This system is designed to be used indoors. This product is not operable outdoors.
This product has no power switch.
When turning off the power, disconnect the power supply from AC adaptor.
To keep on using with stable performance
Do not use this camera in hot and humid conditions for a long time. Failure to observe this causes
component degradation resulting in life shortening of this product.
Do not expose this camera to direct heat sources such as a heater.
Do not touch the lens cover with your bare hands.
A dirty lens cover causes deterioration of picture quality.
Handle this camera with care.
Do not drop this camera, nor apply shock or vibration to this camera. Failure to observe this may
cause trouble.
About the PC monitor
Displaying the same image on a monitor for a long time may damage the monitor. It is recommend-
ed to use a screen-saver.
When an error is detected, this product will restart automatically.
This product will be inoperable for around 2 minutes after the restart just as when the power is
turned on.
Product disposal/transfer
Data saved on this product or a storage device used with this product may lead to personal
information leakage. When it is necessary to dispose or give this product to someone, even when
for repair, make sure that there is no data on this product.
Cleaning this product body
Be sure to turn off the power before cleaning. Failure to observe this may cause injury. Do not use
strong abrasive detergent when cleaning this product. Otherwise, it may cause discoloration. When
using a chemical cloth for cleaning, read the caution provided with the chemical cloth product.
Transmission interval
Image transmission interval may become slow depending on the network environment,
PC performance, shooting subject, access number, etc.
About the CMOS image sensor

When continuously shooting a bright light source such as a spotlight, the color filter of the CMOS

⿟

image sensor may have deteriorated and it may cause discoloration. Even when changing the
fixed shooting direction after continuously shooting a spotlight for a certain period, the discolor-
ation may remain.

When shooting fast-moving subjects or performing panning/tilting operations, objects crossing

⿟

the shooting area may look to be bending askew.

Flickering
Due to the influence of lighting, flickering may sometimes happen. Select “Indoor scene(50 Hz)” or
“Indoor scene(60 Hz)” 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 fol-
lowing 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] but-

⿟

tons.

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 patterns
When there are detailed drawing patterns on images, color blurring may happen over these parts.
Consumable parts
The following are consumables: Replace them in accordance with their lives. Their lives vary
depending on use environment and conditions. Lifetime is just an indication when using the camera
at +20 °C {68 °F}.

Panning motor, tilting motor, flat cable for tilting: Approx. 0.12 million operations.

⿟
Lens and pan/tilt head
If a lens and pan/tilt head are not performed for a long period of time, the grease coating inside
these parts may become sticky. That may obstruct the parts from moving. To prevent this, move
the lens or pan/tilt head periodically.
