DS1-PL Features

PTZ Mode

This mode allows the use of Pan/Tilt/Zoom cameras while operating in the VMD mode. The unit electronically monitors the entire video image and if the entire screen is moving simultaneously then this is determined to be a PTZ moving. The VMD is disabled until the PTZ comes to rest and then enables the VMD function after a programmable period of time.

Tracking Modes

The popular “Trace” modes of the DS1-PL have been enhance to allow motion tracking to be displayed and saved on the screen. Unlike other units that have arrows or boxes we actually display the form outline of the motion tracking target, so the user can easily identify friend or foe and travel direction.

TCP/IP LAN Compatibility

The DS1-PL and DS-16 Rack now can be easily added to networked systems via the new LAN adapter using UDP protocol of standard ethernet LAN systems. This adds convenience and flexibility in large enterprise or proprietary systems.

DSVMD Windows Software

New and improved features of the powerful Windows based programming and control software. Fully compatible with our TCP/IP LAN and interface and included with at no additional charge.

Watchdog Timer Output

The DS1-Pl can be programmed to give a periodic signal output to inform other equipment the VMD is continuously online via this hardware signal. The DS1-PL always had a Watchdog timer input to monitor other equipment when they are operational via our Alarm input function.

Video Loss Mode

This mode has added some programming features to make the video loss mode more flexible when interfacing with other equipment down the line.

Alarm Process

The alarm modes have also been enhanced to allow for dwell or timed modes for ease in interfacing to other alarming devices.

Connecting the Video

Type of Cameras

Precautions

The DS1-PL functions best with high quality video cameras. Cameras must be securely locked down so the picture is stable and jitter free. If the picture jitters or the DS1-PL character display jitters, the DS1-PL may false trigger. If the camera has any sync or phase adjustments, try adjusting these first.

T o select the right camera for your application (i.e. indoor, outdoor, low light, no light), you should consider the advantages and disadvantages of each type.

CCD

High quality CCD cameras will work well with the DS1-PL. The higher the resolution, the more precise the motion detection. CCD cameras work equally well in both indoor and outdoor environments. It is recommended that B&W CCD cameras be using in outdoor applications due to their increased resolution. B&W low light level CCD cameras should be used in low light conditions. CCD cameras are sensitive to Infrared (IR) light and can be used for night vision with the aid of an Infrared Illuminator.

Infrared cameras should be used for no light applications or very sensitive night vision applications. IR cameras are better equipped for night vision than CCD cameras.

Cable

It is important that you use the proper cable type and installation procedures when installing the cameras and your DS1PL. Make sure you use standard RG-59U coaxial cable with at least 95% braided shield for video transmission.

When installing, make sure that you do not run the cable near any power lines for they may cause interference in the video transmission. If you are cabling between floors or long distances, use conduit to protect the cable from interference. Proper protection of the video cable from external power interference, weather, and water is important to ensure a clear transmission of video signal and reliable motion detection.

Grounding problems between the various components of a video system may cause noise or hum bars to appear in the video image. This must be eliminated by properly grounding all equipment to an earth ground and making sure all shields are intact in all video coaxial cables. Grounding problems will effect the reliability of motion detection.

Lighting & Enviromental Conditions

Unless a camera is in a controlled environment, fluctuations in conditions will occur. The DS1-PL provides the flexibility to configure the Video Motion Detector for two separate sets of conditions.

Day/Night

The DS1-PL works in both the day and night environments. But, each may require different configurations. The DS1-PL provides two sets of settings that can be programmed by the user. One group of settings can be used for day settings and the other for night settings or for whatever other conditions the user wishes to set them for. Night settings require higher sensitivity, lower trigger levels, and shorter tracking times, making the DS1-PL more sensitive to motion. The Day/Night mode may be toggled from day to night by giving a relay closure to ground on the Day/Night input – Pin 8 or using the Day/Night timer to switch modes at a predetermined time.

Refer to Table 1 for more information.

Florescent Lighting

Gradual or sudden lighting changes, video noise, intermittence or glitches in video lines, or power surges can be ignored by the DS1-PL. To compensate for such occurrences a balance must be reached in the configuration of the motion criteria (see Motion Criteria). Fluorescent light may result in high speed flickering when a CCD camera is used. V arious cameras have shutter selections for flickerless option or you may have to disable the Auto White balance feature on DC versions. Another solution is to change the lighting ballast to an electronic one that operates at a higher frequency than the video sync signal.

Video Input / Output

The video input and output are located on the rear of the unit. (see Figure 1). The video input connects to the video source via the left BNC connector. The video output connects to a display , recording device, switcher , or other equipment via the right BNC connector. Both the input and output are 1 V P-P into 75 ohms unbalanced EIA st andard RS-170A / NTSC or CCIR / P AL video format. Improper input termination or looping will cause the video level to be too low and ef fect the motion detection. Improper output termination will make the image or the video recording poor.

Connecting the Alarms

Alarm Output

The unit has one Form-C alarm output with normally open (N/O) and normally closed N/C configurations. It will produce a closure and open whenever an alarm occurs. An alarm occurs when the DS1-PL detects motion or there is video loss and the alarm has been enabled by pressing the ALARM ON-OFF button (red LED on). The contacts remain closed or open for the duration programmed in the Relay Hold time. If the unit is set with a Relay Hold time of zero, no alarm will be produced. The location of the alarm output connector is seen in Figure 1 and the pin-out configuration for the DB-15 connector is seen in T able 1. An alarm connector adapter is provided with the unit. All signals of the DB-15 connector can be connected to this adapter via the screw terminals.

Some equipment may require a dry contact closure (normally open). Connect such equipment to the N/O and common leads. For a normally closed alarm, connect between the N/C and common leads. There is no polarity; so these leads may be swapped around or AC voltages used. Other equipment may require a closure to ground. In this case, a ground connection will be provided on such equipment. Connect the common lead to ground and the N/O lead to the input of the equipment. There is no voltage on the alarm connectors of the DS1-PL. No damage can be done by incorrect wiring except exceeding the current or voltage rating.

