turns black-and-white in a dark location. As the  
sensitivity level is increased in this case, the  
screen may appear grainy and more white spots  
may appear. When switching between color and  
black-and-white images, the brighter area on the  
screen is emphasized, which may reduce the  
visibility. However, this is not a malfunction.  
If the power supply voltage is momentarily cut off  
or reduced due to lightning or turning on of the air  
conditioner’s power, the image may be disrupted  
or noise interference may occur.  
As the dome cover is of a semiglobular shape,  
image distortion will occur at the hemispherical  
edge. When the hemispherical edge of this unit is  
masked and horizontal level is shot in a tilt  
direction, the hemispherical edge will enter the  
field angle. This may cause the upper edge of the  
screen to become black and the focus unclear. In  
this case, you can avoid shooting the above area  
Maintenance  
Turn off the power before performing maintenance.  
Wipe using a soft cloth.  
Wiping with thinner or benzene may melt or tarnish  
its surface. For tough stains, wipe using a cloth  
that is dipped into a neutral detergent diluted with  
water, followed by wiping with a dry cloth.  
When the same position is monitored for 24 hours  
continuously over a long period, the increased  
contact resistance on the horizontal rotation  
section may cause noise interferences in the  
images and operation from the computer may  
become unstable. As such, this product is  
equipped with an auto cleaning function that  
performs cleaning once a week.  
by using the tilt limit settings (  
A
Page 70).  
When shooting objects with a luminance  
difference or near a light source, ghost may occur  
on the screen. This is a feature of the dome cover  
and the built-in lens, and is not a malfunction.  
In particular, manual and auto pan operation near  
the TELE edge (telephoto side) may cause the  
screen to vibrate (unsmooth rotation). This is a  
feature of the motor and is not a malfunction.  
As long magnification lens is used in this product,  
the focus may be unclear due to temperature  
changes but this is not a malfunction.  
Saving Energy  
Preset the focus under an environment with a  
temperature closest to that in your actual usage. If  
the temperature change is large and the focus  
becomes unclear, preset the focus again before  
using the product.  
If the camera is not to be used for a long time,  
turn off the power of the system for safety and  
energy conservation reasons.

Power Connection  
Warning  
The rated power of this product is AC 24 V, 50  
Hz/60 Hz. Make sure to use it with the correct  
voltage.  
Power can be supplied to this camera either by  
connecting to an AC 24 V power supply or using  
PoE (A Page 24).  
Supplying a power beyond the rated value  
may result in failures, smoke or fire. If the  
camera breaks down, turn off the power and  
contact our service center immediately.  
When a power beyond the rated value is  
supplied, the internal components may be  
damaged even if no abnormality is found on  
the appearance and operation of the camera.  
Please contact your nearest JVC dealer  
immediately for servicing (charged  
separately).  
Note:  
If power is supplied from both power cable  
and LAN cable, priority will be given to the  
power supply from the power cable.  
Be sure to use an AC 24 V supply that is  
isolated from the primary power supply  
circuit. Using a variable voltage power supply  
will cause the camera and system to  
malfunction or breakdown.  
The unit is to be powered by an AC 24 V  
power supply. The AC 24 V power supply  
should conform to the following: Class 2 only  
(For USA), Isolated power supply only (For  
Europe and others).  
Memo:  
After DHCP timeout, all IP addresses of camera are  
set to 192.168.0.2 by default.  
If the power of multiple cameras within the same LAN  
environment are turned on at the same time, the IP  
addresses of the cameras overlap, thus preventing  
proper access. As such, make sure to turn on the  
power of the cameras one by one.  
In a system where multiple units of camera are used,  
turn on the power of only one unit to configure the IP  
address settings using the Internet Explorer. Upon  
doing so, turn on the power of the second unit and  
configure accordingly. Configure the subsequent  
camera settings using the same procedure.  
When there is an overlap of IP address, access to the  
camera may fail. When this occurs, turn on the power  
of only one camera unit within the same LAN  
environment and wait for a while (at least 10 minutes).  
Alternatively, turn off the power of all network devices  
connected to the same LAN environment, followed by  
turning them on again.  
Connecting to an AC 24 V power supply  
This connects the camera to AC 24 V power.  
Power cable  
To Power Supply  
Note:  
If thin cables are used, the resistance of the cables will  
be high and a significant voltage drop will occur when  
the camera is at its maximum power consumption  
(when pan, tilt and zoom operates at the same time).  
Either use a thick cable with low resistance or place  
the power supply near to the camera and shorten the  
length of the cable to restrict the voltage drop at the  
rated current of the camera to below 10 %. If voltage  
drops during operation, the camera may experience  
unstable performance and be unable to call up the  
preset position correctly.  
Do not connect an AC 24 V cable to AC 110 V/AC 230  
V power supply. The camera internal circuit will be  
damaged. Should that happens, do not use the  
camera. Bring it to your nearest JVC dealer for repair.  
(charged separately)  
Turn on the power only after the connection for all the  
devices is complete.

