1 Introduction
1.1 SEE818
A Midisized HD camera witha powerfulIR arrayinstead ofmultiple IRs to help minimise
reflection frominsects or spider’s webs. Perfect for capturing top quality, true dayto night
images.
Featuring 4-in-1 video technology so it is compatible with most CCTV equipment new or old.
Set as HD-TVI as the popular default technology, it can also be switched to AHD or the less
popular CVI. Handy for upgrades too, it even has an analogue output that could be used on old
recorders that stillneed anupgrade to HD.
The SEE815 is a great mididesign idealwhen you’re looking for your CCTV systemto be more
low key.
IPP66 and available in black or white with no contrasting lens rim it can seamlessly blend into
interior or exterior installs, with a choice ofsleek and classic black (great for public spaces as it
won't stand out) or contemporarywhite to blend perfectly into anindoor space.

It is recommended to use a power supply that is rated higher than the current consumption of the
camera
The camera is polarity sensitive so connections must be made correctly

6.2 Key Menu Settings
Exposure Mode - AUTO sets the required shutter speed for the current light level. The shutter
speed willautomatically detect the required lengthof time to keep the digitalsensor exposed to
light. FLK option sets the shutter speed to stop synchronisation with lighting so that pulsing effect
is minimised.
White Balance - Colour adjustment ofthe camera to be set up so objects appear a natural
colour. ATW (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 switchbetweencolour and black & white is controlled by an
external trigger In this a light dependent resistor. Delay can be set which will instruct the camera
to wait for a set length oftime before switching. This accommodates for any temporary drops in
light
DNR (Noice Reduction) - Noise Reduction is 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 of the
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.

7 Troubleshooting
7.1 Camera Rebooting / Turning Off
A. Check the voltage ofthe camera (under load) ifbelow 10.8V then move the power supply
closer to the camera.
B. For 12V DC cameras only ever use regulated power supply rated at above 750mA, 1A
would be recommended. So that the camera is always receiving the correct supply.
C. Use thicker gauge copper cabling to reduce the voltage drop.
7.2 Poor Quality Images
A. Check the fly-lead is set to the correct output – see 4-In-1 Technology
B. Ifset to CVBS, then this is a low qualityvideo output for legacy systems (Analogue), when
using a 2 MegaPixelDVR or above then use another video format, like HD-TVI.
C. Reset the camera menu via Zip Coaxitron– OSD Menu
D. Check ifyour recorder supports the resolution ofthe camera.
7.3 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 CoaxitronOSD Menu
C. Check the recorder supports the resolution ofthe camera.
7.4 NCD / No Image Displayed on Recorder
A. Test that the camera has the correct voltage supplying it, this must be done withthe 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 cannot function without the correct power supply. For 12V DC cameras only
ever use regulated power supplies to ensure that the camera is always receiving the correct
voltage.
C. Ensure that the BNC – BNC lead that is connected between the camera and DVR has no
shorts or open circuits.
