PoE power supply

-10I to 50I

● When power is supplied to VN-V686WPBU using
PoE, the heater will not work. Use an AC 24 V
power supply when using the camera in an
environment under -10I.
䢇 When using VN-V686WPBU in a low temperature
environment (-40I to -20I), images may not be
displayed for up to two hours until the interior is
warmed up by the built-in heater. It is therefore
recommended that power be supplied to the camera
at all times when the surrounding temperature is low.
Inadequate heat ventilation may result in malfunction

of this product. Be sure not to block vents around the
product. This product discharges heat from the
surface of the main unit.
䢇 Do not install it at locations directly subjected to cold
air such as near the vents of air-conditioners or at
locations with high temperature. Condensation may
occur inside the dome cover.
䢇 Use of this product and cables connected to this
product at locations where strong electric waves and
magnetic waves are generated (e.g., near radio, TV,
transformer, monitor, etc.) may cause noise
interferences in the images or changes in the color.

Others
䢇 Do not subject the lens to strong light source such as
sun rays. This may cause the equipment to
malfunction.
䢇 This camera comes with a built-in AGC circuit. The
sensitivity increases automatically at a dark place
and the screen may appear grainy. This is not a
malfunction.
䢇 While AGC is activated, if a transceiver which causes
strong electromagnetic wave is used near the
camera, the picture may suffer from beat. Please use
the camera more than three meters away from such
transceivers.
䢇 When automatic iris is selected, the Iris Control
button may not work depending on the brightness of
the screen (when the amount of light is not sufficient).
In this case, set the iris to Manual.
䢇 When automatic iris is selected and AGC is ON, even
if the iris setting can be changed with the Iris Control
button, the Sense Up function will be enabled and the
brightness of the screen may not change. In this
case, set AGC to OFF or set the iris to Manual.
䢇 When this camera is used in the White Balance
AATW-NarrowB, AATW-WideB (automatic adjustment)
mode, the color tone may differ slightly from the
actual color due to the principle of the automatic
tracking white balance circuit. This is not a
malfunction.
䢇 If a high brightness object (such as a lamp) is shot,
the image on the screen may have white vertical
tailings. This phenomenon (smear) is characteristic of
solid-state image sensors and is not a malfunction.
䢇 Do not touch the dome cover with your hands. Dirty
covers will cause image deterioration.
䢇 Do not subject the dome cover to strong impact. It
may result in damage and water seepage.
䢇 The dome cover may fog up due to the drastic change
of temperature when humidity is high.
䢇 Do not connect an AC 24 V cable to AC 110 V/AC
230 V power supply. The camera internal circuit will
be damaged. Should that happens, do not use the
camera. Bring it to your nearest JVC dealer for repair.
(charged separately)
䢇 To supply AC 24 V, use an AC 24 V supplying power
unit that is insulated from AC 110 V/AC 230 V line.

Getting Started

Precautions (continued)

Others (continued)
䢇 Depending on the stop position and rotation speed of
the horizontal/vertical rotation platform, the running
sound of the rotation platformfs motor may be heard,
but this is not a malfunction.
䢇 When using multicast, make use of a IGMPv2compliant network switch.
䢇 Some hubs/switches of products that are equipped
with intelligent features may include a broadcast/
multicast suppression function. Viewing of
multicast images on this product may fail if this
function is enabled.
䢇 The electronic shutter of this product is set to 1/60
by default. For regions with a commercial power
supply frequency of 50 Hz, switch to the 1/100
during use under fluorescent lights (excluding
inverter lighting equipment) to prevent flickers.
䢇 When the B&W mode is set to AAutoB, the image
turns black-and-white in a dark location. As the
sensitivity level is increased in this case, the
screen may appear grainy and more white spots
may appear. When switching between color and
black-and-white images, the brighter area on the
screen is emphasized, which may reduce the
visibility. However, this is not a malfunction.
䢇 If the power supply voltage is momentarily cut off
or reduced due to lightning or turning on of the air
conditioner’s power, the image may be disrupted
or noise interference may occur.
䢇 As the dome cover is of a semiglobular shape,
image distortion will occur at the hemispherical
edge. When the hemispherical edge of this unit is
masked and horizontal level is shot in a tilt
direction, the hemispherical edge will enter the
field angle. This may cause the upper edge of the
screen to become black and the focus unclear. In
this case, you can avoid shooting the above area
by using the tilt limit settings (A Page 70).
䢇 When shooting objects with a luminance
difference or near a light source, ghost may occur
on the screen. This is a feature of the dome cover
and the built-in lens, and is not a malfunction.
䢇 In particular, manual and auto pan operation near
the TELE edge (telephoto side) may cause the
screen to vibrate (unsmooth rotation). This is a
feature of the motor and is not a malfunction.
䢇 As long magnification lens is used in this product,
the focus may be unclear due to temperature
changes but this is not a malfunction.
䢇 Preset the focus under an environment with a
temperature closest to that in your actual usage. If
the temperature change is large and the focus
becomes unclear, preset the focus again before
using the product.