Power Connection  
Warning  
The rated power of this product is AC 24 V,  
50 Hz/60 Hz. Make sure to use it with the  
correct voltage.  
Supplying a power beyond the rated value  
may result in failures, smoke or fire. If the  
camera breaks down, turn off the power  
and contact our service center  
Power can be supplied to this camera either by  
connecting to an AC 24 V power supply or using  
PoE (A Page 31).  
Note:  
If power is supplied from both power cable  
and LAN cable, priority will be given to the  
power supply from the power cable.  
Be sure to use an AC 24 V supply that is  
isolated from the primary power supply  
circuit. Using a variable voltage power supply  
will cause the camera and system to  
malfunction or breakdown.  
The unit is to be powered by an AC 24 V  
power supply. The AC 24 V power supply  
should conform to the following: Class 2 only  
(For USA), Isolated power supply only (For  
Europe and others).  
immediately.  
When a power beyond the rated value is  
supplied, the internal components may be  
damaged even if no abnormality is found  
on the appearance and operation of the  
camera. Please contact your nearest JVC  
dealer immediately for servicing (charged  
separately).  
Memo:  
After DHCP timeout, all IP addresses of camera are  
set to 192.168.0.2 by default.  
If the power of multiple cameras within the same LAN  
environment are turned on at the same time, the IP  
addresses of the cameras overlap, thus preventing  
proper access. As such, make sure to turn on the  
power of the cameras one by one.  
In a system where multiple units of camera are used,  
turn on the power of only one unit to configure the IP  
address settings using the Internet Explorer. Upon  
doing so, turn on the power of the second unit and  
configure accordingly. Configure the subsequent  
camera settings using the same procedure.  
When overlapping of the IP address occurs, check to  
ensure that there is only one camera unit within the  
same LAN environment, and wait for a while (at least  
10 minutes) or power off and on all network devices  
under the same LAN environment. Otherwise, access  
to the camera may fail.  
Connecting the power cable  
This connects the camera to AC 24 V power.  
Solder welding or  
crimping  
Note:  
If thin cables are used, the resistance of the cables will  
be high and a significant voltage drop will occur when  
the camera is at its maximum power consumption  
(when pan, tilt and zoom operates at the same time).  
Either use a thick cable with low resistance or place the  
power supply near to the camera and shorten the  
length of the cable to restrict the voltage drop at the  
rated current of the camera to below 10 %. If voltage  
drops during operation, the camera may experience  
unstable performance and be unable to call up the  
preset position correctly.  
Do not connect an AC 24 V cable to AC 110 V/AC 230  
V power supply. The camera internal circuit will be  
damaged.  
Should that happens, do not use the camera. Bring it to  
your nearest JVC dealer for repair.

Network Setting  
Bit Rate of JPEG Stream  
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.  
Network Requirements  
Ensure that there is sufficient network  
bandwidth for the data volume to be sent out  
by the camera. Do not send multicast stream  
that exceeds the bandwidth. If the entire  
bandwidth is used by the multicast stream,  
control of this camera via the network may fail.  
Data volume to be sent by the camera varies  
with the settings and number of distributions.  
The maximum bit rate for transmission is about  
20 Mbps.  
AFS (Average File Size)  
When AFS is selected, encoding will be  
performed such that the target file size is the  
average size of multiple JPEG images.  
Selectable between 10 KB Selectable between 3 KB  
to 100 KB  
to 33 KB  
VFS(Variable File Size)  
Estimation of Total Bit Rate  
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.  
The total JPEG bit rate from the camera is  
determined by the camera settings, number of  
clients, and the client’s requested number of  
frames. The total MPEG4 bit rate from the camera  
is determined by the number of distributions.  
Develop a design upon taking the above into  
consideration.

The maximum number of distributions varies with  
the bit rate settings as well as the client’s  
requested frame rate. Up to 20 streams can be  
distributed (including multicast). The total frame  
rate refers to the sum of these frame rates.  
For example, when 10 fps is requested by two  
clients, and in addition, multicast is transmitted at  
a rate of 10 fps, the total frame rate will be:  
10 +10 +10 = 30 fps  
If the JPEG file size per frame is 30 KB, then the  
total bit rate will be:  
30 KB × 30 fps = 900 KB/s = Approx. 7.2

You can select either the Variable Bit Rate (VBR) or  
Constant Bit Rate (CBR) system for MPEG4 stream.  
When the VBR system is selected, the bit rate varies  
according to the condition of the input video signals. The  
VBR system delivers a stable picture quality, but forecast  
of the bit rate is difficult.  
When the CBR system is selected, encoding is performed  
at a fixed bit rate regardless of the condition of the input  
video signals. The picture quality varies under the CBR  
system, but the bit rate can be easily forecast.  
You can specify an estimated bit rate for both VBR and  
CBR. (64 kbps to 8000 kbps)

Restrictions on the Number of Distributions for  
Camera  
The maximum number of distributions for this unit is  
determined by the settings as well as requirements from  
the client.  
When only JPEG images are distributed, the maximum  
number of distributions is determined based on the  
highest bit rate within the stream. When a distribution  
request that exceeds the maximum number of  
distributions is received, this request is denied. For  
example, if Client A requests for and receives data at 1  
Mbps, while Client B requests for and receives data at 5  
Mbps, the maximum number of distributions is 4 streams  
according to the table below.  
When both JPEG and MPEG4 images are  
distributed simultaneously, distribution up to two  
clients for JPEG and MPEG4 respectively is  
possible. However, distribution requests that  
exceed a total bit rate of 20 Mbps will be denied.

