Introduction
Characteristics
Ⅵ Frame Rate
Ⅵ High-speed Rotating Table
Supports a maximum frame rate of 30 fps
when resolution is 640 x 480 in the JPEG
compression format.
High-speed rotating table with a horizontal
panning speed of 180˚/sec and vertical tilting
speed of 120˚/sec makes it possible to recall
a preset position quickly.
Ⅵ Supports Multicast
Ⅵ Optical Zoom
Support for multicast enables sending of an
image data to multiple PCs on the network
at one time without lowering the frame rate.
Closer surveillance is made possible using
the 12x optical zoom lens.
Ⅵ Built-in CF (Compact Flash) Slot
Interface with alarms and enables storage of
a recording file in the CF card. Please
purchase the CF card separately.
Ⅵ Day/Night Surveillance
When the light is low, the camera is able to
switch automatically to the high-sensitive
(Black &White) mode by turning ON/OFF the
IR filter.
It also supports infrared illuminators
(wavelength of 850 nm to 880 nm).
Ⅵ Private Mask Feature
This feature enables setting to mask a certain
portion of the shooting area if it is to be
hidden.
Ⅵ Employment of a highly-sensitive CCD
and bright zoom lens
Ⅵ Motion Detection Feature
Employment of a highly-sensitive CCD and
bright zoom lens with a maximum aperture
ratio of F1.6 (at the Wide end) produces a
highly sensitive color mode of 3.6 lx (AGC:
20 dB, 50%).
Enables output of alarm upon detecting
motion of images within a specified area.
Ⅵ Built-in Web Server
Enables browsing using the Internet Explorer.
Operating Precautions
Ⅵ To save energy, turn off the power supply of
(top panel facing ceiling and side panel). Do
not install at a location that may trap heat,
such as near the walls.
Do not install at a location that may expose the
camera directly to cool air, such as nearby the
air outlet of air conditioners. This may cause
moisture to condense within the dome cover.
the system when not in use.
Ⅵ This camera is intended for indoor use. It
cannot be used outdoors.
Ⅵ
Ⅵ
This camera has been designed for suspension
from ceilings. Fixing it to the ground surface or
at an angle may cause malfunction or shorten
the product's service life.
Ⅵ Dew condensation may occur when there is
a drastic change in the ambient temperature
of the camera, hence causing a malfunction.
When the camera is installed at such
locations, turn on the power after allowing it
to dry for a few hours.
Ⅵ Do not point the camera lens at a strong light
source such as the sun.Doing so may cause
the camera to malfunction.
Ⅵ This camera contains a built-in AGC circuit.
As a result, gain increases at dark places
and screen may appear grainy. This is not a
malfunction.
Ⅵ Do not install or use the camera in the
following locations.
• Places exposed to rain or water
• Places containing vapor or oil soot, such
as kitchens
•
Places exceeding the operating ambient
temperature range (0 to 40
˚
˚)
• Places where corrosive gases are
generated
• Places nearby radiation or X-rays as well
as sources of strong radio waves or
magnetism
• Places subject to vibration
• Places with excessive dust
Ⅵ
When an equipment that generates a strong
magnetic field, such as transceivers, is used
near this camera with the AGC turned on, beat
noises may appear in the image.When using
a transceiver, therefore, place it at least 3 m
away from this camera.
Ⅵ Insufficient ventilation may cause the camera
to malfunction. Be careful not to block
ventilation around the camera.
This camera radiates heat from its surfaces

