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	
accordance with the power supply frequency in 
your locality. Refer to the Operating Instructions 
(included in the CD-ROM) 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 
control 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.

ures arising out of improper installation or operation inconsistent with this documenta-
tion. 
This camera is designed to be used 
indoors. 
This product is not operable outdoors.

Installing 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

	 •	 Locations	 subject	 to	 condensation	 as	 the	 result of severe changes in temperature
   (In case of installing the camera in such 
locations, the dome may become foggy or 
condensation may be caused on the

     Be sure to remove this product if it is not 
in use. 
Before installation
	 •	 When	 this	 camera	 is	 mounted	 on	 a	 ceiling	
or a wall, use the screws described on 
page 16. The screws to be used are not 
provided. Prepare the screws according to 
the material, 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.
Design and engineer the power supply 
system to turn on/off the power of this 
product. 
The product has no power switch. When 
installing the product, use a PoE hub equipped 
with the ON-OFF switch for servicing.
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 to not to be affected by thunder.

Screw tightening
	 •	
	The
	 screws 	 and 	 bolts 	 must 	 be 	 tightened 	
with an appr

opriate 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
 	
scr
 ew 	
is
 	
tightened,
 	
make
 	
the
 	
scr

ew  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.
Procure fixing screws separately.
The  screws  that  secure  this  product  are  not 
supplied. Prepare them according to the mate-
rial  and  strength  of  the  area  where  the  product 
is to be installed.
Do not remove or loosen the internal cam-
era screws
Do  not  loosen  the  internal  camera  screws. 
Otherwise, the camera may malfunction, or fall, 
resulting in injury.
Radio disturbance
When  this  product  is  used  near  TV/radio 
antenna,  strong  electric  field  or  magnetic  field 
(near  a  motor,  a  transformer  or  a  power  line), 
images may be distorted and noise sound may 
be produced. 
PoE (Power over Ethernet)
Use  a  PoE  hub/device  that  is  compliant  with 
IEEE802.3af standard. 
Router

Preparations
You can install the camera on a ceiling or a wall. (☞ Pages 16 and 17)Important:
	 •	 Procure	3	screws	(M4)	to	secure	the	camera	to	a	ceiling	or	a	wall,	according	to	the	material	of	 the installation area. In this case, wood screws and nails should not be used. For mounting a 
camera on a concrete ceiling, use an anchor bolt (for M4) or an AY plug bolt (M4) for securing. 
(Recommended tightening torque: 1.6 N·m {1.18 lbf·ft})
	 •	 Required	pull-out	capacity	of	a	single	screw/bolt	is	196	N	{44	lbf}	or	more.	
	 •	 If	 a	 ceiling	 board	 such	 as	 plaster	 board	 is	 too	 weak	 to	 support	 the	 total	 weight,	 the	 area	 shall	 be sufficiently reinforced.

Method of camera installation
Installing the camera directly on the ceiling or wall
Note:
	 •	
Use the installation template label (accessory) with the side with the\
 arrow facing you.
	 •	Ceiling installation:
  Place the installation template label so that the "h" is pointing to the front of the camera (the lens side).
	 •	Wall installation:
  Place the installation template label so that the "h" is pointing down.
 

Place the installation template label (accessory) on the ceiling or wa\
ll, mark the hole for the cable to 
be passed through and for the fixing screws (3 places), then open the holes.
Remove the installation template label, and mount the camera with 3 fixi\
ng screws (locally pro-
cured). (☞ Page 20)

Connection
Before starting the connection, turn off the power of the devices to be connected. 
Check and prepare the required devices and cables for connection. Note:
	 •	
Since the connector storage 
section does not have a suffi-
cient space, use a LAN cable 
that	does	not	exceed	the	sizes	
described in the illustrations.
 
z  Connect a LAN cable (category 5 or better, 
straight) between a PoE device (such as a 
hub) and the network connector of the cam-
era.
Important:
	 •	 Use	all	4	pairs	(8	pins)	of	the	LAN	cable.	
	 •	 The	maximum	cable	length	is	100	m	{328	feet}. 
	 •	 Make	sure	that	the	PoE	device	in	use	is	compliant	with	IEEE802.3af	standard.	
	 •	 When	 disconnecting	 the	 LAN	 cable	 once,	 reconnect	 the	 cable	 after	 around	 2	 seconds.	 When	 the cable is quickly connected, the power may not be supplied from the PoE device.
