■Allowable operating temperature

VN-V685U/VN-V686BU -10		°C to 50°C
VN-V686WPBU
	AC 24 V power supply -40	°C to 50°C
	PoE power supply -10	°C to 50°C

- When power is supplied to VN-V686WPBU using PoE, the heater will not work. Use an AC 24 V power supply when using the camera in an environment under -10°C.

- When using VN-V686WPBU in a low temperature environment (-40°C to -20°C), images may not be displayed for up to two hours until the interior is warmed up by the built-in heater. It is therefore recommended that power be supplied to the camera at all times when the surrounding temperature is low. Inadequate heat ventilation may result in malfunction

of this product. Be sure not to block vents around the product. This product discharges heat from the surface of the main unit.

• Do not install it at locations directly subjected to cold air such as near the vents of air-conditioners or at locations with high temperature. Condensation may occur inside the dome cover.
• Use of this product and cables connected to this product at locations where strong electric waves and magnetic waves are generated (e.g., near radio, TV, transformer, monitor, etc.) may cause noise interferences in the images or changes in the color.

Others

• Do not subject the lens to strong light source such as sun rays. This may cause the equipment to malfunction.
  ● This camera comes with a built-in AGC circuit. The sensitivity increases automatically at a dark place and the screen may appear grainy. This is not a malfunction.
  ● While AGC is activated, if a transceiver which causes strong electromagnetic wave is used near the camera, the picture may suffer from beat. Please use the camera more than three meters away from such transceivers.
• When automatic iris is selected, the Iris Control button may not work depending on the brightness of the screen (when the amount of light is not sufficient). In this case, set the iris to Manual.
• When automatic iris is selected and AGC is ON, even if the iris setting can be changed with the Iris Control button, the Sense Up function will be enabled and the brightness of the screen may not change. In this case, set AGC to OFF or set the iris to Manual.
• When this camera is used in the White Balance "ATW-Narrow", "ATW-Wide" (automatic adjustment) mode, the color tone may differ slightly from the actual color due to the principle of the automatic tracking white balance circuit. This is not a malfunction.
• If a high brightness object (such as a lamp) is shot, the image on the screen may have white vertical tailings. This phenomenon (smear) is characteristic of solid-state image sensors and is not a malfunction.
• Do not touch the dome cover with your hands. Dirty covers will cause image deterioration.
• Do not subject the dome cover to strong impact. It may result in damage and water seepage.
  ● The dome cover may fog up due to the drastic change of temperature when humidity is high.
• Do not connect an AC 24 V cable to AC 110 V/AC 230 V power supply. The camera internal circuit will be damaged. Should that happens, do not use the camera. Bring it to your nearest JVC dealer for repair. (charged separately)
  ● To supply AC 24 V, use an AC 24 V supplying power unit that is insulated from AC 110 V/AC 230 V line.

Precautions (continued)

Others (continued)

• Depending on the stop position and rotation speed of the horizontal/vertical rotation platform, the running sound of the rotation platforms motor may be heard, but this is not a malfunction.
• When using multicast, make use of a IGMPv2-compliant network switch.
• Some hubs/switches of products that are equipped with intelligent features may include a broadcast/multicast suppression function. Viewing of multicast images on this product may fail if this function is enabled.
  ● The electronic shutter of this product is set to 1/60 by default. For regions with a commercial power supply frequency of 50 Hz, switch to the 1/100 during use under fluorescent lights (excluding inverter lighting equipment) to prevent flickers.
• When the B&W mode is set to “Auto”, the image turns black-and-white in a dark location. As the sensitivity level is increased in this case, the screen may appear grainy and more white spots may appear. When switching between color and black-and-white images, the brighter area on the screen is emphasized, which may reduce the visibility. However, this is not a malfunction.
• If the power supply voltage is momentarily cut off or reduced due to lightning or turning on of the air conditioner's power, the image may be disrupted or noise interference may occur.
• As the dome cover is of a semiglobular shape, image distortion will occur at the hemispherical edge. When the hemispherical edge of this unit is masked and horizontal level is shot in a tilt direction, the hemispherical edge will enter the field angle. This may cause the upper edge of the screen to become black and the focus unclear. In this case, you can avoid shooting the above area by using the tilt limit settings (Page 70).
• When shooting objects with a luminance difference or near a light source, ghost may occur on the screen. This is a feature of the dome cover and the built-in lens, and is not a malfunction.
• In particular, manual and auto pan operation near the TELE edge (telephoto side) may cause the screen to vibrate (unsmooth rotation). This is a feature of the motor and is not a malfunction.
  ● As long magnification lens is used in this product, the focus may be unclear due to temperature changes but this is not a malfunction.
• Preset the focus under an environment with a temperature closest to that in your actual usage. If the temperature change is large and the focus becomes unclear, preset the focus again before using the product.

- If you sense that the focus has become unclear due to temperature changes, use the Auto Foucuα(AF) function or reset the focus manually.

Transporting the unit

• Remove the connecting cables when transporting the unit.
• When transporting the unit, turn off the power of the system.
  ● Pack the unit with cushioning material so as to avoid shock when transporting.

  ●Data volume to be sent by the camera varies with the settings and number of distributions.
  ●The maximum bit rate for transmission is about 20 Mbps.

Estimation of Total Bit Rate

The total JPEG bit rate from the camera is determined by the camera settings, number of clients, and the client's requested number of frames. The total MPEG4 bit rate from the camera is determined by the number of distributions. Develop a design upon taking the above into consideration.

Bit Rate of JPEG Stream

The JPEG file size per frame varies with the encoding settings as well as input video signals. The following table may be used as a reference.

■AFS (Average File Size)

When AFS is selected, encoding will be performed such that the target file size is the average size of multiple JPEG images.

