Precautions for Installation
This camera is designed to be used 
indoors.
This camera is not operable outdoors.
Do not expose this camera 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 this camera away from water and 
moisture. 
Installation place
Contact your dealer for assistance if you are 
unsure of an appropriate place in your particu-
lar environment.
  • Make sure that the installation area is 
strong enough to hold this product, such 
as a concrete ceiling.
  •  Install the camera in the foundation area of 
the architecture or where sufficient strength 
is assured. 
  •  If a ceiling board such as plaster board is 
too weak to support the total weight, the 
area shall be sufficiently reinforced.
Do not place the unit in the following places:
  •  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 moisture or oil smoke 
such as a kitchen
  •  Locations that have a specific environment 
that is subject to an inflammable atmo-
sphere or solvents
  • 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 dam-
aged by briny air such as seashores  • Locations where the temperature is not 
within the specified range (page  32).
  •  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.
Shielded (STP) LAN cables must be used 
with this unit to ensure compliance with 
EMC standards. *
* For Europe
Before installation 
  • When this camera and camera mount 
bracket are mounted on a ceiling or a wall, 
use the screws described on page 23. 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 this 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. 
About the network connection
When connecting to a network using the net-
work cable of this product, observe the follow-
ing.
  • When wiring for the network, design and 
engineer not to be affected by thunder.  Panasonic assumes no responsibility for injuries or property damage resulting from fail-
ures arising out of improper installation or operation inconsistent with this documenta-
tion. 
						

							15
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. Remove the slack of the safety wire 
adjusting the length of the wire and the position 
where to connect.
Angle adjustment
Be sure to loosen the screw of this product 
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 camera, and 
accordingly they may be damaged. Be sure to 
tighten the screw 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).

 Product name  Model number
  ALC lens for 1/3 type CCD cameras  WV-LZA62/2
  2x varifocal  (High resolution)
  *  If a lens for 1/3 type video camera other than the above is mounted and the camera is used at 
resolution of 1280 x 720 or higher, the camera cannot achieve full performance of high resolu-
tion. It is recommended to use a dedicated high-resolution lens especially when the illuminance 
level of the photographic subject is low and the camera is used with the lens iris open.

Note:
  •  The most common use of a varifocal lens and a zoom lens
    Note that the adjustment method is different depending on the type. For further information, 
    refer to the operating instructions for the lens to be used.
    When using 8x or 10x lens, adjust the back focus after positioning the zoom ring at the W 
end and positioning the focus ring at a step short of the F end.
    When using 2x or 3x lens, adjust the back focus after positioning the zoom ring at the T end 
and positioning the focus ring at a step short of the F end.
  •  Depending on the lens to be used, if the zoom ring is fully rotated in the W direction, the 
periphery may become dark. In such a case, rotate the zoom ring in the T direction for read-
justment.
  •  When images in the near-infrared light area change from the color mode to the black & white 
mode, out-of-focus may be occurred according to the nature of optical property. In this case, 
the focus can be corrected by selecting Auto or Preset for Adjusting method on the setup 
menu (The focus will not automatically be adjusted according to the illumination level change 
once the focus is corrected.) Refer to the Operating Instructions (included in the CD-ROM) for 
how to configure the Adjusting method setting on the setup menu.
  •  When shooting the following subjects, it may have difficulty adjusting the back focus position 
automatically.
    In this case, adjust the back focus position manually from the setup menu.
    Refer to the Operating Instructions (included in the CD-ROM) for how to perform the auto back 
focus function from the setup menu.
