ZIP SEE816 Mini Eyeball 3.6mm 5MP

Introduction

SEE816

• A Midi-sized HD camera with a powerful IR array instead of multiple IRs to help minimize reflection from insects or spider’s webs. Perfect for capturing top-quality, true day-to-night images.
• Featuring 4-in-1 video technology so it is compatible with most CCTV equipment new or old. Set as HD-TVI as the popular default technology, it can also be switched to AHD or the less popular CVI. Handy for upgrades too, it even has an analog output that could be used on old recorders that still need an upgrade to HD.
• The SEE815 is a great midi design ideal when you’re looking for your CCTV system to be more low-key.
• IPP66 and available in black or white with no contrasting lens rim it can seamlessly blend into interior or exterior install, with a choice of sleek and classic black (great for public spaces as it won’t stand out) or contemporary white to blend perfectly into an indoor space.

4-In-1 Technology

• Selectable HD-TVI, HD-CVI, AHD and CVBS (Analogue) Output. The default is set to HD-TVI however the output can be changed to AHD, CVI or CVBS if required.
• This output can be changed either 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.

Key Menu Settings

Exposure Mode – AUTO 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 (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, the switch between color and black & white is controlled by an external trigger In this a light-dependent resistor. Delay can be set which will instruct the camera to wait for a set length of time before switching. This accommodates for any temporary drops in light

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.

Reset – Defaults the camera to factory settings. This setting helps when fault-finding issues with the camera to ensure all settings have defaulted.

Troubleshooting

Camera Rebooting / Turning Off

• Check the voltage of the camera (under load) if below 10.8V then move the power supply closer to the camera.
• For 12V DC cameras only ever use a regulated power supply rated at above 750mA, 1A would be recommended. So that the camera is always receiving the correct supply.
• Use thicker gauge copper cabling to reduce the voltage drop.

Poor Quality Images

• Check the fly lead is set to the correct output – see 4-In-1 Technology
• If set to CVBS, then this is a low-quality video output for legacy systems (Analogue), when using a 2 MegaPixel DVR or above then use another video format, like HD-TV.
• Reset the camera menu via Zip Coaxitron – OSD Menu
• Check if your recorder supports the resolution of the camera.

The image is Black & White

• Check the video format your DVR supports, then set the camera to the relevant video format – see the 4-In-1 Technology
• Reset the camera menu via Zip Coaxitron OSD Menu
• Check the recorder supports the resolution of the camera.

NCD / No Image Displayed on Recorder

• Test that the camera has the correct voltage supplying it, this must be done with the camera connected so that there is load on the PSU. A 12V DC camera should have at least 10.5V DC connected to it.
• The camera can not function without the correct power supply. For 12V DC cameras only ever use regulated power supplies to ensure that the camera is always receiving the correct voltage.
• Ensure that the BNC – BNC lead that is connected between the camera and DVR has no shorts or open circuits.

General Maintenance

• Ensure that nothing is obscuring the field of view, and position the camera to ensure the Lens can see clearly.
• Routinely clean the camera to prevent dust build-up as this can affect the performance of the camera. We recommend a damp non-abrasive microfibre cloth.
• Check that the cameras are firmly attached.
• Check playback in the recorder to ensure the camera is recording properly.
