Introduction

The Oracle Dome from Dedicated Micros provides unrivalled integration with the latest generation of DV-IP DVRs.

This incredible integration capability is matched by the wide range of models available. With indoor,

outdoor, analogue and IP mode, the Oracle Series gives total exibility with Day/Night and Colour only domes offering optical zoom capabilities of up to 36x. Compatible with existing Dedicated Micros 2060/2040 brackets and accessories, the Oracle Series can easily t into existing installations with

minimal installation required.

The Oracle Series greatly enhances the users experience by enabling powerful features such as the

revolutionary Point&Go capability. Point&Go provides the operator with easy to use, on-screen telemetry control. Users are able to have Pan & Tilt control of an attached DM Oracle Dome simply by clicking an area of the screen - the camera will instantly respond, centrally positioning the selected area..

The unit has a comprehensive set of features as standard, which can be tailored for individual preferences. These can be accessed through a local set of web page menus, or directly from the NetVu

Connected server’s web pages.

Features

Point&go provides the user with easy to use, fast, accurate telemetry control via an attached monitor. With no need for a telemetry keyboard, users are able to use Pan & Tilt control of a Dedicated Micros Oracle Dome simply by clicking an area of the monitor. The camera will instantly respond, positioning the selected area in the middle of the screen, ideal for tracking movement through a scene.

ePTZ

Dedicated Micros ePTZ uses an advanced image ‘interpolation’ algorithm that reveals detailed information that simple pixel-stretching digital zoom commands cannot. Users can operate ePTZ as they would Analogue Zoom - moving around the scene and zooming in/out using the IR Remote Control or a supported Keyboard - even on static analogue cameras. Electronic Zoom can be carried out on both live and playback video. Providing the ability to retrospectively control and view an image, a great aid in postevent analysis.

Absolute Positioning

Using Camera Selection Maps and the unique Absolute Positioning capability of Dedicated Micros Oracle Dome cameras, an operator can, with one mouse click, select a camera and send it to view an area of the site (Pan and tilt). Absolute Positioning is ideal for following someone from camera to camera around a site and greatly increases event response time, particularly for operators unfamiliar with a site layout and

camera location.

Conguring the Unit

Dome is congured out of the box for analogue mode. If an ethernet connection is detected, the dome will switch into IP mode, enabling extra features over analogue mode which would not otherwise apply.

It will remain in IP mode, even if the cable is removed, until the dome is reset. On reset it will revert to analogue mode, but will switch back if it detects an ethernet cable. All settings for IP mode will be remembered. If it is in analogue mode and the power is not removed, it will retain the ability to switch on

demand to IP mode as soon as an ethernet cable is tted.

Dome Conguration

The Dome can be congured via the attached DVR. The special software features are available via the interface on DVR’s capable of accessing them (SD Advanced, DV-IP Server, DV-IP RT and DV-IP HD),

refer to the documentation for individual DVRs for further details.

The Dome has advanced features that include Point and Go, Privacy masking, Presets, Sectors and

Patrols. along with Camera and Event settings. Not all of these will be available on all DVR’s.

List of DVR’s required to utilise advanced programming features

• SD Advanced, DV-IP Server, DV-IP HD and DV-IP RT running Gen3 pages.

Using the Unit with Secure Closed IPTV

1) Connect the camera to a Closed IP Network switch using Cat5 network cable. The POE

version of this camera will draw power from the DM/NSW/CPP model switch, or from the DM/ NSW/CP model switch if connected to a POE injector and separate power supply, or the 24V (AC or DC) IP variant.

2) Ensure that the Closed IP NVR or Console that the switch is connected to is in Conguration

mode to allow new cameras to connect.

3) Power up the camera and wait for the on-screen acknowledgement on the monitor attached

to the Closed IP NVR or Console. Alternatively check the Camera Overview web page on the Closed IP NVR or Console to determine out the camera status.

4) Once the camera has been detected and added, remember to secure the switch by moving

out of Conguration mode, failure to do this will leave the Closed IPTV system unsecured.

Locating the Unit IP address

The unit is congured using on-board webpages. This can be done remotely once the unit has been installed in its chosen location.

There are two methods to access the settings on an Oracle dome.

