Camera-07

Connect an Ethernet cable (category 5e or better, straight) to RJ45 network cable.

  • First pass the Ethernet cable through the RJ45 waterproof connector cap (accessory) and then through the RJ45 waterproof connector cover (accessory). Next, use a specialized tool (locally procured) to crimp the RJ45 plug (locally procured) to the end of the Ethernet cable.
  • Take care not to remove the rubber parts from inside the RJ45 waterproof connector cover.
  • Insert the RJ45 plug into the RJ45 waterproof jack connected to the camera.
  • Connect the RJ45 waterproof connector cover to the RJ45 waterproof jack and then rotate the RJ45 waterproof connector cover until the “⇦” marks align.
  • Connect the RJ45 waterproof connector cap to the RJ45 waterproof connector cover and rotate the RJ45 waterproof connector cap until there is no gap between it and the RJ45 waterproof connector cover.

IMPORTANT:

  • The external dimensions of the Ethernet cable are from ø5 mm {ø3/16 inches} to ø6.5 mm {ø1/4 inches}.
  • If the procedure for the RJ45 waterproof connector (accessory) part is not correctly followed, the waterproofing may be compromised. Do not install the camera where the RJ45 waterproof connector is exposed to constant rain or moisture.
  • When removing the RJ45 waterproof connector, be sure to loosen the RJ45 waterproof connector cap first, rotate the RJ45 waterproof connector cover in the direction opposite to the attaching direction, and remove it. (If the RJ45 waterproof connector cover is removed when the “⇦” mark of the RJ45 waterproof connector cover is aligned with the “▶” mark of the RJ45 waterproof jack, the RJ45 waterproof jack may be damaged)i-PRO-WV-S3531L-Network-Camera-08

S3532 S3512
Connect an Ethernet cable (category 5e or better, straight) to M12 (female) network cable.

  • Insert the M12 plug into the M12 Network cable connected to the camera.
  • Tightly fasten the connector by rotating both rings in opposite directions i-PRO-WV-i-PRO-WV-S3531L-Network-Camera-09S3531L-Network-Camera-09

Mount the camera

Adjustment

Adjust the camera’s angle of view

  • Adjust the horizontal (PAN) angle by pinching the side parts of the camera unit (A).

  • Adjust the azimuth (YAW) angle and vertical (TILT) angle.
    A Loosen the TILT/YAW fixing screw.
    IMPORTANT:
    TILT/YAW fixing screw can be effective by loosening it about 1 turn. Do not unscrew it more than necessary.

  • Adjust the azimuth (YAW) angle and vertical (TILT) angle by pinching the outside parts of the lens unit (B).

  • Fix each part by tightening the TILT/YAW fixing screw. Recommended tightening torque: 0.2 N·m {0.15 lbf·ft}

i-PRO-WV-S3531L-Network-Camera-12

i-PRO-WV-S3531L-Network-Camera-13

IMPORTANT:

  • When adjusting the camera angle, do not touch the lens.

Note:

  • When the camera is installed on a wall, the gradient viewed from the camera is backwards. Images displayed from the camera can be reversed by setting “Image rotation” to “180°
    (Upside-down)” in the setup menu. For information about configuring “Image rotation” in the setup menu, refer to the Operating Instructions on our support website.
    Depending on the horizontal / vertical angle, the top, bottom, left, or right ends of the camera may be visible.

  • Use Extra zoom when you want to adjust the angular field of view on the “Tele” side. For information about configuring “Extra zoom”, refer to the Operating Instructions on our support website.

    • When VGA (640×480) or a lower resolution is selected, the angular field of view can be adjusted without deterioration in the image quality.
    • When a resolution higher than VGA is used, image quality may deteriorate depending on the zoom rate of the Extra zoom.
  • When a strong light shines on the front of the camera, part of the lens may be reflected on the inside of the dome cover and be visible in images. Adjust the camera angle so that there are no reflections.
    When viewing images at night using IR LED, parts of the screen may be dark if the TILT is 75° or more (Azimuth (YAW) angle : 0°, factory setting position).
    For image example and detail information, refer to our website