Day/Night Inputs

The Day/Night input switches settings from day settings to night when the unit receives a closure to ground on the external contact input. If left open, day settings will be effective. An external timer, switch or photo cell can be used to

switch from day to night.

RS-232

The DS1-PL has an RS-232 interface for motion analysis and system configuration and operation that can be used in conjunction with a PC or any RS-232C transmitting device. The DSVMD Windows based software gives complete programming and operational command to the DS1-PL. The standard command set can be used to integrate control functions within the users proprietary system for total system solution. See the Serial Protocol section on page 44 for the complete command set.

Connecting the Power

The DS1-PL operates from a DC supply range from 7V to 15V DC. The power input connector, a standard 2.1mm x

5.5mm power jack, must have positive (+) on the center and negative (- or ground) on the outer shell. The unit is reverse protected and correct polarity is indicated by the green Power LED being lit on the front panel.

For mobile operation a negative ground system is required. The unit may be operated from regular household power with the appropriate adapter.

DIGITAL VIDEO MOTION DETECTOR

Page 11

DESCRIPTION

The DS1-PL is most commonly used for single channel systems requiring precision video motion detection. An alarm output can be used to trip an event or time lapse recorder into real-time recording. An external timer can be used to toggle the DS1-PL between Day and Night modes. Since the unit is 12V DC, it is perfect for covert surveillance applications. An optional RS-232 remote communicating device can be used for programming and operation remotely.

Operation

Four buttons on the front panel give full control of the unit. All settings are guided by on-screen prompt s. Simply press the MENU button and follow the on-screen instructions.

The five LED’s indicate the state of the unit. The green Power LED indicates the unit is connected to the appropriate power source. The red ALARM LED indicates the unit is armed when solid and alarmed when flashing. The yellow LED above the MENU button indicates the unit is in the set-up mode. The green LED above the D/N button is lit when the unit is in the day mode and off when in the night mode. The yellow LED above the LOG button is lit when the unit is displaying the Log Page on-screen.

Button Operation

The DS1-PL has 4 buttons, with associated LED’s, to provide all necessary functions. There are four modes of operation of the DS1-PL

1) Normal Running Mode

2) Programming Mode

3) Day/Night Mode

4) Log Mode

1) Normal Running Mode Button Functions

In this mode, the DS1-PL is processing alarms (if enabled) and displaying the date-time (if enabled). The button functions which are written

below each button, and are as follows

Alarm Button The Alarm button toggles between alarm enabled or disabled. When the alarm is enabled, the

DS1-PL will generate alarms whenever the motion detector qualifies valid motion. When the alarm is disabled, all motion will be ignored. There are 2 indicators which display the alarm enable/disable status.The red LED on the Alarm button will be lit during alarm enabled and will be off during alarm disable. On-screen, the Alarm enabled status will display “A” if alarms are enabled, and “a” if alarms are disabled.

If an alarm is active (i.e. the DS1-PL is generating an alarm) the red LED will be flashing. Pressing the Alarm button will clear the alarm. Every time the Alarm button is pressed thereafter, alarms will toggle between enabled/ disabled again.

Operation

Note

The 3 On-Off timers will override the front panel alarm enable/disable toggle when their start or stop times are reached. If you want to manually control the enabling from the front panel, you should disable all 3 On-Off timers, in the Timers Menu.

Program Button The Program button starts the programming mode, which brings up the Main Menu on screen

with a blue back ground. The yellow LED will be lit while in this mode.

Day/Night Button The Day/Night button toggles between day and night settings. The DS1-PL can be programmed

for two indepen dent settings, called Day and Night, but these do not necessarily mean programming is required for Day and Night. It could be any time of the day or if there is any need to switch between two programmed settings. There are 2 indicators which display the Day/ Night status. The green LED on the Day/Night button will be lit during Day settings and will be off during night settings. On-screen, the Day/Night status will display “d” during day settings and “n” during night settings.

Log Button The Log button displays the Log Page on-screen on a green background. This displays the

most recent 160 alarm events, with their dates and times. Pressing the left/right buttons scrolls forwards of backwards through the log. Pressing the Menu button prints the complete log. Pressing the Clear button reverts back to normal running operation. The yellow LED will be lit above this button while in the Log Display mode.

2) Programming Mode Button Functions

n this mode the DS1-PL is being set up. The yellow LED on the Menu button will be lit, and the screen will have a blue background (except for zone pattern settings). The button functions are as follows:

Clear Button The Clear button is used to leave menu one level up or revert back to normal running operation

if current page is main menu page. If any changes were made, they will be saved to non-volatile memory and these changes will take immediate effect on the operation of the DS1-PL.

Menu Button The Menu button steps through the programming options which are displayed on screen with

flashing prompts.Each time the menu button is pressed, the next prompt will flash indicating that you may set this prompt. At the end of each menu p age, the last prompt will wrap around to the top of the page (the first prompt).

Left Button The Left button is used to set the prompt by reducing its value if it is numeric, or sequencing

backwards if it is a text prompt. During zone pattern settings, the cursor will move to the left. If you hold the Left button pressed for longer than a second, many of the settings will automatically change 3 times per second, or the zone pattern cursor will move left at a rate of 5 times per second.

Right Button The Right button is used to set the prompt by increasing its value if it is numeric, or sequencing

forwards if it is a text prompt. During zone pattern settings, the cursor will move to the right. If you hold the Right button pressed for longer than a second, many of the settings will automatically change 3 times per second, or the zone pattern cursor will move right at a rate of 5 times per second.

3) Day/Night Mode

The DS1-PL has two sets of programming setups, one for Day and one for Night. The Green LED above the D/N button when lit signifies the unit is in the Day mode. When the light is not lit the unit is in the Night mode.This light can be controlled by the front panel button D/N, RS-232 command, or external input when selected as Day/Night input or the internal timer.

