INSTALLATION POSITIONING YOUR CAMERA When installing your camera, it is important to select a proper site not only for field of view, but for other considerations as well: Distance from viewing/recording device. The further the camera is from the DVR or monitor, the higher the chances of signal degradation. Typical 75Ω Video Cable provides acceptable signal at distances up to 200’ (30m). At greater distances, UL-Listed shielded RG59 should be used.
CONNECTING THE CAMERA TO A SECURITY DVR SYSTEM STEP 1. Connect the BNC and power leads from the camera to the matching connectors on one end of the power and video cable. CAMERA CONNECTING THE CAMERA TO A TV OR MONITOR A single camera can be connected directly to a monitor or TV with an RCA input using the included cable and a separately available adapter if needed. CAMERA TV or MONITOR STEP 1.
LENS OPERATION The On Screen Display (OSD) built into your camera allows you to control almost every aspect of how it captures images. Using the built-in menus, you can control brightness, contrast, white balance, shutter speed and other functions. It should be noted that these settings must be made at the camera itself and they cannot be set remotely. When used with a security DVR system, what you see on the screen will be what is recorded - including the OSD menu.
WHITE BALANCE There are seven modes available for determining how your camera processes and displays color: ATW - Automatic Tracking White Balance. This is the default the camera constantly analyses and adjusts to create a neutral white balance. Colors may be slightly underexposed but generally accurate. Several settings can be modified, but the most significant is the Environment setting which adjusts the white balance based on the light source.
MOTION DETECTION DAY/NIGHT MODE Unlike most security cameras, your camera is capable of detecting motion by itself. If you are connecting your camera to a Q-See security DVR, you will not need to enable this feature as the DVR itself has motion detection capabilities. Enabling motion detection on the camera while connected to a security DVR can produce adverse results by obscuring the recorded video or generating artifacts which the DVR will interpret as motion causing it to record unnecessarily.
CAMERA ID You can enter an identifying name for your camera that will appear over the video image if you so choose. This will appear in addition to any similar identification made using a DVR. You can enter two lines of text with up to 26 characters each. Currently, only one such identification field - CHR1 - is supported. To enter text, use the multi-function button to navigate to the desired character and then press the button to enter it and the cursor will advance to the next position in the name.
