Transmission interval
Image transmission interval may become slow depending
on the network environment, PC performance, shooting
subject, access number, etc.
Periodically images on the screen appear to be dis-
torted
When the camera is installed in a location where it is sub-
ject to small vibrations (for example, when it is installed
near devices that vibrate), images may appear distorted
and stretched lengthways. This phenomenon is a charac-
teristic of image pickup devices that use CMOS sensors
and is caused by the relationship between the periodic
movements of the camera and the timing that the image
sensor reads images. This is not a problem with the cam-
era. To reduce the possibility of this phenomenon occur-
ring, install the camera in a secure location.
What to do if “WARMING UP-PLEASE WAIT”
appears on the display.
This message indicates that the temperature inside the
camera has become extremely low.
In such a case, wait until the heater unit of the camera
raises the internal temperature (for around 2 hours or more
in low temperatures below –10 ºC {14 ºF}), and turn on
the power again.

About the MOS image sensor
• When continuously shooting a bright light source
such as a spotlight, the color filter of the MOS image
sensor may become deteriorated and this may cause
discoloration. Even when changing the fixed shooting
direction after continuously shooting a spotlight for a
certain period, the discoloration may remain.
• When shooting fast-moving subjects or performing
panning/tilting operations, objects crossing the shoot-
ing area may look to be bending askew.
