About the automatic status detection
function
When this product malfunctions due to exoge-
nous noise, etc. for 30 seconds or more, the
product will automatically reset and will return
to normal state. When the product is reset, ini-
tialization will be carried out as when the power
of the product is turned on. When the product
repeatedly resets, exogenous noise level
around the product may be high and that may
cause malfunction. Contact your dealer for
instructions.
Transmission interval
Image transmission interval may become slow
depending on the network environment, PC
performance, shooting subject, access num-
ber, etc.
Periodically images on the screen appear
to be distorted
When the camera is installed in a location
where it is subject to small vibrations (for exam-
ple, when it is installed near devices that
vibrate), images may appear distorted and
stretched lengthways. This phenomenon is a
characteristic of image pickup devices that use
CMOS sensors and is caused by the relation-
ship between the periodic movements of the
camera and the timing that the image sensor
reads images. This is not a problem with the
camera. To reduce the possibility of this phe-
nomenon occurring, install the camera in a
secure location.

matted. If an unformatted SD memory card
or an SD memory card formatted with
other devices is used, this product may

CD-ROM for how to format an SD memory
card.

with this product, the product may not
work properly or performance deterioration
may be caused. Use the SD memory

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 discolor-
ation. 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
objects crossing the shooting area may
look to be bending askew.
About the “Day & Night(IR)” function
When the “Day & Night(IR)” is set to ON and
the “Adjusting method” to “Auto”, the focus
may be off depending upon the condition of
the photographic subject. If this happens, set
the “Adjusting method” to “Preset” and use
either auto or manual to focus. The camera is
able to remember the focus position. For infor-
mation about performing the “Day & Night(IR)”
setting, refer to the Operating Instructions
(included in the CD-ROM).
