The camera supports network operation. By simply connecting a LAN cable to it, you can construct the most
advanced network monitoring system. From the Web browser (Internet Explorer) installed on your PC, you
can operate the camera via the network in an easy-to-use manner.
In addition, it is a PoE product that can be powered through a LAN cable, so you can install it in locations
where there is no power outlet nearby.
The camera has 4-megapixel CMOS sensor that produces clear images at ultra-high resolution.
The camera can deliver full HD H.264 video throughout the network. Connecting a high-definition monitor to
your PC enables full high-definition video monitoring.
The camera supports both H.264 video and JPEG image compression formats, which you can choose from
depending on the network environment.
The camera offers the focus assist function that supports focus adjustment at megapixel image resolution,
allowing you to fine-tune the focus in optimal conditions in an easy manner.
The camera's motion sensor function can work in conjunction with any external alarm device, facilitating the
construction of a high-level security system.
Installing associated software applications on your PC further extends the capabilities of your surveillance system.

Connecting an external switch, infrared sensor, or other device to these terminals enables the camera to
detect alarm conditions such as the entry of an intruder.
Day/Night switching
Normally, switching the camera between the color and black-and-white video modes is automatically
accomplished by the Day/Night function.
When used as Day/Night switching terminal, you can switch between color and black-and-white video modes
using an external control signal.
(This function is supported only by VCC-HD2300P/VCC-HD2300)
Using network operation, under [DAY/NIGHT], set [DAY/NIGHT] to “COLOR” and select the terminal
you want to use in [EXT ALARM].
Then, in [POLARITY] under [ALARM SETTINGS], select the signal polarity of the alarm input
terminal.
2Alarm output terminals (ALARM OUT1/2)
Connect a buzzer, lamp, or other alarm device to these terminals.
3COM terminal (Earth grounding terminal)
Connect the camera to your monitor via the supplied video cable.
You can perform focus and iris adjustments while monitoring live video on the monitor.
For details, refer to the “Basic Connections” section.
Use this socket to connect an optional auto iris lens.

Perform the following connections according to the installation environment and application of your camera.
Basic Connections
Alarm Input/Output Terminal Connections
Before attempting the following connections, be sure to turn off all components of your system.
Improper connection may cause smoke or failures. Before attempting to connect each system
component, carefully read the instruction manual that comes with it to familiarize yourself with the
correct connection procedure.
Connect the power terminals (24 VAC/12 VDC) of the camera to a power supply.
AConnection to 24 VAC power supply
Although the power terminals have no polarity, the earth grounding wire must be connected to the GND (earth
grounding) terminal.
BConnection to 12 VDC power supply
Note the polarity (+/–) of the power terminals when connecting the camera to a 12 VDC power supply.
Incorrect polarity may cause damage to the camera.
Be sure to use an 18AWG or thicker wire power cable.
A voltage drop may occur depending on the thickness of the power cable. If you must use a long
power cable, determine the cable type by ensuring that the voltage at the 24-VAC/12-VDC terminals
is within the operating range of the camera.
When using PoE to power the camera, do not use the camera's power terminals.
This camera is designed so that you can use all of its functions via network operation.
By connecting the network (LAN) socket of the camera to your PC using a LAN cable, you can configure and
operate it from the Web browser installed on your PC.
Introduction 8

Use a LAN cable no longer than 100 m (109.4 yards) with the shield type CAT5 or higher.
The supported Web browser is Internet Explorer Ver.6.0 SP2 or higher, or Internet Explorer Ver.7.0.
About the internet connection
Port forwarding for the video port must be enabled on the broadband router.
For details on how to set port forwarding, please refer to your router's Instruction manual.
To connect two or more cameras, on the NETWORK SETTINGS screen, assign them with port
numbers that are different from that of the first camera.
Using PoE
This camera supports PoE (Power over Ethernet). This means that you can install the camera in locations where
there is no 24-VAC/12-VDC power outlet nearby.
When using PoE to power the camera, do not use the camera's power terminals.
Do not power the PoE hub or PoE power adapter until you finish connecting the camera.
AConnecting the PC and camera through a switching hub
You can use a PoE-compatible switching hub to extend the transmission distance.
For details on the extendable distance, please refer to the hub performance in the specifications, etc.
BConnecting the PC and camera through a switching hub and a power adapter

To perform focus adjustment with the camera, connect the supplied cable to the MONITOR OUT socket of the
camera, and connect a monitor to the camera using a video cable.
After adjustment, be sure to remove the monitor cable.
To connect a cable, while pushing the protrusion of the terminal, insert the cable into the opening and then release
it.

Connect a buzzer, lamp, or other alarm device to one of the alarm output terminals (ALARM OUT1 or 2).
After connecting an alarm device, configure the output conditions for the corresponding alarm output
terminal (ALARM OUT1 or 2) via network operation on the ALARM SETTINGS screen.
Alarm output terminal configuration is also possible via remote operation.
Connect an alarm switch, infrared sensor, or other external device to one of the alarm input terminals (ALARM IN1
or 2).
After connecting an alarm device, configure the input conditions for the corresponding alarm input
terminal (ALARM IN1 or 2) via network operation on the ALARM SETTINGS screen.
To use the alarm input terminals as Day/Night switching terminals, follow the steps below.
(This function is supported only by VCC-HD2300P/VCC-HD2300)
Under [DAY/NIGHT], set [DAY/NIGHT] to “COLOR” and select the terminal you want to use in
[EXT ALARM].
On the ALARM SETTINGS screen, in [POLARITY], select the signal polarity of the alarm input
terminal.
You can connect an external switch to the ALARM IN1 terminal and use that switch to adjust the camera's internal
clock.
To do so, via network operation, configure the [CLOCK IN] setting on the CLOCK SETTINGS screen.
Introduction 11

Connect the lens cable plug to the auto iris lens socket provided on the left-side face of the camera.
It is recommended that you use a CS-mount DC auto iris megapixel lens (optional).
Keep the lens clean at all times.
The conversion ring (optional) is required to use a C-mount lens.
The lens cable plug must be changed if it does not fit into the auto iris lens socket. If so, contact the
distributor from which you purchased the product (or the agent that provides the installation service).
Introduction 12

After installing the lens to the camera, you need to perform the following adjustments for the lens.
AFocus Adjustment (FOCUS ASSIST)
BFlange Back Adjustment
CIris Adjustment (IRIS)
Using network operation, you can use the focus assist function to adjust the focus.
You may also configure the back focus position switching mode to automatically adjust the back
focus position when switching between the color and black-and-white video modes.
(This function is supported only by VCC-HD2300P/VCC-HD2300)
Use the focus assist function to accurately focus on subject in high-resolution megapixel image because otherwise
doing so would be extremely difficult.
If you are using a varifocal lens, adjust the focus using the following procedure.
If the focus assist function does not work properly because the camera produces too dark or too
bright video images, perform iris adjustment Cin advance.
The focus must be readjusted if the camera has lost focus due to difference in the subject distance or
ambient temperature, the deterioration of the lens and installation environment, and the like that have
been caused over the years.
