2.3 Setting Unit for Termination

The device which is connected at end of line, whether it is a dome camera or keyboard controller, must have the cable for communication terminated by

setting the appropriate DIP switch. Without proper termination, there is potential for control signal errors. Total length of the cable for communication should

not exceed 1.2km.

2.4 Setting Address (ID) of Dome Camera

To prevent damage, each dome camera must have a unique address (ID). When installing multiple dome cameras using a multiplexer, it is suggested that the

dome camera address matches the multiplexer port number.

If you wan to set the address more than 999, you should connect the service provider.

Example: Port 1 = Dome 1, Port 2 = Dome 2 ... Port 16 = Dome 16. If more than 16 dome cameras are installed using two or more multiplexers, ID of the

dome camera should be ID of MUX x No. of camera IN. (e.g. multiplexer ID= n, Camera IN= m then ID of Dome =16x(n-1)+m )

Refer to Figures 4-5 for setting the dome camera address (ID) and protocol selection.

When camera reaches ﬂoor alone moving object, it will stop. Release the Joystick handle instantly and then pull down to run ﬂip fucntion.

The speed of following object will be same speed as previous.

• TILT Over Angle

This option is used to set the limit of the horizontal view angle so that the trim ring or ceiling does not obstruct the horizontal image when zooming out (wide angle).

ON: In some installations it is desirable for the dome camera to be able to see the above horizon. When this option is chosen, the dome will tilt up

over the horizon (about -10 degrees). When the lens is zoomed out, you can see the ceiling line. But when the lens is zoomed in the viewing angle is

narrower, and the ceiling line disappears.

Without Bubble: The tilt range of the camera is limited to see the horizon so the picture shows part of the ceiling line.

With Bubble: The tilt range of the camera is limited to see below the horizon (10 degrees). Over Angle is not sufﬁcient enough to avoid ceiling

obstructions, please adjust Origin Offset of tilt angle as described below.

The offset value is still valid after all data is erased. The offset value can be zero only with default set of Offset origin menu.

CAUTION: All the data in the selected dome camera will be lost unless you download the data into a safe place. (Refer to Download/ Upload data

function in Keyboard Conﬁguration utility.) Data from the selected dome camera can be stored in the keyboard controller temporarily.

If you want to save the data of all installed dome cameras, you need a special I/O interface and software for PC.

• ORIGIN OFFSET

This feature is useful to align a replaced dome camera to the exactly same position as the previously installed dome camera.

Dome camera’s origin set and all data initialize option do not override offset values. Only the default set option in this menu will set the offset value to zero.

This can be used to avoid ceiling obstructions.

4. Troubleshooting

If problems occur, verify the installation of the camera with the instructions in this manual and with other operating equipment. Isolate the problem to the

speciﬁc piece of equipment in the system and refer to the equipment manual for further information.

Problem

Possible Solution

Verify that power is connected to all pieces of equipment in the system.

Verify that the power switches are in the ON position.

Check the video connections (see Figures 4).

No video

Check that the BNC connectors are inserted properly.

Check the voltage level of the dome camera.

Poor video quality

Check that 8 pin cable is connected to the Keyboard. Check 8 pin cable for Keyboard is

proprietary. (Cable for video is shielded.)

Check termination of Video.

Reset the cameras using the Dome conﬁguration menus.

Check that the dome cameras are inserted properly in the base.

Check the voltage level of the dome camera.

Dome cameras lose their positions.

Camera number does not match the multiplexer number. Check the camera ID and insert the BNC cable into the proper input of the multiplexer.

Picture is torn when switching

Check Line Lock setting and adjust phase of L/L (see page 25).

5. Glossary

Alarm Actions

The assigned responses for the dome camera when inputs change from normal to abnormal states.

The dome may run a Preset, Pattern, or have no assigned action for each of the four dome inputs. The dome may also send alarm

states to the host controller for processing. See also Input and Normal Input State.

Areas

Programmed start and end points of the dome’s ﬁeld of view around its pan axis.

Each area is a part of a circular viewing area that extends around the dome. The areas can be different sizes. Up to 16 areas can be

programmed for the dome.

Automatic Gain

Control (AGC)

Allows for the ampliﬁcation of the video signal in scenes with minimal ambient light. Many low-light scenes result in picture noise.

As gain is increased, the picture noise is also ampliﬁed. When AGC is enabled, the value of the gain setting is based on feedback from

the camera. When AGC is disabled, the camera uses the value set for the manual gain setting. The trade-off between picture level and

noise may be adjusted when AGC is disabled.

On-screen Menu

Flip

The text overlay menu system used for setting dome features. The utility is accessed using a keystroke combination.

The utility provides settings for camera functions, zoom, alarms, text display, and password protection.

Allows the dome to automatically turn 180 degrees when the camera tilts to its lower limit and stays in that position for a brief delay.

When the dome ﬂips (rotates), the camera starts moving upward as long as the tilt control is kept in the down position. Once the

Joystick handle is released to neutral position, the tilt control returns to its normal operational mode. The ﬂip feature is useful when

you need to track someone who walks directly beneath of the dome and continues on the other side.

Home Position

Input Alarm

Input Devices

IR Mode

The default position to which the dome camera returns after an assigned period of inactivity passes.

The default position may be a Preset, Tour, Pattern, or No Action.

A connection point on the dome camera that enables the system to monitor Input Devices.

There are four inputs available for the dome camera.

External devices that provide information about the condition of system components that connect to the inputs on the dome camera.

Typical input devices include door contacts, motion detectors and smoke detectors.

A feature of the camera that permits manual or automatic switching between colour and IR (black-and-white) operation.

When IR mode is active, clearer images may be obtained under low-light conditions.

Line Lock

Allows you to phase lock the video with the AC power line. When line lock is enabled, it prevents vertical video rolling when switching

multiple cameras to a single monitor. If text appears slightly tinted on colour monitors, disabling the line lock may prevent this problem.

Name Information Relates to the display the dome name, the area where the dome is pointing, the name of the preset or pattern that is running, and

alarm names. The display of each type of name setting can be enabled or disabled. When the display of camera or area title (name) is

enabled, the information appears on the screen continuously. Preset, tour and pattern titles (names) appear only while they are active.

Normal Input State Describes the expected state of a device connected to one of eight dome camera’s inputs. The normal state may be open or closed.

When a device is not in its normal input state, an alarm is issued.

North Position

Low Shutter

User-deﬁnable setting that may correspond to magnetic north or some well-known landmark.

Used to approximate the camera dome's pointing direction when Direction Indicators are enabled.

Setting used to improve the quality of video obtained in extreme low-light situations. When the Low Shutter setting is enabled, low-

light information is collected over multiple ﬁelds based on the Shutter Limit setting. As a result, video may appear blurred or choppy

in extreme low-light situations. This setting does not effect camera operation in normal lighting situations.
