For PoE++ power
Installation

・Does the PoE++ (IEEE802.3bt compliant) power supply and Ethernet cable of this equipment have a connection?


・Check if it is connected.


・Some power supply devices that can connect multiple PoE++ terminal devices will not supply power if the total power supply exceeds the limit.


・Refer to the instruction manual for the PoE++ power supply.


The camera does not face the position set.
The camera may be out of orientation from the set position.
The position is corrected when position refresh is executed. When position refresh is set with the schedule function, the camera direction deviation can be corrected periodically. In some cases, reset the preset position.
User Manual
Moving the preset in an environment below -40 °C may cause displacement.
PT can be improved by limiting the maximum panning/tilting speed.
Eg, Maximum panning/tilting speed 50°/s
User Manual
Camera stops during PAN/TILT operation and machine sounds.
The camera may have been misaligned.
In the [Initialization] tabs of the Advanced menus, refresh the positions.
User Manual
Automatically rotate the camera
Noise may have an effect.
Check for external noise.
User Manual
Position refresh operation may be performed automatically to increase the position accuracy of PAN, TILT, and ZOOM at low temperature startup. However, this is not a failure.


The LINK lamp does not illuminate orange when the network cable is connected.

・Is the Ethernet cable connected correctly to the machine?


・Connect the Ethernet cable properly.



・Is the hub or router to which the machine is connected working correctly?


・Check that your hub or router is working correctly.


・Is the Ethernet cable connected to the machine broken?


・Replace with another Ethernet cable.


Camera operation noise is too loud.
This is improved by adjusting the camera operation speed.
Decrease the camera speed.

Generate noise in the audio input
The following may be considered.
If the peripheral is not improved, use a microphone with an amplifier or connect an audio output with low output impedance.
Installation

・The grounding of the camera, switching hub, and peripheral equipment is not grounded.


・Power lines, etc. are connected nearby.


・There are equipment that generates strong electric and magnetic fields in the vicinity (such as television and radio transmission antennas, air conditioner motors, power transformers, etc.).


In rainy weather, the Dome covers are covered with rain grains and are visible on the image, making it difficult to see the site conditions.
The effectiveness of the rain wash coating may have been reduced.
(ClearSight coating models only*)
Refer to “4.1 Cleaning of Dome cover” in “4. Clean up” and clean the dome cover. 
If the condition does not improve, contact your dealer.
(ClearSight coating models only*)

Removal of rain particles on the Dome covers may help.
Execute the Active ClearSight function to remove rain grains from the Dome covers easily.
Incorrect auto focus (AF)
The focus may not be adjusted automatically in the following locations or object.
Adjust the focus manually from the top of the software screen.

・There is a big move.


・Large variation in illumination intensity


・Low illuminance


・Be extremely bright or reflective


・Over windows


・Locations where the Dome covers are prone to contamination.


・White walls and other light and darkness are low.

Impact on image/image quality
Image quality may deteriorate or the image may be difficult to see under the installation conditions below.
-
When raindrops adhere to the Dome covers during rainfall
-
When snow adheres to the Dome covers due to wind during snow accumulation (the degree of snow adherence depends on the amount of snow fall and the snow quality)
-
Contamination of the Dome covers due to airborne dust or automotive exhaust
Do not apply strong shocks to the Dome covers.
Otherwise damage or flooding can result.
Using in low temperature environments
This product is equipped with an internal heater unit for use in cold climates.
The heater unit turns on automatically when the temperature inside the product drops below around -10 °C {14 °F}.
When this product is installed and operated in low temperatures below –20 °C {–4 °F}, it may require time to start up since the camera will wait to be warmed up internally by the internal heater right after the power is turned on.
Also, the camera may not function properly, if it is installed and operated in an environment where the temperature is below –25 °C{–13 °F}. In such a case, wait approximately 2 hours or more until the camera is warmed up. Then, turn on the power again.
As the camera warms up, snow or frost accumulated on the dome cover will melt. However, it may not be defrosted from the cover depending on the ambient temperature or weather condition.
When "WARMING UP-PLEASE WAIT" is displayed on the screen during use
The inside temperature of this product is low. Wait for the interior to warm up before this product restarts automatically. Please wait for a while.
Do not touch the Dome covers.
If dirty, image quality may deteriorate.
Advanced ClearSight Coating
Due to the ClearSight Coating effects of the Dome covers, water drop may easily accumulate directly beneath the covers, and some of the images may be distorted.

About the Active ClearSight function
Images may be affected by raindrops on the Dome of the unit. In this case, it is possible to remove rain droplets by clicking the button on the screen and moving the horizontal (PAN) angle and the vertical (TILT) angle of the camera quickly. After removing the rain drops, the camera automatically performs position refresh to return to the original operation. This function removes raindrops easily and does not completely eliminate the raindrops in the Dome. During use of this function (approximately 20 seconds), PTZ operations will be disabled, camera images will be blurred vigorously, and the camera will emit an operation sound. Therefore, be careful not to record video or sound.
Batteries
The battery is built into this product. Do not leave the battery in an environment exposed to excessive heat from sunlight or fire.
If this product is no longer in use, do not leave it unattended and must be removed.
Consumables
The following parts are consumables. Replace the watch with a new one based on the life time. The lifetime varies depending on the operating environment and conditions. The life time is a rough guide when used at +35 °C.
-
Lens, PAN motor, TILT motor, slip ring, TILT cable: About 3.7 million cycles (about 20,000 hours)
*
If the set position movement operation is continued for a long time, dust may accumulate on the slip ring. Position refresh can be prevented by periodically (about once a week) by setting a schedule.
For information about the slip ring of this product, refer to our technical information website <Control No.: C0125>.
Lens/turntable
If the lens or the pan-tilt turntable is not operated for a long period of time, the viscosity of the grease applied to the inside may increase and the product may not move. Move the lens or pan-tilt rotating table periodically or refresh the position periodically.
Installation place
The camera has heavy salt damage resistance treatment applied, but this does not ensure complete resistance against corrosion. 
Please pay attention to the installation location such as in places where seawater does not splash directly.
Especially when installing this product in coastal areas and area that are sprayed with snow-melting agent that are not exposed to rainwater, periodically clean by rinsing to remove adhered salt.
Periodically inspect the camera when installing it in coastal areas or areas that are sprayed with snow-melting agent. (Replace parts as necessary.)
Prepare the foundation of the installation site, installation support, and any other installation setting with heavy salt damage resistance treatment.
