 How to initialize the camera

Follow the steps below to initialize the network camera.

1

  Turn off the power of the camera. When using a PoE hub, disconnect the LAN cable from the cam-

era. When using an external power supply, disconnect the 2P power cable plug from the camera.

2

  Turn on the power of the camera while holding down the INITIAL SET button, and then keep 

holding down the button for 5 seconds or more. About 2 minutes later, The camera will start 
up and the settings including the network settings will be initialized.

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:

This is valid if the [Monitor out] is set to [Switch priority] ([Switch priority] is selected by 

 

default). For details, refer to the Operating Instructions (included in the CD-ROM).

IMPORTANT:

Use all 4 pairs (8 pins) of the LAN cable (category 5 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 (category 5 or better, straight)

Waterproof treatment for the cable joint sections

When connecting to a network using a PoE hub

Microphone/line input cable

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

Input impedance: Approx. 2 k

Ω

 (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 provided with this product.

 

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

 

ing the setting. Refer to the Operating Instructions on the provided CD-ROM for fur-

ther information about the EXT I/O terminal 2 and 3 (ALARM IN2, 3) settings (“Off”, 

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

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 an external amplifier-embedded speaker to the audio output cable

Connect a stereo mini plug (ø3.5 mm) (Audio output is monaural.).*

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 provided waterproof tape (such as a vinyl tape) may cause water leakage resulting in 
malfunction.

Before starting the installation, check the entire system con

fi

 guration. 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>

Wind the tape in a
half-overlapping manner.

Wind the tape in a
half-overlapping 
manner.

IMPORTANT:

How to wind the supplied waterproof tape

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 

J

 LAN cable cover 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 equiva-
lent) is applied to this product only when it is installed 
correctly as described in these operating instructions 
and appropriate waterproof treatment is applied. The 
internal parts of base brackets are not waterproofed.

about twice.

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.
