Overview

The Samsung SDC-435 is an Ultra High Resolution Camera designed for surveillance systems. This user guide provides comprehensive instructions for installation, operation, and maintenance, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the device.

Function Description

The SDC-435 is a high-performance CCD camera that delivers clear and stable images across various lighting conditions. It incorporates a 1/3" SONY CCD with 410,000 (NTSC) or 470,000 (PAL) pixels, achieving a horizontal resolution of 600 TV lines for color.

Key functions include:

  • High Resolution: Provides clear picture quality with a high horizontal resolution, suitable for detailed surveillance.
  • Excellent Sensitivity: Features a built-in high-sensitivity COLOR CCD, enabling clear image capture even in very low illumination (0.05 Lux in color, 0.0001 Lux with SENS-UP).
  • SSNR3 (Samsung Super Noise Reduction) Function: Utilizes a high-performance W-V DSP chip to effectively remove low-light gain noise and afterimages, resulting in clearer images in dark environments.
  • SSDR (Samsung Super Dynamic Range): Addresses high-contrast lighting conditions by selectively illuminating darker areas while maintaining the light level in brighter areas, thereby evening out overall brightness.
  • DIS (Digital Image Stabilizer): Compensates for camera movement to produce more stable pictures, although its use may slightly decrease resolution.
  • Electrical Day&Night: Automatically switches between color (day) and monochrome (night) modes based on ambient light to optimize image clarity and definition.
  • Motion Detection: Detects motion within specified areas without requiring external sensors, enhancing monitoring efficiency.
  • Video/DC Drive Lens Support: Compatible with both Video and DC Drive lenses, offering flexibility in lens selection.
  • Coaxial Communication: Supports coaxial communication methods, specifically the Pelco Coaxitron protocol, for convenient control.
  • Miscellaneous Functions: Includes HLC (High Light Compensation), SENS-UP, FLIP (H/V-REV), D-ZOOM, SHARPNESS, MOTION DETECTION, and PRIVACY functions for enhanced versatility.
  • OSD (On-Screen Display): Features an intuitive OSD menu available in 18 languages for easy configuration and control.

Usage Features

The SDC-435 offers a range of features to customize image settings and adapt to different surveillance needs:

  • Lens Control: Supports auto iris lenses (DC and Video type) and manual lenses. Users can adjust video iris signals, focus, and iris control speed. For DC lenses, A.FLK shutter mode is recommended to prevent color rolling.
  • Exposure Settings: Allows adjustment of brightness, shutter speed (ESC, A.FLK, Manual), AGC (Auto Gain Control) level (Off, Low, High), and SENS-UP (Off, Auto) for optimal image exposure in varying light conditions. SENS-UP enhances low-light performance but may introduce noise or afterimages at higher zoom levels.
  • White Balance: Provides multiple modes (ATW, OUTDOOR, INDOOR, MANUAL, AWC-SET) to adjust screen color accurately, compensating for different color temperatures and lighting environments.
  • SSDR (Samsung Super Dynamic Range): Activates to balance brightness in scenes with high contrast, improving visibility in both bright and dark areas.
  • Backlight Compensation (BLC/HLC): BLC allows users to select and enhance specific areas on the screen for clearer viewing. HLC compensates for extremely bright light sources (e.g., car headlights) that might otherwise mask details, with adjustable level, limit, mask color/tone, and area.
  • SSNR3 (Samsung Super Noise Reduction): Reduces background noise in low-luminance environments, with adjustable noise reduction levels. This function is dependent on the AGC mode.
  • Day/Night Mode: Configurable to COLOR, B/W, or AUTO. In AUTO mode, the camera switches between color and B/W based on ambient light, with an adjustable DWELL TIME for switching duration. Burst signal can be turned on or off in B/W mode.
  • Special Functions:
    • Image Adjustment (IMAGE ADJ.): Includes V-REV (vertical flip), H-REV (horizontal flip), D-ZOOM (digital zoom up to x16), FONT COLOR (OSD font color adjustment), and SHARPNESS (picture outline enhancement).
    • Monitor Settings: Allows selection of monitor type (LCD, CRT, USER) and adjustment of gamma, PED level, and color gain for USER monitors.
    • Camera Title (CAM TITLE): Enables users to display a custom title (up to 15 characters) on the monitor screen, with adjustable position.
    • Synchronization (SYNC): Supports internal synchronization (INT) and power synchronization (L/L) for multi-camera setups, with adjustable phase for L/L type.
    • Motion Detection (MOTION DET.): Configurable with up to 8 programmable zones, adjustable sensitivity, and fill color for detected areas.
    • Privacy Masking (PRIVACY): Allows users to mask up to 12 privacy areas on the screen with adjustable color, tone, size, and position.
    • Digital Image Stabilizer (DIS): Mitigates picture movement caused by external factors like wind, though it may reduce resolution and is not effective in very low light or with monotonic object patterns.
    • Language: Supports multiple languages for the OSD menu.

Maintenance Features

Proper maintenance ensures the camera's reliability and performance:

  • Environmental Precautions:
    • Avoid extreme temperatures (-10°C to +50°C operating range) and high humidity.
    • Do not expose the camera to rain, liquids, or radioactivity.
    • Ensure good ventilation, especially in high-temperature conditions.
    • Avoid unstable lighting conditions, which can hinder normal operation.
  • Physical Handling:
    • Do not drop the camera or subject it to physical shock.
    • Handle the lens carefully to avoid smearing with fingerprints.
    • Never point the camera directly at strong light sources, as this can damage the CCD.
  • Lens Care:
    • Keep the lens surface clean. Dirt or fingerprints can degrade picture quality.
    • Use specified lens connection parts to prevent damage or poor fitting.
    • Avoid using lenses heavier than 450g, as this can affect camera balance and cause malfunctions.
  • Power Supply:
    • Ensure the power source complies with normal specifications (DC 12V±10%, AC 24V±10%, AC 230V±10% for SDC-435PH).
    • Use appropriate power adaptors and pure copper coaxial cables for optimal performance and communication.
    • Disconnect power during thunderstorms.
  • Troubleshooting:
    • The manual provides a troubleshooting guide for common issues such as no display, dim/dark images, flickering screens, and communication problems.
    • Users are advised to check power connections, lens type, monitor settings, and specific camera function configurations (e.g., AGC, SHUTTER, WHITE BAL, MOTION DET) when issues arise.
    • If problems persist, contact a qualified service technician.
  • RoHS Compliance: The product is designed to comply with the EU RoHS Directive, reflecting Samsung Techwin's commitment to environmentally friendly manufacturing.