4) Log Mode

The Log mode is constantly enabled and every event is recorded into the Log memory . When the Log memory is full to its maximum of 160 events, the oldest event is discarded and the newest event replaces it. To enter the Log Mode, press the LOG button on the front panel. The screen will have a green background and the latest logged events will be present on the screen. Repeatedly press the LOG button to scroll through all the store logged events. Press the D/N button to scroll the opposite direction through the Log File. To exit, press the Alarm button to return to normal operaton. The Log mode can be entered by remote RS-232 operation also.

Video Loss

When video goes missing from the DS1-PL, a red warning background will be displayed with the message flashing “VIDEO LOST” in large characters. If the date-time information is enabled (see the On-Screen Data programming menu), the date and time when video went missing will be inserted under the “VIDEO LOST” message. This will warn an operator of the video loss condition and give the time and date of this occurrence. If the video is recorded to tape, the date and time will provide when the video loss had occurred.

After video has been restored, the DS1-PL checks it s validity , then does a “cold boot” which restores the DS1-PL to its condition prior to video loss. See Section 9., Video Loss for programmig options for this function.

1. Motion Detection Menu

This is the most important set-up for the operation of the motion detector. It is used to adjust criteria for qualifying a valid alarm. There are up to 8 areas which may be defined, and each of these areas has 3 criteria.

The top of the screen is the heading for this menu page, Motion Detection. At the top right corner will be displayed “d” or “n” indicating you are programming the day

or Night settings. Remember to toggle the Day/Night mode (the Day/Night button) prior to programming, to select the Day or Night settings.

The Mode Setting

The Mode setting defines the complexity of the DS1-PL, which is dependent on the scene from the camera. You may analyze up to 8 areas in the image, setting the criteria for each. Or you may want to analyze the direction of moving objects, etc. These are the options in the Mode setting.

Off This disables motion detection. However, alarms may still be triggered from an externals

source if you set the “External Input” prompt to “Alarms”.

Motion - 1 Area This sets up a single area to be analyzed for motion. For those familiar with the DS-1, it will

perform the same in this mode.

Motion - 2 Areas Multiple area analysis for perspective or difficult lighting situations. Each area can have

different criteria set to generate alarms. With 2 areas, one can be made foreground and the other background.

Motion - 3 Areas Same as above with 3 definable areas. Motion - 4 Areas Same as above with 4 definable areas. This mode may be used for the DS1-PL to process a

quad display .

Motion - 5 Areas Same as above with 5 definable areas. Motion - 6 Areas Same as above with 6 definable areas. Motion - 7 Areas Same as above with 7 definable areas. Motion - 8 Areas Same as above with 8 (the maximum) definable areas.

Direction A>B...G>H This causes the DS1-PL to analyze motion moving in a particular direction and to generate an

alarm when such an event occurs. Up to 8 areas are defined, being 4 “source” areas and 4 “destination” areas. Whenever an object moves from any “source” area to its associated “des tination” area, an alarm is generated. Thus any direction can be defined by creating areas A and B, C and D, E and F, G and H in the Zone Pattern setups.

The sequence of events to satisfy direction qualification are: a) Motion in “source” area (A,C,E,G) above their trigger level with motion in “destination” area

below the trigger level....then within the tracking time of “source” and “destination” areas.

b) Motion in “destination” area (B,D,F ,H) above the trigger level. This timing of motion between “source” and “destination” areas may also be used to qualify

motion by the speed of the moving object.

Motionless - 1 Area This causes the DS1-PL to analyze the defined area A, and if motion is less than the trigger

level for the duration set by the tracking time, then an alarm is generated. The primary applica tion is for industrial machine-vision installations where you would typically watch machinery such as a conveyor belt. If the conveyor belt stops moving, an alarm will be generated. Also, this mode may be used to determine if an area has been deserted of people, being an abnormal event.

Motionless - 8 Areas This causes the DS1-PL to analyze each defined area A-H, and if motion is less than the trigger

level for the duration set by their tracking times, then an alarm is generated for this area. Anyalarm will also generate a global alarm output.

. Museum Mode This mode causes the DS1-PL to check the amount of obscurity of areas defined by the Zone

Pattern menu. If an object is removed from the defined area for the duration set by the tracking time, then an alarm is generated. T ypical applications include monitoring pictures in a museum (hence Museum mode). Up to 8 works of art may be covered in this application.

NOTE

If museum mode is selected in operation . The track effect are Memory / S , Memory / A , Memory / AS will not available if these functions have been used then VMD will disable it automatically

PTZ Compatible Mode This mode is a special mode to disable the video motion detection function while a Pan-to-

Zoom (PTZ) is in operation. Zones E,F,G and H are utilized for detection if the PTZ is in

motion. This is done by looking for motion in 3 out of 4 of these preset zones. The trigger ,

tracking, and sensistivity of these reference zones can be programmed by the user for different applications. It is assumed that if 3 of the 4 zones have motion simulta neously

then the entire camera view is changing and motion detection is disabled. The “Alarm Reset

Time” is used here to time-out after the PTZ has stopped completely for video motion detec

tion functions to be initiated. Zones A-D can be programmed as normal for motion detection.

Upon detection of a moving PTZ image, the DS1-PL will display the text “PTZ” in the bottom right-hand of the screen. This will indicate that the video motion detection is disabled and the

unit is in the PTZ mode. Af ter the PTZ has stopped and the relay hold time has expired, normal video motion detection fuctions will resume. This text display can be turned off by

turning off the St atus display via the on-screen programming.

The Three Motion Detection Criteria

Each of the areas up to 8 as indicated by rows A-H is set independently for detecting motion. There are 3 motion detection criteria for qualifying an alarm with respect to size, contrast from background, and duration of motion.

These 3 criteria, named Trigger Level, Sensitivity, and Tracking, are placed in 3 columns so they may be adjusted in a tabular type format where values may be compared to each other to simplify set-up.

Different parts of the screen, depending on distance from the camera, lighting conditions, shadows, etc., may be defined in separate areas using the zone pattern. Then the criteria should be adjusted to match the conditions to qualify an alarm.

