High Performance Low Profile PTZ Kit Description
The High Performance Low Profile PTZ kit is an accessory kit for installation on the DOG Base Kit.
Each High Performanc e Low P rofile PT Z case contains 2 High Performan ce Low Profil e PTZ units with
attached zoom cameras, and associated accessories. The High Performance Low Profile PTZ units are
capable of providing 360 degrees of horizontal ( pan) motion and 180 degrees (+/ - 90◦) of vertical (tilt)
motion. The units can be either wall-mounted or pole-mounted using the Wall Mount Brackets and Pole
Mount Adapters provided in the kit. The units are also surface mountable using the Pedestal Mount
Adapter Plates, also provided in the kit. The IR Illuminator/Thermal Camera Adapter Plates allow an IR
Illuminator or Thermal Camera to be mounted if needed. This allows the IR illuminator beam (or
Thermal Camera im age) to track with the PTZ Camera as the Hi gh Performance Low Profile PTZ head
moves. Each High Performance Low P rofile PT Z unit is assigned a Channel ID reference num ber from
1 to 8 (1-4 for 4 channel DOG systems) for identification purposes. An ex ample of a High Performance
Low Profile PTZ Kit is shown in the figure below.
**WHEN RE-PACKING THE KIT, PRIOR TO POWER-DOWN, USE THE DVR DOME
CONTROLS TO POSITION THE TILT AXIS AT 0-DEGREES VERTICAL OR THE UNIT
WILL NOT FIT**
Figure 1: High Performance Low Profile PTZ Kit with Optional Military Gra de Case
Each case can be identi fied by a decal just above the handle as shown in the figure below. The “DPTZ”
stands for DOG Pan-Tilt-Zoom and is followed by the kit serial number.

High Performance Low Profile PTZ Unit Basic Operation
Each High Perform ance Low Profile PT Z unit draws its power and data commands from, and transmits
its video to, the Base Station. The High P erformance Low Profile PTZ unit can be placed up to 500m
from the DOG Base Station, using CAT-5 cable with no external power source required. The High
Performance Low Profile PTZ Channel ID number (1-8 for 8 channel systems and 1-4 for 4 channel
systems) is indicated by a decal on the bottom of the unit as seen in the figure below and must be
connected to the co rresp ond ing ch annel on th e B ase Stat ion. * Make sure to keep track of the channel
number of each High Performance Low Profile PTZ unit.
Figure 3: High Performance Low Profile PTZ Unit Channel ID Number
To operate the High Perfo rman ce Low Pro fi le P TZ unit, the user simply selects the channel of the camera
from the buttons on the front of the Base Station DVR and then pushes the Dome butt on on the DVR.
This brings up an on-screen message which indicates that the pan-tilt arrow buttons on the DVR are
active. At this point, pushing the arrow buttons moves the camera as indicated by the arrow buttons.
Details of the High Performance Low Profile PTZ unit setup are provided in the following sections.

Mounting the High Performance Low Profile PTZ Units
The two main mounting methods of surface mounting and wall/pole mounting are covered in the
following sections.
Surface Mounting the High Performance Low Pr of il e PTZ Unit
Surface mounting the High Performance Low Profile PTZ unit to a flat surface such as a roof or pedestal
requires the attachment of a Pedestal Mount Adapter Plate using the bag of the included Pedestal Mount
screws as seen in the fi gure below. The camera Home or 0 Position indicated in the figure is the 0 degree
pan position and should be p ointed at the center of the surveil lance area. The camera will pan +/ - 180
degrees about that point. The Alignment Hole indicated in the figure is for alignment of the pan tilt unit
shaft.
Position the adapter plate, with the non-countersunk-holes against the shaft (countersunk holes on other
side of the shaft ) and align the pin on the shaft with the Alignment hole on the plate as seen in the figure
below. Insert the three 1/4-20 x 5/8 flathead machine screws and tighten the screws using a Phillips head
screwdriver, but do not tighten the screws completely until all three are inserted.
Figure 4: Surface Mount accessories

Page 7
Figure 5: Attaching the Pedestal Mount Adapter Plate to the High Perfo rmance Low Profile PTZ
The High Performance Low Profile PTZ camera has a Stop Zone at +/- 180 degrees where it has to
change directions in order to keep moving. The Stop Zone is on the exact opposite side of the shaft as the
6
Page 8
Home or 0 Position as seen in the figure above. The camera should be mounted so that the Home or 0
Position is pointed at the area of interest and the Stop Zone is pointed away from the area of interest.
**Important: The Home or 0 Position hole should point to the center of the surveillance area to
avoid Stop Zone related horizontal (pan) movement delays.
For a rooftop mount, simply place the assembled unit on a piece of pl ywood or directly onto the roof,
then drive wood o r sh eet m etal s crews (# 8 or s mal ler) through the four screw holes along the perimeter of
the Pedestal Mount Adapter Plate and into the mounting surface as shown in the figure below.
Figure 6: Mounting the Pedestal onto a Surface
Wall or Pole Mounting the Pan-Tilt Unit
The wall/pole mounting bracket provided in the kit is used for attaching to a vertical surface like a wall or
pole. It is recommended to mount the bracket to the vertical surface first, then mount the pan tilt unit and
the camera to the bracket, though this order is not necessary. To mount the bracket to a wall simply hold
the bracket on the desired location and drive wood or sheet metal screws through the four holes as seen in
the figure below.
7
Page 9
Figure 7: Attaching the Bracket to a Wall or Vertical Surface
To attach the mounting bracket to a pole, place and hold the bracket in the desired location. Take one of
the provided steel fastener straps from the kit and wrap it around the bracket base so that the steel band
lines up with the notched grooves on the edges of the bracket as shown in the figure below. Tighten the
steel fastener strap with a flat head screwdriver as shown.
Once the bracket has be en securely connected to a wall or pole, pull on it to make sure that it will hold
the weight of the pan tilt unit and camera. Next remove the bolts from the Pole Mount Bracket bag
provided in the kits along with the supplied Allen wrench. Place the pan tilt unit on top of the bracket
and align the pin on the shaft with the alignment hole in the bracket as seen in the figure below. Then
place a lock washer on each bolt and insert the bolts into the holes from underneath the bracket as shown.
Screw the bolts down with the Allen wrench until tight as seen below.
*It is recommended that this operation be done by two people or more. *

