I. INTRODUCTION Features The Speed Dome Camera features a high resolution EX-View HAD CCD imager for enhanced lowlight sensitivity. User friendly, on-screen pull-down menus and short-cuts make it easy to setup and program functions. System information aides troubleshooting by displaying the hardware and software version of the camera’s firmware version, baud rate, and protocol.
II. INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION 2.1 Typical System Configuration Additional Speed Dome joystick controllers and a variety of external switching devices such as multiplexers (MUXes) and Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) may be incorporated to accommodate the needs from a small to a large surveillance/security system. Figure 1 illustrates sample installation.
2.3 Connecting the Speed Dome directly into the DVR • Locate the RS485 + & - conductor wire from the Speed Dome Camera. • Connect the + & - into the Tx+ & Tx- ports of the DVR. Tx+ & Tx- ports can be found in the rear part of the DVR.
2.5 Connecting Both Speed Dome and DVR via J-box Figure 5 - Connecting Camera & DVR into Controller PTZ SPEED DOME CAMERAS...

The dome camera must be installed by qualified service personnel. Before installing the dome camera system, this instruction manual must be read thoroughly and understood fully. Dome cameras must be set up properly before starting the installation. This involves properly setting configuration switches. Figure 6 shows the location of these switches.
2.6 Principle of Termination Every device that is connected at the end of the communication data line must be terminated by either the DIP switch setting or an appropriate device such as a termination jumper to prevent potential control signal errors. See Figure 7 for termination switch settings and Figure 8 for examples of devices requiring termination.
2.7 Dome Camera Address (ID) Each dome camera must have a unique address (ID). Identical IDs on the same line may damage the control circuit caused by an electrical short. When installing multiple dome cameras or a DVR, it is recommended that the dome camera ID’s be identical to the camera port of the DVR.
2.8 Setting Protocols A Speed Dome camera is capable of negotiating with multiple protocols if the communication speed is matched (same baud rate i.e., 9600 bps). See Figure 10 for the appropriate protocol switch settings. Note: Consult service personnel if a dome camera is installed with a device other than a recommended Speed Dome Controller.
2.9 Connections • How to Connect RS485 The dome camera has a built-in RS-485/422 receiver so that it can be controlled remotely by an external control device such as a joystick controller or a DVR. RS-485/422: Connect the TXA (Tx+) and TXB (Tx-) of the RS485/422 control devices (KBD, DVR…) to RXA(RX+), RXB(RX-) of the dome camera.
3.0 Mounting the Dome Camera Once all DIP switches are set properly and all external connections are made, the dome camera can be mounted. The Speed Dome camera is designed to mount on a structural body supporting loads up to 5 Kg. See Figure 11. YELLOW STICKER YELLOW STICKER Left Hook...
3.1 Power on and Boot-up Sequence When the power is applied to the dome camera, it will start the boot-up sequence. When boot-up is done, the following information is displayed on the monitor screen. RAM TEST CHECK NO. : OK! CHECK AAAA : OK! CHECK 5555 : OK! SD SERIES...
III. PROGRAM & OPERATION Dome Camera Selection Prior to start programming or operating a dome camera, please make sure that both the camera and the joystick controller are communicating.

Glossary ALARM ACTIONS The assigned responses of the dome camera when there is input status change. The dome may call Presets for each of the eight inputs. The dome reports the alarm states to the Keyboard controller for processing. AREA TITLE It is the name of the horizontal sector from a certain start point to end point of the selected dome.
Page 49
INPUT DEVICES External devices that provide information about the condition of system components that connect to the inputs on the dome camera. Typical input devices include door contacts, motion detectors and smoke detectors. IR MODE A feature of the camera that permits manual or automatic switching between color and IR (black-and-white) operation.

WHITE BALANCE Adjustments in the color hue (red and blue) gains for a camera so that true white appears white in the image. It is normally compensated for by the automatic gain control. In some lighting conditions, you may need to manually adjust the red and blue settings for optimal viewing.
