Connections & Dipswitches
The camera has a 2.1mmsocket which requires 12V DC, use a regulated power supply rated
above the current draw of the camera.
The camera is polarity sensitive so connections must be correctly made.
The camera has a standard BNC connector for the 4-in-1 video output, the output can be
changed to AHD, CVI or CVBS ifrequired.
Dipswitch 4-In-1 Technology
Selectable HD-TVI, HD-CVI, AHD and CVBS (Analogue) Output. As default the camera is
set to HD-TVI, however the output canbe changed to AHD, CVI or CVBS ifrequired.
This output can be changed withthe dip switches on the fly-lead ofthe camera. Please note the
“Output Mode”in the menu of the DVR won’t change the format, as the dip switchoverrides the
output.
The dip switch configuration can be found below:-

7.2 Key Menu Settings
Exposure Mode - AUTO / GLOBE / GLOBAL sets the required shutter speed for the current
light level. The shutter speed willautomatically detect the required length of time to keep the
digitalsensor exposed to light. FLK option sets the shutter speed to stop synchronisationwith
lighting so that pulsing effect is minimised.
White Balance - Colour adjustment ofthe camera to be set up so objects appear a natural
colour. ATW / PRO (Automatic tracking white balance) continually tracks and adjusts the white
balance, making it suitable for use in cameras in which the image content and lighting are subject
to changes.
Day & Night - The camera canbe set to colour or B&W mode or have it automatically switch
Externalis set as default, the switch betweencolour and black & white is controlled by an
externaltrigger In this a light dependent resistor.
DNR (Noice Reduction) - Noise Reduction is the process ofremoving noise fromthe video
signalby applying a digitalfilter. 2D noise reduction reduces noise in the foreground of the 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 optimumlevels in both
the dark and bright areas ofanimage.
NOTE - Some models may not have D-WDR function.
Reset - Defaults the camera to factory settings. This setting helps when fault finding issues with

Troubleshooting
8.1 Camera Rebooting / Turning Off
A. Check the voltage to the camera (under load) using a digitalmulti-meter, ifbelow 10.8V then
move the power supply closer to the camera.
B. For 12V DC cameras, only use regulated power supply rated above the current consumption,
so that the camera is always receiving the correct supply which is rated above the current
consumption.
C. Use thicker gauge copper cabling to reduce the voltage drop to the camera, using thicker
cable willreduce the resistance between the camera and the power supply and therefore reduce
the voltage dropped alongthe cable.
8.2 Poor Quality Images
A. Check the video format the DVR (digitalvideo recorder), thenset the camera to the relevant
video format – see the 4-In-1 Technology
B. Ifset to CVBS, thenthis is a low qualityvideo output for legacy systems (analogue - CVBS),
when usinga 2 MegaPixelDVR or above then use another video format, like HD-TVI.
C. Reset the camera menuvia Zip Coaxitron– OSD Menu
D. Check if the DVR (digitalvideo recorder) supports the resolution ofthe camera.
8.3 Image is Black & White
A. Check the video format your DVR supports, thenset the camera to the relevant video format
– see the 4-In-1 Technology
B. Reset the camera menuvia Zip CoaxitronOSD Menu
D. Check if the DVR (digitalvideo recorder) supports the resolution ofthe camera.
8.4 NCD / No Image Displayed on Recorder
A. Check the voltage to the camera (under load) using a digitalmulti-meter, ifbelow 10.8V then
move the power supply closer to the camera.
B. For 12V DC cameras, only use regulated power supply rated above the current consumption,
so that the camera is always receiving the correct supply which is rated above the current
consumption.

C. Use thicker gauge copper cabling to reduce the voltage drop to the camera, using thicker
cable willreduce the resistance between the camera and the power supply and therefore reduce
the voltage dropped alongthe cable.
D. Ensure that the BNC – BNC lead that is connected between the camera and DVR has no
shorts between the ground and the centre core (positive) or open circuits along the centre core
(positive) or open circuits along the ground.
General Maintenance
Routinely cleanthe camera to prevent dust build up as this can effect the performance ofthe
camera. It is recommended to use a damp non-abrasive microfibre cloth.
Routinely check the connections for power and data to ensure no water ingress and corrosion.
Check that the cameras are firmly attached to the wallor mounting bracket.
Check playback in the recorder to ensure the camera is recording and triggeringproperly.
