Overview Congratulations on your purchase of this 360º PTZ Camera Dome! This system is an ideal solution for monitoring a large area – a combination of a high quality CCD image sensor mounted in a contained dome with the option to pan fully 360º.
Layout of the Camera and PTZ Controller 1 2 3 4 1. Wall-Mount Arm For mounting the PRO-751 Dome to a wall, post or similar vertical surface. 2. Ceiling-mount Bracket For mounting the PRO-751 Dome to the underside of a ceiling or overhang. 3. Camera Housing Contains the camera, PTZ unit and associated circuitry and electronic components. 4. Dome Cover Protects the camera. 5 Front View 6 7 Rear View 8 5. LED Display Displays the current status of the PTZ controller. 6.
Layout of Remote Control DISP (Display) Toggles the display on the front of the PTZ Controller, showing the Command Address, Protocol and Baud Rate. PRESET (HOLD to define) Changes or accesses preset points. PATTERN (press and HOLD) Allows for the programming of lists of preset points for the camera to view in sequence. DELETE (press and HOLD) Will remove a Preset Point or Pattern. RUN Commands the system to begin executing the programmed pattern. HOME Master Preset Point.
ESC (Escape) Stops the current action and returns to the default interface. Aborts half completed sequences, such as programming a cruise pattern. SETUP Readies the PTZ Controller to accept new values for Baud Rate and Protocol. The “p” and “d” are protocols (Pelco-P and Pelco-D respectively) and the numerical value is the abbreviated Baud Rate. ARROWS Used to move the camera. ENTER Confirms a selection. Whilst the camera is moving, ENTER will hold it still.
Connecting the Camera 1 2 3 5 6 4 7 1. After running the camera cable through the mounting arm/bracket, attach to the main plug on the camera circuit board (see opposite). 2. Connect the BNC connector and power connectors to an extension cable (optional). 3. Connect the purple and white wires to the RS485 plug, and insert the RS485 plug into the RS485 port on the rear of the controller (see opposite). 4.
1. Connecting the Camera Cable Before mounting the camera, it is important to connect it correctly. 1. Run the cable through the mounting arm or bracket you would like to use. 2. Make sure you run the cable through starting with the camera end (not the end with the BNC connectors - they’re too big to fit). 3. Once the cable has been pulled through, plug it into the top of the camera. 4.
Mounting the Camera NOTE: Before you begin, be sure that there are no live electrical cables in the area you wish to mount the camera. To mount the camera: After connecting the camera as described on page 8 and installing the cables as shown on page 9, place it in the desired location. Then, using an appropriate screw for the surface you’re fixing the dome to, screw the arm/bracket into place. Ensure you have enough cable coming through the mounting arm/bracket to connect it to your system.
Field of view The PRO-751 can pan a full 360º. This means that (for example) installing the PRO-751 in a tight corner is probably not an ideal utilization of its potential! A wall is a better option, as it allows 180º of view for the camera. A freestanding pole of sufficient height and integrity to reliably hold the camera securely is an ideal choice, as is the centre of the ceiling in a larger room or a warehouse. Height For best results, the PRO-751 PTZ Dome should be mounted as high up as practicable.
Setting the Command Address The included PTZ controller is capable of controlling multiple PTZ cameras. Thus, each camera needs its own unique identification (a “Command Address”). To define a camera’s Command Address, connect the camera (and only that camera) to the PTZ controller. Then: • Press the CAM key. The PTZ controller display will now show Axxx (where “xxx” is the current Command Address assigned to the controller). • Enter the Command Address that you’d like to assign to the camera.
Connecting Multiple PTZ Systems Connecting multiple PTZ systems to the included controller is a convenient way to be able to access and control a complex, multi-camera system from one central location. This is, however, an advanced feature of PTZ systems, and should only be attempted by those experienced with security system and/or networking technologies. In a nutshell: multiple systems can be connected to the RS485 cable in a bus or line configuration.
Operating the Camera The information in this section assumes that you have the PRO-751 attached to the supplied IR receiver/PTZ Controller module and have followed the instructions on page 12 for configuring the Command Address, Protocol and Baud Rate settings. Alternately, if you have the RS485 connections to the PRO-751 attached to a PTZ capable DVR, then use the PTZ controls through your DVR (consult your DVR manual for more details).
Removing a Preset Point Removing Preset Points is performed in much the same manner as defining them. Once a Preset Point has been removed, selecting it as detailed opposite will no longer have any effect, until a new point is set. • Press the DELETE button on the remote, and hold for two seconds. • The display will now read “Clr-” • Press a number key to select a Preset Point number. To choose a Preset Point with a value higher than 10, press the -/-- button first. • Press ENTER to confirm.
Advanced Operation The numerical command functions shown in this section are recommended only for advanced users. Improper use of these commands may interfere with the functionality of the PTZ system. The PRO-751 PTZ dome can accept many additional commands to those already listed. As there are not enough buttons on the remote control to assign one to each function or setting applicable to the dome, they are presented and used as a series of numerical commands.
Additional Functions Auto-Home Function The PRO-751 can be configured to automatically return to it’s master Preset Point, the “Home Point”. This is particularly useful for monitoring a door, hallway, car space or similar, where the default position of the camera should be viewing this location. To turn Auto-Home ON and OFF use the numerical command shown opposite. The numerical commands are “81” to enable the Auto-Home function, and “82” to disable it.
Troubleshooting Guide Problem: My DVR is in Motion Detection mode, and continually records whilst the camera is moving. Solution: This is not a malfunction. When a DVR looks for “motion”, what it is really doing is looking for a change between one image it captures and the next. Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether it’s something the camera sees or the camera itself that is moving, the DVR will interpret the change as movement.
