Firmly shut the memory card cover after inserting or removing the memory card. Memory card slot Memory card cover Inserting the card Push the memory card as far as possible into the memory card slot. Removing the card Push the memory card in all the way until the card slightly pops out. Pinch the card and remove. Important • Insert the memory card before installing the camera. • Make sure the memory card is not write-protected. • When using an memory card with the camera for the first time, it is recommended to format the card after inserting it into the camera (see "Operation Guide" > "Setting Page" > "Memory Card"). Installing the Camera Before installing the camera, set the IP address and other network information on the camera using the "Camera Management Tool" on the Setup CD-ROM. For details on how to operate the "Camera Management Tool", see "Camera Management Tool User Manual". 1 Mount the camera to the mounting bracket Use the mounting screw holes on the camera to securely fix the camera to the mounting bracket. Important • You must consult your retailer or provide the mounting bracket yourself. • A tripod mounting screw (1/4-20 UNC) will fit the fixing screw hole. • Be sure to use a mounting bracket with a mounting screw shorter than 5.5 mm (0.22 in.). Using a mounting bracket with a mounting screw 5.5 mm (0.22 in.) or longer may damage the camera. 2 Connect the cables to the camera Connect the LAN cable. If AC Adapter (sold separately) or an external power supply is used, connect the power connector to the camera. Connect cables to the external device I/O terminals and audio input/output terminals as necessary. 3 Set the camera angle When installation is complete, use the Camera Angle Setting Tool to check the image on the camera and manually adjust the camera angle. Zoom and focus can be adjusted with the Camera Angle Setting Tool (see "Operation Guide" > "Camera Angle Setting Tool"). Part Names MAC address The camera's unique address.

Memory card cover Audio input terminal (dual LINE IN and MIC IN) Using Camera Housing When using the camera mounted in commercial camera housing, remove the camera's protection plate to reduce the effects of excess reflections within the housing. • Remove the lock screw on the front cover and remove the front cover and protection plate. Then return only the front cover to its original position and fix in place with the lock screw. Lock screw Protection plate Front cover • When reattaching the protection plate, face the side with the cutout toward the lens. Cutout Connecting the Camera Power Connection Power can be supplied to the camera in the three ways described below. Please be sure to read the user manual for the dedicated power supply before use. Note • The camera does not have a power switch. Connecting and disconnecting the LAN cable (PoE power supply), AC adapter, or external power supply plug turns the power ON and OFF, respectively. • When the camera needs to be rebooted, perform the reboot operation from the camera setting page (see "Operation Guide" > "Setting Page" > "Maintenance").  PoE (Power over Ethernet) The camera supports PoE functions. Power can be supplied to the camera by using a LAN cable to connect it to a PoE HUB that conforms to the IEEE 802.3af standard. Important • Check with your dealer for more information about PoE HUB and Midspan technology. Midspan (a LAN cable power supply device) is a device that, like a PoE HUB, supplies power to the camera via a LAN cable. • Some PoE HUBs allow current limits for each port, but applying limits may interfere with performance. If using this type of PoE HUB, do not limit the operating current. • Some PoE HUBs have total consumption current limits for ports, which can interfere with performance when multiple ports are in use. For more information, check the instruction guide for your PoE HUB. • The camera can also be connected to an AC adapter (sold separately) while receiving power from a PoE HUB. In such cases, the PoE power supply is given priority, and the camera does not use the power supply from the AC adapter (sold separately). When the PoE power supply is disconnected, power is supplied automatically from the AC adapter (sold separately).  External Power Supply 12 V DC or 24 V AC input can be used. Connect the included power connector as shown below. Screwdriver Tightening torque: 0.25 N·m (max.) Strip Approx. 5 - 7 mm (0.20 - 0.28 in.) Power connector (included) 12 V DC can be connected in a non-polar configuration. Important • The power supply should be within the following voltage range. • 24 V AC: V oltage fluctuation within ±10% of 24 V AC (50 Hz or 60 Hz ±0.5 Hz or less) Current supply capacity of at least 1.0 A per camera • 12 V DC: Voltage fluctuation within ±10% of 12 V DC Current supply capacity of at least 1.5 A per camera • When using a 12 V DC battery power supply, be sure to connect resistors of at least 0.5 - 1.0 Ω/20 W in series to the power line. • For an external power supply, use a double-insulated device.
