IMPORTANT:
● Also waterproof the
F
2P power cable (accessory),
E
4P alarm cable (accessory), and external connec-
tions in the same way.
● Stretch the tape to approx. twice its length (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
D
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 camera 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 camera mount bracket is not waterproof.

● 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 camera.
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 after you have released the INITIAL SET but-
ton, the camera will start up and the settings including the network settings will be initialized.
● When data is being sent via the network camera

Turn off each system’s power supply before making a connection. Before making connections,
prepare the required peripheral devices and cables.
● When the camera is able to communicate with the

● When an SD memory card is recognized normally
Lights red → Lights off
● When the SD memory card slot is not used or an abnormality

is detected in SD memory card after the camera has started
IMPORTANT:
● When the camera is initialized, the settings including the network settings will be initialized.
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 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.
* Depending on the PoE device used, if you stop the 12 V DC power supply after
operating it and a PoE hub or router at the same time, the power supply may stop,
causing the camera to restart.
● When the LAN cable is disconnected once, reconnect the cable after around 2 sec-
onds. 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 light-
ning. In this case, install a lightning arrester just before where the LAN cable con-
nects 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 stereo mini plug (ø3.5 mm {1/8 inches}).
● 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 line input: Approx. -10 dBV
* Use an external powered speaker.
Connect an external amplifier-embedded speaker to the audio/
monitor output cable
Connect a stereo mini plug (ø3.5 mm {1/8 inches}).
*
● Output impedance: Approx. 600 Ω (unbalanced)
● Recommended cable length: Less than 10 m {32.8 feet}
● Output level: -20 dBV (can switch to monitor output)
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 conversion 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 sup-
plied waterproof tape at the points where the cables are connected to apply 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 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/monitor output
cable>
Stretch the tape to
approx. twice its length.
2 x
IMPORTANT:
● The adjustment monitor is used to adjust the field of view when installing or servicing
the camera. It is not provided for recording/monitoring use.
● Depending on the adjustment 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.

IMPORTANT:
● Use 12 V DC power supply that is insulated from the commercial AC power.
● Be sure to use the
F
2P power cable (accessory) provided with this product.
● Be sure to fully insert the
F
2P power cable (accessory) into the 12 V DC power sup-
ply terminal. Otherwise, it may damage the camera or cause malfunction.
● When installing the camera, make sure that excessive force is not applied to the
power cable.
● Be sure to use an AC adaptor compliant with the specifications (written in the indication
label on the bottom side of this unit) regarding power source and power consumption.

Use a LAN cable (category 5 or better, cross) when directly connecting the camera to a PC.
Note:
● 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 further
information about the external I/O terminal 2 and 3 (ALARM IN2, 3) settings (“Off”,
“Alarm input”, “Alarm output”, “AUX output” or “DAY/NIGHT switching output”).