Connecting the Camera to the P an Tilt Unit
The cam era can be co nnected to t he Pan Tilt unit at any stage. In most cases it is recommended that the
brackets are mounted first then the pan tilt unit connected to the brackets and finally the camera
connected to the pan tilt unit, but the situation may require a different order of operation. To moun t the
camera to the pan tilt unit remove the camera tube and the Camera Tube Mount hardware bag from the
kit. Place a lock washer and then flat washer on a screw as shown in the figure below.
Figure 10: Camera Tube Mounting Hardware
Align the camera tube to the mounting bracket on the side of the pan tilt unit as shown in the figure
below. Take the screw, lock-washer, and flat washer assembly, and then insert it into the threaded hole
on the side of the pan tilt mounting block as shown in the figure below.
Figure 11: Attaching Camera Tube to Pan Tilt Unit
Connect the Camer a Tu b e cable to the Pan Tilt unit as shown in Figure 12. Align the notch on the cable’s
knurled metal ring with the black line on the green rubber strain relief. Align these with the notch on the
Pan Tilt unit’s connector. Gently but firmly push the cable connector into Pan Tilt unit connector. It
should slide in with moderate resistance. Tighten the metal ring until the connector clicks in place. When
fully tightened, the notch on the cable’s knurled metal ring should be 180 degrees from the notch in the
Pan Tilt unit connector. Repeat the same process for the Camera Tube.
NOTE: IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE CAMERA TUBE CABLE IS FULLY TIGHTENED TO
PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE CABLE CONNECTORS.

Terminating and connecting the CAT-5 Cable
The High P erforman ce Low Profile PTZ may be connected to the D OG B ase Stati on with up to 500m of
CAT-5 cable. The Base Station end of the cable can be terminated with a standard RJ-45 male connector.
The High Performance Low Profile PTZ end of the cable must be routed through the included
weatherproof conn ector prior to termination. An exploded view (with part labels) of the weatherproof
connector is shown in the figure below. Referring to Figure 16, unscrew the weatherproof connector
body molding from the High Performance Low Profile PTZ unit’s cable, route the end of the CAT-5
cable through the end of the body molding, and crimp on a male RJ-45 connector (not supplied).
**Make sure the cable passes through both the gland cage and the body molding.
Tighten the gland nut until the gland securely grips the cable, but do not over-tighten. Apply di-electric
grease to the RJ-45 contacts to reduce the risk of corrosion in extended use or environmentally harsh
installations. Connect the High Performance Low Pro file PTZ unit’s cable to the terminated cable using
the coupler. Slide the two body molding halves together and screw down the locking cap.

Figure 16: CAT-5 cable termination and c onnection
Once the CAT-5 c abl e is connected, use a wire tie (o r cord or tape) to s ecure the CAT-5 cab l e a gainst the
pole or mounting bracket for strain relief. Leave several feet of extra cable so the High Performance Low
Profile PTZ unit has enough slack to turn all the wa y. For a wall mount, the CAT-5 cable can be wiretied to the lower section of the mounting bracket itself. There should alwa ys be sufficient slack in the
cable for the unit to go through its full range of pan motion without the cable being caught or bound-up.

Figure 20: Installing an IR Illuminator
Connecting the IR Illuminator Cable
The IR Illuminato r power cable is connected as seen in the figure below and des cribed in the DOG IR
Illuminator Kit User Manual. Once the cable has been connected, wire tie the two terminals from the
illuminator to the CAT-5 interface cable as shown below. Leave s everal feet of slack and wire tie the
cables to any solid object below the mounting bracket for strain relief.
Figure 21: Connecting the IR Illuminat or Power Cable
The strain relief should always be lower than the High Performance Low Profil e PTZ unit (6 inches to
several feet) and th ere should always be sufficie nt slack in the cables for t he unit to go through its full
range of pan motion without the cables being caught or bound-up.

• Let go and then push the arrow button again and the unit should resume movement.
• If panning, make sure the pan limit has not been reached by panning in the opposite
direction (push the other pan arrow button). Make sure there are no obstructions
physically preventing horizontal rotation of the High Performance Low Profile PTZ head.
• If tilting, make sure the tilt limit has not been reached by tilting in the opposite direction
(push the other tilt arrow button). Make sure there are no obstructions physically
preventing vertical rotation of the High Performance Low Profile PTZ head.
2. The High Performance Low Profile PTZ Unit does not move.
• Make sure that the s elected chann el matches t he High Performan ce Low Profil e PTZ unit
channel ID and that all connections to the VPD and DVR also match the channel number.
• Make sure that the supplied PTZ cable has been connected both on the VPD and the
terminal strips on the back of the DVR unit.
• Make sure that the red and black terminals of the PTZ cable are installed into the right
slots of the terminal block (red to D+ and black to D-).
• Make sure that High Performance Low Profile PTZ unit is plugged into the DOG Remote
Camera Unit through the side connector.
• Make sure the High Perf ormance Low Profi le P TZ software configuration is correct in the
DVR. See High Perform ance Low Profile P TZ Software Configuration Settings section of
