Programmable Features
The Dedicated Micros 2060 Camera has a number of features which can be selected by the System
Supervisor when the dome is installed. Any of these can be altered subsequently, or cancelled altogether, to
give the best operational responses for any particular application. They are invoked or cancelled through onscreen menu structures and the settings are then retained in non-volatile memory so that they are not affected
by a loss of power.
The features, and what they offer, are described below:
Preset Positions
Up to 200 positions can be stored and recalled at any time. Each position stores the Pan, Tilt, Zoom, and
Focus positions as well as the position title.
Preset Position Titles
Each preset position title can have up to 20 alphanumeric characters to identify the associated position
uniquely. The default title position lies at the top left hand corner of the video picture, left justied, but this can
be altered if required.
The preset position titles only appear at the position they identify: any movement from that position will remove
them.
Tours
Up to 100 tours can be stored and recalled at any time. Each tour can contain up to 16 positions together with
a ‘Dwell’ time at each position plus the ‘Travel Time’ that the dome unit must take to reach the next position.
When the last position in the tour is reached, the tour ‘loops’ back to the rst position.
Real Time Clock
The Dedicated Micros 2060/N dome camera is tted with a real time clock to provide time and date marks for
the operator and the recording system if required. A range of selectable formats can provide time and date
displays and the unit is able to use the information to provide enhanced alarm functions where the reaction to
an alarm can be modied depending on the time of day or the day of the week.
Alarm Response
Up to 100 Alarm responses can be stored. Each alarm response creates a specied reaction to an alarm
number. This is a very powerful feature, allowing a number of domes, or any other device conforming to the
Dedicated Micros protocol, to invoke a pre-set alarm action from one single loop broadcast command.
Bottom Flip
The dome will automatically pan through 180 degrees as fast as possible when tilted fully down so that it is
possible to follow a person or car, moving directly underneath the dome, with only a single joystick direction to
consider.
Camera Mode
The camera can be switched between color and monochrome mode and can be selected as color/mono to
automatically switch to mono when the light level is insufcient for good quality color pictures.
Digital Zoom Extension
The camera system allows an extension of the optical zoom by selecting more of the central part of the picture
and expanding this to ll the frame. This feature is selectable.
Dome Selection Cursor
The menu structure itself, and the choices and selections offered, are searched and invoked by a single cursor
or ashing character and the direction in which this moves depends on the particular control panel in use. The
direction of movement can be reversed separately for horizontal and vertical movement if required.
Text Positioning and Selection
All text can be positioned where it is wanted, replaced with default text (eg: Position 31, or Sector 18), or
removed as required.
Joystick Range
Even if the control panel has a wide range proportional joystick output, the dome has such a wide speed range
that both a fast and a slow speed range are needed to realize the full performance (provided of course that the
control panel in question has a facility to invoke these separately).
The slow speed range is simply the same as the fast speed range following the same in-built correlation law,
but divided by a constant. This constant can be set between 2 and 128.
Host polling
When the dome is congured for communication using RS485 protocols it can be set to check its
communication link at regular intervals. If a continuous data stream is expected from the controller, enabling
Host Polling will get the dome to report a communications error if nothing is received for 5 seconds. Normally,
this setting is disabled.
