IMPORTANT:

 

● Connect/disconnect the audio cables and turn on the power of the camera after turning 

off the power of the audio output devices. Otherwise, loud noise may be heard from 

the speaker.

 

● Make sure that the stereo mini plug is connected to this cable. When a monaural mini 

plug is connected, audio may not be heard.  

When connecting a monaural speaker with amplifier, use a locally procured conversion 

cable (mono-stereo). 

Connect an external amplifier-embedded speaker to the audio output cable

Connect a stereo mini plug (ø3.5 mm) (Audio output is monaural.). Use an external powered speaker.

 

● Output impedance 

: Approx. 600 Ω (unbalanced)

 

● Recommended cable length : Less than 10 m {32.8 feet}

 

● Output level 

: –20 dBV

Microphone/line input cable

Connect a monaural mini plug (ø3.5 mm).

 

● Input impedance: Approx. 2 kΩ (unbalanced)

 

● Recommended cable length: Less than 1 m {3.28 feet} (for microphone input)

Less than 10 m {32.8 feet} (for line input)

 

● Recommended microphone: Plug-in power type (option)    ●Supply voltage: 2.5 V ±0.5 V

IMPORTANT:

 

● Use all 4 pairs (8 pins) of the LAN cable.

 

● The maximum cable length is 100 m {328 feet}.

 

● Make sure that the PoE device in use is compliant with IEEE802.3af standard.

 

● When connecting both the 12 V DC power supply and the PoE device for power 

supply, 12 V DC will be used for power supply.*

*  If a 12 V DC power supply and a PoE hub or router are used at the same time, 

network connections may not be possible. In this case, disable the PoE settings. 

Refer to the operating instructions of the PoE hub or router in use.

 

● When the LAN cable is disconnected once, reconnect the cable after around 

2 seconds. When the cable is quickly reconnected, the power may not be supplied 

from the PoE device.

IMPORTANT:

 

● Do not connect 2 wires or more directly to a terminal. When it is necessary to con-

nect 2 or more wires, use a splitter.

 

● Off, input, and output of the external I/O terminal 2 and 3 can be switched by con-

figuring the setting. Refer to the Operating Instructions on the provided CD-ROM 

for further information about the EXT I/O terminal 2 and 3 (ALARM IN2, 3) settings 

(“Off”, “Alarm input”, “Alarm output” or “AUX output”).

 

● Install external devices so that they do not exceed the rating of the network camera.

 

● When using the EXT I/O terminals as the output terminals, ensure they do not 

cause signal collision with external signals.

IMPORTANT:

 

● The adjustment monitor is used for checking the adjustment of the angular field of 

view when installing the camera or when servicing. It is not provided for recording/

monitoring use. 

 

● Depending on the monitor, some characters (camera title, preset ID, etc.) may not 

be displayed on the screen. 

 

● Use a switching hub or a router which is compliant with 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX. 

 

● If a PoE hub is not used, each network camera must be connected to a 12 V DC 

power supply.

 

● When using 12 V DC, power supply from a PoE hub or router is not required.
