The SIEMENS DAY/NIGHT Dome System CCDA1415-DN comes in black finish,
mounts indoors or outdoors, and can communicate with the video controller over
Siemens RS422/RS485 network. The dome consists of a mounting base, and a
housing and rotating eyeball assembly.
The housing and eyeball assembly connects to the base using a twist and lock
action, enabling it to be moved easily from one location to another. The base
attaches directly to a hard or tile ceiling, or indirectly to walls or ceilings using one
of many optional housings and mounting structures. As shown in Fig. 1, two base
types are offered: a standard base and a base with I/O board.
Standard Base
With this base, video, data, and power cables are inserted through the base and
attached to the top of the housing and eyeball assembly, which is then
connected to the base. A lanyard connects between the base and the housing
and eyeball assembly to prevent cables from being pulled during disassembly.
The base comes in black.
Optional Base with I/O Board
With this base, video, data, and power cables are pre-connected to an I/O PC
board. A spring-finger connector on the board makes electrical contact with the
housing and eyeball assembly as it connects to the base. The base comes in
black (Quick Mount socket).
The housing and eyeball assembly consists of the following:
Housing. The housing contains the dome's power supply, pan motor, and
electronics used to operate the eyeball. The housing provides one alarm input
and one alarm output using the standard base, or four alarm inputs and four
alarm outputs using the base with I/O board.
Eyeball. With a diameter of 120 mm (4.75 inch), the eyeball contains a camera,
tilt motor, and associated electronics. The eyeball enables the camera to pan
and tilt to track a target moving in any direction even as it moves under the
dome.
Two slot covers in the eyeball facilitate access to the camera, one of which
incorporates an opening for the camera lens. Remove both covers to improve
ventilation when the dome is to be used outdoors.
Each camera has 23 x optical zoom with continuous auto focus and back light
compensation. Electronic zoom provides selectable magnification up to 184 x.