List of Protocols and Port Numbers  
Used by this unit  
This unit uses the protocols and port numbers  
listed below. Ensure that these ports are allowed  
through the firewall when a firewall is to be  
installed.  
When the client acquires JPEG via TCP, the  
camera 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. In the case of MPEG4,  
noise interference may occur and playback may  
fail.

Adjustment is disabled for about 1 minute after power ON and during  
Pan/Tilt/Zoom operation.  
Adjustment may not work when the vibration is fast. The effect can be  
small when vibration direction does not match with Pan/Tilt position.  
Depending on the installation environment, the stabilizer may malfunction  
and increase image shaking due to the vibration transmitting to the  
camera. In this case, set the stabilizer to AOffB.  
I Stabilizer Level  
This item allows you to set the adjustment level of the [Stabilizer] item H in 3  
steps.  
The adjustment volume is larger if the value is set to AHighB rather than

Sense Up  
This feature is used to raise the sensitivity level by lengthening the  
exposure time.  
You can specify the number of times by which the sensitivity level is to be  
increased automatically when the object becomes dark. When Ax32B is  
selected, the sensitivity is changed dynamically up to 32 times (as  
compared to the AOffB mode) to fit to current darkness. When sensitivity  
increases, the shutter speed becomes slower and hence, movement  
becomes unnatural. When set to AOffB, Sense Up is disabled.  
[Setting value:Off, x2, x4, x8, x16, x32, x64, x128]  
Memo:  
Upon raising the sensitivity level, the screen may appear grainy or  
white, or white defects may occur. However, this is not a malfunction.  
When [Sense Up] is set to a value other than AOffB, flickers occur under  
the light of fluorescent or mercury lamps. This is not a malfunction of  
the camera, but is due to principles related to Sense Up.  
When the [Shutter Speed] item L is set to A1/100B to A1/10000B, set  
[Sense Up] to AOffB.  
L Shutter Speed  
This item sets the speed of the electronic shutter.  
When [Sense Up] item K is set to Ax2B or above, available setting value is  
A1/60B or A1/100B only.  
[Setting value:1/60,1/100,1/250,1/500,1/1000,1/2000,1/4000,1/10000]  
Memo:  
Flickering of fluorescent lightings can be reduced when the shutter  
speed is set to A1/100B or A1/60B respectively in regions of commercial  
power frequency 50 Hz and 60 Hz.  
The faster the shutter speed is, a smear phenomenon specific to CCD,  
where white bands appear vertically along bright light source, is more  
emphasized.

B FTP  
For setting the FTP environment when AFTPB is specified as an [Action]A  
on the Alarm page. This is common with the FTP environment when using  
the periodic FTP on this page.  
When [Directory] is left blank, FTP transfer will be performed to the home  
directory of the FTP server. To enable FTP transfer to a directory below the  
home directory, set the corresponding directory name in [Directory].  
Delimit the directory using A/B.  
Example: subdir1/subdir2  
Destination directory of FTP transfer will be dependent on the FTP server if  
A/B is added at the beginning.  
Setting [Periodic FTP] to AOnB enables transfer of the latest JPEG images to  
the FTP server at regular intervals. Specify the interval in seconds for  
[Periodic FTP Interval].  
File name: Select a type from the two types of periodic FTP file names.  
When AAutoB is selected, file names are generated from the year, month,  
day, hour, minute, second, and number.  
Example: 20071114161032-001-2.jpg  
When AManualB is selected, you can select a file name generation method  
from the following.  
File name containing only the character string entered in [User-defined-  
name]  
Example: Camera1.jpg  
File name with the year, month, day, hour, minute, and second added to  
[User-defined-name]  
Example: Camera1_20071114161032001.jpg  
The name of the file to be transmitted via FTP is made up of the action  
number, year, month, day, hour, minute, second, number and trigger flag.  
Example: 01-20070711152904-001-0.jpg  
The first two digits are the action number, and the following 14 digits denote  
the year, month, day, hour, minute and second.  
The three digits after the first hyphen is the number of the series of JPEG  
files to be sent via the FTP. The number starts from A000B. The last digit  
denotes the trigger flag. This is displayed as A1B only for the JPEG file during  
a trigger input, and as A0B if otherwise.
