Connections & Dipswitches
The camera has a 2.1mm socket which requires 12V DC and uses a regulated power
supply rated above the current draw of the camera.
The camera is polarity sensitive so connections must be correctly made.
The camera has a standard BNC connector for the 4-in-1 video output, the
output can be changed to AHD, CVI, or CVBS if required.
Dipswitch 4-In-1 Technology
Selectable HD-TVI, HD-CVI, AHD, and CVBS (Analogue) Output. By default the
camera is set to HD-TVI, however, the output can be changed to AHD, CVI, or
CVBS if required.
This output can be changed with the dip switches on the fly-lead of the
camera. Please note the “Output Mode” in the menu of the DVR won’t change the
format, as the dip switch overrides the output.
The dip switch configuration can be found below:-

7.2 Key Menu Settings
Exposure Mode – AUTO / GLOBE / GLOBAL sets the required shutter speed for
the current light level. The shutter speed will automatically detect the
required length of time to keep the digital sensor exposed to light. FLK
option sets the shutter speed to stop synchronization with lighting so that
the pulsing effect is minimized.
White Balance – Colour adjustment of the camera to be set up so objects
appear a natural color. ATW / PRO (Automatic tracking white balance)
continually tracks and adjusts the white balance, making it suitable for use
in cameras in which the image content and lighting are subject to changes.
Day & Night – The camera can be set to color or B&W mode or have it
automatically switch External is set as default, and the switch between color
and black & white is controlled by an external trigger In this a light-
dependent resistor.
DNR (Noice Reduction) – Noise Reduction is the process of removing noise
from the video signal by applying a digital filter. 2D noise reduction reduces
noise in the foreground of the image whereas 3D noise reduction reduces noise
in both the foreground and the background of the image.
D-WDR – Digitally adjusts the exposure in areas of the frame to maintain
optimum levels in both the dark and bright areas of an image.
NOTE – Some models may not have a D-WDR function.
Reset – Defaults the camera to factory settings. This setting helps when
fault-finding issues with the camera to ensure all settings default.
Troubleshooting
8.1 Camera Rebooting / Turning Off
A. Check the voltage to the camera (under load) using a digital multi-meter,
if below 10.8V then move the power supply closer to the camera.
B. For 12V DC cameras, only use a regulated power supply rated above the
current consumption, so that the camera is always receiving the correct supply
which is rated above the current consumption.
C. Use thicker gauge copper cabling to reduce the voltage drop to the camera,
using a thicker cable will reduce the resistance between the camera and the
power supply and therefore reduce the voltage dropped along the cable.
8.2 Poor Quality Images
A. Check the video format of the DVR (digital video recorder), then set the
camera to the relevant video format – see the 4-In-1 Technology
B. If set to CVBS, then this is a low-quality video output for legacy systems
(analog – CVBS), when using a 2 MegaPixel DVR or above then use another video
format, like HD-TV.
C. Reset the camera menu via Zip Coaxitron – OSD
Menu
D. Check if the DVR (digital video recorder) supports the resolution of the
camera.
8.3 Image is Black & White
A. Check the video format your DVR supports, then set the camera to the
relevant video format – see the 4-In-1 Technology
B. Reset the camera menu via Zip Coaxitron OSD
Menu
D. Check if the DVR (digital video recorder) supports the resolution of the
camera.
8.4 NCD / No Image Displayed on Recorder
A. Check the voltage to the camera (under load) using a digital multi-meter,
if below 10.8V then move the power supply closer to the camera.
B. For 12V DC cameras, only use a regulated power supply rated above the
current consumption, so that the camera is always receiving the correct supply
which is rated above the current consumption.
C. Use thicker gauge copper cabling to reduce the voltage drop to the camera,
using a thicker cable will reduce the resistance between the camera and the
power supply and therefore reduce the voltage dropped along the cable.
D. Ensure that the BNC – BNC lead that is connected between the camera and DVR
has no shorts between the ground and the center core (positive) or open
circuits along with the center core (positive) or open circuits along the
ground.
General Maintenance
Routinely clean the camera to prevent dust build-up as this can affect the
performance of the camera. It is recommended to use a damp non-abrasive
microfibre cloth.
Routinely check the connections for power and data to ensure no water ingress
and corrosion.
Check that the cameras are firmly attached to the wall or mounting bracket.
Check playback in the recorder to ensure the camera is recording and
triggering properly.
