2 Connections, Dimensions & Key Features
The camera is provided with a fly lead with a 2.1mm DC socket.
It is recommended to use a power supply that is rated higher than the current consumption of the
camera i.e. the current consumption is 85mA on so add approximately 50% headroom, and use a
regulated power supply rated at 130mA or above. The camera is polarity sensitive so connections
must be correctly made.

Selectable HD-TVI, HD-CVI, AHD and CVBS (Analogue) Output. As default the 2MP Covert
Cameras are set to HD-TVI which willwork with the ZipLite, ZipSupa and ZipXtreme DVRs,
however the output can be changed to AHD, CVI or CVBS ifrequired.
Note:- Whenusing CVBS for this camera, the image has a reduced field ofview, approximately
1/3 reduced.
This output can be changed either with the dip switches on the fly-lead ofthe camera. Please
note the “Output Mode”in the menu ofthe DVR won’t change the format, as the dip switch
overrides the output.
The dip switch configuration can be found below:-

4.1 Key Menu Settings
Exposure Mode - Globe is set as default, it automatically sets the required shutter speed for the
current light level. The shutter speed willautomaticallydetect the required length oftime to keep
the digitalsensor exposed to light. FLC option sets the shutter speed to stop synchronisationwith
lighting so that pulsing effect is minimised.
AWB (White Balance) - This allows the colour adjustment ofthe camera to be set up so
objects appear a naturalcolour. ATW (Automatic tracking white balance) continually tracks and
adjusts the white balance, making it suitable for use incameras inwhich the image content and
lighting are subject to changes.
Day & Night - This setting allows you to lock the camera in a colour or B&W mode or have it
automatically switch Externalis set as default, the switch between colour and black & white is
controlled by an externaltrigger In this a light dependent resistor. Delay can be set which will
instruct the camera to wait for a set lengthoftime before switching. This accommodates for any
temporary drops in light
DNR (Noice Reduction) - Noise Reductionis the process ofremoving noise fromthe video
signalby applying a digitalfilter. 2D noise reduction reduces noise in the foreground ofthe image
where as 3D noise reduction reduces noise in boththe foreground and the background ofthe
image.
D-WDR - Digitally adjusts the exposure in areas of the frame to maintain optimum levels in both
the dark and bright areas ofan image.
Reset - Defaults the camera to factory settings. This setting helps when fault finding issues with
the camera to ensure allsettings are defaulted.

Troubleshooting

5 Troubleshooting
5.1 Camera Rebooting / Turning Off
A. Check the voltage of the camera (under load) ifbelow 10.8V thenyouwillneed to move the
power supply closer to the camera.
B. For 12V DC cameras only ever use regulated power supplies so that you can be sure that the
camera is always receivingthe correct voltage.
Note:- SEE942 & SEE952 models draw more current at night time as the cameras have IRs
built in.
C. Use thicker gauge copper cabling to reduce the voltage drop.
5.2 Poor Quality Images
A. Check the fly-lead is set to the correct output – see 4-In-1 Technology
B. Ifset to CVBS, thenthis is a low quality video output for legacy systems (Analogue), when
using a 2 MegaPixelDVR or above thenuse another video format, like HD-TVI.
C. Reset the camera menu via Zip Coaxitron– see above for Reset.
D. Check if your DVR supports 2 MegaPixelcameras.
5.3 Image is Black & White
A. Check the video format your DVR supports, then set the camera to the relevant video format
– see the 4-In-1 Technology
B. Reset the camera menu via Zip Coaxitron OSD Menu
C. Check if your DVR supports 2 MegaPixelcameras.
5.4 NCD / No Image Displayed on Recorder
A. Test that the camera has the correct voltage supplying it, you must do this with the camera
connected so that there is load on the PSU. A 12V DC camera should have at least 10.5V DC
connected to it.
B. The camera can not function without the correct power supply. For 12V DC cameras only
ever use regulated power supplies so that you canbe sure that the camera is always receiving the
correct voltage.
C. Ensure that the BNC – BNC lead that you connect between the camera and DVR has no
shorts or open circuits. Ifyou are making your own lead, don’t forget the lead must have two
wires connected to complete the circuit, Video and Ground.

6 General Maintenance
· Ensure that nothing is obscuringthe field ofview, position the camera to ensure the Lens can
see clearly.
· Routinelyclean the camera to prevent dust build up as this can effect the performance ofthe
camera. We recommend a damp non-abrasive microfibre cloth.
· Check that the cameras are firmly attached.
· Check playback in the recorder to ensure the camera is recording properly.