The Trigger Level Setting

The Trigger Level setting includes lower trigger & upper trigger are a threshold level, proportional to the size of the moving objects. The motion of objects generate “delta” (which can be observed on the video image if the Trace effect is turned on in the On-Screen Data menu page). The amount of delta is continuously compared to the trigger level, and an alarm is qualified if the motion exceeds this trigger level threshold for a duration (as defined by the tracking time).

Objects further from the camera generate less delta than objects close up. So if the defined area is in the background, you should reduce the trigger level.

There are 3 ways used to assist in setting up the Trigger Level. Firstly, you may set the Status Display mode in the On-Screen Data menu to Area (A-H) Delta. This will display the

actual delta count in the on-screen status display . This number is then used to estimate the size of the moving objects you want the motion detector to trigger. You then set the trigger level to that number. Each of the areas may be set accordingly.

Secondly , you may set the Status Display mode in the On-Screen Dat a menu to Alarm Flags. This will display the status information for all defined areas. After setting the trigger level, observe these status flags. If they change from a “-” (dash) to a letter a-h without sufficient motion, then you should increase the trigger level for that area. If the status flag remains a “-” (dash) with sufficient motion, then you should reduce the trigger level.

Thirdly , (and this comes with practice), you may calculate the desired trigger level. Each zone cell (there are 288 cells) has 432 pixels, or points, that are calculated for delta. If you estimate the size of the object you want to trigger as a ratio to the size of a zone cell and you multiply this by 432, this will give the number of pixels that the object will occupy in the image. This will be the ideal trigger level for that size object. Keep in mind, not all pixels bound by the moving object will generate “delta” pixels. This is because some moving objects will have some content of uniform shades of gray within the object, so these pixels do not generate “delta”.

NOTE

The zones E-H are fixed and the defineable area cannot be changed, only the motion parameters. It is recom mended that the velocity setting be set at least half that of the normal zones but no times set for longer time than any detection zone.

DIGITAL VIDEO MOTION DETECTOR

Page 19

The Sensitivity Setting

The sensitivity setting is a contrast setting which discriminates the moving object from the background and also is a filter to reduce the effects of noise on the video signal. The values in the sensitivity setting are 0-99, where 0 is the least sensitive and 99 is the most sensitive. It is the level of

deviation of the grayscale required to generate a “delta” pixel. The higher the sensitivity setting, the less the deviation required to generate “delta”. This may sound confusing, so just remember, the higher the sensitivity setting, the more sensitive the video motion detector is to detecting moving object s.

Y ou may observe the “delta” effect on-screen by turning on the T race in the On-Screen Data

set-up menu. This is helpful in setting up the sensitivity . If you want to reduce the ef fect of shadows triggering alarms, reduce the sensitivity, then again observe the “delta” effect to see if shadows are generating “delta” pixels.

If you see false “delta”, which is normally produced by noise in the video signal, reduce the sensitivity setting and again observe the “delta” effect to see if the false “delta” has been eliminated.

In low contrast images such as misty or foggy conditions where the moving object blends in closely with the background, you will need to increase the sensitivity setting until sufficient “delta” is generated.

In most cases, however, the sensitivity can be lef t on 50%, the mid point.

The T racking Time Setting

The tracking time measures the duration of motion to qualify an alarm. Whenever the amount of motion exceeds the trigger level, the defined areas are considered “triggered”. If this triggered condition remains for a certain time then an alarm is qualified. This time is an adjustable setting and is called the tracking time because it is the time a triggered object is tracked.

The tracking time is the best way to reduce false alarms in outdoors scenes. This is because most natural motion from trees, insects, birds, etc. are erratic and their motion is not sustained long enough to qualify an alarm. A person however has more “intent”, having a defined objective to move from point a to point b in a desired time. Objects moving with “intent” can therefore be separated from objects with little or no “intent”.

Obviously when the object is further away from the camera it would take a longer time to traverse the image than if it were in the foreground. This can be used as an advantage to qualify distant motion by increasing the tracking time.

Other atmospheric conditions such as lightning are of very short duration (generally under one second) and these can be filtered out by keeping the tracking time to one second or more. If you do set the tracking time to 0, then effects such as these will qualify an alarm. So if you do want to detect lightning for instance on your local golf course, set the tracking time to 0. Automobiles can cause alarms if they move in the defined area for the tracking time. If you do not want to trigger alarms on automobiles but only people, then you will need to reduce the tracking time by compromise. Knowing that people move slower than cars, estimate the minimum amount of time a person will move in the defined area and set the tracking time accordingly . The tracking time is adjust able in 1/10th of a second increments from 0 seconds to 5 minutes.

2. Zone Pattern Mask Menu

The Zone Pattern Mask Menu is used to divide up the image into separate areas or to mask-out areas where motion is analyzed or ignored.

There is a grid of 12 rows by 24 column zone cells. Any of these zone cells can be turned off (where motion will be ignored) or assigned to one of 8 areas A-H.

The Cursor

A cursor is displayed in a zone cell which is a flashing letter A-H depending on the area it is over . All other letters will not be flashing. The cursor can be moved by pressing the Left or Right button keys. The cursor will change to a block while it is moving to make it easier to see. As the cursor moves over areas, it will not change the area assignment s. It will simply flash A-H depending on the area it is over . If it is over an undefined area (or off area) a dot will flash.

Button Functions

Clear Button Programming mode will terminate and the DS1-PL will return to Main Menu after saving the

zone pattern into non-volatile memory .

Menu Button The Area under the cursor will increase to the next area letter . If it was a B, it will become a C.

Each time the Menu button is pressed, the area assignment will increase one at a time until area H (or the maximum possible). The next press will turn the area under the cursor off. If for example, 3 areas are defined in the Motion Detection menu, then the zone under the cursor will

step A,B,C,off,A,B,C,off,A,B,C,off,.......etc.

