1 Getting Started

Install and wire the AutoDome according to the VG5 AutoDome Installation Manual. A typical system includes a keyboard, matrix switcher, monitor, and appropriate wiring connections. Please refer to the individual product manuals for complete installation and setup instructions for each of the system components.

1.1 Powering On

When you turn the AutoDome power on there is a ten (10) second pause before the dome starts its homing phase. During the homing phase the camera pans left and right and tilts up and down. It also adjusts the lens focus. The entire homing phase lasts approximately 40 seconds and ends with a firmware version screen.

Page 29

AutoDome 600 Series Analog PTZ Camera Alternative Control Protocols | en 29

4 Alternative Control Protocols

The VG5 AutoDome supports three alternative control protocols that allow a user to send commands and to receive information from the AutoDome. The VG5 AutoDome supports the following protocols: – Pelco-P – Pelco-D – American Dynamics (AD) Manchester – American Dynamics (AD) Sensormatic RS-422 The VG5 AutoDome natively supports the two Pelco protocols. To use the AD Manchester or the AD Sensormatic RS-422 protocol you must purchase a separate module. The module contains instructions to install any additional hardware and information about additional onscreen menus.

4.1 Setting FastAddress with Alternative Protocols

The VG5 AutoDome offers remote addressing via the FastAddress capability from a keyboard that uses an alternative protocol. The FastAddress feature allows you to instal all domes first, then set the addresses via the control system. Since it is not necessary to go to the camera’s physical location, this feature makes it easier to readdress cameras at a later time.

4.1.1 Using an American Dynamics Controller

Prior to setting the FastAddress for each camera, all cameras will initially move together. After the Unique Identifier is set, only the camera that was set with the FastAddress is capable of sending and receiving commands. When setting the FastAddress, it is important to remember that some American Dynamics Manchester systems use address blocks of 1 to 64, while American Dynamics Sensormatic systems typically use address blocks of 1 to 99; meaning that when the controller/keyboard displays video for cameras higher than 64 or 99 the keyboard/controller sends a different control code to the camera (see Section A Appendix: FastAddress Conversions, page 64, for conversion charts). For example at Camera 65, the American Dynamics Manchester system sends out an address of 1, while the Sensormatic RS422 system with an address of 100 also sends out an address of 1. It is NOT NECESSARY to convert these numbers with the Bosch FastAddress method. The camera automatically detects the address being transmitted by the Sensormatic RS-422 control system and adjusts the camera accordingly.

7 Advanced Features

This chapter details the advanced features of the VG5 AutoDome Camera.

7.1 Alarm Rules

The AutoDome features a powerful alarm rule engine. In its simplest form, an alarm rule defines those inputs that activate specific outputs. In its more complex form, a rule can be programmed to take any combination of inputs and keyboard commands to perform a dome function. There are numerous combinations of alarm inputs and outputs that can be programmed into twelve alarm rules.

7.1.1 Controlling Alarm Rules

The AUX 69 command allows a user to enable or disable all alarm rules. By default, alarm rules are enabled until the OFF-69-ENTER command is issued from a keyboard (there is no corresponding menu item for this command). Disabling alarms rules does not erase the rule, the AutoDome preserves the user-defined settings and the rule data is restored when the ON69-ENTER command is issued. The OFF-69-ENTER command performs the following actions: – Disables all alarm rules – Displays the message “Ack and Reset Alarms” if an alarm-rule triggered alarm is active

when the AutoDome receives the disable command. You must acknowledge the alarm before the rule is disabled.

– Prevents the modification of an alarm rule while disabled.

7.1.2 Alarm Rule Examples

Following are three examples for setting up alarm rules. The first example is a basic alarm rule, and the second and third examples are more complex.

Example 1: Basic Alarm Rule

Scenario: We want a door alarm contact to:

1. Flash an OSD message (***ALARM 1***) on the display when the alarm is triggered.

2. Move the AutoDome camera to a saved position. (For this example Shot 7.)

3. Transmit a Bilinx signal over the coax cable to the headend system, such as an Allegiant, to trigger an alarm response.