䢇 If you sense that the focus has become unclear
due to temperature changes, use the Auto
Foucua(AF) function or reset the focus
manually.

Transporting the unit
䢇 Remove the connecting cables when transporting
the unit.
䢇 When transporting the unit, turn off the power of
the system.
䢇 Pack the unit with cushioning material so as to
avoid shock when transporting.
䢇 Handle the unit with care and do not subject it to
vibration or shock.

Copyright Protection
䢇 With the exception of the user being the
copyright holder or when permission such as for
duplication has been granted by the copyright
holder, permission is required in principle for the
duplication, modification, or transmission of
copyrighted video and audio data.
Unauthorized duplication, modification, or
transmission of copyrighted material may
constitute a copyright infringement, and the
user may be liable to compensate for any
damages. When using copyrighted video/audio
data, be sure to check the license agreement of
the copyrighted material thoroughly.
When rights or rights holders are involved with
regard to the targeted duplicating subject,
permission may be required for shooting or
using (processing) it. Be sure to check the
licensing conditions thoroughly.

Maintenance
䢇 Turn off the power before performing maintenance.
䢇 Wipe using a soft cloth.
Wiping with thinner or benzene may melt or tarnish
its surface. For tough stains, wipe using a cloth
that is dipped into a neutral detergent diluted with
water, followed by wiping with a dry cloth.
䢇 When the same position is monitored for 24 hours
continuously over a long period, the increased
contact resistance on the horizontal rotation
section may cause noise interferences in the
images and operation from the computer may
become unstable. As such, this product is
equipped with an auto cleaning function that
performs cleaning once a week.

Saving Energy
䢇 If the camera is not to be used for a long time,
turn off the power of the system for safety and
energy conservation reasons.

Memo:
● After DHCP timeout, all IP addresses of camera are
set to 192.168.0.2 by default.
If the power of multiple cameras within the same LAN
environment are turned on at the same time, the IP
addresses of the cameras overlap, thus preventing
proper access. As such, make sure to turn on the
power of the cameras one by one.
● In a system where multiple units of camera are used,
turn on the power of only one unit to configure the IP
address settings using the Internet Explorer. Upon
doing so, turn on the power of the second unit and
configure accordingly. Configure the subsequent
camera settings using the same procedure.
● When there is an overlap of IP address, access to the
camera may fail. When this occurs, turn on the power
of only one camera unit within the same LAN
environment and wait for a while (at least 10 minutes).
Alternatively, turn off the power of all network devices
connected to the same LAN environment, followed by
turning them on again.
Note:
● If thin cables are used, the resistance of the cables will
be high and a significant voltage drop will occur when
the camera is at its maximum power consumption
(when pan, tilt and zoom operates at the same time).
Either use a thick cable with low resistance or place
the power supply near to the camera and shorten the
length of the cable to restrict the voltage drop at the
rated current of the camera to below 10 %. If voltage
drops during operation, the camera may experience
unstable performance and be unable to call up the
preset position correctly.
● Do not connect an AC 24 V cable to AC 110 V/AC 230
V power supply. The camera internal circuit will be
damaged. Should that happens, do not use the
camera. Bring it to your nearest JVC dealer for repair.
(charged separately)
● Turn on the power only after the connection for all the
devices is complete.
● After the power is turned on and activation is
completed, this product will move to the home
position. The default home position settings for pan,
tilt, and zoom are 1.00 °, 45 °, and x1 respectively.