Left Button This moves the cursor left one position. The cursor will flash the area letter assignment over the

new area. If you hold the left button for longer than a second, then the cursor will move at a rate of 5 steps per second. While the cursor is moving it becomes a block to make it easier to see. When the cursor reaches the left most position on the line, it will wrap around to the right most position in the line above. If it is on the top line, it will wrap around to the bottom line.

Right Button This moves the cursor right one position. The cursor will flash the area letter assignment over

the new area. If you hold the right button for longer than a second, then the cursor will move at a rate of 5 steps per second. While the cursor is moving it becomes a block to make it easier to see. When the cursor reaches the right most position on the line it will wrap around to the left most position in the line below. If it is on the bottom line, it will wrap around to the top line.

Menu+Left Button If you hold in the Menu button, then press or hold the left button, the cursor will move left (just

like the left button), except the area assignment under the cursor is dragged and copied as it

moves left. By doing this you can quickly paint in a contiguous area. Menu+Right Button If you hold in the Menu button, then press or hold the right button, the cursor will move . If during the zone pattern set-ups no buttons are pressed for longer than 2 seconds, then an alternative zone pattern

screen appears. You may at any time go back to the original zone pattern screen by pressing the Menu button. This alternative zone pattern screen is used to quickly identify the area assignments. Its other purpose is to prevent the first zone pattern screen from obscuring the image behind it. What is shown on this zone pattern screen is the zone pattern grid of 24x12 except the present area A-H (under the cursor) is replaced with flashing blocks. All other defined areas are replaced with dot s and undefined (or off) areas are blank. The cursor will still indicate the present area as A-H with all other zone cells of the present area now being blocks.

Pressing the Left or Right buttons now flip through all areas, one at a time as blocks. This is an easy way to identify the areas defined, especially if complex layouts have been generated. Keep an eye on the cursor, which will display the area flipped.

The button functions for this zone pattern menu are as follows: Clear Button Programming mode will terminate and the DS1-PL will return to Main Menu after saving the

zone pattern into non-volatile memory .

The Buzzer Setting

Options: OFF , ALARM

The DS1-PL has an internal piezo buzzer which can be turned off or beep during alarm or

motion conditions. OFF The buzzer will not sound under any conditions. If you want the DS1-PL to be “silent”, be sure

to turn the buzzer mode setting to OFF. ALARM The buzzer will sound whenever an alarm output is generated by the DS1-PL. That is when

motion has been qualified to generate an alarm. The buzzer will sound for the duration of the

Alarm Output Time Setting (see below). This is the actual time an alarm contact is generated.

Relay Output Setting

Options: OFF , ALARM, PRETRIG , TIMER1, TIMER2, TIMER3, DA Y/NGT

The universal form-C (NO, COM, NC) Alarm Relay generates cont act closure and opening.

These contacts are connected to the device such as a video recorder or alarm distribution

panel. There are 3 “dry” contacts, normally-open, common, and normally closed, which are

accessed by the back panel connector . Refer to the back panel diagram for these connection

points.

The Alarm Relay can activate under various programmed conditions: OFF The Relay will remain inactive under all conditions. Even if the DS1-PL qualifies an

alarm, no operation of the relay will take place. ALARM The Relay will activate whenever an alarm is qualified by the DS1-PL. The Alarm Relay

remains activated for the duration of the Alarm Output Time Setting (see below). This is the

most common for the alarm relay output mode setting. PRETRIG The Relay will activate before an alarm is fully qualified. Whenever motion exceeds the

trigger level in any defined area, the Relay will activate. This may be used as an

early warning alarm output, to either warn an operator of a potential pending alarm or to start a recorder recording early, so that more alarmed foot age may be recorded to tape.

TIMER1,2,3 The Relay will activate between the Start and S top times of any of the 3 on-of f timers.

This may be used to turn equipment on and off such as lights, at different times of the day.

DA Y/NIGHT The Relay will activate following the Day/Night mode of the DS1-PL. The relay will be

active during Night mode and inactive during Day mode. The toggling of the DS1-PL ’s Day/ Night mode can be done from the front panel, from the Day/Night timer if enabled, from an external input (see below), or from a serial RS-232 command.

Programming

External Input Setting

Options: OFF, ALM-AND, ALM-OR, ENABLE, DISABLE, DA Y/NGT, CAP REF

An input signal to the DS1-PL may be used to control the DS1-PL in various ways. A closure to ground activates this signal, so it may be in the form of a loop-closure switch to ground, a TTL level low , or a closure to ground from an external device (in this case both the DS1-PL’ s ground and the equipment’s ground needs to be commoned).

The various modes of this external input contact are set with this prompt to provide the following actions:

OFF The DS1-PL takes no action on the external input whether it be open or closed to ground. ALM-AND The DS1-PL combines alarms from external equipment (or another DS1-PL) such that an

alarm is output when the DS1-PL qualifies an alarm

and the external equipment generates an

alarm. This is used as a

redundancy-verification system to double-check the validity of an alarm. This mode may also be used as a 3D-triangulation method of detecting motion in 3D space. If 2 DS1-PL ’s are used with their cameras looking perpendicularly at a scene with the first DS1-PL’ s alarm output connected to the External Input of the second DS1-PL, then the second DS1-PL will generate an alarm whenever motion occurs at the intersection of both DS1-PL’ s zoned areas.

ALM-OR The DS1-PL combines alarms from external equipment (or another DS1-PL) such that an

alarm is output when the DS1-PL qualifies an alarm

or the external equipment generates an

alarm. This is used as a

redundancy-safety system, to generate an alarm condition, from one of many events. If 2 DS1-PLs are used with the first DS1-PL ’s alarm output connected to the External Input of the second DS1-PL, then the second DS1-PL will generate an alarm whenever qualified motion occurs from either camera. This can be used in heavy industry where stamping presses need to be turned off whenever a person moves into any area where they may be harmed.

ENABLE The DS1-PL is enabled whenever this signal is active (a closure to ground). You may use this

to gate the operation of the DS1-PL on and off. For example, this may be used to enable the DS1-PL only when a door is closed by using a door contact which makes a contact closure when the door is closed.

