① Terminal Block

Terminal block connections:

Connect wires to the terminal block by: strip the insulation back 12 " from the end of the wire; press in on the upper tab above the lower wire opening; while holding the tab in, insert the wire; release the tab, pull back gently on the wire to lock it in, and the wire should be retained. Nominal 22-24AWG wire recommended; maximum 18AWG wire may be used.

-GND: Ground pin

-D/N Out: Day/Night control output

If the camera will be used to send out a D/N signal as an external D/N control for any other unit, then the D/N mode of that unit can follow the D/N mode of the camera.

When the camera is at Day mode, it will send out a Low level (0V) signal to any external device. When the camera is at Night mode, it will send out a High level (3.3V) signal any external device.

To use this terminal to control D/N operation, set the D/N selection in the OSD menu to EXT (see Section 5.6), so that the camera will follow an external Day/Night signal instead of the internal AGC level to control any color to B/W switching (examples of possible EXT control devices are: an 'external' light level sensor such as the one mounted in the front face of the camera, an auxiliary light sensor mounted external to the camera, or a control voltage applied to the D/N In terminal). If the "D/N In" terminal is used, it will override the signals from the built-in or auxiliary light level sensors and will command the camera into B/W operation when it is switched to a low voltage level (grounded), or into COLOR operation when it is switched to a 3.3V 'high' level; however, if the D/N In terminal is open/'floating', the AUTO operation switchover from color to B/W will be controlled by the light sensor at the front of the camera body. See Section 5.6 for more information.

-Motion: Alarm output for motion detected.

If the alarm output is connected and a motion is detected, not only will the message "MOTION DETECTED" appear on the screen, but the camera also sends out a high level (3.3V) signal at the motion alarm output. If no motion has been detected, a low level (0V) signal is sent out to the motion alarm output.

-RS485-/RS485+: Connect to RS485 for remote control by keyboard or DVR. RS-485 parameters are set in the OSD menu.

⑦ Power LED

⑧ Video Output Connector

Connect the video output of the camera to a DVR or other video device through a 75 Ohm type coaxial cable to the BNC female connector at the rear of the camera.

⑨ Power Input Terminal

Connect 12VDC, 24VAC or 100\~240VAC power. For 12VDC model, please connect to the correct polarity.

⑩ Audio Output Connector (for audio model only).

⑪ Ext. Sensor

If a user wants or needs to change the location of the EXT (that is, external and independent of the camera's internal AGC circuit) light level sensor, they can use an External light sensor to connect to this port. (Note: External light sensor kit is an optional product Part # ETHPES-01GR). When this External sensor port is used, and EXT is selected in the DAY/NIGHT menu, the External sensor will be the default light level sensor. The jack accepts a 1/8" diameter miniature phono type plug.

⑫ DC Auto Iris Lens Connector

This connector is used to connect with the DC type auto iris lens using a standard 4 pin male connector

2. Select the shutter mode by pressing the LEFT or RIGHT button.

Select from x256, x128, x64, x32, x16, x8, x4, x2, 1/60, Auto, FLK, 1/250, 1/500, 1/2000, 1/5000, 1/10000, 1/00000 for NTSC model or x256, x128, x64, x32, x16, x8, x4, x2, 1/50, Auto, FLK, 1/250, 1/500, 1/2000, 1/5000, 1/10000, 1/00000 for PAL model.

FLK: Please select "FLK" mode when flickering occurs on the screen, because of an irregular balance between illumination and frequency. NTSC model: 1/100, PAL model: 1/120.
AUTO: Shutter speed is automatically controlled depending on the brightness of the screen. This option is available when a manual iris lens is selected above.

1. Select RETURN and press the SETUP button when you finish all the settings.

NOTE:

When selecting a DC lens, the shutter speed is fixed as 1/60 for NTSC and 1/50 for PAL.

5.4.2 BRIGHTNESS

Adjust the brightness of the screen (manual lens only). The level can be adjusted from 1 to 100.

