VT-PTZ Series INTRODUCTION Features The Speed Dome Camera features a high resolution EX-View HAD CCD imager for enhanced lowlight sensitivity. User friendly, on-screen pull-down menus and short-cuts make it easy to setup and program functions. System information aides trouble shooting by displaying the hardware and software version of the camera’s firmware version, baud rate, and protocol. ! Built-in Optical Power Zoom Camera. ! 248 Presets programmed with view direction, zoom, and BLC.
VT-PTZ Series INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION Typical system configuration Additional Speed Dome joystick controllers and a variety of external switching devices such as multiplexers (MUXes) and Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) may be incorporated to accommodate the needs from a small to a large surveillance/security system. Figure 1 illustrates sample installation.
VT-PTZ Series INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION Basic configuration of speed dome camera system Figure 2 - Basic Installation Diagram 11
VT-PTZ Series INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION Connecting the Speed Dome directly into the DVR • Locate the RS485 + & - conductor wire from the Speed Dome Camera. · Connect the + & - into the Tx+ & Tx- ports of the DVR. Tx+ & Tx- ports can be found in the rear part of the DVR.
VT-PTZ Series INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION Connecting both Speed Dome and DVR via J-BOX Figure 5 - Connecting Camera & DVR into Controller 13
VT-PTZ Series INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION The dome camera must be installed by qualified service personnel. Before installing the dome camera system, this instruction manual must be read thoroughly and understood fully. Dome cameras must be set up properly before starting the installation. This involves properly setting configuration switches. Figure 6 shows the location of these switches.
VT-PTZ Series INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION Setting the Web Baudrate Set baudrate of communication between control board and IP board.
VT-PTZ Series INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION Figure 10 - Termination Diagram 16
VT-PTZ Series INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION Dome Camera Address (ID) Each dome camera must have a unique address (ID). Identical IDs on the same line may damage the control circuit caused by an electrical short. When installing multiple dome cameras or a DVR, it is recommended that the dome camera ID’s be identical to the camera port of the DVR. Cam Port 1 = Dome ID1, Cam Port 2 = Dome ID 2 … Cam Port 16 = Dome ID 16.
VT-PTZ Series INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION Setting Protocols A Speed Dome camera is capable of negotiating with multiple protocols if the communication speed is matched (same baud rate i.e., 9600 bps). See Figure 13 for the appropriate protocol switch settings. Note: Consult service personnel if a dome camera is installed with a device other than a recommended Speed Dome Controller.
VT-PTZ Series INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION Connections How to Connect RS485 The dome camera has a built-in RS-485 receiver so that it can be controlled remotely by an external control device such as a joystick controller or a DVR. RS-485: Connect the TXA (Tx+) and TXB (Tx-) of the RS485/422 control devices (KBD, DVR…) to RXA(RX+), RXB(RX-) of the dome camera. RS-485 does not allow for a star connection layout. A splitter is required if a star connection layout is desired. RS-485 guarantees 1.
VT-PTZ Series INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION Mounting the Dome Camera Once all DIP switches are set properly and all external connections are made, the dome camera can be mounted. The Speed Dome camera is designed to mount on a structural body supporting loads up to 5 Kg. See Figure 14 Figure 14 - Example of a ceiling mounted installation Installation Hints Grab the dome head with hand as the picture above. 1. Align one of hook and guide rail than makes opposite hook fit. 2.