DISABLE The DS1-PL is disabled whenever this signal is active (a closure to ground). Y ou may use

this to gate the operation of the DS1-PL on and off. For example, this may be used with a PTZ controller to disable the DS1-PL whenever the camera moves, then enable the DS1-PL again when the camera stops moving.

DAY/NGT The DS1-PL can be switched between the day and night settings with the External Input.

When the External Input is active (closure to ground), the DS1-PL will switch to the Night mode settings, and when this signal becomes inactive the DS1-PL will switch to the Day mode settings.

CAP REF In the Museum mode, the DS1-PL compares the live image from the camera to a freeze

frame image stored in memory to determine the obscurity of the areas it is processing. Normally this freeze frame reference image is captured automatically at the end of the programming of the DS1-PL. Y ou may want to capture this reference image at any time later , you can do this by setting this mode. The reference image will be captured when the Exter nal Input makes a closure to ground.

Watchdog Timer

Options: ON, OFF The internal watchdog timer is in continuous operation whether this setting is ON or OFF . If for some reason the uP stops

for more than 250ms, the internal counter is automatically timed-out and issues a reset to the uP to continue operation. When this option is selected ON, the watchdog timer signal is output to Zone Alarm H. This output is continuously

toggled ON and OFF at a period of 250ms. If for some reason this signal is not periodic, the uP has ceased to operate from a hardware failure. When this option is set OFF, the watchdog output is not sent to Zone Alarm H and this alarm function is normal.

Entrance Delay Setting

Options: 0-99 seconds The entrance delay is the delay which occurs the first time the DS1-PL qualifies an alarm (after being manually enabled)

to the time it generates its first alarm output. This will give the user the opportunity to enter the premises without generating an alarm. Most domestic alarm systems have this feature. The Entrance Delay can be programmed to between 0 and 99 seconds. If it is set to 0, then the DS1-PL will generate an alarm immediately after the the first motion has been qualified.

Exit Delay Setting

Options: 0-99 seconds The exit delay is the delay which occurs after the DS1-PL has been manually enabled (by pressing the Alarm button) to

the time it starts processing motion to qualify an alarm. This will give the user the opportunity to exit the premises before an alarm is generated. Most domestic alarm systems have this feature. The Exit Delay can be programmed to between 0 and 99 seconds. If it is set to 0, then the DS1-PL will start to process alarms immediately after the DS1-PL has been enabled.

Alarm Process

Options:Time or Retrigger

The Time mode is defined as a fixed period of time from when the alarm is initiated. After the programmed time period, the alarm is stopped and can not be reset until the Alarm Reset time has elap sed. If multiple alarms occur within the Time mode, they are ingored and the time starts from the initiation of the first alarm.

The Retrigger mode starts the programmable time from the last alarm occurance within the dwell period. If an alarm occurs and is reset within the programmed alarm time and a new alarm occurs, the programmed alarm time is reset and the process occurs indefinitely until no alarms occur within the programmed time period.

Alarm Output Time Setting

Options: Man 0-99 seconds

The Alarm Output T ime is the time an alarm is actively output to the relay contact s. The buzzer will also sound for this duration if it has been set to Alarm mode. The alarm will stay active for this time and no further processing of motion will take place until it has timed-out. If motion continues when it has timed-out, the alarm output time will be extended to the point where motion no longer exceeds the trigger level set. One second should be an adequate setting in most cases because video recorders have their own recording time setting, and video switchers and matrix switchers have their own alarm dwell time settings. If the Alarm Output Time is set to Man ( Manual ). Alarms will generated following VMD.

DIGITAL VIDEO MOTION DETECTOR

Page 25

Alarm Reset Time Setting

Options: 0-99 seconds This is the minimum time between alarms generated by the DS1-PL. This is a means to stretch out alarm events. For

instance, if you are using the DS1-PL to trigger a video printer , you want one picture when an alarm event occurs but not hundreds of pictures of each event. At the end of the alarm output when the relay drops out, the DS1-PL will reset itself

and stay reset for this duration before the next alarm is qualified.

4. Timers Menu

On the day(s) of the week selected, the DS1-PL will be made enabled during the Start and Stop times. The first time, displayed as HH:MMA, is the hour, minute, and AM/PM that the DS1-PL will become enabled. This is the St art time.

The second time, displayed as HH:MMA, is the hour, minute, and AM/PM that the DS1-PL will become disabled. This is the Stop time. If the S top time is earlier than the S tart time, then the DS1-PL will become disabled on the following day .

Programming

By combining up to 3 On-Off timers, many combinations of enabling/disabling of the DS1-PL can be achieved. The times and days of the timers may be seperated or may even be overlapped. When more than one timer is on, then motion detection will be enabled when any timer is between its St art and Stop time. The motion detector will be disabled when all timers have reached their stop times. The examples that follow will show how this works.

Timer Examples

Example 1

Enable motion detection every day between 8 AM and 5 PM.

Tmr1: ALL 08:00A - 05:00P Tmr2: OFF Tmr3: OFF

Example 2

Enable motion detection every day between 7:30 PM and 8:45 AM.

Tmr1: ALL 07:30P - 08:45A Tmr2: OFF Tmr3: OFF

Example 3

Enable motion detection every weekday in the mornings between 6 AM and 6:30 AM,and in the afternoons between 4:30 PM an 5:10 PM.

Tmr1: M-F 06:00A - 06:30A Tmr2: M-F 04:30P - 05:10P Tmr3: OFF

DIGITAL VIDEO MOTION DETECTOR

For example:

Tmr1: TUE 4:00P - 8:00A will enable the DS1-PL from 4 PM on Tuesday to 8 AM on Wednesday.

Note

If a timer is turned Off, then the S tart and S top times will have no effect.

