Operating Precautions  
VN-C11 designed for indoor use. For outdoor use, prepare a proper housing to cover and protect  
the camera.  
The product should not be installed or used in the following locations.  
• Locations subject to rain or water.  
• Locations with hot air or oil vapors such as in kitchens, etc.  
• Locations where the allowed ambient temperature (0 °C to 40 °C) is exceeded.  
• Locations exposed to X-ray radiation or where strong electrical or magnetic waves are gener-  
ated.  
• Locations where corrosive gas is generated.  
• Locations with vibrations.  
• Locations with excessive dust.  
If VN-C11 and the cables connected to VN-C11 are installed at a location where strong electrical  
or magnetic waves are generated, near a radio, TV set, transformer, motor etc., the quality of  
image and color may be affected.  
If a high-intensity object (such as a lamp) is shot, the image on the screen may have vertical lines  
(smear) or blur (blooming) at its periphery.This is a characteristic of the CCD, and is not a defect.  
Clean the unit with the power turned off. Use a soft cloth like cotton flannel to wipe out dirt. Do not  
use paint thinner or benzine as a cleaning agent as this may cause melting or tarnishing of the  
unit surface. If dirt is persistent, use a cloth soaked with water-diluted mild detergent and then  
wipe it with a dry cloth.  
Because the cable holders of the terminals could come loose, perform cable connection carefully  
and securely.  
Insufficient dissipation of heat from the unit may cause damage. Use the unit at a well-ventilated  
location. In particular, do not block the unit’s cooling-fan ventilation opening.  
In a narrowband environment, for example, of dial-up connection, smooth running of MPEG4  
images cannot be obtained. This is due to the product design, therefore not a defect.  
When this product is installed in an NAT environment, MPEG4 images cannot be viewed. This is  
due to the product design, therefore not a defect. (This product uses a network protocol called  
RTP for transmitting MPEG4 images. Generally, an NAT router cannot carry out NAT translation  
of RTP packets properly.)  
Certain hubs and switches equipped with SNMP functions have a broadcast or multicast control  
function. If the function is enabled, multicast images created by this product may not be viewed  
properly.  
To save electricity, turn off the power to the system when not in use.  
As local recording images are saved to the volatile memory of the product, the images are  
deleted if the power is turned off.

Preparations (Step 3 Adjusting the Camera)  
Back-focus Adjustment  
At the factory, back-focus is set at the point for the widest range of use for  
CS-mount. However, it is necessary to readjust back focus if a zoom or C-mount  
lens is used or if focus cannot be attained using the focus ring of the lens. To  
adjust, follow the procedures described below.  
In order to adjust back-focus appropriately, use the iris adjustment function and an ND filter to re-  
lease the lens iris before proceeding with the adjustment. (An ND filter acts to reduce the overall  
amount of light entering the lens equally over all wavelengths.)  
Connect the MONITOR OUT terminal on the rear panel to the monitorTV.To adjust,  
follow the procedures described below.  
<For a fixed-focus lens>

Operations (Step 6 Operations with a Web Browser)  
It is possible to view still/moving images and perform various settings via not only  
the provided [Controller] software but via a Web browser as well.  
However, note that MPEG4 files cannot be viewed with a browser. Also, the browser  
does not support the image inversion function.  
Required Operating Environment  
The following environment is required for viewing and operating VN-C11 with a Web browser.  
It is necessary for the PC to satisfy the technical requirements described in this  
instruction manual (Page 6).  
The PC must also satisfy the following Web browser conditions:  
• A Web browser compatible with JavaScript and frame, that is, Netscape Ver. 4.x or Internet  
Explorer Vers. 4.x, 5.x and 6.x.  
• For the recommended CPU performance and required memory capacity, refer to theWeb browser  
in use.  
For smooth display of large-screen moving images, specifications much better than those rec-  
ommended are necessary.  
Images from the camera will not be displayed properly in the 256-color mode.  
• For Internet Explorer, an environment where Java can be properly run (Microsoft VM) is re-  
quired.  
LAN Environment  
• VN-C11 can work as a web server that uses HTTP. Access linkage using a host name is pos-  
sible if the environment supports DNS (Domain Name System).  
• A direct connection of VN-C11 to a PC is possible using a cross-over cable. (Though rare,  
certain LAN boards do not allow the use of a cross-over cable. Be sure to check your LAN  
board.)