The sequence to program the above alarm rule example is as follows:

1. Wire the door contact to Input 1 in the AutoDome. This circuit is normally open.

2. Define the Alarm Input(s) – From the Inputs Setup menu, ensure that Alarm Input 1 is set to N.O. (This is the

default setting for Input 1.)

NOTICE! For instruction on wiring alarm and relay connections, see the VG5 AutoDome Installation Manual.

3. Define the Alarm Outputs from the Outputs Setup menu: a. Ensure Output 5 is set to OSD. (This is the default setting for Output 5.) b. Set Output 6 to Shot 7. c. Set Output 7 to Transmit (a Bilinx signal to the head end).

F.01U.270.005 | 2.0 | 2012.06 User Manual Bosch Security Systems, Inc.

Page 45

AutoDome 600 Series Analog PTZ Camera Advanced Features | en 45

4. Set up the Alarm Rule (for this example use Rule 1). Select the Inputs from the Rule Setup menu: a. Select Rule 1. b. Set the first input to Alarm Input 1.

5. Select the outputs: a. Set the first output to OSD. b. Set the second output to Shot 7. c. Set the third output to Transmit.

6. Enable the rule: – Highlight Enabled and select YES.

Example 2: Advanced Alarm Rule

Scenario: A VG5 AutoDome located at an airport is set to AutoPan Between Limits from the parking garage to the airport terminal. The gate entering the airport has an alarm contact connected to the AutoDome, and the perimeter fence in the area of the gate has an infrared (IR) motion detection sensor connected to the AutoDome. When both the gate contact and motion detector alarms are activated at the same time, we want the alarm rule to:

1. Flash an OSD message (***ALARM 2***) on the monitor.

2. Stop the AutoPan and move the camera to a saved position (Shot 5) viewing the fence.

3. Turn on AutoTrack.

4. Transmit a Bilinx signal to the head end system to trigger an alarm response.

The sequence to program this alarm rule example is as follows:

1. Wire and set the alarm Input(s). a. Wire the motion detector to Input 1. (This circuit is normally open.) b. Wire the gate alarm contact to Input 5. (This circuit is normally closed.)

NOTICE!

For instruction on wiring alarm and relay connections, see the AutoDome Modular Camera System Installation Manual.

2. From the Inputs Setup menu: a. Ensure Input 1 (the motion detector) is set to N.O. (This setting is the default for

Input 1.)

b. Ensure Input 5 (the gate contact) is set to N.C.

3. Set the alarm Outputs from the Outputs Setup menu: a. Set Output 5 to OSD. b. Set Output 6 to Transmit. c. Set Output 7 to Shot 5. d. Set Output 8 to AutoTrack.

4. Set up the Alarm Rule (for this example use Rule 2). Select the alarm Inputs: a. From the Rule Setup menu select Rule 2. b. Set the first input to Alarm Input 1. (The motion detector.) c. Set the second input to Alarm Input 5. (The gate alarm contact.)

5. Select the alarm Outputs: a. Set the first output to OSD. b. Set the second output to Shot 5 viewing the fence. c. Set the third output to AutoTrack and select Latched. d. Set the fourth output to Transmit (a Bilinx signal to the headend).

6. Enable the alarm Rule: – Highlight Enabled and select YES.

16. Select 5 sec from the Output Period drop-down list. This option instructs the AutoDome to turn off the AutoTrack feature after five seconds from when the tracked object is out of view.

7.2 AutoTrack Operation

The AutoDome features enhanced AutoTrack software with more versatility and smoother object tracking. AutoTrack continuously follows an individual even if the person passes behind a Privacy Mask. When used with Virtual Mask, it is able to ignore predefined areas of background motion. You can manually start AutoTrack or program the AutoDome to automatically turn on AutoTrack. – Manual

– Enter the keyboard command ON-78-ENTER. – In Pelco Mode, open the Main menu, select the Advanced menu, and then select

AutoTrack On.

– Automatic

– During a pre-position tour. –During AutoPan. – AutoDome activates AutoTrack after a period of Inactivity (Return to Scene 1 or

Return to Previous Aux), if AutoTrack is programmed for these activities.

NOTICE!

For proper operation AutoTrack requires that the camera height be set in the software. Open the Bosch Main menu, select the Advanced menu and select Camera Height to enter the height.

