2. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
• Do not direct the camera lens to the sun, strong lighting, or reflected light. If strong light enters the lens, this
may cause the CCD's internal color filter to deteriorate, leading to image discoloration.
• Do not give the camera a great shock or vibration to avoid camera damage.
• It is recommended that the camera be always used in locations where the ambient temperature ranges from
-10°C to +50°C (14°F to 122°F) and humidity levels of less than 90% to ensure that no condensation is
formed.
• To clean, wipe with a dry soft cloth. Never use benzene, thinner or chemically processed towel as the
camera's plastic or other parts may be deformed or discolored.
• When dust has settled on the unit's lens, lightly clean using a commercial camera blower or cleaning paper.
• Installing the camera cables in close proximity to fluorescent lamps or other electrical appliances can
downgrade the picture quality. In such cases, change the wiring.
• If there is a strong electric or magnetic field near the camera, such as television transmission antennas,
motors or transformers, this may distort or roll the monitor picture. In such cases, run the entire wiring route
through metal conduit tubing.
• Do not install the unit in locations where solvents or chemicals are used as the unit's dome cover may be
deformed or discolored.
• When operating on 12 V DC, use the external power supply rated at 12 V DC and over 1.0 A.
• Since the Day/Night camera features sealed construction, condensation can build up inside the camera,
causing the inside of the dome cover to fog. Ensure that the camera is installed under low humidity
conditions.
• Avoid installing the Day/Night IR camera in locations exposed to cold air or close to an air-conditioner outlet
vent, as the dome cover may become fogged.
3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The C-CV854R-3 is Vandal Resistant Day/Night IR Camera equipped with a Day/Night function. It functions
as a color camera (day mode) in bright locations and as a high-sensitivity black & white camera (night mode)
in dark locations. Since the camera's built-in infrared LED illuminator lights in night mode, video surveillance is
possible even in no light conditions, allowing the camera to be used for around-the-clock surveillance. Noise
reduction function enables low noise, clear images to be viewed even under poor lighting conditions. Its dust-
proof and waterproof (IP66) construction permits it to be mounted to an outdoor wall or ceiling without using a
special device. Since the camera unit is constructed of die-cast aluminum alloy and its dome section is made
of polycarbonate, it ensures high resistance to strong impacts. It features a 3-axis (horizontal, vertical and
rotation) adjustment mechanism and a 3x varifocal lens which facilitate adjustment of camera orientation and
view angle at the time of installation.
The power is supplied from 24 V AC or 12 V DC external power source. The use of an optional heater unit
allows the C-CV854R-3 to be used at ambient temperatures as low as -30°C (-22°F.)
