    Security Warning window
    To view a video (Motion JPEG) or to use audio feature, ActiveX® Controls must be 
    installed. When trying to display a video for the first time, Security Warning window 
    will be displayed. When using Windows 2000 or Windows XP, log in as an 
    administrator to install it.
    If you cannot install ActiveX Controls or you cannot see the video in the 
    Internet Explorer
     Click [Tools] [Internet Options] [Security] tab and click [Custom level] on 
    the web browser. 
    (1) Check Prompt in Download signed ActiveX Controls.
    (2) Check Enable in Run ActiveX Controls and plug-ins.
     ActiveX Controls can be installed from the file on the Setup CD-ROM.
    (1) Restart the PC. 
    (2) Confirm that Internet Explorer is closed. 
    (3) Double-clickocx\ActiveXInst.exe on the Setup CD-ROM.
    Notes
     Video may not be displayed quickly or audio may not be listened immediately. 
    Wait for a while.
     If you use a proxy server, set the web browser not to access the proxy server 
    (see page 136 of the Operating Instructions on the Setup CD-ROM).
     In some corporate network environments a firewall may be used for security 
    purposes. It is possible that this may prevent motion video from being 
    displayed. In this situation we suggest:
     Contact your network administrator.
     Try using regularly refreshed images.

    1.12 Using the SD Memory Card
    The SD memory card (customer-provided) can store image data and replay them. 
    Follow the instructions below to insert the SD memory card into the camera.
    1.Open the cover on the side of the camera.
    2.Insert the SD memory card, and push with your finger until it clicks. Or push 
    the card lightly to remove.
    Notes
     Ensure that recording has been stopped, before removing the SD memory 
    card. (see page 82 of Operating Instructions on the Setup CD-ROM) If the 
    SD memory card is removed while recording, the image file will most likely 
    become unreadable. In this case, format the SD memory card again. 
    (Files will be deleted.)
     Insert or remove the SD memory card after removing the sunshade.
    3.Replace the cover firmly.
    Note
    Format the SD memory card, before you record the image data. (see page 81 
    of Operating Instructions on the Setup CD-ROM)
    Place the card face 
    to the front.

    1.13 Installing the Camera
    The camera has a splash resistant body. The splash resistant body allows the 
    camera to be used indoors and outdoors. Waterproof cabling is necessary for 
    outdoor mounting. Check the camera operation before installing (cabling and 
    mounting) the camera.
    Notes
     Install the camera under eaves to protect it from direct sunlight. Prolonged 
    exposure to direct sunlight or halogen light may damage the CCD sensor.
     Use the sunshade in any conditions.
     Do not install the camera in the location where sea breezes may hit the 
    unit directly.
     Avoid laying Ethernet cable underground or stringing it in the air. Lightning 
    may cause serious damage to the camera or the connected devices.
     AC adaptor and AC cord are not waterproofed. Put them inside the 
    outdoor power equipment near the camera and protect them from the rain. 
    Ask the authorized electric wiring dealer.
     AC adaptor, AC cord and Ethernet cable should be waterproofed. Do the 
    waterproof electric wiring work.
     Do not expose the AC adaptor to the temperatures below -20 °C (-4 °F) or 
    above +50 °C (122 °F). AC adaptor cannot be operated under these 
    circumstances.

    1.13.1 Wiring the Camera
    Check the location where the camera should be installed. Select the proper cable 
    suited to the camera location. Consult an authorized wiring electrician for cabling.
    The camera can be mounted in the following ways.
    1.Put the cables through the connector cover (1.). Connect the DC plug of the 
    AC adaptor to the DC IN jack (2.) and Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port (3.). 
    Connect the AC plug of the AC cord to the outlet (4.).
     If you use External I/O, external speaker or external microphone, put the 
    cables through the connector cover.
    Notes
     Confirm that the indicator lights green.
     Check the location of the camera, the type and the length of the Ethernet 
    cable (Max. 100 m [330 feet]). Use an Ethernet cable as short as possible 
    for outdoor use. Lightning may cause serious damage to the camera or the 
    connected devices.

    2.Thread the AC adaptor cord through the hook. Put the connector cover by 
    fastening the two screws in numerical order. The remaining screw hole on the 
    connector cover is used for attaching sunshade.
    Note
    When you mount the camera, always hook the AC adaptor cord and audio 
    cables to the hooks.
    3.Attach the sunshade by fastening the two screws.
    Note

    4.Roll up putty around the cables and fit them into the holes to prevent water 
    from getting inside the camera.
    Notes
     Confirm the camera is functioning before puttying the cables. Putties and 
    self bonding tape cannot be used twice.
     Check the length and the type of the Ethernet cable before fixing with 
    putty.
    5.Cover the putty by rolling.
     Self bonding tape is used to fix the cables in a mount. Keep at least 20 cm 
    (about 8 inches) of it for cable fixing.
    6.Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of hub, router and PC.

    Notes
     Do not mount the camera upside down. The image may be displayed 
    upside down.
     When mounting, we suggest using the hardware we provide. Mounting 
    in any other manner may cause the camera to fall, causing personal 
    injury or damage to the camera.
     To reduce the load on the mounting hardware, dress the cables neatly 
    and secure with tape.
