ROCWARE RC15 Quick Start Guide

The ROCWARE RC15 is a full HD wide-angle camera designed for various applications, offering high-quality video output and a range of features for enhanced user experience.

Function Description

The RC15 camera is equipped with a 1/2.8" CMOS sensor with an effective pixel count of 2.07M, enabling it to deliver 1080P Full HD video at 30fps/25fps, and is backward compatible with 720P resolution. Its wide-angle lens provides a broader field of view, making it suitable for conference rooms and other environments where a wide perspective is crucial. The camera supports EPTZ (Electronic Pan, Tilt, Zoom) functionality, allowing for digital adjustments without mechanical movement, which contributes to its quiet operation and enhanced reliability.

A key feature of the RC15 is its low illumination performance. Utilizing 2D and 3D digital noise reduction algorithms, the camera significantly minimizes image noise, ensuring clear and sharp pictures even in ultra-low light conditions, with a high Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of 55dB. This makes it ideal for environments with varying lighting.

The camera integrates a built-in microphone array with omnidirectional sound pickup. This array, combined with a unique noise suppression algorithm, ensures clear and precise voice capture, making it suitable for video conferencing and other audio-visual communication needs.

Connectivity is simplified through a full-featured USB 2.0 interface, which handles power supply, video, and audio transmission all in one. This plug-and-play design ensures easy setup and operation across various platforms.

Safety Precautions:

• Transportation and Installation: Handle the product carefully to prevent damage from heavy pressure, violent vibration, or immersion. Install it on a smooth, stable desktop. The product's shell is made of organic material, so avoid contact with corrosive liquids, gases, or solids.
• Unauthorized Disassembly: The device contains no user-serviceable parts. Disassembly by the user will void the warranty.
• Environmental Considerations: Avoid shooting extremely bright objects like direct sunlight or strong lights, as this can affect image quality. Do not operate in unstable lighting conditions, which may cause image flickering. Keep the camera away from high-power radio wave transmitters (e.g., TV stations) to prevent electromagnetic interference that could affect the image.
• Hazardous Substances: The product complies with SJ/T 11364 regarding hazardous substances. While some components may contain hazardous substances above the GB/T 26572 limit (indicated by 'X' in the provided table for Pb in Metal, Glass, Circuit board, Power, and Attached parts), these are typically due to a lack of mature alternatives.

Maintenance Features

General Care:

• Power Management: If the camera will not be used for an extended period, disconnect the power switch.
• Cleaning the Housing: Use a soft cloth or cotton paper to gently remove dust from the camera housing.
• Cleaning the Lens: For lens cleaning, use a dry, soft cloth. If the lens is heavily soiled, a neutral cleaner can be used gently. Avoid strong or corrosive detergents, as they can scratch the lens and impair image quality.

By following these guidelines, users can ensure the longevity and optimal performance of their ROCWARE RC15 camera.
