• 3 video compression formats (video codecs) available: JPEG, MPEG4 and

H.264

• Single codec mode and dual codec mode switchable
• Up to 20 users can access an image of a camera simultaneously.
• You can monitor a high-quality live image of 30 frames per second maximum

(SNC-DF85N/DF80N) and 25 frames per second maximum (SNC-DF85P/
DF80P).

• Date/time can be superimposed on the image.

Do not shoot an extremely bright object (an illumination, the sun, etc.). Also,
avoid operating or storing the camera in the following locations, as these
can be a cause of a malfunction.
• Extremely hot or cold places (Operating temperature: –10 °C to

+50 °C [14 °F to 122 °F])

• Close to heating equipment (e.g., near heaters)
• Close to sources of strong magnetism
• Close to sources of powerful electromagnetic radiation, such as radios or

TV transmitters

• Locations subject to strong vibration or shock
• Dusty locations
• Locations under the influence of fluorescent light or reflection of a window
• Under an unsteady light (the image will flicker.)

To prevent heat buildup, do not block air circulation around the camera.

When transporting the camera, repack it as originally packed at the factory
or in materials of equal quality.

• Use a blower to remove dust from the lens.
• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the external surfaces of the camera.

Stubborn stains can be removed using a soft cloth dampened with a
small quantity of detergent solution, then wipe dry.

• Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, benzene or thinners as they

may damage the surface finishes.

Attach the dome casing securely to the unit casing.
Make sure you seal the locations listed below with sealant (e.g. silicon
sealant) to prevent moisture from getting inside the casing.
– Camera installation holes (4)
– Conduit holes (side/bottom)

Laser beams may damage a CCD. You are cautioned that the surface of a
CCD should not be exposed to laser beam radiation in an environment where
a laser beam device is used.

The following phenomena that may appear in images are specific to CCD
(Charge Coupled Device) image sensors. They do not indicate
malfunctions.

Although the CCD image sensors are produced with high-precision
technologies, fine white flecks may be generated on the screen in rare
cases, caused by cosmic rays, etc.
This is related to the principle of CCD image sensors and is not a
malfunction.
The white flecks especially tend to be seen in the following cases:
• when operating at a high environmental temperature
• when you have raised the gain (sensitivity)

When an extremely bright object, such as a strong spotlight or flashlight, is
being shot, vertical tails may be produced on the screen, or the image may
be distorted.

When fine patterns, stripes, or lines are shot, they may appear jagged or
flicker.
