1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Overview

This outdoor type speed dome camera equipped with a 360° pan and 90° tilt base, and 22X optical zoom lens and has the auto focus function. Moreover, it has many advanced functions, including Intelligent Auto Tracking, High Spindle Reliability, Friendly Graphical OSD Interface and Convenient Keyboard Controller Control. With all these strong features, various demanding applications for safety surveillance can be easily achieved.

1.2 Features

z High-Speed Pan/Tilt Mechanism and Auto-Focus Zoom Lens

‧ Provide 360∘panning, 90∘tilting and 22X optical zooming functionality.

z Auto Tracking Function to Follow Intruder

‧ With precise pan / tilt movement and zoom coefficient calculation, the speed dome camera can make precise pan,

tilt and zoom movement to keep tracking intruders.

‧ The camera will automatically aim and follow the largest movement in the monitoring view, making the camera pan

(max. 360º), tilt (max. 90º) and zoom to keep the target in the center of the view within: (1) the camera's pre-defined surveillance area / (2) the pre-defined tracking timeout. When the locked target is out of the pre-defined surveillance area or the aimed object stops moving longer than the pre-defined tracking timeout, the camera returns to the point it originally monitors. It's the best function to provide evidentiary recording.

z Proven Spindle Reliability

‧ The p atented spindle of the speed dome camera passes rigidly component analysis after testing more than 2,000,000

revolutions.

z Graphical On-Screen Display z Easy Operation via Keyboard Controller

2. INSTALLATION AND SETUP

For the installation and connection of this PTZ camera, please refer to qualified service personnel or installer.

2.1 Construction

2.2 Installation

Before installation, you need the following items before installation:

‧ Bracket (supplied with the bracket sales package) ‧ The accessory packages supplied with the bracket sales package, including:

(1) Wall mounting screws (2) Wall plugs (3) Cap (4) M6 Nylok screws (5) Spirit level (6) M4 screw

‧ Power Drill

Page 10

INSTALLATION AND SETUP

-4-

STEP 1: Attach the camera-mounting base to the PTZ camera.

Put the power, video and RS485 data connectors through the hole of the camera-mounting base. Align the breach of the camera-mounting base to the sticker label on the PTZ camera, and use two M6 Nylok screws to attach the camera-mounting base to the PTZ camera, as shown in the picture below.

STEP 2: Attach the bracket to the wall.

The bracket is composed of two parts: the upper part and the bottom part. Remove the upper part from the bottom part of the bracket. Use the four mounting screws and wall plugs to attach the bottom bracket to the wall, as shown in the picture below. Use the spirit level supplied with the bracket package to check the surface is horizontal or not. If the

surface is horizontal, the bubble will remain in the center circle of the spirit level.

STEP 3: Attach the PTZ camera to the bracket. Connect the power, video and RS485 wires.

Turn the camera up side down, and put the power, video and RS485 data connectors through the hole of the bracket. Then, slightly secure the camera and the bracket with three M6 Nylok screws. Use the spirit level to check the surface is horizontal or not, and adjust the tightness of the three M6 Nylok screws. When you make sure the surface is horizontal, use the M4 screw supplied with the bracket package to fix the camera and the bracket tightly. Connect the PTZ camera with the indicated power adapter, video output device and RS485-A & RS485-B wires. After connection, use the insulation tape to cover the connected wires and arrange the wires in the proper position.

Note: For detailed connection, please refer to “2.3 Connection (PTZ Camera / Keyboard Controller / DVR)” .

STEP 4: Replace the upper part of the bracket, and finish the installation.

Place the upper part of the bracket back to the bottom part of the bracket, and fasten the bracket with a M6 Nylok screw. Then use the cap supplied with the package to cover it and finish the installation.
