SEE http://www.mpegla.com. 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 
(included in the CD-ROM) for further informa-
tion 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.
Operating temperature
This product can be used in low temperature 
outdoor environments that get as cold as  
–30 °C {-22 °F}. However, when this product is 
installed and operated in temperatures below 
–20 °C {-4 °F}, normal images may not be 
obtained immediately after startup. In such a 
case, connect the power and wait approx.  
2 hours, and then connect the power again.

area shall be sufficiently reinforced.
Do not place this product in the following 
places:
  •  Locations  where  a  chemical  agent  is  used  such as a swimming pool
  •  Locations  subject  to  humidity,  dust,  steam  and oil smoke 
  •  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 38). 
  • 
Locations subject to vibrations that exceed 
the railway specifications (EN50155)

When installing the camera on a ceiling or a wall, there are three methods as specified below.
  •  Directly mounting to a ceiling or a wall
  •  Use the supplied mount bracket
  •  Use the one-gang junction boxImportant:
  •  Procure 3 screws (M4) to secure the camera or the mount bracket (accessory) to a ceiling or a  wall according to the material of the installation area. Do not use wood screws and nails.
   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})
  •  Mount the mount bracket in consideration of the camera angle in accordance with the instruc-
tions (
☞ pages 19 and 20). 
  •  Required pull-out capacity of a single screw/bolt is 196 N {44.06 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.
The mounting conditions of the camera are described as follows:

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). (

Using the mount bracket (accessory)
Note:
  •  When the camera is mounted on the ceiling or wall with a hole for cable running and the cables  are passed through a conduit, the mount bracket is used.
  •  The female thread for conduit is compliant with ANSI NPSM (parallel pipe threads) 3/4"  or G3/4 
of ISO 228-1. 
  •  Ceiling installation:
   The mount bracket shall be mounted with aligning the front side (the lens side) of the camera 
with the position of the arrow in "h".
   •  Wall installation:
   The mount bracket shall be mounted with "h" facing upward.
Important: 
  •  Installation  work  shall  be  such  that  there  is  no  intrusion  of  water  into  the  architecture  through  the joined conduits, or through the hole opened for the ceiling or wall.