1) The unit has an infra red receiver suitable for use with a Dedicated Micros DVR remote

control provided with all Dedicated Micros DVRs and NVRs, which can access and display the onboard webpages locally via the video output. This remote control capability is automatically turned off after 10 minutes of inactivity if the menus are not being displayed. This timeout can be adjusted in the menus for a shorter, longer or indenite period. DM IR remote controls are available to purchase separately (DM/RC06), please contact your preferred supplier or DM customer support in your region.

Oracle Dome

Page 19

2) Using the web browser on a PC in the same subnet as the unit. The unit conguration pages can be accessed using the unit IP address or DNS name. The unit has DHCP factory enabled. When the unit is connected to a DHCP network for the rst time, an IP address is automatically assigned by the network switch or router it is connected to. Most routers will have the facility to enable DHCP and DNS, if it is not available, contact your network

administrator.

The default DNS address for each unit is factory set as the serial number. This address can be found on the serial label on the unit or via the packaging the unit came in.

If DHCP and DNS are not available, the IP address can be found by connecting an analogue monitor to the balanced video output connection of the camera. The unit IP address is displayed on the analogue video output for 10 minutes from powering the unit on.

The DNS or IP address can be typed directly into the address bar of a web browser.

Note: The DNS address of the unit can be edited to something more memorable or meaningful than the

serial number by editing the System Name option in the System Attributes page.

Zero_conf conguration

If a permanent IP address is not assigned to the unit, it will attempt to contact the DHCP server every time it starts up, and periodically thereafter. The unit support zero-conguration networking (sometimes known as Bonjour), this enables automatic discovery of computers, devices, and services on IP networks. Zero-conguration uses industry standard IP protocols to allow devices to automatically discover each other without the need to enter IP addresses or congure DNS servers. By loading a suitable free addon to your web browser such as Bonjour for Windows for Internet Explorer or DNSSD for FireFox zero conguration devices such as this unit can easily be discovered and accessed.

Installation Guide

Accessing the Conguration Pages

The unit is congured using the on-board conguration pages. To access these:

1. Launch a web browser, preferably on a PC on the same subnet as the unit or use the infrared remote control and a monitor connected to the dome video output.

External Dome : connect an analogue monitor to the video out connectors in the interface

box via a balun.

Internal Dome : via the composite output on the connector block of the internal dome.

Refer to ‘Installation’ chapter wiring schematics for connection information.

AoE

This menu allows conguration of the units ATA over Ethernet (AoE) function. AoE is a network protocol

designed for simple high-performance access of storage devices over Ethernet networks. Importantly the

external storage device must be located on the same network as the unit. AoE does not rely on network layers such as IP and TCP, making it non routable i.e. routers cannot be used to forward a packet across

disparate networks. AoE packets can only travel within a single local Ethernet storage area network (adds a physical layer of security to the information). The stored video can only be accessed by plugging directly into an ethernet socket in the same LAN as the host. This means AoE cannot be accessed over the Internet or other IP networks, but makes AoE more lightweight (with less load on the host), easier to implement, provides a layer of inherent security, and offers higher performance.

On MPEG transmission, increasing the pictures sent will also reduce the quality of the images (as more images are transmitted for the dened bit rate).

Multicast

The Multicast page allows video from the unit’s camera inputs to be forwarded to a port address, enabling

multiple viewers to view live data using a suitable media player without the need to directly connect to

the unit. In multi viewing scenarios, the demands on the unit are signicantly reduced, improving overall

performance.

This system has been validated using the ‘Videolan VLC media player for MS Windows. The Videolan VLC media player can be downloaded free of charge from:

www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html

Please refer to Appendix D for guidance on conguring the Videolan VLC media player.

Note: Multicast can only used for live viewing, requests for stored images and events will still need to

be made via the Viewer menu.

Separate IP for each camera Select to transmit each camera with a different multicast address and

the default port number.

Multicast Address Assign a unique IP address. This address is not assigned to any

‘physical’ unit. The VLC program will use this address (when congured to do so) as its multicast group and access any broadcast images via the congured port address (see below).

If there are multiple units using multicast, each one must have a unique

IP address.

Text

The Text menus allow conguration of the unit’s text in image and keywords functionality, refer to the

individual menus for further details.

The Text In Image page allows the unit to integrate text data with recorded images i.e. a cash register with

a camera positioned at the point of sale.

The Keyword page can be used in conjunction with the Text in Image function. A Keyword can be entered,

which when detected, will trigger an alarm.