The on-off timers are a way to fully automate the generation of alarms. Once the timers have been set, the DS1-PL needs no further intervention. If you do not want an automated (by time) DS1-PL, then be sure to turn all the timers off. In this way , you can enable or disable alarming from the front panel using the alarm button as an enable/disable toggle.

you are using a timer (or timers) to enable/disable the motion detector, you may still override the enable/disable function from the front panel, but at the next Start or S top time of the timer , the timer will take control again of enabling/disabling. After you set the timers you may wish to manually disable motion detection from the front panel, then walk away and let the timers take control from that point. Y ou may observe the timers kicking in and out of operation by watching the st atus indicators. When the DS1-PL is enabled, the red LED will be lit above the Alarm button. Also, the Alarm status onscreen will display “A” (uppercase) when enabled, and “a” (lowercase) when disabled.

The Day/Night Timer Settings

The Day and Night modes of the DS1-PL are 2 independent banks of the user’s settings which contain all the settings of the DS1-PL where you may have different zone patterns, sensitivities, and buzzer on/off, etc.

The purpose is to quickly switch between these settings for different conditions. It will most likely used for switching between motion criteria for detecting motion in the day and at night. However, the day and night settings may be used at any time of the day or night when the user wants to switch between 2 programmed banks of settings.

The Day/Night timer can be used to automate this switching between day and night settings. There are 2 modes, On and Off. Turn the Day/Night timer On if you need to use it and Off if you want to manually switch between Day/Night modes by using the Day/Night toggle button on the front panel.

There are 2 times that are set. The first is the Day switchover time and the second is the Night switchover time. The format is the same as the On-Off timers: HH:MMA This sets the hours, minutes, and AM/PM for the Day or Night switchover times.

At the time of the day’s switchover time, the DS1-PL will use the “day” settings. Also, the green LED will be lit and the day/night status indicator on screen will display “d”.

At the time of the night’s switchover time, the DS1-PL will use the “night” settings. Also, the green LED will be of f and the day/night status indicator on-screen will display “n”. The Day/Night timer works independently of the 3 On-Off timers. So while the On-Off timers are enabling/disabling the motion detection, the day/Night timer will load the Day or Night settings.

Y ou may use the Day/Night timer as a 4th On-Off timer if you need by turning on motion in the Day settings (mode setting in the Motion Detection menu), and turning it off at night, or visa versa.

5. On Screen Data Menu

The DS1-PL displays overlaid on the video image various information to be observed or recorded to tape. It is used mainly as status information pertaining to the image being analyzed. There are various items such as date and time and camera titler, or black screen or “delta” ef fects, and each of these may be turned on or off or placed in various modes of display . None of these settings affect in any way the performance of the motion detection. They are only there for the benefit of enhancing the information provided to the user.

The top of the screen is the heading for this menu page, On Screen. At the top right corner will be displayed “d” or “n” indicating you are programming the day

or night settings. Remember to toggle the Day/Night mode (the Day/Night button) prior to programming to select the day or night settings.

The Layout Setting

Options: OFF , ST ACKED, SERIES The DS1-PL has 2 dif ferent ways the on-screen information is displayed (such as date, time, titler , etc). This is set so

that the image behind it is not obscured. OFF No on-screen information is displayed. This is a way to globally turn all the on-screen

information off so that the camera’s video is all that is seen on the monitor .

ST ACKED The on-screen information is displayed in a tall and narrow format of up to 5 lines of text high

and of 9 characters across.

SERIES The on-screen information is displayed in a short and wide format of up to 2 lines high and of

24 characters across.

The Position Settings

Options: Horizontal: 1-12, V ertical: 1-22 (NTSC) or 1-27 (PAL) The on-screen information can be shifted to any part of the screen by setting the values in the horizontal and vertical

settings. Horizontal is the left to right positioning of the display. The higher the number, the more to the right the Vertical is the top to bottom positioning of the display . The higher the number, the more to the bottom the display will be.

Page 30

Typical settings are:

Horizontal: 3, V ertical: 3 (for the top left corner) Horizontal: 3, V ertical: 20 (for the bottom left corner)

Lining up the on-screen display to the top or bottom right corners depends on the stacked or series settings because this defines the shape of the layout information.

The Status Setting

Options: OFF , AREA # DELTA, ALL DEL TA, ALARM FLAGS The DS1-PL has 2 different ways the on screen information is displayed (such as date, time, titler ,etc). This is set so that

the image behind it is not obscured. OFF No on screen status information is displayed. This turns of the 8-character position status

indicators, as well as the alarm status display , alarm counter display, and day/night status display.

AREA # DELTA The delta for a specific area A-H can be displayed. This indicates the number of pixels which

have moved in that area, as defined in the zone pattern setups. The higher the number , the larger is the moving object. No motion will indicate 0 (zero pixels moving). You may use this setting to assist in setting up the trigger level for a specific area.

ALL DELTA The delta for all defined areas A-H can be displayed. This indicates the number of pixels which

have moved in all defined areas. The higher the number , the larger is the moving object. Any motion in any area will generate a number indicating the number of pixels.

ALARM FLAGS This is probably the most informative status display . It indicates the st atus of eacharea by

using symbols to indicate their status. For each area A-H:

1) a dot represents no motion (or even noise) is present.

2) a dash represents any motion not exceeding the trigger level.

3) a lower case letter (a-h) represents motion exceeding the trigger level.

4) an upper case letter (A-H) represents motion exceeding the trigger level for a sustained period of time as set in the tracking time setting. This also shows when an alarm is qualified. The DS1-PL will generate an alarm output condition if any upper case (area) is displayed.

The Calendar Display Setting

Options: OFF , MMM-DD-YY, YY -MMM-DD, DD-MMM-YY The month, date, and year display may be turned off or displayed in various international modes which change the order

of this data. This setting is only for on-screen information, so does not affect the internal clock used for timers and logging functions. The calendar format is used for date-time generation and the same setting is also used in the Log display.

OFF No on-screen calendar information is displayed. MMM-DD-YY Month, then date, then year (USA). YY-MMM-DD Y ear , then month, then date (Canada, Japan). DD-MMM-YY Date, then month, then year ( Europe, Asia).

