm2)
Resistance value(Ω/m) 0.078 0.050 0.030 0.018
Voltage drop(V/m) 0.028 0.018 0.011 0.006
As shown in the table above, voltage decreases as the wire gets longer.
Therefore having an excessively long distance between the power adaptor and the
camera may affect the camera’s performance.
ÂStandard voltage for camera operation : DC 12V±10% / AC 24V±10%
ÂThere may be some deviation in voltage drop depending on the type of wire and the
manufacturer.
Please use a power adaptor that meets the required standards.
Please connect the power after installation.
