    8 Surveillance System Configuration The NDC surveillance system is suitable for a wide range of surveillance applications. The system can be as single NDC with one keyboard or encompassing as 64 domes with comprehensive matrix switching, PC control and even Digital Video Recording.
  • Page 103 Multiple Dome means that more than one NDC is linked in the system. Each dome connects to next dome forming a serial linking. Each dome has an individual ID dip switch, which allows the keyboard to identify each NDC and make command.

  • Page 104: Initial Power Up Inspection

    8.2 Initial Power Up Inspection After the power is first applied to a dome it will perform a self-test procedure. This calibrates and checks the basic functions of the dome; control is not possible during this self-test period. Once the camera has stopped moving, it will then be ready to control if preset points and tours have been programmed into a dome and the power is turned off, the dome will enter the Auto Pan (auto scan) mode once the power is turned on again (after self-test period).

    Dome Camera Selection To call out a dome controlling or setting. To select 1st NDC Push key 1 follow by CAM key. To select 64th NDC Push key 6 then 4 followed by CAM key. * When matrix system is used, select monitor before camera selection. Please refer to matrix system user manual. Zoom Lens Control To Zoom In Push ZOOM IN key.
  • Page 106 Focus Control The focus function of the NDC can be set as Auto Focus or Manual Focus Manual focus far Push FOCUS FAR key. The target will become farther. Focusing will stop when the key is released. (PIH-801 keyboard LCD displays “F=M”) Manual focus near Push FOCUS NEAR key.

    Horizontal 180 Instant Flip Some times it is hard to use the joystick to control the camera tracking the target directly under the camera. The instant flip key can rotate the camera 180 instantly. This allows the camera continue to track the target passing directly under the camera.
  • Page 108 Selecting Preset point Push key 1 followed by CAM key, confirming that first preset point selected. Example: To select 1st preset point: 1 PRESET key To select 128th preset point: 1 2 8 PRESET keys Joystick Control Move the Joystick to bring the camera to the desired view position.

  • Page 109: Recalling Preset Positions

    Setting Preset Dwell Time The dwell time means the time user wants to view on certain preset position under Auto Pan the Preset Dwell Time can be set between 0 ~ 255 seconds. (The factory default is 0 second) * If the dwell is set to 0 second then that position will be omitted from the Auto Pan tour. To set dwell to 5 seconds: Push key 5 followed by F2 key.

  • Page 110: Setting Preset Group

    Setting Preset Group The purpose of setting preset group allows the management of the 16 preset points before auto scanning. The first 16 preset points of each dome are separated in 4 groups. Group 1 includes: 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th preset points. Group 2 includes: 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th preset points.

    Activating Auto Pan When the Auto Pan function is activated, the NDC will auto touring the preset groups entered. Activate Auto Pan: Push AUTO PAN key, confirming the activation of auto pan. (When use PIH-800II, Auto Pan LED will be lit. When use PIH-801, LCD will display “F = A”) Stop Auto Pan: Push AUTO PAN key again, confirming the stop of auto pan.

  • Page 112: Alarm Management

    Alarm Management The 6 alarm inputs of each NDC are corresponding with the first 6 preset points. When an alarm signal is triggered, the dome will go to the relevant position at 360 /sec. Make sure the first 6 preset points are set to desired alarm areas. Alarm input can be set to NC (normally close) or NO (normally open) depends on alarm detector.

  • Page 113: Alarm Output

    Alarm Output Each NDC has 1 alarm output, with three contacts: Common, NC (normally close) and NO (normally open) to activate linking devices. When alarm response mode is set to LOCK Mode: When the alarm is triggered, NC contact to Common will be open and NO contact to common will be close. Alarm output will be back to the condition before alarm, 10 seconds after the last alarm is triggered.

  • Page 119: Appendix A. Upgrading The Software

    Appendix A. Upgrading the Software The NDC software is contained in Flash Memory, a silicon chip allowed to be erased and re-written. It provides an easy way to update the software without change any parts; just simply load the newest software from network. The following procedures are to update the software: Check Software Version Open the home page of NDC in your web browser, go to Configuration ->...
  • Page 120 Note: If FTP session quits immediately after issued by command, you should continue pinging the NDC instantly. If the NDC replies to the ping command right after pinging, it means the NDC may not enter the self-programming stage to verify the software version. If not updated, then you should reboot the NDC and back to step 3 to try again.

    Appendix B. Upgrade Custom Web Pages The NDC has a built-in web server, so the web contents are contained in Flash Memory, the same as software parts, allowed to erase and re-written. It provides an easy way to update the web pages -- just simply load and issue command from network (FTP and Telnet).
  • Page 123 Verify updated contents After uploading the custom pages, open browser to verify the correctness of contents. If not correct, modify the pages and return to previous step to upload again. Save the changes to flash Telnet to the NDC. And run command “Up –w” to write the complete web pages into flash. The detailed procedures are list as below, Open DOS window Enter “telnet <IP Address of the NDC >”...

    Appendix C. Emergency Factory Default In certain circumstance, to restore the server to initial factory default state may be necessary, normally processed through web page (Miscellaneous Operation). If the user can’t get into web page (e.g. Missing Username and Password information), then he could use Emergency Factory Default to restore to factory default settings. The username and password will be removed, and the IP address of the device will back to 192.168.0.200.
