Be sure to turn OFF the power switch of all devices to be connected.
In addition, read the instruction manual for each device carefully so that you can connect devices correctly. Note
that incorrect connection may cause smoke or malfunction.
Connect the video cable.
Use the coaxial cable to connect the camera's video output (VIDEO OUT) connector to the video input (VIDEO
IN) connector of your monitor or other peripheral device.
Connect the power cables to the power terminals of the one-touch connector.
Use a power cable with an AWG wire (20, 21 or 22).
Although power wires have no polarity in this case, the earth wire must be connected to the earth (COMMON)
terminal.

Cable type RG-59U (3C-2V), 250 m maximum
Cable type RG-6U (5C-2V), 500 m maximum
Cable type RG-11U (7C-2V), 600 m maximum
Using lower-grade cables will cause the attenuation of the video and synchronization signals,
preventing correct transmission.
An RG-59U coaxial cable may be used if the distance between devices you want to connect is short.
However, avoid using it for piping or air wiring.
Use CCTV/Video-compatible coaxial cables.

Note the polarity (+/–) when you connect 12-VDC power cables.
Incorrect polarity may cause damage to your camera.
Plug in the power cable to the wall outlet.
When the camera is turned ON, the monitor shows the startup screen with system information on your camera
for approximately 10 seconds and displays live video images.
While monitoring the video images displayed on the monitor, set the operating conditions and required functions
of the camera using the menu screen.
Connect the following cables as required.
For detailed information on these connections, refer to the separate installation manual.
ALARM IN cables: GRAY/BLACK, BLACK
Used to connect alarm switch, infrared sensor, or other external devices.
ALARM OUT cable: BLUE
Used to connect a buzzer, lamp, digital video recorder, or other peripheral device.
FOCUS/ZOOM cable: YELLOW, ORANGE
Used to remote control the camera.
UTP cables: SKYBLUE, PINK
Use these twisted pair cables to output the video signal to an external device.
A voltage drop occurs depending on the thickness of the power wires. If you must use a long power
cable, determine the cable type by ensuring that the voltage at the power input terminal falls in the
operating range of this unit.

A surveillance system consists of mainly the following peripheral devices. Please use SANYO products for
connection with this camera.
Displays surveillance video for monitoring. The monitor also displays the menu screen.
Records surveillance video. For surveillance systems, the use of a DVR is recommended. DVRs ensure a long-
hour recording without video degradation.
Provides not only the remote control of the camera and connected devices, but also the centralized control of a
surveillance system consisting of multiple components.
This is a simplified camera controller. It enables you to set the camera’s menu options from a remote location.
Be sure to disconnect the camera control unit when setting is completed.

If the electronic sensitivity boosting power cannot be set:
[MOTION] is set to “ON”, or [AGC] is set to “OFF”.
Setting the electronic sensitivity boosting power causes the following:
The CCD exposure time will be increased automatically in dark situations. This may result in
conspicuous afterimages, blurs, and white spots in moving target objects.
The [SHUTTER] (electronic shutter) setting (“SHORT” or “LONG”) and the [V-RESO UP] (vertical
resolution increase) setting will be cancelled.
The [EI] (electronic iris) setting will be cancelled.

Setting the electronic iris (EI) causes the following:
The [SHUTTER] (electronic shutter) setting (“SHORT” or “LONG”) will be cancelled and the
[SENSE UP] (electronic sensitivity boosting) will not work.
Under extremely bright lighting, the electronic iris cannot adjust the light entering through the lens,
resulting in a phenomenon such as a smear. This may be prevented by changing the lighting angle
or other measures.
Under fluorescent lighting, the camera may cause the target images to flicker. To prevent this,
replace the fluorescent lamps with incandescent lamps.

Use this setting to set the white balance according to the installation conditions of the camera.
ATW: Auto trace white balance
AWC: Push-lock auto white balance
3200: Fixed white balance (for indoors)
5600: Fixed white balance (for outdoors)
FLUO: Fixed white balance (for fluorescent lighting)
MWB: Manual white balance
Auto trace white balance (ATW) automatically adjusts the white balance to provide optimal colors, even if the
light source for the target objects is changed.
Use the / button to select [WHITE BALANCE], use the / button to choose “ATW”, and
press the SET button.
The ATW SETTING screen appears.
Select [MENU] and choose “BACK” or “END” to complete the setting.
To mask a specific light source, or to set the SMART ATW function, do the following.
If the target objects include an extremely bright light source, set a mask as follows to correct the white balance.
Use the / button to select [MASKING], use the / button to choose “ON”, and press the
SET button.
The ATW MASKING screen appears, with a blinking mask pattern shown at the top left.
Use the buttons to move the mask pattern over the light source you want to mask and
press the SET button.
This sets a mask at the position where you moved the mask pattern. A new mask pattern starts blinking.

Repeat this step to set masks as many as you want.
When finished setting masks, use the button to move the mask pattern to the bottom area of
the screen and press and hold the button for approximately three seconds.
The [PRESET] and [MENU] items appear on the screen.
Select [MENU] and choose “BACK” or “END” to complete the setting.
The smart function automatically calculates the information on colors contained in the target images.
Adjusting the white balance may not produce desirable results if a single color occupies the majority of the
images. In such a case, use the smart function.
Use the / button to select [SMART ATW] and use the / button to choose “ON”.
This sets the smart function.
To delete a mask, move the mask pattern over it and press the SET button.

Do not use the smart function in environments where the color temperature varies.
In an outdoor environment for example, adjusting the white balance may not produce desirable
results because the color temperature varies depending on the time of the day (at sunrise, daytime,
and sunset), weather (sunny or cloudy), and other conditions.
