Thank you for purchasing i3 International's Am57 High Definition indoor/
outdoor analog dome camera. Your camera is equipped with a motorized vari-
focal 2.8-12mm @ F1.2 lens. The lens can be controlled through cameras'
built-in OSD menu via SRX-Pro Server/VPC, or through i3 encoders and
standalone HVRs (Veo16p).
SAFETY
When installing your Am57 camera be sure to avoid:
• excessive heat, such as direct sunlight or heating appliances
contaminants such as dust and smoke
•
strong magnetic fields
•
moisture and humidity
•
• areas with mechanical vibrations
• fluorescent lamps or objects that reflect light and unstable light sources
• temperatures below -40°C (-40°F) and above 60°C (140°F)
CLEANING & SERVICING
For maximum optical clarity, the camera dome or lens must remain clean.
Use a soft, dry cloth to remove finger prints or dust from the dome cover.
Use a blower to remove dust from the lens.

HIGH DEFINITION ANALOG VIDEO SUPPORT
Your Am57 camera supports both the standard composite analog video stream
(CVBS, 720x480) and a high-definition TVI video stream (HD-TVI = 2MP). Both
streams are supported simultaneously as long as the on-board dip switch is set to
CVBS position.
IMPORTANT: In order to use high-definition video, your Am57 camera must
be connected to i3's video encoder or standalone DVR. To record camera's
HD-TVI stream (2MP) to SRX-Pro Server, connect the camera's gray BNC cable
connector (labeled 2MP) to i3's encoder or standalone DVR. If connecting directly
to the HVR's BNC panel, use the black BNC cable connector (720x480).
SERVICE MONITOR OUTPUT
To use the service monitor to adjust zoom and focus for the motorized varifocal
lens during installation, use the 2-pin connector on the camera board to connect
the service monitor. Set the WDR/CVBS dip-switch to CVBS (True WDR will be
disabled). If using HD-TVI video output, make sure to return the dip-switch to WDR
position before completing the installation.
CVBS SPOT MONITOR OUTPUT
To use the CVBS stream for the spot monitor output, set the WDR/CVBS dip-switch
to CVBS, then connect the camera's black BNC cable (labeled 720x480) directly to
the spot monitor.
Note: True WDR and OSD menu are not available in CVBS mode.
