Please read this operation manual carefully before installing and using this unit !!!! Please read the following; 1. Please read the operation manual carefully before installing and operating the product. 2. The actual dome requires a 24v AC power supply. The rated input voltage of the camera is 12V!!!! This gets its power from the dome and does not require a separate PSU.
KEY FUNCTIONS Description of Functions This intelligent dome camera is a hi-tech CCTV product, which incorporates a high-clarity colour camera. It has a panoramic variable speed PAN/TILT movement, a multifunctional decoder, a character generator and an on-board processor for logic handling. The dome is easy to connect, install, maintain and operate, and has many features.
4. NiteDevil Feature a. The NiteDevil camera module incorporates a slower shutter speed allowing the camera to see more at low light levels. This camera option is best suited to slow moving scenes or stationary scenes. There are two camera modules with NiteDevil features and these are the K and N modules.
Getting the dome up and running! You MUST connect up the dome and your control equipment on a workbench or kitchen table before the actual site installation and CHECK YOU KNOW HOW TO INSTALL IT CORRECTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. By doing this you can set-up any DIP switches, adjust the camera, and learn about how it operates before taking it to site.

As the star configuration is not in conformity with the requirements of RS485 standards, problems such as signal reflections may arise, especially when there are long cable connections. The results are that control signals are decreased and the dome may not respond to, or just responds intermittently to the controller. If your STAR circuit is not too extensive with each spur in the region of 20-50 metres expect...

the installation. Not forgetting you get more predictable results! The RS485 distributor (PTZ750) amplifies the RS485 control signal and distributes it evenly to 4 separate spurs, each spur can have up to 4 domes. This means that you could theoretically have up to 4 individual spurs of over 1000mtrs each to control up to 16 PTZ domes in total.
Setting up the Dome Camera 1. Connection of the System There are many ways to wire up a PTZ system. If you have read the introduction at the beginning of these instructions you should have got a good idea what your options are.
summer but when winter kicks in and the dome’s current draw jumps from 400ma to 1.25A, an inadequate power supply or a cable with too much voltage drop may stop the dome from working properly. When winter comes don’t be suddenly caught off guard when your customer rings you to say the dome has suddenly packed in because it’s gone cold!! A popular way to power the domes is using our COMPOSITE VIDEO cable (or shotgun as its also known) as this cable can carry the power to the dome and the video...
Page 15
The PTZ600 series adopts following RS485 convention: ORANGE = RS485 + or A YELLOW = RS485 – or B You should initially be wiring the dome to the keyboard or DVR on your workshop bench or at least your kitchen table to prove you know how to get everything to work. Once you have done this, it is just a job of extending the cables and physically installing the domes on site.
If you use cores from two different pairs in the CAT5 cable you will not get the benefit of the shielding effect of the cable twists and the dome will function erratically. You must always use a core from a PAIR, not two cores from two different pairs!! Connecting the video out of the dome.

PRESETS and other functions. The dome has up to 128 presets that once programmed with stay in the domes non-volatile memory so they will be retained even after a power cut. What is a preset? A preset is a particular area or object that the dome was looking at and has been stored into its memory so when the preset is “called-up”...
Patrols (Tours) – How to set them up and use them A patrol (tour) is simply a collection of at least three preset camera locations that are run in sequence with the dome stopping at each location for a brief period of time and then moving on to the next preset. For example, you could use a patrol so that an outside dome camera points at a gate, then at a side doorway, then zooms out to get an overall shot of a car park and finally zooming in on a delivery bay, before repeating the whole cycle again.
Page 24
Setting the Patrol (Tour) To setup the patrol/tour you need to enter the Advanced Menu System by selecting <CALL> 95 <Enter>on the keypad or <CALL> 64 <Enter>. (Call varies according module type) You will see the Main Menu displayed on the screen. Enter the password to enter the menu.
Page 25
Now exit the menu by moving the Joystick down, selecting EXIT and then moving the Joystick to the right to return to the Main Menu. Again use the Joystick to select EXIT and exit the Advanced Menu System by selecting the right pan movement. Calling the Patrol (Tour) There are two methods of initiating the patrol or tour.
The Default password is 111111. See Advance Setup menu to change. You will see the Main Menu displayed on the screen. Using the joystick up/down direction movement, select the MOTION SETUP menu. Use the joystick pan right movement to enter this menu. In the AUTO SCAN menu select the scan number (maximum 3), then the speed.
closed the recording or the record time has expired, you may use an option in the Motion Setup Menu to replay the recorded pattern. Once this recorded pattern is initiated, the dome will run the record pattern continuously until a keypad movement is detected or an alarm is activated.

Page 28
STEP 2 – Now move the camera using the keypad joystick to record up to a 200 second sequence and follow this by pressing the CLOSE button to save. The record pattern will be stored for future replay. Running the Record Pattern First you must have recorded a record pattern as detailed above.
USING THE DOME’S ADVANCED FUNCTIONS- On Screen Graphics (OSD) – The PTZ605 series boasts six patrol (tour) options, an auto scan option and a record pattern option. All these can be configured using the OSD. To bring up the camera menu press <CALL> 95 <Enter> or <CALL> 64 <Enter> (varies with module type) . Note that entering Preset 01 twice within 4 seconds will also open the menu.

Controlling one camera then another. If you look at the image of the LCD display you can see the CAM=001 indicates that the keyboard is ready to talk to camera with address 1. In the dome the address 1 is set as default in the factory. You need to alter the DIP- switches within the domes to address 2, 3 etc if you have multiple domes on the same site, refer to the previous instructions how to set the DIP Switches.

Indoor embedded installation Note: To fit this dome into a ceiling, the thickness of the ceiling must be less than 1.65 inches (4.2 cm) but thicker than 0.38 inches (0. 8cm). The ceiling must withstand 4 times the load of the dome weight. Cut out the ceiling template supplied as per figure 19 and mark the centre point of the dome position on the ceiling.

Note: The alarm input must be a zero volt switch. Any voltage signals will damage the dome. When multiple alarm signals are triggered the dome will respond to them, one by one, and the response time interval will be 2 seconds. When more than one alarm signal is received, the dome will not respond to “line scanning”, “tracking”...
Connecting the Input Alarm devices You will need to decide how many alarm channels will be utilised. For each alarm channel you will need a pair of cable connections and it is recommended that a CAT5 twisted pair be utilised. Connect one core to the selected input alarm channel and the other to the ground (GND) connection.
Connecting the Output Alarm In addition to the alarm inputs, this dome will activate an alarm output if an alarm input is triggered. There are two connections for the alarm output, a common and either a normally open or a normally closed connection. Again this is a 0 volt switch and could be used for example to close a circuit to an audible alarm, lighting or other warning devices.
Appendix A: Lightning Proof and Surge Signal Proof This product adopts TVS lightning proof technology to prevent damage by a lightning strike below 1500 W and surge impulse signals. However it is also necessary to ensure that the following precautions are taken to ensure electrical safety: Keep the communication cables at least 50 meters away from high voltage equipment or cables.
Appendix B: General Information The Cleaning of Clear Dome Cover To obtain constant clear images, the user should clean the dome cover periodically. Be very careful when cleaning. Hold the dome cover ring only to avoid touching the acrylic dome cover. The acid from fingerprints will corrode the coating and any scratches on the dome cover may cause distorted or poor images.