7.2.1 AutoTrack Settings and Recommendations

AutoTrack operates by recognizing an individual in motion and zooms-in to approximately 50% of the field of view for an average target height of six feet. In addition to the camera height, other factors may interfere with AutoTrack operation.

Setting the Camera Height

To ensure smooth tracking set the Camera Height accurately. Bosch recommends a minimum camera height of 3.6 m (12 ft).

1. Press OFF-90-ENTER to turn off the command lock.?

2. Press ON-46-ENTER to access the Main Menu.?

3. Use the joystick to highlight the Advanced menu.?

4. Press Focus/Iris to open the menu.?

5. Highlight the Camera Height option and press the Focus/Iris button.?

6. Enter a value between 3.6 m (12 ft) and 30.7 m (100 ft).

7. Press Focus/Iris again to accept the camera height value.

8. Exit the Advanced menu; then exit the Main menu.

Ensuring Smooth AutoTrack Operation

Factors such as the viewing angle and unwanted motion (from trees, for example) may interfere with AutoTrack operation. Use the following recommendations to ensure smooth AutoTrack operation:

F.01U.270.005 | 2.0 | 2012.06 User Manual Bosch Security Systems, Inc.

Page 49

AutoDome 600 Series Analog PTZ Camera Advanced Features | en 49

– Mount/Mounting Surface Stability

– Mount the camera in the most stable position. Avoid locations affected by vibrations,

such as those caused by a roof-top air conditioner. These vibrations may cause complications when the camera zooms-in on a target.

– Use the pendant arm mount, if possible. This mount option provides the most

stability for the camera.

– Use guy wires to protect against strong winds if using the parapet mount.

– Field of View

– Select a location and viewing angle that allows the flow of people to move across

the camera’s field of view. – Avoid motion that moves directly towards the camera. – Avoid locations that attract large numbers of people, such as retail stores or

intersections.

– Unwanted Motion

– Use the Virtual Masking feature (see Section 7.3 Virtual Masking, page 50) to mask

unwanted motion from trees or cars.

Bosch recommends that you draw the virtual mask 10% larger than the object to be

masked.

– Avoid neon lights, flashing lights, night time lights, and reflected light (from a

window or mirror, for example). The flickering of these lights can affect the

AutoTrack operation. Use a Virtual Mask to hide these type of lights if they cannot be

avoided. – Check the virtual mask periodically to ensure that it still covers the entire object to

be masked. Adjust the mask if necessary.

7.2.2 AutoTrack Optimization

The AutoDome achieves optimum tracking performance when the focal length of the lens during AutoPan is as close to the focal length of the lens during an AutoTrack operation. The ambient light conditions also affect the AutoTrack performance.

Dynamic Light Conditions

The ambient lighting conditions affect AutoTrack performance, especially in outdoor dynamic lighting conditions that change daily or hourly. To optimize the AutoTrack performance under changing light conditions, Bosch recommends that you configure the AutoTrack Sensitivity and the AutoPan speeds. Bosch recommends setting the AutoTrack Sensitivity to Auto and suggests the following AutoPan speed for outdoor conditions:

Camera Focal Length Maximum Suggested AutoPan Speed

Near-field (Wide Angle) 5

Mid-field 2

Far-field (Telephoto) 1

If you need a higher AutoPan speed, set the AutoTrack Sensitivity to a value between 1 and 10 in the Advanced Feature Setup menu.

(degrees/sec)

6. Access the PTZ Setup menu.

7. Select the AutoPan option and change the parameter to one of the suggested values in the table above.

8. Exit the AutoPan menu. Then, exit the PTZ Setup menu and finally exit the Main menu.

Consistent Light Conditions

You may use higher AutoPan speeds in consistent indoor or outdoor ambient light conditions, but Bosch recommends not exceeding a speed of more than 15 degrees/sec. Then modify the AutoTrack Sensitivity setting to reach the optimal results.

7.3 Virtual Masking

Virtual Masking is a unique Bosch technology that allows you to create an “invisible” area that ignores unwanted background motion. These invisible masks are similar to privacy zones, except that the AutoDome AutoTrack and Motion Detection algorithms can see them. – To configure a Virtual Mask, open the Main menu, select the Advanced menu, then select

Virtual Masking. To setup a Virtual Mask follow the on-screen menu instructions.