Power Connection

Warning

Power can be supplied to this camera either by
connecting to an AC 24 V power supply or using
PoE (A Page 31).
Note:
● If power is supplied from both power cable
and LAN cable, priority will be given to the
power supply from the power cable.
● Be sure to use an AC 24 V supply that is
isolated from the primary power supply
circuit. Using a variable voltage power supply
will cause the camera and system to
malfunction or breakdown.
● The unit is to be powered by an AC 24 V
power supply. The AC 24 V power supply
should conform to the following: Class 2 only
(For USA), Isolated power supply only (For
Europe and others).

● The rated power of this product is AC 24 V,
50 Hz/60 Hz. Make sure to use it with the
correct voltage.
● Supplying a power beyond the rated value
may result in failures, smoke or fire. If the
camera breaks down, turn off the power
and contact our service center
immediately.
● When a power beyond the rated value is
supplied, the internal components may be
damaged even if no abnormality is found
on the appearance and operation of the
camera. Please contact your nearest JVC
dealer immediately for servicing (charged
separately).
Memo:
● After DHCP timeout, all IP addresses of camera are
set to 192.168.0.2 by default.
If the power of multiple cameras within the same LAN
environment are turned on at the same time, the IP
addresses of the cameras overlap, thus preventing
proper access. As such, make sure to turn on the
power of the cameras one by one.
● In a system where multiple units of camera are used,
turn on the power of only one unit to configure the IP
address settings using the Internet Explorer. Upon
doing so, turn on the power of the second unit and
configure accordingly. Configure the subsequent
camera settings using the same procedure.
● When overlapping of the IP address occurs, check to
ensure that there is only one camera unit within the
same LAN environment, and wait for a while (at least
10 minutes) or power off and on all network devices
under the same LAN environment. Otherwise, access
to the camera may fail.
Note:
● If thin cables are used, the resistance of the cables will
be high and a significant voltage drop will occur when
the camera is at its maximum power consumption
(when pan, tilt and zoom operates at the same time).
Either use a thick cable with low resistance or place the
power supply near to the camera and shorten the
length of the cable to restrict the voltage drop at the
rated current of the camera to below 10 %. If voltage
drops during operation, the camera may experience
unstable performance and be unable to call up the
preset position correctly.
● Do not connect an AC 24 V cable to AC 110 V/AC 230
V power supply. The camera internal circuit will be
damaged.
● Should that happens, do not use the camera. Bring it to
your nearest JVC dealer for repair.
● Turn on the power only after the connection for all the
devices is complete.
● After the power is turned on and activation is
completed, this product will move to the home position.

Network Setting

Network Requirements
● Ensure that there is sufficient network
bandwidth for the data volume to be sent out
by the camera. Do not send multicast stream
that exceeds the bandwidth. If the entire
bandwidth is used by the multicast stream,
control of this camera via the network may fail.
● Data volume to be sent by the camera varies
with the settings and number of distributions.
● The maximum bit rate for transmission is about
20 Mbps.

Estimation of Total Bit Rate

Bit Rate of JPEG Stream
The JPEG file size per frame varies with the
encoding settings as well as input video signals.
The following table may be used as a reference.

䡵 AFS (Average File Size)
When AFS is selected, encoding will be
performed such that the target file size is the
average size of multiple JPEG images.
Selectable between 10 KB
to 100 KB

Selectable between 3 KB
to 33 KB

䡵 VFS(Variable File Size)
When VFS is selected, the quantization table
during JPEG encoding will be maintained,
and the file size will increase/decrease
according to the input signals.

The total JPEG bit rate from the camera is
determined by the camera settings, number of
clients, and the client’s requested number of
frames. The total MPEG4 bit rate from the camera
is determined by the number of distributions.
Develop a design upon taking the above into
consideration.