The Time Display Setting

Options: OFF , 12 hour , 24 hour The hours, minutes, and seconds display may be turned off or displayed in 2 formats. This setting is only for on-screen

information so does not affect the internal clock used for timers and logging functions. The time format is used for datetime generation and the same setting is also used in the Log display as well as the setting page for timers.

OFF: No on-screen time information is displayed. 12 hour Hours (1-12) , minutes, seconds, and AM/PM st atus (A or P). 24 hour Hours (00-23) , minutes, seconds

The Trace Effect Setting

Options: OFF, MOTION, MEMORY , MEMOR Y/F, MEMORY/S, MEMORY/A, MEMORY/AS The DS1-PL calculates motion on the pixel level. Each pixel is calculated for motion independently. Any pixel that

exceeds the sensitivity threshold can be displayed on-screen. These appear as little highlighted dots called the “delta” display or “trace effect”.

These dots appear to surround moving objects or follow the trajectory of moving objects when they are accumulated in the “memory” modes.

OFF: No on-screen time trace effect is displayed. Motion Trace effect continuously updates frame by frame, normally seen as high lighted pixels

surrounding moving objects.

Memory Trace effect is accumulated, which highlights areas in the image where motion has taken

place since last cleared. The trace memory may be cleared manually by pressing the Alarm button or automatically at the end of the alarm timeout. If the alarm is disabled, the trace will continue accumulating. This feature is used to display the history of past motion activity or display the trajectory of moving objects. The trace memory highlights the pixels affected so the image becomes brighter in these areas, so the image is still seen.

Memory/F Trace effect, same as above, except flashed on and off the screen 2 times per second. This

may be used when the trace memory obscures the background video image too much.

Memory/S Same as Memory Function, but this function will show trace effect in strobe effect at 2 Hz. Memory/A Same as Memory Function but the memory on-screen starts after the motion alarm has

occured.

Memory/AS This is the same as Memory/S but the memory strobe mode starts after the motion alarm

has occured.

to indicate different conditions or to identify the operators name or what the camera is looking at, etc.

6. Camera Titler Menu

The Camera Titler is a means of writing a message onto the video image, to identify the camera, or for any other information you wish to put there. It is a text message of 16 character positions which may consist of any mix of alpha characters (A-Z), numeric characters (0-9), and special characters (such as periods, commas, spaces, etc.).

The titling information along with the Date and Time information is recorded on the tape. It is used mainly as status information pertaining to the image being analyzed. There are various items such as date and time, and camera titler , or black screen or “delta” effects, and each of these may be turned on or off or placed in various modes of display .

Options: 0-127

The Output Rate Setting

Options: OFF , PER ALARM, CONTINUOUS The data rate setting configures the rate at which the DS1-PL outputs data.

OFF No serial data is transmitted by the DS1-PL. Serial data may still be received. PER ALARM The serial data is sent at the start of each alarm generated by the DS1-PL, so data may be

“stretched out” over time by increasing the Alarm Output T ime setting in the Alarms menu.

CONTINUOUS The serial data is sent each and every frame of video, which consists of single bytes or packets

of information every 1/30th second in NTSC (1/25th sec in P AL). NOTE: When you select the UDP Mode below the data is only sent out once every 5 seconds.

However when an alarm occurs the data is sent out at that time also immediately .

The Output Data Setting

Options: MOVE FLAGS, TRIGGER FLAGS, ALARM FLAGS, ST A TUS FLAGS, ALL FLAGS, AREA #

DEL T A, ALL DEL T A, ALARM LOG, UDP

The data setting configures the type of information the DS1-PL sends.

DSVMD Software

Installation

Place the included CD-ROM in your drive and should open with menu selections. If it does not open then select “Explore” of the CD-ROM and double click on the “Setup.exe” file in the software directory . It will look similar to the following “E:\Software\DSVMD\Setup.exe”. When the installation of the software is finished, then run DSVMD software

from your Program Menu.

Opening Window

Select Software “DSVMD - Serial” - This selection allows you to directly connect to the DS1-PL via a serial connection from your

PC. The appropriate cable must be connected to a powered up DS1-PL and the connection will be made. If a proper connection is not made you still can run the program in the off-line mode, save your settings and later connect.

“Dsvmd - UDP” - This selection allows you to connect to the DS1-PL via the Ethernet LAN adapter . The proper IP address must be programmed into the LAN adapter. This can be done by the on-screen menu of the DS1-PL while the LAN adapter is connected to the DS1-PL or via the IP Address Setting function below . Then make sure your LAN adapter is connected to the network and connected to the DS1-PL.

“IP Address Setting” - This selection allows you to directly connect the serial port of the PC to the LAN adapter. Y ou then can program the IP address directly into the LAN adapter . The IP address is stored in non volatile memory so will never be lost.

Serial Connection

Setting; Format NTSC or P AL - Select the proper format for cameras you are using

System DS1-PL or DS-16 - Select the device you are communicating with Select Comport - Select the baud rate, parity , and bits of the comport connected to the device. The default setting of

the DS1-PL and DS-16 is 4800,n,8,1 so most likely use this first unless you have programmed another baud rate into the DS1-PL. The DS-16 is always 4800,n,8,1 and can not be changed.

Format NTSC or P AL - Select the proper format for cameras you are using System DS1-PL or DS-16 - Select the device you are communicating with BaudRate - Select the baud rate, parity , and bits of the connected device. The default setting of the DS1-PL and DS-

16 is 4800,n,8,1 so most likely use this first unless you have programmed another baud rate into the DS1PL. The DS-16 is always 4800,n,8,1 and can not be changed.

Setup IP Address

Make sure the proper cable is connected from the PC to the LAN adapter. Select the Comport of the PC with baud rate, parity , and bits. The default baud rate of the LAN adapter is 4800,n,8,1 so select that first unless you have previously changed.

Type in the IP address you wish the LAN adapter to respond to. The display will show the present IP address programmed into the LAN adapter to show previous setting and to confirm new settings. Check you network IP addresses carefully and make sure you are not duplicating any other IP address on your network or a conflict will occur and cause problems.
