Symptom

Causes and Countermeasures

Movement of network image is 
not smooth

If the monitor image output is turned ON, a lower frame rate is set for 
network images.
If you turned the monitor image output to OFF, set the frame rate 
again.(

 “Instructions (Setting)” - “Internet Explorer Setting” - 

“Encoding Page”)

No monitor image is output.

The image output may be turned Off on Internet Explorer.
Check the monitor output setting.

The external mic sound is not heard.

Check the MIC connection.
Is the audio setting turned off? (

 “Instructions (Setting)” - “Audio Page”)


Lens is out of focus

Is the focus adjustment gear engaged? Check the location of the catch. (VN-H137U)
Make sure that the lens is compatible with a CS mount.(VN-H57U/VN-H37U)
After initializing the back focus position(

 “Instructions (Setting)” - “Focus Page”), 

perform focus adjustment again. (VN-H57U)
Rotate the back focusing ring to adjust the focus.(VN-H37U)

Troubleshooting

Audio cable connection

 (VN-H57U)

Alarm I/O cable connection 

(VN-H57U)

Alarm input

Connect an infrared sensor, door sensor, metal 
sensor, a manual switch or other device.

To avoid noise entering the internal circuit, enter the 
non-voltage contact signal in the Alarm IN terminal.
Do not supply voltage.
The alarm can be set to be activated during close 
contact (MAKE) or during open contact (BREAK) 
can be set from the menu.
The alarm signal should last for at least 500 msec. If 
the alarm signal is short, it may not be recognized.

Input conditions

Connect non-voltage a contact or open collector 
output circuit
(For details on how to set polarities, please refer to 
“Instructions (Settings)”.)
Low level terminal current below 1 mA
High level terminal current 3.3 V

Alarm output

Connect an alarm device, indicator, lighting, buzzer or 
other device.

An alarm output signal is an open collector output. 
You can configure the menu to set the alarm to 
sound when contacts short circuit (MAKE) or 
when the contacts are open (BREAK). (Pressure 
resistance lower than 16V, 30 mA)
This terminal has different polarities. The output 
voltage at the positive terminal must always be 
higher than the output voltage at the negative 
terminal. Otherwise, the circuit may be damaged.

Output conditions

Equivalent to NPN open collector output
(For details on how to set the output logic, please 
refer to “Instructions (Settings)”.)
Safe excitation voltage: DC16 V or lower
Allowable surge current: 30 mA
Momentary (100 ms to 5000 ms) output
(For details on how to set the time, please refer to 
“Instructions (Settings)”.)

Note

•  For safety reasons, turn on the power only after 

confirming that all the connections are completed.

•  Be sure to turn off the camera before connecting cables.
•  If you use both the AC 24 V power cable and the PoE-

based LAN cable simultaneously, the camera may fail. 
Always supply power using either method.

LAN cable

When connecting to a switching hub: 
Use a straight cable.
When connecting to a computer: 
Use a crossing cable.
A 100-meter or less length and Category-5 or higher 
grade STP (shielded) cable is recommended.

Note

•  The crossing cable may not be used for some computer 

models. Check the LAN specifications of the computer 
when you directly connect this unit to the computer.

Alarm I/O cable (VN-H57U)

A 50-meter or less length shielded cable is 
recommended.

Connect the stereo mini jack cable (

Φ

 

3.5).

R channel (MIC IN)

: Connect to a condenser microphone that has a plug-in power system.

L channel (LINE OUT) : Connect to a speaker that has a built-in amp.

Note

•  Always connect an external mic to the R channel only. If you plug the mic jack directly into the [AUDIO IN/OUT] 

terminal, a loud noise may be generated.

Memo

•  A shielded audio cable is recommended.

* For the location to connect the audio cable, refer to [Cabling] (

 page 2).