The maximum number of distributions varies with
the bit rate settings as well as the client’s
requested frame rate. Up to 20 streams can be
distributed (including multicast). The total frame
rate refers to the sum of these frame rates.
For example, when 10 fps is requested by two
clients, and in addition, multicast is transmitted at
a rate of 10 fps, the total frame rate will be:

10 +10 +10 = 30 fps
If the JPEG file size per frame is 30 KB, then the
total bit rate will be:
30 KB × 30 fps = 900 KB/s = Approx. 7.2
Mbps

Network Setting

Network Requirements
(continued)
Bit Rate of MPEG4 Stream
You can select either the Variable Bit Rate (VBR) or
Constant Bit Rate (CBR) system for MPEG4 stream.
When the VBR system is selected, the bit rate varies
according to the condition of the input video signals. The
VBR system delivers a stable picture quality, but forecast
of the bit rate is difficult.
When the CBR system is selected, encoding is performed
at a fixed bit rate regardless of the condition of the input
video signals. The picture quality varies under the CBR
system, but the bit rate can be easily forecast.
You can specify an estimated bit rate for both VBR and
CBR. (64 kbps to 8000 kbps)

Restrictions on the Number of Distributions for
Camera
The maximum number of distributions for this unit is
determined by the settings as well as requirements from
the client.
When only JPEG images are distributed, the maximum
number of distributions is determined based on the
highest bit rate within the stream. When a distribution
request that exceeds the maximum number of
distributions is received, this request is denied. For
example, if Client A requests for and receives data at 1
Mbps, while Client B requests for and receives data at 5
Mbps, the maximum number of distributions is 4 streams
according to the table below.

Insufficient network bandwidth
When there is insufficient bandwidth, the number of
JPEG frames (frame rate) that the client can acquire will
decrease. Delay will also occur in the distribution of
images. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may
occur and playback may fail.

Network Delay
When the client acquires JPEG via TCP, the
camera will send out data while checking the
ACK from the client at the same time. For
networks with considerable delay, data cannot
be sent out until ACK is received, and therefore
the frame rate will drop. In the case of MPEG4,
noise interference may occur and playback may
fail.
Decrease in the frame rate due to network
delays can be eliminated by receiving data via
multicast.

You can specify the number of times by which the sensitivity level is to be
increased automatically when the object becomes dark. When Ax32B is
selected, the sensitivity is changed dynamically up to 32 times (as
compared to the AOffB mode) to fit to current darkness. When sensitivity
increases, the shutter speed becomes slower and hence, movement
becomes unnatural. When set to AOffB, Sense Up is disabled.
[Setting value:Off, x2, x4, x8, x16, x32, x64, x128]
Memo:
● Upon raising the sensitivity level, the screen may appear grainy or
white, or white defects may occur. However, this is not a malfunction.
● When [Sense Up] is set to a value other than AOffB, flickers occur under
the light of fluorescent or mercury lamps. This is not a malfunction of
the camera, but is due to principles related to Sense Up.
● When the [Shutter Speed] item L is set to A1/100B to A1/10000B, set
[Sense Up] to AOffB.

L Shutter Speed

● Dark images can be improved with the [Sense Up] (A Page 54) function
but the tracking may be slow.
Note:
● The Auto Tracking function of this camera detects changes in brightness.
As such, depending on changes in the illumination, it may or may not
detect movement of objects having the same color as the background
color. It may be difficult to detect objects with very slow movement. Check
the operating conditions thoroughly beforehand and configure the
settings such that there will not be any misoperation or omission of
detection.
● When [Stabilizer] (A Page 53) is set to AOFFB, this function starts from
home position and initial detect area is the screen of the home position
without enlargement. When [Stabilizer] is set to AONB, as the screen is
enlarged, it will also respond to motion of image which is not shown on
the screen. This is the specification of this unit, not a malfunction.

● [Tracking Zoom] is AOnB:
Tracking starts at the current zoom ratio. If the [Tracking Zoom Limit] is
exceeded, the camera moves in the WIDE direction but not in the TELE
direction. Once the zoom ratio enters the [Tracking Zoom Limit], the
camera will zoom within the configured tracking zoom limit.
● [Tracking Zoom] is AOffB:
The camera tracks objects at the current zoom ratio. The zoom ratio will
not change.
