Note:
  • Disconnect the 12 V power source and PoE  power source to prevent power from being sup-
plied during mounting work. 
  r  Accommodate the connected cables inside the 
cable guide of the camera mount bracket.

 t Attach the base cover that was removed 
according the steps in page 21.
  y  Use the bit for tamperproof screw (accessory) 
to tighten the fixing screws provided on both 
sides of the base cover. (Recommended tight-
ening torque: 0.78 N·m {0.58 lbf·ft})
x  Detach the enclosure and inner dome from the 
main body by loosening the three fixing screws. 
    Loosen the three fixing screws by using the bit  for tamperproof screw (accessory). 
   Detach the inner dome while pushing toward  the directions as indicated by the arrows in the 
illustration. 
Important: 
  •  Do not hold the inner dome when carrying the  camera. Otherwise, the camera part may fall 
and it may damage the camera. 
  •  Remove the cover film from the transparent part  of the dome cover after the installation is com-
plete. Do not touch the dome cover by hand 
directly after removing the cover film.

c  Secure the camera to the mount bracket with 
the camera fixing screw (red, 1 position).
   The illustration is an example of using the  mount bracket (accessory). 
Important: 
  • Be sure to tighten the camera fixing screw.  Failure to observe this may cause camera trou-
ble due to water leakage or camera falling.

z  Adjust the camera angle.
When determining the camera angle, repeat fine adjustments by gradually moving the panning 
table, tilting table, and azimuth adjustment ring. 
Horizontal position (Panning)
Loosen the panning lock screw, rotate the panning table to adjust the pan direction. (Adjustable 
range: 340 °)
Panning is possible within the range of 180 ° (when panning clockwis\
e) and 160 ° (when panning 
counterclockwise). 
After adjustment, tighten the panning lock screw to fix the panning table. 
(Recommended tightening torque: 0.59 N·m {0.44 lbf·ft})
Vertical position (Tilting)
Loosen the tilting lock screws (x2), and rotate the 
tilting table to adjust the tilting direction. (Adjustable 
range: ±75 °) Since a variable focal lens is used, it is 
possible to change the angular field of view. This 
lens can also be rotated in the reverse direction, but 
the image azimuth is reversed. In this case, the 
image azimuth can be modified when the panning 
table is rotated to the direction of clockwise panning 
(180 °).

    After adjustment, tighten the tilting lock screws (x2) to fix the tilting table. 
    (Recommended tightening torque: 0.59 N·m {0.44 lbf·ft})
Note:
  •  When the tilting table is turned to the edge of the adjustable range (±75°), it must be noted\
 that  the shadow of the enclosure may be projected.

x  Adjust the angular field of view and the focus. 
    Adjust the angular field of view in accordance with the distance between the camera lens and a  photographic subject. These adjustments shall be performed together with\
 the camera angle 
adjustment.
  q  Loosen the zoom lock knob and move the knob between TELE and WIDE to obt\
ain the appro-
priate angle of view. 
Note:
  •  The focus may not be adjusted appropriately when the zoom ring is positioned at the "W" (or  "T") end. In this case, adjust the focus again by slightly moving the z\
oom ring to the direction of 
"T" (or "W").
  w  To adjust the angular field of view with a higher zooming effect even after rotating the zoom ring 
almost fully in the "T" direction, hold down the auto focus (AF) button/extra optical zoom button\
 
for 5 seconds or more. 2x extra optical zoom will be applied. When the image capture size 
under "VGA" is applied, the zoom factor can be adjusted up to 2x without\
 deterioration of 
image quality. When holding down the auto focus (AF) button/extra optical zoom butt\
on again 
for 5 seconds or more, 1x extra optical zoom will be applied. 
  e  Tighten the zoom lock knob. 
  r  When the auto focus (AF) button is pressed, the auto focus (AF) indicator will light for around 
10 seconds, and the focus is automatically adjusted.

Important: 
  •  Do not move the focus ring.
  •  Defocus may be caused by the reinstalled enclosure. In this case, perform the auto focus func- tion from the setup menu. 
Note:
  •  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 readjustment. 
  •  If the zoom lock knob is slightly tightened before the zoom ring is moved, the ring will become  stable to ease the fine adjustment. 
  • When shooting in the following place or the following subjects, focus ma\
y not be adjusted  automatically. In this case, adjust the focus manually from the setup menu. Refer to the 
Operating Instructions (PDF) for how to perform the manual focus adjus\
tment from the setup 
menu.

  •  Subj. with less contrast such as white wall
  •  Subj. with heavy flicker
  •  If the 2x extra optical zoom is applied when "1280x960", "1280x720" (SW\
355) or "800x600"  (SW352) is selected for the image capture size, the image quality will be deteriorated because 
the effect of Extra Optical Zoom is not provided. 
  •  When images in the near-infrared light area change from color to black & white, out-of-focus  may be occurred according to the nature of optical property. In this case, the focus can auto-
matically 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 (PDF) for how to set "Adj\
usting 
method" on the setup menu.

c  Mount the inner dome that was removed according the steps in page 34 in the reverse proce-dure. Check to see that the tilting lock screws of the camera are properly engaged in the holes 
of the inner dome.
    Tighten the screws that have been loosened in step  x on page 34 using the bit for tamper-
proof screw (accessory). 
Important: 
  •  Securely tighten all the fixing screws (x3) of enclosure. Otherwise, water exposure may cause  damage or malfunction of camera, or camera dropping may result in injury. (Recommended 
tightening torque: 0.78 N·m {0.58 lbf·ft})
  •  Attach the inner dome in accordance with the direction of the lens opening not to change the  lens direction.
  •  Check if the inner dome and tilting lock screws are firmly fit.
  •  Remove the protection sheet from the outside of the dome.
