and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to
cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his
own expense.
Caution -- Any changes or modifications in construction of this device that are not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance,could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.

1. Safety Instructions and Notes
•Read instructions carefully before putting the camera into operation.
•Keep the operating instructions in a safe place for later use.
•The Standard Box Camera is designed for indoor use only and it must not be installed where
exposed to rain and moisture.
•Do not operate the cameras beyond their specified temperature, humidity or power ratings.
•Never open the case of the camera because there are precision parts inside. An accident
may result
•Do not put anything metallic or foreign through the vent. A fire or electric shock may result.
•Be sure to turn off the power before installing or making connection.
•Pay attention when laying the connection cable and observe that the cable is not subject to
heavy loads, kinks or damage and that no moisture can get in.
•Do not install the camera in places exposed to vibrations and shocks.
•Be very careful not to drop or shock the camera while carrying it.
•Do not angle the camera to the sun.
•Do not make any modification to the unit (neither to the software nor the hardware). Improper
modification voids the warranty and can cause malfunctions or damages.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damages resulting from unauthorized or improper
modifications to the unit
•Some types of lenses may cause hunting, light amount drop or other problems. In such case,
readjust the lenses.
•Because of the digital image device characteristics, images may look rugged at high
temperatures. This does not mean the camera is malfunctioning.
•The warranty becomes void if repairs are undertaken by unauthorized persons.
•Contact the supplier if any functional problems arise.
Cleaning:
•Do not touch the surface of the imaging device.
•Keep front and rear lens surfaces clean.
Notice -- The images used in this manual are processed to help comprehension and
may differ from actual video of the camera.

2. General Descriptions
The VTC-C770WS camera is a superb ultra dynamic range camera that achieves 120dB max
(102dB typical) of dynamic range of the image by implementing PIXIM's Seawolf digital
imaging system.
Seawolf digital imaging system:
-Delivers high-resolution, crystal clear images that accurately capture every aspect of any
scene
- Offersthe highest resolution of 700TVL (horizontal)
-Ultra-wide dynamic range imaging accurately captures all of the critical details in a scene
including highlights, shadows and everything in between without compromising image
quality or color accuracy
- Enhanced low-light performance makes Seawolf the natural choice for both indoor and
outdoor cameras for all lighting conditions.
ICR mechanism:
-Enhances its sensitivity about 10x at night
-Accepts infrared light
24VAC/12VDC dual power design:
- Offers flexibility of installation
-Ensures reliability
Features:
•1/3" CMY Color DPS SENSOR (Pixim Seawolf D8800C series)
•Resolution of 700 Horizontal TV Lines
•10x sensitivity enhancement by removing the optical filter
•Switches to B/W and able to accept infrared spectrum at night mode
•Enhanced sharpness compensation
•Very low noise and superior picture quality
•0.0008Lux Class sensitivity (0.002Lux@ 2x Sense-up)
•Automatically removable IR Cut Filter
•Automatic White Balance (ATW)

4.3 Power Supply Connections
The VTC-C770WS camera works with 24VAC or 12VDC, dual voltage power. It does NOT
require matching polar connection for 12VDC supply. Primary and secondary grounds are
completely isolated to avoid possible ground-loop problems. Its wide operating voltage range
of 10.5V-30V for DC and 12-28.8V for AC gives extra flexibility during installation.
5. Start up
When the camera is powered properly, it initializes the internal parameters and the filter
switch mechanism. The filter switch unit repeats IN and OUT at each power up and just
after RESTORE FACTORY SETTINGS.

SENSE-UP SETUP.
Thetion frames vary automatically within the max. rate according to
the light level when light becomes low and DSS is operating. The
higher sense-up rate, the higher sensitivity but the slower refresh rate.
Some white dots may appear by sense-u due to the image sensor’s long
accumulation by a long shutter period.
IMPORTANT!!!

11
IMPORTANT!!!
DAY->NIGHT and NIGHT->DAY operations must be examined and verified at the
final step of installation. Factory Settings have DAY/NIGHT set to OFF.
Block the lens for a few seconds for NIGHT mode, then release and let it return to DAY mode.
If the camera stays at NIGHT mode more than 10 seconds, increase N-->D THRES and repeat
the fore-mentioned steps.
If the scene is too dim or the lens iris was adjusted too low (near close), it may not return to
DAY.
DAY/NIGHT
Default
Descriptions
N-->D
THRES.
3
N-->D THRES is a threshold level to switch from NIGHT to DAY.
Due to the nature of WDR,the image level of the scene are controlled
down and the camera would not switch to DAY even though the
ambient is bright enough.
Increase the value if it stays in B/W and is required to switch to DAY.
Too high of a value may make the ICR repeat between NIGHT<-->DAY.
In that case, reduce the value and execute the steps above.
N<-->D
DELAY
3
N<-->D DELAY is the time,in seconds, when the camera maintainsits
status before D<-->N switches.
DELAY can avoid the unwanted/frivolous switching caused by short term
lighting changes, such as the light from a passing car.
BURST
ON
B/W
OFF
BURST ON B/W determines whether a color burst signal keeps output
or
eliminated when camera switches to B/W.
If set to ON, B/W video signal contains color burst signal and is more
compatible with the color equipment but shows the same resolution as
color
video.
If set OFF, the color burst signal is removed from B/W video and
shows better
resolution.
Rarely will acompatibility problem occur with the color equipment.
