Usage Features
High Color Sensitivity: The camera incorporates the latest 1/3" Super-HAD IT CCD to enhance color sensitivity, allowing for better image capture in various lighting conditions.
Resolution: It utilizes Full Digital Image Processing technology to implement a high-resolution image, ensuring clear and detailed surveillance footage.
Excellent Back Light Compensation: This feature guarantees a sharp image by compensating for back light, ensuring that subjects are visible even when strong light sources are behind them.
Digital Power Synchronization: The camera adopts a full digital line lock system to enable vertical synchronization, enhancing manipulation and reliability.
Dynamic CCD Defect Compensation: Advanced technology is used to compensate for CCD defects, providing clear, sharp, and noise-free images, even in low contrast scenes.
Color Rolling Correction: In environments with mechanical fluorescent lighting, the camera can experience "color rolling" due to the flickering of the lights. This issue can be resolved by using the Line Lock function or the Auto Iris Lens, which adjusts the color temperature input to the camera.
Power Port: The camera is powered by an AC24V or DC12V adapter.
Power Indication LED: An LED indicates when the camera is powered on.
Vertical Synchronization Phasing Switch (Left/Right): These switches are used to adjust the vertical synchronization phasing, allowing for precise alignment of the video signal.
Function Switches (SW1-SW4):
- SW1 (ELC - Electronic Light Control): Used for manual iris lenses. It adjusts the electronic shutter speed to maintain proper screen brightness. For auto iris lenses (DC control type), this switch should be set to OFF.
- SW2 (BLC - Back Light Compensation): Compensates for displays that are too bright or too dark when indoor lighting or windows reflect against the subject.
- SW3 (FL - Flickerless): An anti-flicker system that prevents flickering of the image due to mismatch between the vertical sync frequency and the on-off frequency of lighting. It is recommended to set SW3 to ON if SW1 (ELC) is set to ON, otherwise it may not work.
- SW4 (AWB - Auto White Balance): Automatically adjusts the image color according to the temperature change of the lightning color. It can be set to ATW (Auto Tracking White Balance) for continuous adjustment or AWC (Auto White Balance Control) for a normal color temp switch with the OFF to operate at a certain white balance level. Note that AWB can cause an error in the following conditions: a big subject of a uniform color with a high saturation exists in the center of the screen or if few part of the image is in white, or if lighting is made of special material like sodium.
Function Switch (L/L INT EXT):
- INT (Internal Synchronization Mode): Operates in the internal synchronization mode.
- EXT (Power Synchronization Mode): Operates in the power synchronization mode. If the camera uses DC 12V for power source, it operates in the internal mode regardless of the position (EXT/INT) of the L/L switch.
DC IRIS Level Bar: Used to adjust the iris level of the DC iris lens using a screwdriver. Anti-clockwise decreases luminance, and clockwise increases luminance. The DC iris range is between 80IRE and 120IRE. For other words, the DC lens adopts a variable range limitation system, rather than Iris Full Open/Close system. Depending on the type of the lenses used that allows setting the value below 75 IRE may cause IRIS hunting. Therefore, make sure that the range is set to an appropriate level (higher than 80 IRE).
Video Out Port: Connects to the Video Out port of a monitor. The video signal is output via this port.
Lens Installation: The camera supports both lens without zooming feature and lens with zooming feature. Adjustments involve loosening screws on the adjustable ring of the flange back and turning it anti-clockwise/clockwise to set the "C" direction (anti-clockwise) to the end. The internal image sensor or the lens on the camera should be installed. For lenses with zooming, adjustments are made for both sharp subject capture and zoom levels.
Back Focus Adjustment: The back focus is predefined by the factory default. If the camera is out of focus, follow the instructions to adjust the back focus. The procedure is used to set the proper back focus point in fixed focus lenses.
