Breaking away from the commonly available domes on the market the new
Solaris™ Dome offers a level of accuracy, speed and configurability never
experienced before. Solaris™ is available for both internal and external use so you
can utilise your security system to the full. Underneath the contemporary styling of
the Dome's cover is a fully featured camera unit designed to put the operator in full
control.
Under manual control, pan and tilt speed is proportional to the degree of zoom
allowing accurate target tracking, whilst high speed preset acquisition permits near
instantaneous response to alarms. Solaris™ Domes include the following features:
Colour and Day/Night versions both with 24 privacy masks.
–
Pan and Tilt Preset acquisition within 1 second, Tours, Patterns, Preset and
–
Sector texts.
7 local alarms and tamper.
–
Designed with reliability, ease of install and ease of use as priorities, Solaris™
comes with a range of innovative features. The unit is supplied as two halves - the
Dome Unit containing the camera and positioning system, and the External
Termination Unit (XTU).
The XTU separates the power, video, telemetry and alarm cable terminations from
the Dome itself; and provides a low voltage power supply for the Dome contained
within a weather-proof housing. Address and protocol selection is via a menu
driven LCD display in the XTU, avoiding the issue of remembering switch and links
settings. This means, for most applications the installer need never open the Dome
camera's enclosure. A single 10 m cable is supplied to connect the XTU to the
Dome unit.
Solaris™ is a multi-protocol Dome suitable for use with a range of industry
standard control equipment. It can be controlled via Siemens CCDA protocol over
RS485, bi-directional Molynx protocol over RS485 or coax, or alternatively using
Ernitec, Pelco D, Pelco P or VCL, Videmech Universal, Photon and PCCON
protocols over RS485. Once the receiver address, the protocol and interface have
been configured using the XTU, all other configuration can be done remotely via
the pass code protected on-screen display (OSD) menus.
Using the OSD Solaris™ Domes can be configured in flexible ways making them
powerful security system components with:
Configurable alarm and idle state time out actions
–
Functions can also be assigned to preset numbers
–
Programmable video launch amplifier
–
On-screen diagnostics and usage stats
–
Installer programmable on-screen text for contact details or inventory number
–
Access to camera module configuration via OSD
