4.1. Installing a Lens
High definition (HD) lenses are recommended on the camera to utilize the full
resolution of a megapixel camera. Installing a standard definition (SD) lens to a
megapixel camera may exacerbate camera noises and possibly introduce traditional
edge effects.
If a camera is exposed to harsh temperature environment (ex. diurnal temperature
variations higher than ±10
˚
C), condensation or thermal expansion are likely to occur in
camera and lens parts, causing lens focus to shift time to time. Be advised to
consider the environment condition impact when installing the device in a long term.
To mount a DC auto iris lens,
1.
Place the lens mount to the camera and tighten the mount by turning clockwise.
2.
Connect the lens cable to the 4-pin auto iris connector on the side of the
