Getting Started
Others (continued)
ⅷ
Depending on the stop position and rotation speed of
the horizontal/vertical rotation platform, the running
sound of the rotation platformfs motor may be heard,
but this is not a malfunction.
ⅷ
When using multicast, make use of a IGMPv2-
compliant network switch.
ⅷ
Some hubs/switches of products that are equipped
with intelligent features may include a broadcast/
multicast suppression function. Viewing of
multicast images on this product may fail if this
function is enabled.
ⅷ
The electronic shutter of this product is set to 1/60
by default. For regions with a commercial power
supply frequency of 50 Hz, switch to the 1/100
during use under fluorescent lights (excluding
inverter lighting equipment) to prevent flickers.
ⅷ
When the B&W mode is set to
A
Auto
B
, the image
turns black-and-white in a dark location. As the
sensitivity level is increased in this case, the
screen may appear grainy and more white spots
may appear. When switching between color and
black-and-white images, the brighter area on the
screen is emphasized, which may reduce the
visibility. However, this is not a malfunction.
ⅷ
If the power supply voltage is momentarily cut off
or reduced due to lightning or turning on of the air
conditioner’s power, the image may be disrupted
or noise interference may occur.
ⅷ
As the dome cover is of a semiglobular shape,
image distortion will occur at the hemispherical
edge. When the hemispherical edge of this unit is
masked and horizontal level is shot in a tilt
direction, the hemispherical edge will enter the
field angle. This may cause the upper edge of the
screen to become black and the focus unclear. In
this case, you can avoid shooting the above area
by using the tilt limit settings (
A
Page 70).
ⅷ
When shooting objects with a luminance
difference or near a light source, ghost may occur
on the screen. This is a feature of the dome cover
and the built-in lens, and is not a malfunction.
ⅷ
In particular, manual and auto pan operation near
the TELE edge (telephoto side) may cause the
screen to vibrate (unsmooth rotation). This is a
feature of the motor and is not a malfunction.
ⅷ
As long magnification lens is used in this product,
the focus may be unclear due to temperature
changes but this is not a malfunction.
ⅷ
Preset the focus under an environment with a
temperature closest to that in your actual usage. If
the temperature change is large and the focus
becomes unclear, preset the focus again before
using the product.
ⅷ
If you sense that the focus has become unclear
due to temperature changes, use the Auto
Foucua(AF) function or reset the focus
manually.
Transporting the unit
ⅷ
Remove the connecting cables when transporting
the unit.
ⅷ
When transporting the unit, turn off the power of
the system.
ⅷ
Pack the unit with cushioning material so as to
avoid shock when transporting.
ⅷ
Handle the unit with care and do not subject it to
vibration or shock.
Copyright Protection
ⅷ
With the exception of the user being the
copyright holder or when permission such as for
duplication has been granted by the copyright
holder, permission is required in principle for the
duplication, modification, or transmission of
copyrighted video and audio data.
Unauthorized duplication, modification, or
transmission of copyrighted material may
constitute a copyright infringement, and the
user may be liable to compensate for any
damages. When using copyrighted video/audio
data, be sure to check the license agreement of
the copyrighted material thoroughly.
When rights or rights holders are involved with
regard to the targeted duplicating subject,
permission may be required for shooting or
using (processing) it. Be sure to check the
licensing conditions thoroughly.
Maintenance
ⅷ
Turn off the power before performing maintenance.
ⅷ
Wipe using a soft cloth.
Wiping with thinner or benzene may melt or tarnish
its surface. For tough stains, wipe using a cloth
that is dipped into a neutral detergent diluted with
water, followed by wiping with a dry cloth.
ⅷ
When the same position is monitored for 24 hours
continuously over a long period, the increased
contact resistance on the horizontal rotation
section may cause noise interferences in the
images and operation from the computer may
become unstable. As such, this product is
equipped with an auto cleaning function that
performs cleaning once a week.
Saving Energy
ⅷ
If the camera is not to be used for a long time,
turn off the power of the system for safety and
energy conservation reasons.
