Page 10: Product Description
Installation Manual Product description Legend IP™ is a line of advanced PTZ domes that stream digital video. Digital video is easier to transmit, share, and store than conventional analog video signals. Digital video systems also integrate well into most communications and media networks and are easily operated from software applications that manage digital video, such as GE’s SymSecure™... -
Page 11: Operational Overview
Legend IP domes, refer to that software’s documentation for its instructions. System configurations Legend IP domes can be used in a variety of digital and analog system configurations. They still maintain their built-in receivers that decode analog commands originating from a compatible controlling devices, such as a... - Page 12 Legend IP Installation Manual Typical digital system A typical digital system is shown in Figure 1. In this configuration, control commands come from a software application, such as GE’s SymSecure or SymNav, instead of keypads or ASCII control software. The dome’s built-in encoders stream video to external decoders before it is transmitted to monitors, digital recorders, and alarm equipment.
- Page 13 Chapter 1 Introduction Typical advanced analog system A typical advanced analog system is shown in Figure 2. In this configuration, control commands pass through digital recorders and alarm equipment and video is switched to various monitors.

Page 17: Dome Requirements
Chapter 1 Introduction Dome requirements For proper operation, adhere to the following operational, load, cable, and power requirements for Legend IP domes. Minimum load requirements Table 1 lists the load requirements for all Legend IP dome configurations. CAUTION: For safety, the mounting surface, hardware, and procedure used for securing the dome must support the weight of the dome, mount (if used), cables, and any structural or environmental vibration according to local codes. -
Page 18: Cable Management
Legend IP Installation Manual Cable management Follow all local codes for cable management. As a general rule, you can fill a cable conduit to a maximum of 60% of its capacity. You must maintain 40% free space. A variety of factors will determine how many cables you can run into the dome. -
Page 19: Power Requirements
Introduction Power requirements All Legend IP domes require a 24 VAC power supply to operate the domes’ PTZ, camera, and heater/blower, if present. The startup and running power requirements vary depending on the model (Table 3). Be aware that Legend IP domes have greater power requirements than do CyberDome or analog Legend domes, which may require upgrading the power cabling for Legend IP domes. -
Page 20: System Planning
Consider each of the following related issues. If you have questions that this section does not answer, GE Security has system design engineers available to help you design your system. Contact your dealer, sales representative, or GE Security at www.gesecurity.com. - Page 21 Chapter 1 Introduction Needed network switch features Network switches have many associated features, but only a few affect the transmission of digital video and need to be considered when designing a system. Those few are port speed, switching capacity, multicast protocol, and IGMP snooping.
- Page 22 Legend IP Installation Manual can expect many switches to turn on this feature by using a serial cable to configure the IP address of the built- in management interface, then accessing that interface and using a web browser to change the settings.
