Verify Camera Operation

2
Prior to installing the camera, use a bench test to verify camera operation and configure the camera for
the local network. The camera provides analog video and can be controlled through either serial or IP
communications providing streaming video over an IP network.

After the connections have been made, apply power to the camera. After the camera is turned and the
server has booted up (approximately 90 seconds), the video temporarily displays system information
including the serial number, IP address, Pelco address, Baud rate, and setting of the serial control DIP
switch: SW - software control (the default) or HW - hardware.For example:
S/N: 1234567
IP Addr: 192.168.250.116
PelcoD (Addr:1): 2400 SW
Just after the power is turned on, the zoom lens will execute a Built In Test (BIT). Then it will be
automatically set to the wide field of view (28°).
2.2.1
The thermal imager is cooled by a compact integral Stirling cooler
(also known as a cryocooler) which starts automatically when the
camera is powered on. The cryocooler makes an audible noise
when it is operating, and it requires up to 8 minutes to cool the
detector down to its operating temperature. When it is cooling down,
the video image shows a fixed test pattern, rather than live video.

Power and analog video

Connect the power, video, and serial cables to the camera as described in section 1.9
"Electrical Connections" on page 1-7.
Connect the video cable from the camera to a display/monitor and connect the power cable to
a power supply.
The camera operates on 21 - 30 VAC or 21 - 30 VDC.
Verify that video is displayed on the monitor.
If serial communications will be used, connect the serial cable from the camera to a serial
device such as a keyboard, and confirm that the camera is responding to serial commands.
Before using serial communications, it may be necessary to configure the camera to operate
with the serial device.
