Flickering
Due  to  the  influence  of  lighting,  flickering  may 
sometimes happen. In this case, select "Indoor 
scene" for "Light control mode". Select "Indoor 
scene(50Hz)" or "Indoor scene(60Hz)" in accor -
dance with the power supply frequency in your 
locality.  Refer  to  the  Operating  Instructions 
(PDF) for further information about the setting. 
Under  extremely  strong  lighting,  flickering  may 
happen  even  when  "Indoor  scene"  is  selected 
for "Light control mode". 
When  the  brightness  (illuminance)  level  on  the 
screen  is  set  to  a  relatively  low  level  with  the 
[Brightness]  buttons,  flickering  may  frequently 
happen.  In  such  cases,  either  of  the  following 
can reduce flickering. 
	 •	 Moderate	 the	illumination	 intensities	of	
objects by changing the camera direction. 
	 •	 Set	 the	brightness	 (illuminance)	 level	on	the	
screen  to  a  brighter  level  with  the 
[Brightness] buttons. 
White-out on images caused by the effect 
of light control mode
When "Indoor scene" is selected for "Light con-
trol mode", the tone of the brighter parts on the 
screen  may  be  deteriorated  than  the  case 
when "ELC" is selected. 
Color blurring on detailed drawing pat-
terns
When  there  are  detailed  drawing  patterns  on 
images,  color  blurring  may  happen  over  these 
parts. 
White dot noise
When  the  brightness  levels  of  objects  are  too 
low, white dot noise may appear on the screen.

Precautions for Installation
No responsibility will be taken by our com-
pany with respect to consequeces result-
ing from the use, damage or both of the 
camera.
This product is designed to be used 
indoors.
The product is not operable outdoors.
Do not expose the product to direct sunlight for 
hours  and  do  not  install  the  product  near  a 
heater  or  an  air  conditioner.  Otherwise,  it  may 
cause  deformation,  discoloration  and  malfunc-
tion.  Keep  the  product  away  from  water  and 
moisture.
Installation place
Do not place this product in the following plac-
es:
	 •	 Locations	where	it	may	 get	wet	 from	 rain	
or water splash
	 •	 Locations	 where	a	chemical	 agent	is	used	
such as a swimming pool
	 •	 Locations	 subject	to	humidity,	 dust,	steam	
and oil smoke
	 •	 Locations	 in	a	specific	 environment	 where	
a  solvent  or  a  flammable  atmosphere 
exists
	 •	 Locations	 where	a	radiation,	 an	X-ray,	 a	
strong  radio  wave  or  a  strong  magnetic 
field is generated
	 •	 Locations	 where	corrosive	 gas	is	pro-
duced, locations where it may be damaged 
by briny air such as seashores
	 •	 Locations	 where	the	temperature	 is	not	
within 0 °C to +40 °C {32 °F to 104 °F}.
	 •	 Locations	 subject	to	vibrations	 (This	prod-
uct is not designed for on-vehicle use.)
	 •	 Locations	 subject	to	condensation	 as	the	
result of severe changes in temperature
     Be sure to remove this product if it is not 
in use.
Before installation
	 •	 The	
locally	procured	 camera	mount	brack-
et shall be used to mount this product.
	 •	 When	 the	product	 and	camera	 mount	
bracket are mounted on a ceiling or a wall, 
use the screws described on page 17. The 
screws  to  be  used  are  not  provided. 
Prepare the screws according to the mate-
rial, structure, strength and other factors of 
the  mounting  area  and  the  total  weight  of 
objects to be mounted.
	 •	 Ensure	 that	the	mounting	 surface,	anchor	
and screws are sufficiently strong.
	 •	 Do	 not	mount	 the	product	 on	a	plaster	
board  or  a  wooden  section  because  they 
are too weak. If this product is unavoidably 
mounted  on  such  a  section,  the  section 
shall be sufficiently reinforced.
Screw tightening
	 •	 The	 screws	and	bolts	 must	 be	tightened	
with  an  appropriate  tightening  torque 
according  to  the  material  and  strength  of 
the installation area.
	 •	 Do	 not	use	 an	impact	 driver.	Use	of	an	
impact  driver  may  damage  the  screws  or 
cause tightening excessively.
	 •	 When	 a	screw	 is	tightened,	 make	the	
screw  at  a  right  angle  to  the  surface.  After 
tightening  the  screws  or  bolts,  perform 
visual check to ensure tightening is enough 
and there is no backlash.
Fall prevention measures
When  the  external  safety  wire  is  connected, 
select a connection point resulting in that noth-
ing  will  hit  people  after  the  mount  bracket  is 
damaged.  The  wire  length  shall  be  adjusted  to 
remove slack.

