injury or death. injury or material
damage.

Warnings

1. In the use of the product, you must be strict compliance with the
electrical safety regulations of the nation and region.

2. Input voltage should meet both the SELV(Safety Extra Low Voltage)
and the Limited Power Source with AC 24V or DC 12V according to
the IEC60950－1 standard. Please refer to technical specifications for
detail information.
3. Do not connect several devices to one power adapter as adapter
overload may cause over-heat or fire hazard.
4. Please make sure that the plug is firmly connected on the power
socket.
5. When the product is mounted on wall or ceiling, the device shall be
firmly fixed.
6. If smoke, odor or noise rise from the device, turn off the power at
once and unplug the power cable, and then please contact the
service center.
7. If the product does not work properly, please contact your dealer or

3
the nearest service center. Never attempt to disassemble the

problems caused by unauthorized repair or maintenance.)

4
 Cautions：
1. Make sure the power supply voltage is correct before using the
camera.
2. Do not drop the camera or subject it to physical shock.
3. Do not touch CCD (Charge Coupled Device) modules with fingers.
If cleaning is necessary, use clean cloth with a bit of ethanol and
wipe it gently. If the camera will not be used for an extended period,
please turn on the lens cap to protect the CCD from dirt.
4. Do not aim the camera at the sun or extra bright places. A
blooming or smear may occur otherwise (which is not a malfunction
however), and affecting the endurance of CCD at the same time.
5. The CCD may be burned out by a laser beam, so when any laser
equipment is on using, make sure that the surface of CCD will not be
exposed to the laser beam.
6. Do not place the camera in extremely hot, cold(the operating
temperature shall be－10℃～＋60℃ ), dusty or damp locations, and
do not expose it to high electromagnetism radiation.
7. To avoid heat accumulation, good ventilation is required for
operating environment.
8. Keep the camera away from liquid while on using.
9. While on a delivery, the camera shall be packed in its original
packing, or packing of the same texture.
10. Regular part replacement: a few parts (e.g. electrolytic capacitor)
of the equipment shall be replaced regularly according to their
average enduring time. The average time varies because of
differences between operating environment and using history, so
regular checking is recommended for all the users. Please contact
with your dealer for more details.

1.1 Product Features
This series of the camera adopt high performance sensor and advanced print circuit
board design technology with high resolution, low distortion and low noise, etc. The key
features as following:
• Adopt high performance SONY CCD, and supply high definition and clear image
• Low illumination (Please refer to the specifications for details)
• Support ICR filter auto switch (Invalid for DS-2CC191P(N)-A(-C))
• Support high light suppression to get a clearer image in the vicinity of the strong light.
(Only DS-2CC176P(N)-A(-C) and DS-2CC178 P(N)-A (-C) available)
• Support OSD menu controlling, enable user to configure the detail parameters. (Invalid
for DS-2CC191 P(N)-A(-C))
• Adopt advanced stepping motor and sleep mode to avoid ICR oscillation. (Invalid for
DS-2CC191 P(N)-A(-C))
• Support BLC with programmable BLC area. (BLC area of DS-2CC191P(N)-A(-C) is
unconfigurable)
• Support auto white balance with high color rendition.
• High SNR give rise to clear and pleased image.
• Support auto electronic shutter control to adapt to different environments.
• Support auto gain control, adaptive brightness.
• Support auto iris.
• Support Privacy mask with 8 optional colors and 8 configurable areas. (Invalid for
DS-2CC191 P(N)-A(-C))
• Advanced design technology with high reliability.
• Advanced 3-axis mechanism design meet different mounting requirement by flexibly
adjusting the lens into the required angle (Only Dome camera support).
• Convenient back focus adjustment.
• Adopt advanced double-plate design to guarantee the CCD heat dissipation and
image quality.

1.2 Chief Introduction about Function

Motion Detection: In the surveillance area, the appearing motion object will trigger alarm.
User can select suitable sensitivity level with corresponding environment.
Privacy Mask: In the surveillance area, user can cover some place to protect other’s
privacy. The number of privacy mask area is up to 8.

2
Color B/W auto switch: The camera will display color image and become monochrome
automatically at night.
AGC: When object being shot look dim, please turn on AGC. It is propitious to enhance
brightness. To output standard video under different illumination, the range of auto gain
control must be large enough. When under low illumination, AGC will increase camera’s
sensitivity, and output bright and clear video.
S/N ratio: It is the ratio of Signal voltage and noise voltage. The ratio is larger, the effect of
noise is less, and the image is more spotless.
OSD (On Screen Display): The camera supports friendly menu interface on the screen, and
it’s convenient for user selecting expected function.
3-axis adjustment: Adopt advanced 3-axis mechanism design meet different mounting
requirement by flexibly adjusting the lens into the required angle.
Synchronous System: Synchronization usually contains power synchronization and
internal synchronization. Internal synchronization uses synchronous signal which is
generated by camera’s crystal oscillator to complete synchronous scan. Power
synchronization uses synchronous signal which is generated by camera’s adaptor to
complete synchronous scan.
White Balance: Because the camera could not adjust the color temperature according to
the light alteration as the eyes, that will cause color deviation. White balance is the white
rendition ability of the camera to adjust the problem according to the environment
automatically.
ICR Auto Switch: The filter will filter infrared light during the daytime and change to normal
filter at night to ensure a high sensitivity and clear image.
BLC: If there is glaring light in the background of the object being shot, the object will
look very dim. In this situation, turning on BLC function will make the object look bright and
clear, but the background scene will be overexposure.

 BLC OFF BLC ON

High light suppression: Distinguish glare point and take suppression effect automatically.
This function is in order to see the image around glare point more clearly.

Chapter 2 Installation

8
Before mounting, please make sure that the device in the package is in good condition
and all the assembly parts are complete.

2.1 Box Camera Installation

Note: The lens weight must be less than the 1kg CS assembly. After installation the plane
the outshoot must be less than 5mm. When using the C assembly lens, please adopt C to
assemble the adapter.

There are two mounting methods for box camera: wall mounting, ceiling mounting, which
depends on the demand of the customers. Please stick to the following steps (take ceiling
mounting for example, wall mounting steps are the same).
1. Select the mounting method, and mount camera bracket according to the mounting
method. For cement wall, first you need to mount expansion screw (the mounting holes
of it needs to be the same with bracket), then mount the bracket, shown as figure 2.1.
For the woodiness wall, then skip the first step, and mount the bracket with self-tapping
screw. Please note that the mounting wall needs to sustain the weight 3 times heavier
than the sum weight of camera and bracket.

Figure 2.1 1 Install the mounting bracket

2. Mounting the camera. Screw the camera in the bracket by using the mount base at
the top of camera.

9
 Fig. 2.1.2 Install the camera
3. Adjust the camera and move it to the monitoring point, and screw down the knob in
the bracket, fix the camera.
4. Screw the lens into the head of the camera, adjust the focus, and fasten the lens.

2.2 Dome Camera Installation

Note: Take Vandal-Proof Dome camera for example:

1 ． Loosen the set screws with a

hexagonal screw driver (attached
with the camera), and take down
the back box shown as below:
(No need for normal dome camera
to use hexagonal screw driver)

2. Use the screws to fix the

bottom board on the ceiling.

3. There is RCA analog
video output for
testing and MENU
buttons for
configuration.

4. While viewing the video on

the monitor, adjust the
camera’s view angle for your
need.

5. Tighten the set screws, and

install the back box.
