jablotron JA-110C Installation

The JA-110C BUS photo verification camera
The JA-110C serves for taking one static picture of protected premises
and transfer to the JABLOTRON 100 control panel. The camera can take a
photo on command if it is required (by activation of a PG output by SMS or
dialling in, a requirement from the MyJABLOTRON app or by activation of
any detector – again via a PG output). This setting can be extended by the
optional photo buffering function. It splits taking the photos into pre-photos
when the camera takes photos in a pre-defined period and saves them to its
buffer and also into post-photos when it takes the required number of photos
after activation. The camera has built-in IR illumination for taking pictures in
bad light conditions and also a lighting intensity detector which can switch
ON any PG output (For instance to turn the external lighting on). The camera
has also a built-in tilt detector which protects against unwanted manipulation.
It occupies one position in the system. The camera should be installed by a
trained technician with a valid certificate issued by an authorised distributor.
Installation
The camera can be installed outdoors or indoors. Although the camera
has a basic level of protection against water for outdoor installation we
recommend using additional
cover because of rain and
snow protection. If the front
glass is included in the
additional cover then IR
illumination has to be
disabled. An external IR
illuminator can be used for
the illumination of the
monitored area and can also
be switched on by the
function "External device
triggering". For simple
setting of the monitored area
the camera is equipped with
a jointed holder (1).

illumination
1. Open the lower camera cover (by releasing 2 screws).
2. The camera's jointed holder includes two parts which split the
adjustable joint (1). Disassemble the holder by unscrewing to get to its
two parts (1).
3. Install the lower part of the holder onto the required place using two
screws.
4. On the rear part of the camera release the bushing (4) and put the BUS
cable through the camera.
5. Connect the BUS cable to the BUS terminals (7).
When connecting the detector to the system BUS,
always switch the power off.

6. Proceed according to the control
panel installation manual. Enrolling
the camera to the system and setting
all parameters can only be performed
in Service mode.
Basic procedure:
a. When the system has been
turned on then the yellow LED (3)
flashes and it indicates the
camera has not been enrolled to
the system yet.
b. Using F-Link software, select the
required position in the Devices
window and launch enrolment
mode by clicking on the Enroll
option.
c. Press the LEARN/TAMPER (8)
button in the camera – the
camera is thus enrolled to the system on the required position and
the yellow LED indicator goes off.
7. Close the camera cover.
Notes:
When the camera is placed out of protected area, for example in outdoor
environment, we strictly recommend using the JA-110T BUS isolator and put
it to BUS leg. This leg will protect the BUS against unwanted manipulation
(tampering).
The camera is not equipped with an IR filter to get the best picture quality at
night which is why pictures taken during the day could be violet coloured.
The module can also be enrolled to the system by entering its production
code (6) in the F-Link software or using a bar code scanner. All numbers
The JA-110C BUS photo verification camera
stated under the bar code shall be entered (1400-00-0000-0001) or by
option "Scan/Add new BUS devices".
If the camera is enrolled as a first camera or a control panel is not connected
to an external mass storage area (http://img.jablotron.cz),F-Link shows a
dialogue window with a question: „Enable image transfer to the IMG
server?". We strictly recommend enabling this option with the agreement of
the customer and confirming this acceptance by recording it in the system
service log with his signature.
Caution: If the transmission is not enabled, photos will be saved in the
internal memory of the camera and the control panel. Then it is impossible to
send them to users´ cell phones and e-mails.
Setting the camera properties
The camera properties can be set by F-Link software (version 1.2.3 and
higher) – Devices tab. When at the camera position, use the Internal
settings option to open a dialog window where the following settings can be
configured (* default settings):
Activation PG for one photo: (*No) The function primarily serves to take
one photo when a selected PG (PGs) is triggered. The camera takes this
photo in LQ and HQ, but only LQ is sent. The HQ photo is temporarily stored
in the camera memory and sent when it is requested via the
MyJABLOTRON app or F-Link.
Note: The camera has a buffer for approximately 100 photos and it is also
the limitation for photos requested by the activation of a PG output to 3
photos in 10 minutes.
Transferred to ARC as an alarm photo: (*Disabled) This option
determines if the captured photo will be taken as an alarm photo and sent to
the ARC.
Note: This option is visible if at least one activation PG is selected.
LED flashes every 30 s: (*Disabled)
By enabling this option the camera flashes every 30 s and then always
when a photo is taken. For outdoor detectors, sirens or any other verification
devices it is good to indicate they are active by regular warning flashes of the
LED (they can be taken as pre-detectors to detect any potential intrusion).
Photo buffering: (*Disabled) Activation of this option enables the function
of storing photos in the camera's buffer memory using the set interval. If the
memory is full, the oldest photos are deleted. By subsequently setting
"Photos before activation" and "Photos after activation" of the selected PG
you can store and send photos that can show what happened before or after
the entire PG activation.
Note: When setting the photo buffering function you should consider the
number of photos sent from the system (mentioned in the control panel
installation manual), especially if more cameras are installed in the system.
Transferred to ARC as an alarm photos: (*Disabled) This option
determines if the captured photos will be taken as alarm photos and whether
sent to the ARC.
Note: This option is visible when the parameter "Photo buffering" is
enabled.
Taking a series of photos when PG triggered: (*No). This function is
primarily used to send a series of photos when a selected PG (or PGs) is
triggered. The number of saved photos before and after triggering of the
selected photos results from the subsequent setting. An activation photo for
Photo buffering is taken in LQ only.
Photo interval (1-15 s.): (*5 s) It is used to set the frequency of photos in
a series. The optimum setting depends on the particular installation situation.
For instance: if the intruder is expected to come from the side or if the field of
view of the camera or the surrounding space is limited, a shorter time should
be set. The disadvantage is that the saved photos in the camera are
overwritten more quickly. If the camera covers a larger area and if the
intruder is expected to move towards the camera, a longer time should be
set.
Note: We recommend you to test the camera setting in each situation in
the real environment (simulate the intruder). This is the only way to get the
product's optimal setting.
Pre-PG activation photos: (*Enabled) Disabling the option prevents the
saving and subsequent sending of photos taken before the triggering of the
selected PG (or PGs). Photos taken before activation of a PG are only
saved in LQ.
Post-PG activation photos: (*Enabled) Disabling this option prevents the
saving and subsequent sending of photos taken after activation of the
selected PG (or PGs). Photos taken after PG activation are saved in LQ and
HQ.
Number of taken photos (1-15 photos): (*1) This option serves for
setting the number of photos that are to be saved before/after triggering of
the selected PG. The total sum of saved photos may be max 15 + 1
activation (initiated by PG triggering). These 15 photos may include photos
before and after activation of the PG in accordance with the customer´s
requirements or particular installation situation.
Number of sent photos (1-5 photos): (*1) This option serves for
setting the number of photos that are sent to the control panel and then
through an SMS or directly to the MyJABLOTRON portal. Always at least
one photo before the activation, the photo initiated by PG activation and a
photo after activation are sent.
