  • Page 9: Software Features

    The camera dome retains its capability of zoom, focus and iris control while locked. Preset 93 (Set Response Line Polarity) (Duplex Only) — The SurveyorVFT checks for polarity of the command in lines through the auto baud detect feature. The baud detect cycles through 4800+/4800-/9600+/9600- /19200+/19200-, indicating not only the baud rate it is searching for but also the polarity that the receive lines are set to.
  • Page 10 Recalling preset 95 has no effect. Preset 96 (Program Dome Sectors) — The SurveyorVFT has the ability to divide its 360° field-of-view into sections or sectors. There may be up to 16 sectors and the boundaries for each are programmed for each individual dome.

    This feature allows the user to set the optimum speed for each individual camera. With the SurveyorVFT, the operator is able to customize camera performance.

  • Page 20 The Digital Zoom Mode screen allows the digital zoom feature on the SurveyorVFT to be disabled (default setting is enabled). When the Zoom In button is held, the lens magnifies the image to the limit of the 22:1, 23:1 or 35:1 optical zoom, depending on the camera type.

  • Page 21: Alarm Handling

    A door contact on that door triggers the SurveyorVFT to take a picture of the person. At the same time, a relay driver completes a circuit, which locks the inner door, preventing open egress. Once in the vestibule, a motion detector connected to the dome senses that the person has moved over to the intercom and turns a brighter light on in the vestibule.
  • Page 22 The final menu choice available on the Alarm Input Controller menu is to Program Alarm Titles. This function and sub-menu are also available from the Source Titling menu and are reviewed in that section. 16 • Programming Menus XX134-44-00 Rev 1009 SurveyorVFT Camera Dome Programming...

  • Page 23: Relay Driver

    When Source Titling is selected from the programming menu, we enter the Display Controller series of sub-menus. These control another powerful feature of the SurveyorVFT, the ability to overlay numerous titles on top of the video image without the use of external devices.
  • Page 24 Note: Changing the text size from the defaults affects the privacy mask coverage. The Install Defaults option restores all camera titles and characteristics to their default settings.

    Scheduler/Time of Day The Scheduler/Time of Day sub-menu allows configuration of the SurveyorVFT time base and actions. The Time Controls option allows setup of the Daylight Saving Time (manual or automatic), display format (12 or 24-hour time format and MM/DD/YY, DD/MM/YY or YY/MM/DD date format) and actual entry of time and date.

  • Page 29: Language

    There are 64 timed events from event numbers 1 - 64. Note: Events have priority over all other actions executed outside the SurveyorVFT menu system. However, accessing the menu system (preset 94) will take precedence over the execution of a timed event. Language The Language feature allows the selection of one of five languages: English, Spanish (Espanol), French (Francais), German (Deutsch) and Italian (Italiano).

  • Page 30: Install Defaults

    Install Defaults Finally, the Install Defaults option restores all SurveyorVFT settings to their factory defaults. This affects all programmed functions. The table below shows the main default settings; some defaults are camera dependent. When programming, keep a record of settings as a reference if for any reason the unit must return to factory defaults.

  • Page 31: Competitive Protocols

    Competitive Protocols SurveyorVFT provides the ability to work with certain competitive protocols. This section briefly describes the use of the onscreen menu system via specific competitive keypads and protocols. Before using competitive protocols, DIP switch SW2 must be set to the appropriate protocol. Refer to the latest version of Instruction Manual XX134- XX for a complete explanation of DIP switch settings.
  • Page 32 Philips keypad user manual and converters user manuals. To enable Philips protocol set SurveyorVFT SW2 DIP switch 7 to ON position. Switches 2-6 and 8 must be set to OFF. Communication with the SurveyorVFT using Philips protocol is supported at RS-422: 9600 baud, data bit 8, parity NONE, and stop bit is 1.
