Introduction  
Characteristics  
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.  
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.  
JVC will not be liable for any damage resulting  
from the camera dropping due to incomplete  
installation by not following the installation  
instructions. Take caution when performing  
installation.  
Before starting an important recording, be sure  
to perform a test recording in order to confirm  
that a normal recording is possible.  
We do not accept liability for the loss of a  
recording in the case of it becoming impossible  
to record due to a problem in the video camera,  
VCR or video tape.  
We do not accept liability for any damage to  
the camera in cases when it is dropped  
because of incomplete installation due to not  
observing the installation instructions correctly.  
Please be careful when installing the camera.  
The camera uses a high-resolution  
380,000 pixel, high-Senstivity CCD to realize  
high picture quality with horizontal resolution  
of 540 TV lines.  
Motion Detection Feature  
Enables output of alarm upon detecting  
motion of images within a specified area.  
Frame Rate  
Supports a maximum frame rate of 30 fps  
when resolution is 640 x 480 in the JPEG  
compression format.  
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.  
Built-in Web Server  
Enables browsing using the Internet Explorer.  
Supports Multicast  
Support for multicast enables sending of an  
image data to multiple PCs on the network  
at one time without lowering the frame rate.  
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.  
Read Me  
Please read through the "Read Me" file in the  
CD-ROM together with this instruction  
manual.  
Operating Precautions

To save energy, turn off the power supply of  
the system when not in use.  
This camera is intended for indoor use. It  
cannot be used outdoors.

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.  
Do not point the camera lens at a strong light  
source such as the sun.Doing so may cause  
the camera to malfunction.  
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.

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.  
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 or VLAN with a multicast  
control function.  
following locations.  
• Places exposed to rain or water  
• Places containing vapor or oil soot, such  
as kitchens  
Do not touch the dome cover with your hand.  
This may dirty the cover and cause the image  
quality to deteriorate.

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).  
• Do so upon turning off the power.  
˚
˚)  
• 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.  
• 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  
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.  
Warning  
Install at places that are strong enough  
to support the camera weight.  
If the D/N switch is turned on, the mode  
changes automatically to black and white in  
dark places.As the sensitivity increases, the  
image may look grainy and white spots may  
appear. When changing modes, bright  
portions of image may be emphasized but  
this is not a failure of the camera.  
Insufficient ventilation may cause the camera  
to malfunction. Be careful not to block  
ventilation around the camera.  
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.  
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. 1.0 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.  
This camera radiates heat from its surfaces  
(top panel facing ceiling and side panel). Do  
not install at a location that may trap heat,  
such as near the walls.  
The unit is to be powered by a DC 12 V or an  
AC 24 V power supply.  
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.  
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 AC 24 V power supply should conform to  
the following :Class 2 only (For USA), Isolated  
power supply only (For Europe).  
The rating label is displayed on the underside  
of the body.

• If thin cables are used (i.e. with a high resistance), a significant voltage drop will occur when  
the unit is at its maximum power consumption. Either use a thick cable to restrict the voltage  
drop at the camera side to below 10%, or place the power supply near to the camera. If  
voltage drop occurs during operation, the performance will be unstable.  
• Do not allow input from both a DC 12 V and AC 24 V power supply at the same time.  
• When using a DC 12 V power supply, ensure that the polarities of the cable are correct.  
• The AC 24 V power supply should conform to the following:

Connecting multiple VN-C205 Cameras  
In a system where more than 1VN-C205 is used, turn on the power for aVN-C205 first, followed  
by setting the camera until "2-3 Setting IP Address for this Camera Using the 'VN-C205U 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-C205 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.  
Tighten the tilt lock screws.

Image inclination  
(adjustable range: 15°)  
Manipulate the rotation levers to adjust  
the inclination of the image.  
• When IP address redundancy occurs, ensure that only one VN-C205 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-C205.

The white-spot correction feature of this unit does not guarantee the correction of all white spots.  
Depending on the characteristic of white spots, correction may not be possible.  
• When performing white-spot correction, accurate data may not be achieved in case of highly  
detailed pixels since correction is made using the information of surrounding pixels.  
• The result of white-spot correction is maintained until the next correction is performed.

When there is intensive motion throughout the  
entire screen, lengthening the time interval will  
help to prevent false detection.  
(Set value: 0 to 3)  
Notes  
The area display position only serves as a guide. Ensure to perform operation check.  
Each screen is divided into 300 (20x15) blocks. Adjust the zoom ratio of the lens such that the  
object for which motion is to be detected is at least the size of multiple blocks.  
Cautions  
Flickering lights may cause false detections in motion when the camera is connected.  
When brightness varies due to the use of the auto iris function or lighting conditions, this may  
be detected as motion. In this case, it is recommended that the detection time be set to a  
value other than "0".  
Note that the motion detection function is not designed to prevent theft or fire. It may not  
function properly under certain object or setting conditions. We shall not be responsible for  
any accident or losses incurred.