– In Pelco Mode, open the Main menu, select the Advanced menu, then select Virtual

Masking. To setup a Virtual Mask follow the on-screen menu instructions.

NOTICE!

Draw the mask 10% larger than the object to ensure that the mask completely covers the object as the AutoDome zooms in and out.

7.4 Privacy Masking

Privacy Masking is used to block out a specific area of a scene from being viewed. Mask choices include black, white, or blurred, and can be configured with three, four, or five corners to cover more complex shapes.

NOTICE!

Privacy Masking does not hinder AutoTrack from tracking an object.

– To configure a Privacy Mask, open the Main menu, select Display Setup, and then select

Privacy Mask. Alternatively, enter the keyboard command ON-87-ENTER. To setup a privacy mask, follow the on-screen menu instructions.

–In Pelco Mode open the Pelco Main menu, open the Bosch menu, select the Display

Setup menu, and finally select Privacy Masking. To setup a privacy mask, follow the onscreen menu instructions.

7.5 Motion Detection with Region of Interest (Preset positions 90 through 99)

With the VG5 Series AutoDome, the motion detection software can be configured to create a Region of Interest within multiple preset positions or scenes. It can take advantage of Virtual Masking to ignore motion in predefined areas. Motion Detection can also be used as an Alarm Rule input. Preset positions 90 through 99 are reserved for programming motion detection scenes.

NOTICE!

Motion Detection always takes precedence over AutoTrack object tracking.

To set up a scene with Motion Detection:

1. Choose an unused Preset position from 90 to 99. For this example use Preset scene 95.

2. Enter the keyboard command SET-95-ENTER.

3. Select YES at the Apply Motion Detection? prompt. (If NO is selected, the Preset scene

does not activate Motion Detection.)

4. Select YES at the Apply Region of Interest? prompt. (If NO is selected, the entire scene is

used for Motion Detection.)

5. Follow the on-screen menu instructions to construct the shape of the screen area you

want to detect motion within.

NOTICE! Up to five (5) anchor points can be used to form the area which you want to detect motion within. Motion Detection is not activated until the Preset scene is recalled. The Motion Detection icon "M" appears in the upper left-hand corner of the display.

7.6 Image Stabilization

Image Stabilization becomes increasingly important as zoom ranges are extended. The advanced image stabilization algorithms of the VG5 Series AutoDome eliminate camera shake for exceptional image clarity. Bosch achieves this clarity without reducing camera sensitivity or picture quality. – To configure image stabilization, open the Main menu, select the Advanced menu, and

then select Stabilization to turn on the feature.

– In Pelco Mode open the Main menu, select the Advanced menu, and then select

Stabilization to turn on the feature.

7.7 Pre-position Tour

The VG5 Series AutoDome features (2) preset tours. Each preset scene is saved for playback later. Tour 1 is a standard tour that only recalls the scenes in the exact sequence they were shot. Scenes can be added or deleted on the tour, but the sequence cannot be changed. To add or remove scenes on Tour 1 enter the keyboard command SHOT-900-ENTER and follow the on- screen instructions. Tour 2 is a customizable tour that allows you to rearrange the sequence of scenes on the tour by inserting and deleting scenes. To enter the Edit Tour 2 menu, enter the keyboard command SET-900-ENTER and follow the on-screen instructions.

7.8 Azimuth, Elevation, and Compass Directions

The VG5 AutoDome allows a user to display the azimuth and elevation position, and the compass heading of the camera. The AutoDome displays the position data in the lower-right corner of the image display. These readings are described as:

Azimuth: The pan angle from zero to 359 degrees in one degree increments. An azimuth

of zero degrees corresponds to North.

Elevation: The tilt position from zero (horizon) to –90 degrees (camera pointing straight

down) in one degree increments.

Compass: The cardinal or intercardinal (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW) heading in which the

camera is pointing.

