Figure 3 Camera Installation
Adjusting the Camera Position
The HD3VC4S Series camera has three axes for
positioning the camera. While monitoring the
picture on the monitor, adjust the camera
position as follows:
Horizontal Adjustment Rotate the 3D
assembly in the base. Do not turn the assembly
more than 360° as this may cause the internal
cables to twist and disconnect or break.
Vertical Adjustment After loosening the
thumbnuts, position the camera as desired, then
finger-tighten the thumbnuts to set the position.
Horizontal Rotation For Wall Mount and Tilted
Ceilings Rotate the lens base (maximum 360°)
until you are satisfied with the field of view.
Figure 4 Camera Adjustment
Adjusting the Lens
1. Loosen the Zoom lever (#3) counter-
clockwise a little, then rotate the Zoom
lever and determine the image view.
2. Loosen the Focus lever (#4) counter-
clockwise a little, then adjust the focus for
optimum picture sharpness.
3. Re-tighten the Zoom lever and Focus lever
after adjustment.
Note It is important that you lock the zoom
and focus levers after making
adjustments. This will avoid the
positions moving (for example, from
temperature changes or vibrations).
Optional Camera Settings
See Figure 5 for location on the camera board of
the camera adjustment functions described
below.
