● How to initialize the camera
Follow the steps below to initialize the network camera.
q
Turn off the power of the camera. When using a PoE hub, disconnect the LAN cable from the camera.
When using an external power supply, disconnect the 2P power cable plug from the camera.
w
Turn on the power of the camera while holding down the INITIAL SET button, and keep the INITIAL
SET button held down till the SD MOUNT indicator is lit in green (more than 10 seconds). In
about 2 minutes after releasing the INITIAL SET button, the camera will start up and the settings
including the network settings will be initialized.
● When data is being sent via the network camera
Blinks green (accessing)
Turn off each system’s power supply before making a connection. Before making connections,
prepare the required peripheral devices and cables.
* Use a LAN cable (category 5e or better, 8 pins, straight).
● When the camera is able to communicate with the
Lights orange
connected device
● When an SD memory card*

is inserted and could
Lights off → Blinks green →
be recognized
Lights off
● When data can be saved after the SD memory card is
Lights off → Lights green
inserted and the SD ON/OFF button is pressed
(less than 1 second)
● When data can be saved to the SD memory card
Lights green
● When the SD memory card is removed after holding
Lights green → Blinks green →
down the SD ON/OFF button (about 2 seconds)
Lights off (recording)
Lights green → Lights off
(waiting for recording)
● When data cannot be saved to the SD memory card
Lights off
because an abnormality was detected or the SD
memory card is configured not to be used
IMPORTANT:
● When the camera is initialized, the settings including the network settings will be initial-
ized. Note that the CRT key (SSL encryption key) used for the HTTPS protocol will not be
initialized.
● Before initializing the settings, it is recommended to write down the settings in advance.
● Do not turn off the power of the camera during the process of initialization. Otherwise, it
may fail to initialize and may cause malfunction.
IMPORTANT:
● Use all 4 pairs (8 pins) of the LAN cable (category 5e or better, straight).
● 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 sup-
ply, 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, net-
work 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.
* In the situation where a 12 V DC power supply and a PoE hub or router are used at the
same time and the 12 V DC power supply is then disconnected, the power supply may
be stopped and the camera may restart depending on the PoE hub or router used.
● 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.
● When cables are used outdoors, there is a chance that they may be affected by lightning.
In this case, install a lightning arrester just before where the cables connect to the camera.
Connect a LAN cable to the RJ45 (female) network cable
Waterproof treatment for the cable joint sections
When connecting to a network using a PoE hub
Microphone/line input cable
Connect a stereo 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
● Recommended sensitivity of microphone: –48 dB ±3 dB (0 dB=1 V/Pa,1 kHz)
● Input level for the line input: Approx. –10 dBV
IMPORTANT:
● Be sure to use the
Ⓓ
4P alarm cable (accessory) provided with this product.
● When using the EXT I/O terminals as the output terminals, ensure they do not cause
signal collision with external signals.
● Install external devices so that they do not exceed the ratings above.
Connect the alarm input/output cable
<Ratings>
• ALARM IN1(DAY/NIGHT IN), ALARM IN2, ALARM IN3
Input specification: No-voltage make contact input (4 V - 5 V DC, internally pulled up)
OFF:
Open or 4 V - 5 V DC
ON:
Make contact with GND (required drive current: 1 mA or more)
• ALARM OUT, AUX OUT
Output specification: Open collector output (maximum applied voltage: 20 V DC)
Open:
4 V - 5 V DC by internal pull-up
Close:
Output voltage 1 V DC or less (maximum drive current: 50 mA)
*
The default of EXT I/O terminals is “Off”.
Connect an external amplifier-embedded speaker to the audio output cable
Connect a stereo mini plug (ø3.5 mm).
● Output impedance: Approx. 600 Ω (unbalanced)
● Recommended cable length: Less than 10 m {32.8 feet}
● Output level: –20 dBV
IMPORTANT:
● Connect/disconnect the audio cables and turn on the power of the camera after turn-
ing 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 conver-
sion cable (mono-stereo).
Adequate waterproof treatment is required for the cables when installing the camera with cables
exposed or installing it under the eaves. The camera body is waterproof, but the cable ends are
not waterproof.
Be sure to use the supplied waterproof tape at the points where the cables are connected to ap-
ply waterproof treatment in the following procedure. Failure to observe this or use of a tape other
than the
Ⓚ
waterproof tape (accessory) (such as a vinyl tape) may cause water leakage resulting
in malfunction.
Before starting the installation, check the entire system configuration. The following illustration
gives a wiring example of how to connect the camera to the network via a PoE device (hub).
<LAN cable>
< Alarm input/output cable, power cable, micro-
phone/line input cable, audio output cable>
IMPORTANT:
● Also waterproof the
Ⓘ
2P power cable (accessory),
Ⓓ
4P alarm cable (accessory), and external connections
in the same way.
● Stretch the tape by approx. twice (see the illustration)
and wind it around the cable. Insufficient tape stretch
causes insufficient waterproofing.
● To prevent the LAN cable hook from coming loose
easily, fit the
Ⓙ
LAN connector cover (accessory)
onto the pigtail cable as illustrated, and then slide it in
the direction indicated by the arrow.
The connector of the LAN cable used with this cam-
era must meet the following restrictions.
Height when inserted (From bottom to hook.):
Max. 16 mm {5/8 inches}
Connector width: Max. 14 mm {9/16 inches}
● To install this product outdoors, be sure to waterproof
the cables. Waterproof grade (IEC IP66 or equivalent) is
applied to this product only when it is installed correctly
as described in these operating instructions and appro-
priate waterproof treatment is applied. The internal parts
of
Ⓑ
base brackets (accessory) are not waterproofed.

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.