Ⅵ When playing back images by connecting a
coaxial cable to the VIDEO OUT terminal,
the image on the screen may appear shaky
(rotational motions are not smooth) when
using the Manual or Auto Pan operation
particularly near the Tele end. This
phenomenon is due to the characteristics of
the motor and is not a malfunction.
Ⅵ If this camera or cable connected this unit is
used near a location where strong electrical
or magnetic waves are generated (eg.radios,
TVs, transformers, monitors, etc.), noise
interference may occur in the image or its
color may be affected.
Ⅵ When the AGC circuit is on, brightness of
the screen may not change upon switching
the Auto Iris mode (Normal, + or -) using the
V.Networks Controller. This is due to the
automatic gain boost feature that is activated.
In this case, set AGC to OFF or use the
manual iris mode.
Ⅵ
Certain hubs/switches that are equipped with
the SNMP feature may come with a broadcast
or multicast control function. Proper viewing
of multicast images created by this camera
may not be possible if this function is enabled.
Ⅵ Do not touch the dome cover with your hand.
This may dirty the cover and cause the image
quality to deteriorate.
Ⅵ
Under certain brightness conditions,
switching the Auto Iris mode (Normal, + or -)
using theV.Networks Controller may not bring
about any change in brightness. In this case,
set the iris to the manual mode.
Ⅵ To clean the camera.
• Do so upon turning off the power.
Ⅵ
When this camera is used in theWhite Balance
(ATW) mode, the colors captured may differ
slightly from the actual colors due to the
operational principles of the auto-tracking
white balance circuit. This is not a malfunction.
• Use a lens cloth (or paper) to remove dirt
from the dome cover. The camera may
acquire dirt over a short period of time,
depending on the environment of use.
When there is excessive dirt, wipe using a
lens cloth (or paper) upon wetting it in a
neutral detergent diluted with water.
Ⅵ When shooting a bright object (eg. lamps,
etc.), white vertical streaks may appear on
the object on the screen. This is a
phenomenon (smear phenomenon) normal
to CCDs (solid-state image pickup devices)
and is not a malfunction.
Ⅵ Do not connect cameras other thanVN-C625
to the ceiling mount. Doing so may cause the
camera to malfunction.
Ⅵ Consumable Parts
Ⅵ When the camera is used to monitor the
same position over prolonged hours (such
as 24 hours of continuous monitoring),
contact resistance of the panning mechanism
may increase. This may cause noise
interference in the image or unstable
operation of the V.Networks Controller. To
prevent this from occurring, turn the power
of the system off and on again (to initialize
camera) once a week and clean the contacts.
The following parts are consumable. Please
replace them accordingly after a certain number
of hours or count of operations. The service lives
given below are only reference values and may
vary according to the operating environment and
conditions. Note that replacement of consumable
parts is chargeable even within the warranty period.
• Zoom lens assembly
Zooming operation : 2 million times
Focusing operation : 4 million times
Ⅵ
The dome cover is hemispherical in shape, and
therefore images tend to be distorted at the
edges of the hemisphere. The edges of the
hemisphere is masked for this camera. When
the camera is tilted and pointed in the horizontal
direction, therefore, edges of the hemisphere
may enter the angle of view, hence causing
the upper end of the screen to appear dark
and the image to go out of focus.
• Slip rings
: Approx. 5 million
operations
• Cooling fan
: Approx. 50,000 hours
Ⅵ Zooming operation
Focus may deviate slightly upon stopping of a
zoom operation near theTele end manually or
using a preset selection.
Ⅵ When shooting an object that is near a light
source (eg. lightings) or with a large
difference in brightness, ghosting may occur
on the screen. This phenomenon is due to
the characteristics of the dome cover and
built-in lens and is not a malfunction.
In addition, the manual zooming operation
may not always be smooth.
These phenomena are due to the
characteristics of the built-in lens and are not
malfunctions.
Ⅵ Ensure to use the Converter Unit that has
been supplied.

Introduction
Operating Precautions (continued)
Ⅵ Preset Positions
Ⅵ Auto Focus
The is a total of 100 preset positions that can
be set, including the home position.
Although this camera comes with the one-push
auto focus and EASY AF auto focus features, auto
focusing may sometimes be impossible
depending on the object and camera settings.
When this occurs, adjust the focus manually.
Ⅵ Image sending may be affected when this is
done on a network where multicast
transmission devices are connected, or on
networks for which there is transmission of
voluminous broadcast data. When this
occurs, ensure to employ a system design
that separates the camera from other
multicast or broadcast devices by making use
of a switching valve orVLAN with a multicast
control function.
Objects for which auto focusing is
difficult
• When brightness of the screen is extremely
high (bright)
• When brightness of the screen is extremely
low (dark)
• When brightness of the screen varies
continuously (eg. flashing lights, etc.)
Ⅵ When using the local recording feature with
a CF card, turning off the power during local
recording may damage the file. To prevent
damage of the file, make use of a UPS
(uninterruptible power supply).
• When there is poor contrast
• When vertical stripe patterns recur on the
screen
Camera settings for which auto focusing
is difficult
• When the AGC gain level increases and the
screen becomes grainy
Warning
Install at places that are strong enough
to support the camera weight.
Ⅵ Read Me
Install this camera at places that are strong
enough to support its weight upon taking
into consideration the vibration force during
high-speed rotation as well as its mass
(approx. 1.2 kg). For ceiling materials that
are weak, such as overlay plywood and
plaster boards, reinforce by applying
reinforcements (veneer plywood). If
reinforcement is inadequate, image on the
monitor screen may be blurred due to
vibrations.In the worst scenario, it may even
fall and cause serious injuries if there is
someone underneath.