5.4.3 AGC (Auto Gain Control – basic low light signal amplification)

1. Please direct the arrow to point to "AGC" by using the UP and DOWN buttons.
2. Select the level you would like to choose by pressing the LEFT or RIGHT button. The more the level of gain increases, the brighter the screen, but the level of noise increases as well. Please select from HIGH, MIDDLE, LOW and OFF. Note: AGC must be on for sense-up low light boost to function.

5.4.4 SENSE-UP

SENSE-UP is used to keep a brilliant, vivid screen image under low light level conditions by automatically compensating for changes in the level of light.

1. Please direct the arrow to point to "SENSE-UP" by using the UP and DOWN buttons.
2. Select the mode you would like to operate by pressing the LEFT or RIGHT button.

→ AUTO: Low light level auto mode.

→ OFF: The function is disabled.

NOTE:

① When SHUTTER is in manual mode, SENSE-UP will be disabled.
② When AGC is turned off, SENSE-UP will be disabled.

1. Press select RETURN and the SETUP button when you finish all the settings.

NOTES:

① The maximum amplification in low light level situations can be adjusted by pressing the SETUP button in "AUTO" mode. This sets an upper limit on the 'boost'.
② The image becomes brighter when the setting increases; however, the after image increases as well. Due to the increased light sensitivity of the Super Had II chip, far less DSP 'boost' is needed, resulting in color or B/W images in low light with minimal ghosting.
③ Please note that spots and noise may appear if light amplification increases when SENSE-UP is operating. This is a normal phenomenon, controllable with DNR.

5.4.5 BLC/BLC

Video gain can be adjusted automatically to correct the exposure of subjects that are in front of a bright light source.

1. Please direct the arrow to point to "BLC" by using the UP and DOWN buttons.
2. Select the BLC mode by pressing the LEFT or RIGHT button. Then make adjustments as below:

GAIN: Select from High, Middle and Low.

DEFAULT: Set the factory default values for BLC.

LEFT/RIGHT: Set the Left/Right side of an area for the BLC to be adjusted. The value adjustable is 0\~6.

WIDTH: Set the width of an area for the BLC to be adjusted. The value adjustable is 0\~6.

5.6 DAY NIGHT

These settings control the operation of the camera when the illumination level changes. Choices are Color at all times; B/W at all times; or color when illumination is bright, switching to B/W in low light.

⇒ B/W: The picture is always displayed in B/W.

BURST: OFF/ON.

ON: Retains the color burst information; minor color noises may appear when ambient illumination is low.

OFF: With color burst signal off, picture will be pure B/W.

Return: Press "RET" to save all settings in the DAY/NIGHT menu and returns to the previous menu.

Press "END" to save all the setting menus and exit.

COLOR: The picture is always displayed in color, even at low light levels.
AUTO: The picture switches to color in a normal (bright) environment and switches to B/W when the ambient illumination is low. The switching point is determined by the AGC level.

Note: AGC selection must be set as middle or high in order to employ the auto switching function.

Delay: Set the switchover delay time from 0\~63 seconds.

S-Level: Set the start level from 0\~100.

E-Level: Set the end level from 0\~100.

EXT: The picture can switch automatically to color in a normal environment and to B/W when the ambient illumination is low based on the illumination reaching a light sensor; or it may be directly controlled by a trigger voltage. The light sensor at the front of the camera body is the default sensor used to detect illumination. However, if an external light sensor is connected, this external sensor will be used to detect the illumination instead. If the "D/N In" terminal is used, it will override the signals from the built-in or auxiliary light level sensors and will command the camera into B/W operation when it is switched to a low voltage level (grounded), or into COLOR operation when it is switched to a 3.3V 'high' level; however, if the D/N In terminal is open/'floating', the AUTO operation switchover from color to B/W will be controlled by the light sensor at the front of the camera body.

5.7 3DNR

3DNR reduces the background noise in a low luminance environment.
