Installation and commissioning Instructions • Make sure the power is removed before the installation. • Follow the order for applying power. First connect the low voltage (DC12V or AC24V), then plug the AC adapter to AC outlets to avoid an improper reset from power jitter and a damage from the surge voltage when no load.
Using OSD Controller Setup menu can be accessed and controlled by OSD control joy stick on the rear of the camera unit. Five commands are available with the joy stick. The design of rear panel could be different according to the camera models. Description of the joystick operation 1) SET Key (●) : Access to the menu or enter the setting.

1-6. DAY/NIGHT This function is used to control the setting during day-time and night-time operation. 1-6-1. AUTO AUTO mode in DAY/NIGHT is used only for a camera which does not have a light sensor. Camera switches DAY from/to NIGHT automatically along with the amount of light through the lens.
Page 18
• NIGHT -> DAY (default: 120) NIGHT→DAY is a threshold level which determines to switch from NIGHT to DAY. Lower(Higher) value makes the camera switched from Night to Day at lower (higher) illumination. If it stays in Night(B/W) mode at day time, decrease NIGHT-> DAY threshold value until it just switches to Day * Examine and verify Day/Night operation according to IMPORTANT ACTIVITY 1-6-2.
1-7. IR OPTIMIZER This function is effective built-in LED models in NIGHT mode only. If subjects which can cause overexposure are located near the monitored area, you can adjust IR OPTIMIZER level or area. IR OPTIMIZER SETUP IR LED AUTO AUTO MODE IR AREA...
1-8. LENS SHD COMP (default: OFF) This function is used to caculate the compensation data for lens shading. Convex shape of the lens causes the light to enter the camera unevenly and typically makes the center of the screen brighter than the rest. It is used to compensate for this undesirable effect and make the screen more even.
2-1. BRIGHTNESS (default: 120): Increases or decreases the brightness of the picture. This is different from that of DC iris lens and simply increases or decreases the digital gain of video. Do not increase this too much, the dynamic range for the highlight area will decrease.
