when the user’s computer meets the
specification requirements.
ⅷ Use of this product and cables connected to
this product at locations where strong electric
waves and magnetic waves are generated
(e.g., near radio, TV, transformer, monitor,
etc.) may cause noise interferences in the
images or changes in the color.

However, this is not a malfunction.
ⅷ
If a high-intensity object (such as a lamp) is
shot, vertical lines may appear on the image
(smear phenomenon) or blurring may occur
around the high-intensity object (blooming
phenomenon). This is a CCD characteristic and
is not a malfunction.

ⅷ The electronic shutter of this product is set to
1/60 by default. To prevent flickering under
fluorescent lighting (except inverter
illumination) in a location with commercial
power frequency of 50 Hz, switch the shutter
speed to 1/100. (The sensitivity decreases a
little when the shutter speed is 1/100.)
ⅷ When Easy Day and Night is set to AOnB, the
image becomes black and white in dark
locations. As the sensitivity is increased at
this time, the screen may appear grainy and
white spots may also increase. In addition,

reduce power consumption.
ⅷ The image may be distorted or be mixed with
noises when the power voltage is cut off
instantaneously or is lowered by a lightning
strike or by switching on an air conditioner.

may cause the dome cover to be reflected in
the image. In this case, adjust the field angle
if required. (A Pg. 29)
ⅷ When multicast is in use, use the IGMPv2-
compliant network switch.
ⅷ Electricity can be supplied to this product
either by using the PoE or connecting to the
DC12 V power supply. Make sure to select
only one mode of electrical supply.
Connecting the power cable and the LAN
cable for the PoE at the same time may result
in failure or malfunction of the camera.

Selecting Mounting Method
Mounting on a ceiling
T The thickness of the ceiling material should
be between 9.5 mm and 22 mm.
The procedures differ according to the mounting
method. Check the respective items before
mounting.
Ⅵ Setup
Note：
please check with your dealer or nearest JVC
servicing center.
1.Open a hole in the ceiling (R120 mm,4-3/4
inches)
2.Draw the cables from the ceiling.
Draw the fall-prevention wire, LAN cable, power
cable and alarm cable from the ceiling. These
are mounted beforehand on the ceiling slab.
(The fall-prevention wire is not supplied.)
Mounting Method
ⅷ Mounting on a ceiling (A Pg. 17)
ⅷ Mounting directly on a ceiling or
alongside a wall (A Pg. 20)
Note：
● Also pay careful attention to the length,
strength, wiring and material (insulation
quality) of the fall-prevention wire to be used.
● For the fall-prevention wire, the inside
diameter of the ring section to be mounted on
the camera unit should be between R3.1 mm
and R5.5 mm, and the outside diameter
should be below R9 mm.

Using the PoE
Power Connection
Connect to a device that supports PoE and
supply electricity from the LAN cable.
Electricity can be supplied to this product either
by using the PoE or connecting to the DC12 V
power supply.
ⅷ When electricity is supplied to the camera,
the status indicator blinks, and turns off when
startup is complete.
What is PoE (Power over Ethernet)?
This is a function that enables operation of a
LAN equipment without a power cable by
supplying power simultaneously with the data
using a LAN cable.
Note：
● Make sure to select only one mode of
electrical supply. Connecting the power cable
and the LAN cable for the PoE at the same
time may result in failure or malfunction of the
camera.
Connect to PoE-
compatible device

Warning
Connect this product to the DC12 V power
supply when not using the PoE.
Connect the polarity correctly.
The rated power of this product is DC12 V.
Make sure to use it with the correct voltage.
Supplying a power different from the rated
value may result in failures and in the worst
scenario, smoking and fire.

Memo：
Note：
● In a system where multiple units of VN-
C215V4U are used, turn on the power of only
1 unit to configure the IP address settings via
the Internet Explorer. Upon doing so, turn on
the power of the second unit and configure
accordingly. Configure the camera settings
using the same procedure.
● Make sure to select only one mode of
electrical supply. Connecting the power cable
and the LAN cable for the PoE at the same
time may result in failure or malfunction of the
camera.
● Whenever duplication of IP addresses
occurs, check that there is only one VN-
C215V4U under the same LAN environment
and wait for at least 10 minutes. Access to
VN-C215V4U may be denied unless you
restore the power supply of all network
devices under the same LAN environment.

Insufficient network bandwidth
Network Requirements
When there is insufficient bandwidth, the
number of JPEG frames (frame rate) that the
client can acquire will decrease.
● Ensure that there is sufficient network
bandwidth for the data volume to be sent out
by VN-C215V4U.
● Data volume to be sent by VN-C215V4U
varies with the settings and number of
distributions.
● The maximum bit rate from VN-C215V4U is
about 9 Mbps.
Network Delay
When the client acquires JPEG via TCP, VN-
C215V4U will send out data while checking the
ACK from the client at the same time. For
networks with considerable delay, data cannot
be sent out until ACK is received, and therefore
the frame rate will drop.
Estimation of total bit rate
The JPEG file size per frame varies with the
encoding settings as well as input video signals.
The following table may be used as a reference.
When VFS is selected, the quantization table
during JPEG encoding will be maintained and
the file size will increase/decrease according to
the input signals. When AFS is selected,
encoding will be performed such that the
average size of multiple JPEG images is the
target file size.
Drop of frame rate due to network delay can be
eliminated by sending data via multicast.
Network Jitter
When there is considerable network jitter, delay
time may be prolonged and the image frame rate
may drop.

File Size
When acquiring images from VN-C215V4U via
TCP, packet loss may be recovered by
resending by TCP. When there is considerable
delay during resending, however, missing data
may occur and the image frame rate may drop.
When packet loss occurs during multicast
sending from VN-C215V4U, the image frame
rate may drop.

Purpose of Use
VN-C215V4U accepts requests from up to a

transmission of 1 multicast stream. The total

For example, when 10 fps is requested by 2

C215V4U settings
VN-C215V4U is set to ADHCP EnableB (the
DHCP client function is ON) by default. Start
VN-C215V4U in LAN without DHCP server.
After DHCP timeout, VN-C215V4U starts with
the following IP address.
There are 2 methods to set the IP address when
VN-C215V4U is in its default settings.
(A) Assigning an IP address to VN-C215V4U

Memo：
● To set a static IP address for VN-C215V4U,
connect VN-C215V4U, switching hub and
computer for setting using a straight LAN
cable of Category 5 and above.
Ⅵ (A) Assigning an IP address from the
DHCP server
● VN-C215V4U is set to ADHCP EnableB (the
DHCP client function is ON) by default. To
assign an IP address from DHCP server,
connect VN-C215V4U to LAN with DHCP
server, and turn on VN-C215V4U. Allowing
the DHCP server to assign the same IP
address to VN-C215V4U every time eases
access to VN-C215V4U.
ⅷ Set up the computer for setting the IP
address.
● Minimum computer specifications for
setting
OS
: Windows XP (Professional
or Home Edition) (SP2)
● For details on IP addresses assigned to VN-
C215V4U, please consult your network
administrator.
● You can look up the IP address of VN-
C215V4U using the [Search Tool] in the
attached CD-ROM.
For details, please refer to the AReadmeB file
in the attached CD-ROM.
Note：
Web browser : Internet Explorer Version 6.0
Note：
● When setting the IP address for VN-
C215V4U, do so by using a network that is
made up only of VN-C215V4U, the computer
for setting and the switching hub.
● Using a hub connected to other network
devices can cause problems.
● Set the DHCP server such that constant
IPaddress is assigned to VN-C215V4U
based on the MAC address of VN-C215V4U.
Access by clients can fail if the above setting
is not performed.
