Precautions
Do not install the camera in
extreme temperature conditions.
Do not touch the front lens of the
camera.
Never keep the camera pointed
directly at strong light.
Do not expose the camera to
radioactivity.
Do not install the camera under
unstable lighting conditions.
Do not drop the camera or subject
it to physical shocks.
Only use the camera under conditions
where temperatures are between
-10°C and +50°C. Be especially careful to provide
ventilation when operating under high
temperatures.
This is one of the most important parts of the
camera. Be careful not to leave
fingerprints on the lens cover.
It can cause malfunctions to occur. If exposed to radioactivity the CCD
will fail.
Severe lighting change or flicker can
cause the camera to work improperly.
Housing damage can compromise
wheatherproof ratings.
NOTE
* If the camera is exposed to spotlight or object reflecting strong light,
smear or blooming may occur.
* please check that the power satisfies the normal specification before
connecting the camera.

General Features
◑ Ultra High Sensitivity
- The built-in high sensitivity COLOR CCD produces a clear image even in 0Lux(B/W, IR-LED ON)or lower
illumination.
◑ 600TV Lines
- By adopting a diagonal 6mm(1/3") 410,000 (NTSC) pixel, 470,000(PAL) pixel SONY CCD, the camera
produces clear picture quality with a horizontal resolution of 600 TV lines for color and a horizontal
resolution of 700TV lines for BW mode.
◑ DNR3
- 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
- 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.
◑ SSNR
- 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.
◑ Miscellaneous Functions
- HLC(High Light Compensation), SENS-UP, FLIP(H/V-REV), D-ZOOM, SHARPNESS, MOTION DETECTION and PRIVACY
functions are provided.
◑ Disk Saving Effects
- Up-most and advanced DNR technology camera picture quality has a disk saving effects due to Image sizes
are smaller than standard CCTV camera image.
◑ Controlled by OSD Menu
- The camera can be controlled by selecting the menu text displayed on the monitor screen.

* ESC : Select this to control the shutter speed automatically. If ESC is
selected, the shutter speed is automatically controlled depending
on the ambient illumination of the subject.
* MANUAL : You can control shutter speed manually.
(NTSC MODEL : 1/60~1/120,000, PAL MODEL : 1/50~1/120,000)
* A.FLK : Select this when you see picture flicker, this can happen when the

select the AWC mode.
① When the color temperature of the environment surrounding the subject is out of the
control range (e.g. clear sky or sunset).
② When the ambient illumination of the subject is dim.
③ If the camera is directed towards a uorescent light or is installed in a place where
illumination changes dramatically, the White Balance operation may become unstable.
