get inside the camera. This could cause fire, short-circuits or damages.
■Be careful when handling the unit
To prevent damage, do not drop the camera or subject it to strong shock or
vibration.
■Install away from electric or magnetic fields
■Protect from humidity and dust
■Protect from high temperature
Be careful when installing close to the ceiling , in a kitchen or boiler room,
as the temperature may rise to high levels.
■Cleaning
Dirt can be removed from the case only by wiping it with a soft cloth moistened
with a soft detergent solution.
■Mounting Surface
The mounting surface material must be strong enough to support the camera.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Before sending the camera out for repair, check the items below.
If the problem persists after checking these items, contact your service center.
■If no image appears
▪Is the coaxial cable attached securely?
▪Are the power and voltage normal?
▪Has the iris of the lens inside the camera been adjusted correctly
(with the level volume) ?
▪Is there adequate illumination?
■If the image is unclear
▪Is the lens in focus?
▪Is the lens dirty?
▪Dirt or fingerprints on the lens can adversely affect the images.
Gently wipe any dirt or fingerprints off the lens with a soft cloth or lens
cleaning paper and cleaning fluid (commercially available).
▪Is the monitor adjusted correctly?

LENS ADJUSTMENT
1. Adjust the panning (360˚) and tilt (90˚) position.

CAMERA SETTINGS
(1) BLC
(2) ME/AE
(3) AWB
(4) AGC
(5) DC Iris volume
(6) 2nd Video out
(7) Line Lock

(1) Compensating for backlight
ON When back light is too bright
OFF Normal setting
CAUTION : This can also be set correctly by adjusting DC Lens control (5).
(2) Confirming the iris setting
ME The default setting when DC autoiris lens is installed
AE The default setting when fixed iris lens is installed
CAUTION : The iris setting is preadjusted to the best condition for
use at time of factory shipment; it shouldn't be necessary to change settings.
(3) Confirming the White Balance
(4) Setting gain control (AGC)
For adjusting the sensitivity of the camera. Use this setting in dark environments.
ON Normal setting
OFF Set this when there is excessive video noise
AWC Use this under light source below 2500K and over 9500K of Natrium
(Sodium) low color temperature light.
ATW Use this under light source between 2500K and 9500K
of fluorescent lamp or incandescent light

(5) Adjusting level control
If the entire image is too dark or bright, or the backlight
compensation is not correct even after (1) is set to "ON,"
adjust the iris level.
CCW (Low) Closes the lens iris, making the entire image darker
CW(High) Opens the lens iris, making the entire image brighter
(6) Second VIDEO OUT connector
If installer is setting with portable monitor, use this connector.
(7) Setting monitor synchronization
(24 VAC adaptor users)
The camera offers V-phase adjustment over 360°. Vertical sync disturbance may occur
when a switcher is used to switch between multiple cameras connected to one monitor.
To prevent vertical sync disturbance, adjust (7) by pushing the button. Before making any
adjustment, confirm that the cameras are connected to the power supply with the same
polarity. To make an adjustment:
While observing the video outputs from the cameras on an oscilloscope, press
the the first camera's V-phase pushbutton. Until vertical sync from all cameras are
in phase. If the first camera's adjustment phase is insufficient, adjust the second
camera's V-phase contol in the oppposite direction until they are in phase.
CAUTION
When using the 12 VDC adaptor, sync setting is set to internal sync.
NOTE: Sync is selected by a switch on the camera board, Int or L/L (Line Lock).

The VC-700W can be either mounted to a surface (like a ceiling or
wall) or installed into the ceiling, with or without an electrical box.
1 Use the large (Torx T20) L-Wrench to loosen the 4 screws (B) securing
the dome assembly.
2 For surface-mount installations, align the mounting base (D) with the
mounting surface; mark the mounting screw holes and then drill the four
holes. For in-ceiling installations not mounting to a 4x4 electrical box,
mark the holes in the camera assembly (C) and then drill the holes. For
in-ceiling installations, (D) is not used.
3 For in-ceiling installations, cut a hole (diameter: 2.9 in./73 mm) in the
ceiling for routing the cables.
4 Route the power cable(s) and video cable(s) to the installation location.
5 Align the four mounting holes in (D) with the holes in the ceiling.
Using the four screws and anchors provided (G), if appropriate for
mounting surface, fasten the mounting base to the wall/ceiling. Using the
other four screws provided, secure the camera assembly (C) to the
mounting base. For in-ceiling installations, align the holes in (C) with
the holes drilled in the ceiling and secure the camera assembly with the
hardware provided, if appropriate. If installing to an electrical box, secure
(C) with the screws provided.
6 Pass the power cable (E) and video cable (F) from the camera unit
through the cable hole in the ceiling. For surface-mounted units, cabling
is routed through the knockout hole in the side of the unit.
7 Carry out the settings and adjustments for the camera previously
described.
8 Secure the dome assembly (A) by tightening the screws (B).
