The motorized zoom lens offers 19X optical zoom and is built around a 1/3-Type Sony® Exmor, progressive scan, high-speed, low noise CMOS image sensor with a total of 1.3 Megapixels for precise and vibrant HD color video images. The HD-USB achieves improved picture quality even in low light environments requiring a minimum illumination rated at an amazingly low 0.7 LUX (F1.6 - 50IRE). Intended Use: Before operating the device, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The system was designed, built and tested for use indoors, and with the provided power supply and cabling. The use of a power supply other than the one provided or outdoor operation has not been tested and could damage the device and/or create a potentially unsafe operating condition. Important Safeguards: Read and understand all instructions before using. Do not operate any device if it has been dropped or damaged. In this case, a Vaddio technician must examine the product before operating. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse in water or other liquids and avoid extremely humid conditions. Do not connect Ethernet or Power over Ethernet (POE) cables directly to the RJ-45 ports on the device as damage may result. Use only the power supply provided with the system. Use of any unauthorized power supply will void any and all warranties. Please do not use "pass-thru" type RJ-45 connectors. These pass-thru type connectors do not work well for professional installations and can be the cause of intermittent connections which can result in the RS-232 control line failing and/or locking up. For best results please use standard RJ-45 connectors and test all cables for proper pin-outs prior to use. ClearVIEW HD-USB PTZ Conferencing Camera Document Number 342-0437 Rev. D Page 3 of 36
