							-41-
NORMAL:Sets the horizontal resolution to more
than 480 lines.
HIGH:Sets the horizontal resolution to more than
510 lines.
Note:After selecting HIGH, noise may increase
when the SENS UP function is activated under
low illumination.
• Digital Noise Reduction (DNR)
DNR may be used to improve quality under low light
conditions. There are 4 levels of DNR, which may be
selected depending on local site conditions. Factory
default setting: LOW2
You may need to try different settings to find the most
suitable conditions for your application.
Move the cursor to DNR and select LOW1, LOW2,
HIGH1 or HIGH2 with the joystick.
LOW1:DNR level is low. The after-image remains.
LOW2:DNR level is low. The after-image is
reduced.
HIGH1:DNR level is high. The after-image remains.
HIGH2:DNR level is high. The after-image is
reduced.
• Black and White Mode (BW MODE)
Move the cursor to BW MODE and press the CAM
(SET) key. The BW MODE menu appears. You can set
up the BW mode on this menu.
BW Setting
1. Move the cursor to BW and select AUTO, ON or

Note:Selecting the color mode is disabled if
ALARM IN 4 is set to B/W on the special 1 menu.
2. If you have selected AUTO, press the CAM (SET)
key to open the BW AUTO submenu.
3. Select HIGH or LOW for the threshold level at which
the camera automatically switches to BW or color
mode. Default: HIGH
The illuminance shown below is based on the
assumption that the camera is used in an area lit by
halogen lamps, and that AGC on the menu is set to
MID.
HIGH:approximately 6 lx 
LOW:approximately 2.5 lx 
Note:When near-infrared lamps are used, the
image may be displayed out of focus and
mode switching may not perform automatical-
ly.
4. Move the I cursor to set DURATION TIME.
Default: 30 seconds
The camera determines whether to switch the
mode when the time set for holding a picture
motionless on the screen has elapsed.
Available duration times:(L) 10 s ↔30 s ↔
60 s ↔300 s (H)
Note:A pan/tilt, zoom or focus operation will
restart after the holding time.
PIX SENS UP Setting
Move the cursor to PIX SENS UP and move the joy-
stick to select OFF or X2 AUTO.
X2 AUTO: Sensitivity will be automatically doubled
at the maximum in the black and white mode.
OFF:Sensitivity will not be enhanced. 
Notes:
•X2 AUTO is not available when AGC is set to
OFF. X2 AUTO is automatically set to OFF.
•When the picture becomes stable, the luminance
may change for a moment.
BURST (BW) Setting
Move the cursor to BURST (BW) and select ON or
OFF with the joystick. Default: ON.

■RS485 Setup
●Initial Camera Communication
Parameters
In an RS485 chain, the matrix switcher, PC, controllers
and cameras should be set to the same protocol and
parameters for communication. Confirm the system pro-
tocol and parameters prior to setting the communica-
tion parameters for the camera.
The initial communication parameters for WV-CW864A
are shown on the RS485 setup menu below. Other than
the on-screen setup parameters, the 4-bit DIP switch
may be used to select 2-line (half duplex) or 4-line (full
duplex) communication.
●Changing the Camera Communication
Parameters
You can remotely control this camera by using a speci-
fied extension unit such as a computer with a modem.
1. Display SET UP MENU. Move the cursor to RS485
SET UP and press the CAM (SET) key. The RS485
SET UP menu appears on the monitor.
2. Move the cursor to the item and select the parame-
ter with the joystick.
Unit Number (UNIT NUMBER)
Displays the unit number set by the DIP switch. If the
switch is set to 1-96, select a number with the joystick.
In an RS485 chain each unit must have a unique num-
ber.
Factory default setting: 1. See INSTALLATION for DIP
switch setting.
Sub Address (SUB ADDRESS)
Do not set.
Baud Rate (BAUD RATE)
Specifies the transmission speed (2 400, 4 800, 9 600,
19 200 bit per second) for the RS485 communication.
The factory default setting is 19 200.
Data Bit (DATA BIT)
Specifies the number of data bits (7 or 8 bits) for the
RS485 communication. The factory default setting is 8.
Parity Check (PARITY CHECK)
Specifies the parity check mode (NONE, ODD, EVEN).
The factory default setting is NONE.
Stop Bit (STOP BIT)
Specifies the number of stop bits (1 or 2 bits). The fac-
tory default setting is 1.
X ON/X OFF (X ON/X OFF)
Specifies whether to apply flow control or not (USE or
NOT USE). The factory default setting is NOT USE.
Wait Time (WAIT TIME)
Specifies the time to wait until retrying after confirming
that no data is received from the controller.
(OFF: no retry, 100, 200, 400, 1 000 ms).
Alarm Data (ALARM DATA)
Specifies the alarm transmission mode depending on
the protocol selected by the 8-bit DIP switch.

requests from the controller.
AUTO 1:Transmits the alarm data each time an
alarm signal is received by the camera.
AUTO 2 (Default):Transmits alarm data at intervals
of 5 seconds.
Delay Time (DELAY TIME)
Specifies the time to transmit the acknowledge request
when communicating on a 2-line connection.
[----, 100 ms] Factory default setting: ---- (no set).
This menu appears only when a 2-line communication

•Do not install the camera near the air outlet of an air conditioner. 
						

							-46-
1. Preparations
(1) Procure a ceiling mount bracket.
(2) Installation Surface
CAUTION:Consult an expert on the load bear-
ing capacity of the installation surface and
structure. If the surface is not strong enough,
the camera may fall down. Refer to the prod-
uct specifications for weights.
Prepare appropriate hardware (e.g. wall nuts,
anchor bolts, etc.) for fixing on the installation
surface.
2. Disassembling the Camera
(1) Remove the upper base from the camera by
loosening 3 screws. Turn the upper base and
separate it.
(2) Remove the attachment pipe from the upper
base by loosening 4 screws.
3. Mounting the Bracket
(1) Fix the bracket to the installation surface using
appropriate bolts, nuts or the like (not supplied).
(2) Fix the attachment pipe to the bracket.
(3) Thread cables through the bracket. Connect
cables, referring to CONNECTIONS.
(4) Fix the upper base to the attachment pipe using
4 screws, and fill the gap between the bracket
and attachment pipe with waterproof material
such as silicon clay. See instructions of the
bracket for details.

4. Setting the Switches
The 8-bit DIP switch has two functions.  It is used to
restore the factory default settings and to specify the
unit number.  Before setting, peel off the seal cover-
ing the switch holes. After setting the switch, replace
the seal.  The 4-bit DIP switch selects termination
ON/OFF and half/full duplex for RS485 communica-
tion.  The switch settings are read into the camera
when the power is turned on.  After changing the
switch settings, be sure to turn the power off, then
turn it back on again.  Switch positions and func-
tions are shown below.
RS485 Parameter Setup
The selected protocol, communication parameters,
and set unit numbers are read into the camera when
the power is switched on.
(1) Switch off the camera.
(2) Set the switch as shown in the table below.
(3) Set the unit number with the DIP switch (see the
next page).
(4) Switch on the camera to read in the changed
switch settings.
Note:The changed communication parameters
are displayed on the RS485 SETUP menu
after the camera has been switched on.