To set the frame rate for local recording, select  
2 "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)

Setting of compression level is possible when this is set to "OFF",  
and images will be sent out at the specified compression level.  
The smaller the value, the lower the compression level and hence  
a higher image quality. However, data volume will also increase.  
Set Value: 1 to 7  
Setting of bit rate is possible when this is set to "ON", and the  
compression level of images will be automatically adjusted ac-  
cording to the specified bit rate before they are sent out.  
Set value: 32 kbps to 8 Mbps  
Note  
The actual number of frames received and displayed per second is dependent on factors such  
as PC performance, compression level of images and the LAN environment.  
In the case of a LAN environment where multiple operations are being performed at one time  
(particularly when the network traffic is heavy), reduce the number of frames to be transmitted.  
ON  
Note  
Caution  
• It will be necessary to establish connection again upon  
setting to enable display at the correct frame rate.

Unless a correct Administrator level password is entered, password settings cannot be undone  
or changed. Please make sure that you do not forget the password.  
If passwords are only set for the User and Operator levels and not for the Administrator level,  
password entry will not be requested.  
Cautions  
When the IP address, subnet mask, host name or HTTP port settings are changed, a  
confirmation screen indicating "Are you sure to reset to enable the changes?" will appear.  
Upon clicking [OK] on this confirmation screen, VN-C205 will be reset internally and settings  
such as the IP address will be changed.The IP address before change (factory setting) will be  
disabled and connection to VN-C205 will be cut off upon the reset operation.  
When the web browser is left unoperated for some time, a message will appear indicating that  
connection cannot be established. This is due to the change in the IP address. (The same  
message will also appear when the port number is changed.)  
The actual number of frames transmitted and displayed per second are affected by the PC  
performance, web browser type as well as the LAN environment. When there is a possibility  
of communication failure with other user operations (particularly in an environment where  
network traffic is relatively heavy), set [Frame Rate] to a small value.  
Ensure to set [Frame Rate] according to the number of simultaneous access to VN-C205.  
Display of web pages and move/button operations may not function properly if the processing  
capacity of the camera is exceeded.

Output images of VN-C205 can be pasted onto a separately created web page.  
Images (still and motion) captured using VN-C205 can also be incorporated and displayed on a  
user-created web page.  
Symptom  
Causes/Remedial Actions  
Forgotten the VN-C205 IP  
address that was changed using  
the "VN-C205U Setup Tool".  
Use the "Search" function in the "VN-C205U Setup Tool"  
to view the list of IP addresses for cameras connected to  
the network. (

Displaying a still image:  
Still images can be displayed by creating a web page containing the following:  
Unable to record.  
Has the folder for saving images been deleted?  
Check to ensure that the folder exists. (  
Is the hard disk of your PC full?

<IMG SRC="http://  
(Enter URL of VN-C205 in "  
******  
/still.jpg">  
")  
******  
Check the available hard disk space on your PC and delete  
unwanted files.  
Displaying a motion image:  
Motion images can be displayed by creating a web page containing the following:  
A long time is required to cancel  
an action when the "Connecting  
..." message is displayed.  
Once the connection is activated, it cannot be canceled  
within a few seconds.  
<APPLET CODE="mjpeg.class" WIDTH=640 HEIGHT=480 CodeBase="http://******/"></APPLET>

Color is unsatisfactory.  
Check the color adjustments of the monitor and video card.  
Is the color setting of your PC screen set to High Color  
(16 bits) or lower?  
Displaying still images uploaded to the /user folder:  
Still images in the /user folder can be displayed by creating a web page containing the following:  
If this is so, change it to True Color (24 bits) or higher. It  
will be difficult to achieve display of natural color tones  
using a setting that is lower than this.  
<IMG SRC ="/user/xxxxx">  
(xxxxx refers to the file name of the still image)  
Adjust the White Balance.  
Adjust White Balance manually by switching the White  
Balance Automatic/Manual switch to MANU.  
Notes  
(
Page 11)  
Both still and motion images are displayed according to the preset image size and compression  
level values.  
If Java is disabled in the web browser, images may not be displayed properly.  
When shooting scenes with different light sources (e.g.  
when alternately shooting outdoor scenes under the  
sunlight and indoor scenes under a fluorescent light), Auto  
White Balance may take some time to function. Hue may  
differ slightly according to different objects, but this is not  
a malfunction.  
If a password has been set, password authentication will be necessary before display of  
motion images using Java is made possible. (This is an Internet Explorer restriction.)  
Ensure that the "WIDTH" and "HEIGHT" values are identical to the image size set in VN-C205.  
Image size and quality changes  
automatically.  
When a VN-C205 is connected to multiple PCs, priority  
will be given to the PC for whichVN-C205 operation /setting  
is last performed.  
Connection to VN-C205 cannot  
be established or gets cut off.  
When the network is loaded with frequent broadcasting  
or collisions, connection may not be established or may  
be cut off when errors occur with the network.  
Check the network status.  
Unable to perform camera  
control or settings acquired are  
incorrect for a span of about 60  
seconds after turning on the  
power.  
About 60 seconds are required for initialization of the  
camera to complete upon turning on the power.  
To perform camera control or acquire settings, do so by  
allowing an interval of at least 60 seconds after turning on  
the power.
