Camera User Manual Visual Engineering Technologies Ltd. About the User Manual This user manual describes the operation of the Visual Engineering line of dedicated surveillance cameras. The user manual is split into two sections. Section one is the user guide, in which the reader is introduced to the full range of cameras, and their function.
Visual engineering cameras can be recognised from their equipment label, the following part numbers are described in this document: MKIIID: 18 – 36 X Optical Zoom, IP67 PTZ Camera MKIIIH: High Definition IP67 PTZ Camera MKIXB: 36X Optical Zoom Forward Centre Camera...
Camera User Manual Visual Engineering Technologies Ltd. is accomplished via Sony VISCA over RS232. VE manufacture a range of controller / monitors compatible with this camera. Other control protocols are available on request. The outer casing is manufactured from Delrin, shot blasted to reduce reflections and coated to prevent moisture ingress.
Camera User Manual Visual Engineering Technologies Ltd. MKIXB: 36X Optical Zoom Forward Centre Camera The MKIXB is around the latest generation, low light, Sony block cameras. The MKIXB forward centre PTZ allows a +/- 30 degrees range of motion in both pan and 25 degrees in tilt.

The maximum semi-rigid length is 1m. As part of the Visual Engineering security products line, the camera is compatible with all our monitors and controllers.
Camera User Manual Visual Engineering Technologies Ltd. PHC-XXX: Micro Pin Hole Cameras 15 – 70mm The PHC Micro Pinhole cameras, combine a pinhole lens with a miniature SOC sensor allowing rapid deployment in any situation. The device incorporates a tiny, system-on-chip (SOC) sensor, and it’s necessary ancillary circuitry into a weatherproof package measuring just 43x12x12mm.
Camera User Manual Visual Engineering Technologies Ltd. SWZ: Miniature Pan and Tilt Camera The SWZ is designed to provide a switched zoom function pan & tilt assembly, in a small lightweight package. As well as surveillance, the switched zoom is also perfect for UAV integration applications.
Camera User Manual Visual Engineering Technologies Ltd. PPTZ-025010 Pin Hole Pan Tilt Zoom Camera The PPTZ" designed to allow +/- 30 degree pan and tilt range along with 2.5- 10mm zoom. All this through a 2mm discreet aperture. The device incorporates a low light high resolution colour Camera a pin hole zoom lens and smooth low noise pan and tilt drives along with the necessary drive train and control electronics.
Camera User Manual Visual Engineering Technologies Ltd. HHC forms the core of a new group of control and monitoring hardware from Visual Engineering. We are aware that there is no one size fits all for field applications. As such we have designed a range of controllers and monitors that can be used either alone, or in conjunction with other items from the range to build an application specific control solution.

Camera User Manual Visual Engineering Technologies Ltd. PHC-030 PHC-045 PHC-070 PPTZ-025010 Low Light Performance Because much surveillance is performed in low light, the low light performance of the camera is critical. Many of the Visual Engineering cameras have excellent low light characteristics.
Camera User Manual Visual Engineering Technologies Ltd. 0.004 PPTZ-025010 0.12 Operating the Cameras The Pan and Tilt capable cameras from Visual Engineering are controlled using RS232 interface as standard, the Sony VISCA protocol is employed for this control. The baud rate of the RS232 is 9K6 for all the cameras.
Camera User Manual Visual Engineering Technologies Ltd. The PC Controller The PC controller is available free of charge and can be down loaded from the Visual Engineering website at www.visualengineering.co.uk. The PC controller application is ‘90002-3-001 VE Visca Controller V1.0.0.x Download’ The PC controller should be loaded onto a PC with an RS232 control port, or a RS232 USB adaptor.
Camera User Manual Visual Engineering Technologies Ltd. The Hand Controller Connect the hand controller to the camera using the cable provided. The hand controller should be connected to a suitable power source, the power source will power the camera and the controller.
