Frequently Asked Questions - THC-T120-PS HiLook

How do I switch the video output standard (TVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS)?

Press and hold the switch button on the camera for 5 seconds to cycle through the four video output modes: TVI, AHD, CVI, and CVBS.

Can this camera be used outdoors?

Yes, the THC-T120-PS is suitable for both indoor and outdoor conditions. It is designed for applications such as road, warehouse, underground parking lot, and bar.

What is the minimum illumination required for the camera to capture color images?

The camera can capture color images with as little as 0.01 Lux @ (F1.2, AGC ON). With IR illumination, it works at 0 Lux.

How do I access the OSD menu to adjust settings?

Connect the camera to a TVI DVR and monitor. On the DVR’s PTZ Control interface, click the menu button (☐) or call preset No. 95 to display the camera’s OSD menu. Use direction buttons and Iris+ to navigate.

What is the Smart IR function and how do I set it?

Smart IR adjusts the IR LED intensity to prevent overexposure. In the OSD menu under DAY NIGHT, set INFRARED to ON and adjust SMART IR value from 1 to 3. Higher values produce a stronger effect.

What power supply is required for this camera?

The camera requires a 12 VDC power supply that meets SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) and Limited Power Source standards. Do not connect multiple devices to one adapter.

How do I clean the camera lens?

Use a clean cloth with a small amount of ethanol to gently wipe the lens. Do not touch the sensor module with fingers and avoid exposing the sensor to laser beams.

Can I mount the camera on a wall or ceiling?

Yes, the camera supports both wall and ceiling mounting. Use the supplied drill template and screws. For concrete ceilings, use expansion bolts; for wooden ceilings, use self-tapping screws.

What is the range of the 3-axis adjustment?

The camera offers pan adjustment from 0° to 360°, tilt from 0° to 75° (for turret types) or 0° to 180° (for bullet types), and rotation from 0° to 360°.

What should I do if the camera is not producing an image?

Check that the power supply is connected and the video cable is securely attached. Verify the video output standard matches your DVR. If the issue persists, contact your dealer or service center. Do not attempt to repair the camera yourself.

BRIGHTNESS

Brightness refers to the brightness of the image. You can set the brightness value from 1 to 10 to darken or brighten the image. The higher the value, the brighter the image is.

EXPOSURE MODE

lights (e.g.: incandescent light). The image switches from color to B/W or from B/W to color automacally according to the light condion. You can turn on/o the INFRARED and set the value of SMART IR under SMART 1 or SMART 2 mode.