The AutoDome uses the azimuth to determine the compass direction. The following table shows the azimuth range and its corresponding compass heading:

Azimuth Range Compass Direction

21° to 65° NE (Northeast) 66° to 110° E (East) 111° to 155° SE (Southeast) 156° to 200° S (South) 201° to 245° SW (Southwest) 246° to 290° W (West) 291° to 335° NW (Northwest) 336° to 20° N (North)

7.8.1 Setting the Azimuth Zero Point

The installer must calibrate the Azimuth Zero point. The AutoDome uses the Azimuth Zero point, usually set to magnetic North, as the zero degree pan position and as the North compass heading. The AutoDome then displays the azimuth reading and the compass heading based on the number of degrees from the Azimuth Zero point. To set the Azimuth Zero point:

1. Determine the North compass heading, then move the camera to that position.

2. Press OFF-90-ENTER to turn off the command lock (if active).

3. Press ON-94-ENTER to set the Azimuth Zero point.

CAUTION!

Bosch recommends that only the installer calibrate the Azimuth Zero point. A recalibration to the Azimuth Zero point may cause inaccurate compass headings.

7.8.2 Displaying Azimuth, Elevation, and Compass Headings

You can display only the azimuth/elevation readings or only the compass reading, or you can display both readings at the same time. The AutoDome displays the azimuth/elevation readings and the compass heading in the following way:

180 / –45 S

where: – 180 is the Azimuth or the pan location in degrees. – –45 is the Elevation or the tilt location in degrees. – S is the compass direction (cardinal or intercardinal).

1. Press ON-95-ENTER to display the azimuth/elevation reading.

2. Press ON-96-ENTER to display the compass heading.

3. Press OFF-95-ENTER to hide the azimuth/elevation reading.

4. Press OFF-96-ENTER to hide the compass heading.

7.9.1 AutoHome Recalibration Operation

Recalibration occurs when the AutoDome loses its home position or after the specified time interval has elapsed. Once a recalibration event occurs, the AutoDome will delay the start of the recalibration for15 minutes to ensure that all manual commands have ceased. Manual control is defined as a pan or tilt movement. If after the initial 15-minute delay the AutoDome is still under manual control, the unit delays the start of recalibration for another 15 minutes. It is recommended to set the Inactivity (AUX ON 9) to Shot 1 or to Previous AUX so the AutoDome returns to a preset position or starts a tour after the recalibration process is complete. The AutoHome recalibration behaves in the following manner under specific circumstances: – AutoTracker

If the AutoDome is actively tracking an object with AutoTracker when the interval elapses or a loss of home is detected, the unit will delay recalibration until the AutoTracker stops tracking.

– Preset or Recorded Tour

If the AutoDome is performing a preset or playback of a recorded tour when the interval elapses or a loss of home is detected, the unit will start the recalibration process immediately. If the Inactivity command (AUX ON 9) is set to Return to AUX, the unit will resume the tour after the recalibration process is complete.

7.9.2 Using the AutoHome Recalibration

Use the following procedure for the initial setup of the AutoHome Recalibration:

1. Issue the AUX ON 680 command to check the status of the recalibration settings. This command displays a status screen that shows the following information:

Setting Values

Status Enabled

Disabled

Mode Loss

Loss + Interval Interval 6 - 72 hours, in 6-hour increments Initial Offset 4 - 20 hours, in 4-hour increments Number of Recals Total number of homing recalibrations performed due to loss of home or

interval Next Cal Shows the days, hours, minutes, and seconds until the next homing

recalibration

2. Set the Recalibration Mode to recalibrate on the loss of home and after every interval: – Issue the AUX ON 682 command. – Issue the AUX ON 682 command again.

Note: The AUX ON 682 command must be issued twice only for the initial setup. Each subsequent AUX ON 682 command toggles the mode as described in the table above.

3. Set the Recalibration Interval by issuing the AUX ON 683 and the AUX OFF 683 commands. For example, to set the Recalibration Interval to 24 hours, issue the AUX ON 683 commands four times.

4. Set the Initial Offset Time by issuing the AUX ON 684 and the AUX OFF 684 commands. For example, to set the Initial Offset Time to 8 hours, issue the AUX ON 684 command twice.

5. Issue the AUX ON 681 command to enable the recalibration routine.
