You can refer to the previous section: “Connect the data cables” to successfully connect your camera to the OneTrack system. RS485-RS232 Configuration mode To correctly configure the converter in RS485 mode, please follow these steps: Set the jumper to ECHO OFF. Install a small jumper (little wire) between the RD(B) and TD(B) pins.
OneTrack - © 2014 VideoWave 19 RS422-RS232 Configuration Mode To correctly configure the converter un RS422 mode, please follow these steps : Set the jumper to ECHO ON. Power the converter with a regulated 12VDC power supply. Connect the 4 Data + and Data – pins of your PTZ camera to the TD(B), TD(A), RD(B), and RD(A) pins. TD(B) and RD(B) represents the (+) pins and TD(A) and RD(A) represents the (-) pins.
OneTrack - © 2014 VideoWave 3.1.5 20 Video Connect video cables between the cameras and the OneTrack controller. Connect the cable on the video output cable of the camera. Connect the other end of the cable into the video composite input of the OneTrack controller. If the OneTrack controller supports more than 1 camera, connect additional cameras to the other video inputs. It is recommended to connect the PTZ cameras in the first inputs, and the fixed cameras in the last inputs.
OneTrack - © 2014 VideoWave 21 2. Lastly, if you use an external DVR and it has a loop thru output, you can plug the camera directly in your DVR input and use its loop thru output and plug it into the OneTrack system.
OneTrack - © 2014 VideoWave 3.2 22 Software This section describes the software configuration procedure. 3.2.1 Software configuration On the first launch, the Setup Wizard should be displayed. If it doesn’t, you can launch it via the System menu. It is recommended to follow each step properly. Make sure that you see the video of all your cameras during the wizard. If you don’t see live video but only a blue image, check that the video signal cable is connected correctly.
OneTrack - © 2014 VideoWave 23 PTZ communication: Make sure that the PTZ functions are working correctly. You should be able to control the PTZ camera by using the manual PTZ buttons or by clicking directly in the video window. By default on the OneTrack, the communication parameters for all camera models are the following: Port: COM 1 Baud Rate: 9600 Data Bits: 8 Parity: None Stop Bits: 1 Flow Control: None Make sure that you put all the same settings that you configured on your camera.
OneTrack - © 2014 VideoWave 24 Once the wizard is completed, the system is started. The main window should show up and display live video Identification: To be able to access the configuration menus, you must connect to the system with a valid username and password. By default, only the administrator account exists. For the initial usage, you can use the following user account: Username: Password: administrator 1111 Warning: For security reasons, it’s important to modify the administrator password.
OneTrack - © 2014 VideoWave 25 Chapter 4 Cables and Accessories 4.1 Cable Choice This section will help you choose the right cable categories before you begin the installation of the cameras. This may be useful to prevent problems like poor video quality, PTZ communication errors, unstable power, etc. 4.1.1 Coaxial cables Recommended The coaxial video cables RG-59/U and RG-6/U are recommended to distribute video signals of CCTV cameras.
OneTrack - © 2014 VideoWave 4.1.2 26 PTZ Control Cables Recommended We recommend the UTP Cat5-E twisted pairs cables that include the characteristic for external use. Also, we recommend a 24 AWG cable size. The above recommendations will ensure an error free communication between the PTZ and the OneTrack controller. Also, it is recommended to use a twisted pair cable to reduce the interferences and the noise in the control signal.
OneTrack - © 2014 VideoWave 4.2 Power surge protector When we can meet an electric problem like a tension overload, lightning, etc, it is recommended to protect the CCTV devices. We recommend using a surge protector for the camera video signal and the PTZ data control line. Here is an example of the 15-SP05 model that we recommend: Note: This surge protector will protect the signals up to 5000A or 4 kV.
OneTrack - © 2014 VideoWave 4.3 Ground Loop A Ground Loop helps to remove the video signal interference caused by different potentials of ground. Those differences can cause a deformation in the video image.
OneTrack - © 2014 VideoWave 4.4 29 RS485/RS422 Converter Regarding the converters to control the PTZ camera we recommend a RS422/RS485 – RS232 optically isolated as shown in the figure below. This model can prevent any interference that could have been transported by the control line. It can prevent problems created by difference potential of the ground. Note: The configuration and the connection of this converter is explained in section 3.1.3. You can also use the following model of converter.
OneTrack - © 2014 VideoWave Chapter 5 Analysis of Needs This section helps you to determine which sections of a site are important to monitor and the sections that are secondary.
OneTrack - © 2014 VideoWave 5.1 31 Camera Positioning Strategy This section uses fixed cameras to cover the most important zones. In the figure below, we are using the MultiTrack mode of the OneTrack with one PTZ camera and three fixed cameras. As seen in the above image, we have one fixed camera to monitor the large parking zone and one fixed camera to monitor the gas station zone. In MultiTrack mode, the object detection such as person, vehicles and other detection is done by the fixed cameras.
OneTrack - © 2014 VideoWave 32 For the system to perform well in MultiTrack mode, each fixed camera must absolutely be installed close to the associated PTZ camera, as shown in the above example. To get a good object tracking, a fixed camera and a PTZ camera must cover the same area and be oriented in the same direction. Concerning the dead angles that are not covered by the fixes cameras, the AutoTrack mode will be used to cover them.
OneTrack - © 2014 VideoWave 5.2 33 Choosing the cameras Once the positioning strategy has been decided, it is important to correctly choose the camera models to use. As a guideline, we will enumerate some types of PTZ and fixed cameras that are available. For PTZ cameras, you can select an optical zoom of 18X, 26X or 35X with a len going up to 100mm, so you can get a better close-up of the moving objects.
OneTrack - © 2014 VideoWave 5.3 34 Choosing the bracket Regarding the brackets of PTZ cameras, it is recommended to choose a corner bracket as seen in the image below. For example, if we need to install the PTZ on the corner of a building, we will choose a bracket that will reduce the vibration as much as possible. It is important to keep good image stability, even with bad weather like a strong wind.
OneTrack - © 2014 VideoWave 5.4 35 Size of detected objects In this section, we are representing the height and width of the image of each camera, along with the vision angle, the focal length of the chosen len, and the desired distance between the fixed camera and the object. The following table displays the results from our different calculations. The following results are valid for 1/3’’ inch CCD lens.
OneTrack - © 2014 VideoWave 36 Troubleshooting guide 1. Error with communication PTZ Check that the selected protocol and camera model are correct. Check the camera address, i.e. that the ID of the camera and the ID in the screen are the same. Check that the PTZ uses the same baud rate as the one in the screen. Check that the RS485/RS422 – RS232 converter is connected correctly. Check that the PTZ camera is connected correctly to the Rx+, RX-, Tx+, Tx- pins.
OneTrack - © 2014 VideoWave 37 4. The PTZ camera doesn’t track Check if the type of tracking is selected in the screen. Check the serial converter connection. Check the Rx and Tx connection. Check that the selected protocol and camera model are correct. Check the profile and schedule to see if everything in configured correctly. 5. The PTZ camera moves by small steps Check in the Tour section if the “Use intermediate steps between presets” is checked. 6.