Notes
Connecting multiple VN-C625 Cameras
In a system where more than 1VN-C625 is used, turn on the power for a VN-C625 first, followed
by setting the camera until "2-3 Setting IP Address for this Camera Using the 'VN-C625U Setup
Tool' " is completed. Upon doing so, turn on a second camera and perform setting in the same
way. Perform the same procedure for subsequent cameras.
• Default IP address setting for allVN-C625 cameras is 198.168.0.2.When the power for multiple
cameras are turned on at one time under a single LAN environment, therefore, proper access
may not be established due to IP address redundancy. Do not turn on the power of more than
1 camera at the same time.
• When IP address redundancy occurs, ensure that only one VN-C625 exists under a single
LAN environment, and wait for some time (at least 10 minutes). In some cases, the power for
all network devices under the same LAN environment may have to be turned off and on again
to enable access to VN-C625.

2-4 Other Settings Using the "VN-C625U Setup Tool" (4. Recording Setting)
This function is used to perform settings for local recording, which records camera images to
the CF card when the alarm is activated. Please purchase the CF card separately. ( Page 22)
☞
● When an alarm is activated, recording can be performed via "local recording", where camera
images are saved into a CF card, or via the V.Networks Controller, where these are saved into the
hard disk of the PC.
Page 82
☞
1.Start up the "VN-C625U Setup Tool" and select [Recording]. To make new values
effective, click on [Apply], followed by [OK].
● Setting the [Trigger Recording] screen
Select alarm input signal “Trigger” for starting local
recording.

To set the frame rate for local recording, select "Change
the Recording Frame Rate during trigger recording",
followed by selecting the frame rate accordingly.
Default frame rate is set at 10 fps. A frame rate of 10
fps for recording will be used when this box is not
checked. (Set values: 30, 15, 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
Notes
During local recording to CF cards, the frame rate
is also dependent on the performance of the CF
card in use. When the size of each recording file
exceeds 8 MB (equivalent to a frame rate of 30 fps
over a duration of about 8 seconds when the size
of each image is 33 KB), frames may be dropped.
For setting the recording time.
3 This can be set up to 30 seconds before and 60
seconds after the alarm input.
● Setting the [Frame Rate] screen
Cautions
● [Before trigger] and [After trigger] values cannot
be set to "0" at the same time.
●
Due to the memory capacity of VN-C625, recording
time set for [Before trigger] and [After trigger] may
differ from the actual maximum recording time.
(Example)
At a resolution of 640 x 480 (10 fps) when the
size of each image is 40 KB, the actual maximum
recording times are as follows:
Without CF card : 5 seconds before trigger / 10
seconds after trigger - 0
seconds before trigger / 15
seconds after trigger
With CF card
: 20 seconds before trigger / 60
seconds after trigger

• Stop recording until an availability is made in
the CF card.
• Remove old files that have exceeded a
specific number of days. (If the number of
days is set to "0", files will be deleted starting
with the oldest one.)
Cautions
●
When record setting that exceeds the recording
capacity is performed with [Remove old files]
set to "0 days", recorded files will not be retained.
To retain the files, change the value for [Remove
old files] or alter the record settings.
Notes
Recording time
While maximum recording time varies with the recording frame rate and image size, recording over
a specified length of time may not be possible depending on the compression level and object.
Recording files
A trigger-recording file is created each time a trigger occurs. If successive triggers occur over a
continuous period of time, these will be recorded into 1 file.
The maximum size of each recording file id 80 MB. Recording will stop upon exceeding 80 MB.