Angle adjustment
Be  sure  to  loosen  the  screw  of  the  camera 
mount  bracket  when  the  camera  angle  is 
adjusted. If the camera angle is changed when 
the  screw  is  tight,  excessive  force  is  applied  to 
the  camera  mount  bracket  and  this  product, 
and  accordingly  they  may  be  damaged.  Be 
sure  to  tighten  the  fixing  piece  securely  after 
camera angle adjustment.
Radio disturbance
When this product is used near TV/radio anten-
na, strong electric field or magnetic field (near a 
motor,  a  transformer  or  a  power  line),  images 
may be distorted and noise sound may be pro-
duced.
PoE (Power over Ethernet)
Use  a  PoE  hub/device  that  is  compliant  with 
IEEE802.3af standard.
Router
When  connecting  this  product  to  the  Internet, 
use  a  broadband  router  with  the  port  forward-
ing function (NAT, IP masquerade).
Refer  to  the  Operating  Instructions  (PDF)  for 
further  information  about  the  port  forwarding 
function.
Time & date setting
It  is  necessary  to  set  the  time  &  date  before 
putting this product into operation. Refer to the 
Operating  Instructions  (PDF)  on  the  provided 
CD-ROM  for  descriptions  of  how  to  perform

Installation
Connect the safety wire
If  an  installation  area  has  sufficient  strength  (☞  page  17),  secure  the  provided  safety  wire  to  the 
installation area.
If not, procure another wire that can substitute for the safety wire (accessory).
The following is an example of safety wire connection.
Important:
	 •	 Be	sure	to	install	the	safety	wire.	Ask	your	dealer	for	installation.
	 •	 Take	 care	so	that	 the	camera	 does	not	roll	over.	 Do	not	 remove	 the	camera	 cover	film	until	 the	
installation is completed.
	 •	 When	 the	rear	 sheet*	 comes	 off,	fit	the	 sheet	 into	the	rear	 panel	 of	the	 camera.	 (The	rear	sheet	
is not stuck to the camera.)

If  the  screw  of  camera  mount  bracket  is  too  long,  adjust  the  screw  length  using  a  spacer  so  as  to 
meet the dimensions and conditions described in the illustration.Important:
	 •	 When	 the	camera	 mount	bracket	 (locally	pro-
cured)  is  mounted  on  a  wall,  be  sure  to 
observe  the  mounting  height  described  on 
the illustration.
 
    
Camera mounting
The camera will be mounted on the camera mount bracket (locally procured). After the angular field 
of view is determined, the safety wire will be secured. 
Important:
	 •	 The	 installation	 area	shall	 be	strong	 enough	 to	hold	 the	camera	 and	camera	 mount	bracket	
(locally procured).
	 •	 The	 camera	mount	bracket	 (locally	procured)	 shall	be	mounted	 on	the	 foundation	 part	of	the	
construction or a part with adequate strength.
	 •	 To	 prevent	 the	mounting	 strength	from	becoming	 lower,	do	not	 use	 wooden	 screws	to	secure	
the camera mount bracket (locally procured).
	 •	 The	camera	cannot	be	mounted	on	a	camera	housing	or	a	pan/tilt	head.
 
z  Secure  the  camera  mount  bracket  (locally  procured)  to  an  installation  position,  and  mount  the 
camera  on  the  camera  mount  bracket.  Prepare  mounting  screws  according  to  the  material  of 
the  area  where  the  camera  mount  bracket  (locally  procured)  is  to  be  installed.  The  installation 
method  may  be  different  depending  on  the  material  of  the  area  where  the  bracket  is  to  be 
installed.
When installing on steel:  Fix with bolts and nuts (M6 or M8).
When installing on concrete:  Fix with anchor bolts (M6 or M8)

Attach the angle adjustment cover to the camera
Important:
	 •	 Angle	 adjustment	 cover	(accessory)	 is	intended	 for	the	 tentative	 adjustment	 of	angular	 field	of	
view. Perform the final adjustment while viewing the images actually on a mo\
nitor.
	 •	 The	angle	adjustment	cover	is	dedicated	to	this	product.