Selectable between 10 KB to 100 KB

Selectable between 3 KB to 33 KB

■VFS(Variable File Size)

When VFS is selected, the quantization table during JPEG encoding will be maintained, and the file size will increase/decrease according to the input signals.

The maximum number of distributions varies with the bit rate settings as well as the client's requested frame rate. Up to 20 streams can be distributed (including multicast). The total frame rate refers to the sum of these frame rates. For example, when 10 fps is requested by two clients, and in addition, multicast is transmitted at a rate of 10 fps, the total frame rate will be:

1 0 + 1 0 + 1 0 = 3 0 fps

If the JPEG file size per frame is 30 KB, then the total bit rate will be:

3 0 KB × 3 0 fps = 9 0 0 KB/s = Approx. 7. 2 Mbps

Network Requirements (continued)

Bit Rate of MPEG4 Stream

You can select either the Variable Bit Rate (VBR) or Constant Bit Rate (CBR) system for MPEG4 stream. When the VBR system is selected, the bit rate varies according to the condition of the input video signals. The VBR system delivers a stable picture quality, but forecast of the bit rate is difficult. When the CBR system is selected, encoding is performed at a fixed bit rate regardless of the condition of the input video signals. The picture quality varies under the CBR system, but the bit rate can be easily forecast. You can specify an estimated bit rate for both VBR and CBR. (64 kbps to 8000 kbps)

Restrictions on the Number of Distributions for Camera

The maximum number of distributions for this unit is determined by the settings as well as requirements from the client.

When only JPEG images are distributed, the maximum number of distributions is determined based on the highest bit rate within the stream. When a distribution request that exceeds the maximum number of distributions is received, this request is denied. For example, if Client A requests for and receives data at 1 Mbps, while Client B requests for and receives data at 5 Mbps, the maximum number of distributions is 4 streams according to the table below.

Maximum number of distributions when only JPEG data is distributed

Distribution at maximum bit rate	Maximum number of distributions	Total maximum bit rate
1 Mbps and below	20 20 Mbps
5 Mbps and below	4 20 Mbps
10 Mbps and below	2 20 Mbps
Larger than 10 Mbps	1 Maximum configurable value (24 Mbps)

When only MPEG4 images are distributed, the maximum number of distributions is determined by the preset bit rate. When a distribution request that exceeds the maximum number of distributions is received, this request is denied.

When distributing only MPEG4 data

Preset bit rate	Maximum number of distributions	Total maximum bit rate
0.6 Mbps and below	20 12 Mbps
3 Mbps and below	4 12 Mbps
6 Mbps and below	2 12 Mbps
Larger than 6 Mbps	1 Maximum configurable value (8 Mbps)

When both JPEG and MPEG4 images are distributed simultaneously, distribution up to two clients for JPEG and MPEG4 respectively is possible. However, distribution requests that exceed a total bit rate of 20 Mbps will be denied.

Total bit rate	Maximum number of distributions for JPEG	Maximum number of distributions for MPEG4
20 Mbps and below	2	2

Insufficient network bandwidth

When there is insufficient bandwidth, the number of JPEG frames (frame rate) that the client can acquire will decrease. Delay will also occur in the distribution of images. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.

Network Delay

When the client acquires JPEG via TCP, the camera will send out data while checking the ACK from the client at the same time. For networks with considerable delay, data cannot be sent out until ACK is received, and therefore the frame rate will drop. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.

Decrease in the frame rate due to network delays can be eliminated by receiving data via multicast.

Network Jitter

When there is considerable network jitter, delay time may be prolonged and the image frame rate may drop. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.

Packet Loss

When acquiring images from this unit via TCP, packet loss may be recovered by TCP retransmission. When there is considerable delay in the network, however, missing data may occur and the image frame rate may drop. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.

When packet loss occurs during multicast sending from this unit, the image frame rate may drop. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.

When recording JPEG data to a recorder with a limited storage capacity, note that the maximum recording time may vary as the file size fluctuates under this setting.When “AFS” is selected, encoding is performed such that the target file size is the average size of multiple JPEG images. You can enter the target size in the [Size] field.[Size field setting range for VGA: 10KB to 100KB (Only when setting “AFS”)][Size field setting range for QVGA: 3KB to 33KB (Only when setting “AFS”)]
MPEG4
3 Bitrate For setting the MPEG4 encoding bit rate.[Setting range:64kbps to 8000kbps]
4 Bitrate Control	For selecting whether to set the MPEG4 rate control mode to CBR (Constant Bit Rate) or VBR (Variable Bit Rate).CBR : Encoding is performed at a fixed bit rate regardless of the condition of the input video signals. Enables easy forecast of the bit rate.VBR : Changes the bit rate according to the condition of the input video signals. Picture quality is stable, but forecast of the bit rate is difficult.
5 FPS For setting the MPEG4 frame rate.[Setting range:1 fps, 7.5 fps, 10 fps, 15 fps, 25 fps, 30 fps]
6 I Frame Interval	For setting the I-frame interval. MPEG4 starts encoding from the I-frame. Shortening the interval stabilizes the picture quality even when there are rapid changes in the video image. However, the picture quality for images with little change will deteriorate. In addition, when multicast packet loss occurs, the time interval required to restore the image is shorter.[Setting value:30, 60, 90, 120, 150]
7 Priority	For selecting whether to assign priority to the frame rate or picture quality during MPEG4 encoding.FPS : Assigns priority to frame rate. Select this setting to enable smooth monitoring of motion images.Quality : Prioritizes image quality.Memo:Valid when [Bitrate Control] 4 is “CBR”. When a very small bit rate is set for the frame rate or frame size, “CBR” or “VBR” will become the lowest images and a difference will appear in the frame rate. “Quality” which skips frames will be able to realize small bit rates better than “FPS”.
