SYSTEM CONFIGURATION LILIN's integrated Fast Dome Surveillance System is suitable for a wide range of surveillance applications. The system can be as single fast dome with one keyboard or encompassing as 64 domes with comprehensive matrix switching, PC control and even Digital Video Recording.
Page 25
Multiple Domes means that more than one fast dome 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 fast dome and make command. Sometimes it is more convenient to wire a telemetry system in star configuration rather than daisy chain.
Fast Dome, Matrix and Keyboard Matrix System is designed to process multiple video systems and video switching. Its central process unit (CPU) can manage multiple video signals simultaneously and control other linking system, such as fast dome or PIH-820 telemetry receiver. All telemetry remote control and signal transmissions are through twisted pair.
Baud Rate 9600 bps). The PC control port RS-232 is converted to RS-485 format by interface. User may use their own software (protocol) or software provided by LILIN to control the dome. In this system up to 64 fast domes can be linked.
Fast Dome, DVR and Keyboard The DVR System is an advanced digital recording product, with long recording time and easy searching features. Telemetry remote control is twisted pair for data transmission to the fast dome. Fast Dome can be controlled directly from the control panel of the DVR, or from keyboard.
OPERATION 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 positions and tours have been programmed into a dome and the power is turned off, the dome will enter the Auto Scan mode once the power is turned on again (after self-test period).
