INITIAL SET button (Initializing / NTSCPAL switch button)
● How to initialize the camera
Follow the steps below to initialize the network camera.
q   T urn off the power of the camera. When using a PoE hub, disconnect the LAN cable from the camera. 
When using an external power supply, disconnect the 2P power cable plug from the camera.
w   T urn on the power of the camera while holding down the INITIAL SET button, and keep the INITIAL 
SET button held down till the SD MOUNT indicator is lit in green (more than 10 seconds). In 
about 2 minutes after releasing the INITIAL SET button, the camera will start up and the settings 
including the network settings will be initialized.
IMPORTANT:
  ● When the camera is initialized, the settings including the network settings will be initial-
ized. Note that the CRT key (SSL encryption key) used for the HTTPS protocol will not be 
initialized.
  ● Before initializing the settings, it is recommended to write down the settings in advance.
  ● Do not turn off the power of the camera during the process of initialization. Otherwise, it 
may fail to initialize and may cause malfunction.
●  W hen the INITIAL SET button (i.e. the initializing button) is pressed (less than 1 second) to 
switch the output signal of the MONITOR OUT terminal (NTSCPAL output), the MONITOR

Note:
  ● Lighting/blinking LED can be turned off with the software settings at any time. (The initial 
state  is  lighting  or  blinking.)  Set  the  LED  to  be  solid  off  if  necessary,  depending  on  the 
installation conditions. (☞ Operating instructions included in the CD-ROM)
Making connections
Turn off each system's power supply before making a connection. Before making connections, 
prepare the required peripheral devices and cables.
Connect a LAN cable to the RJ45 (female) network cable
* Use a LAN cable (category 5e or better, 8 pins, straight).
IMPORTANT:
  ● Use all 4 pairs (8 pins) of the LAN cable (category 5e or better, straight).
  ● The maximum cable length is 100 m {328 feet}.
  ● Make sure that the PoE device in use is compliant with IEEE802.3af standard.
  ● When connecting both the 12 V DC power supply and the PoE device for power sup-
ply, 12 V DC will be used for power supply*.
* If a 12 V DC power supply and a PoE hub or router are used at the same time, net-
work connections may not be possible. In this case, disable the PoE settings. 
Refer to the operating instructions of the PoE hub or router in use.
* In the situation where a 12 V DC power supply and a PoE hub or router are used at the 
same time and the 12 V DC power supply is then disconnected, the power supply may 
be stopped and the camera may restart depending on the PoE hub or router used.
  ● When the LAN cable is disconnected once, reconnect the cable after around 2 seconds. 
Zoom knob
When the cable is quickly reconnected, the power may not be supplied from the PoE device.
  ● When cables are used outdoors, there is a chance that they may be affected by lightning. 
In this case, install a lightning arrester just before where the cables connect to the camera.

Waterproof treatment for the cable joint sections
Adequate waterproof treatment is required for the cables when installing the camera with cables 
exposed or installing it under the eaves. The camera body is waterproof, but the cable ends are 
not waterproof.
Be sure to use the supplied waterproof tape at the points where the cables are connected to ap-
ply waterproof treatment in the following procedure. Failure to observe this or use of a tape other 
than the Ⓚ waterproof tape (accessory) (such as a vinyl tape) may cause water leakage resulting 
in malfunction.

in the same way.
  ● Stretch the tape by approx. twice (see the illustration) 
and wind it around the cable. Insufficient tape stretch 
causes insufficient waterproofing.
  ● To prevent the LAN cable hook from coming loose 
easily, fit the Ⓙ LAN connector cover (accessory) 
onto the pigtail cable as illustrated, and then slide it in 
the direction indicated by the arrow. 
The connector of the LAN cable used with this cam-
era must meet the following restrictions. 
Height when inserted (From bottom to hook.):  
Max. 16 mm {5/8 inches} 
Connector width: Max. 14 mm {9/16 inches}
  ● To install this product outdoors, be sure to waterproof 
the cables. Waterproof grade (IEC IP66 or equivalent) is 
applied to this product only when it is installed correctly 
as described in these operating instructions and appro-
priate waterproof treatment is applied. The internal parts 
of Ⓑ base brackets (accessory) are not waterproofed.
