Phenomena Specific
CCD Image Sensors
The following phenomena that may appear in images are specific to CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensors. They do not indicate malfunctions.
White flecks
Although the CCD image sensors are produced with high-precision technologies, fine white flecks may be generated on the screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic rays, etc.
This is related to the principle of CCD image sensors and is not a malfunction.
The white flecks especially tend to be seen in the following cases:
• when operating at a high environmental temperature
• when you have raised the gain (sensitivity)
• when using the slow shutter
Vertical smear
When an extremely bright object, such as a strong spotlight or flashlight, is being shot, vertical tails may be produced on the screen, or the image may be distorted.
Monitor screen
Vertical thin tails shown on the image
Bright object (e.g. strong spotlight, strong reflected light, flashlight, the sun)
Aliasing
When fine patterns, stripes, or lines are shot, they may appear jagged or flicker.

Using the SNMP
This unit supports SNMP (Simple Network
Management Protocol). You can read MIB-2 objects and write some MIB-2 objects using software such as
SNMP manager software. This unit also supports the coldStart trap which occurs when the power is turned on or the unit restarts, and the Authentication failure trap which informs of an illegal access using SNMP.
Using CGI commands, you can set community name and access limitation, reading/writing right, host to send traps, and some MIB-2 objects. To allow these settings, you need authentication by the camera administrator.
1. Inquiry Commands
You can check the SNMP Agent settings using the following CGI commands.
