Preface
The DVTel 9600 and 9700 Series of Internet Protocol (IP) Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) Cameras (or Domes) feature a variety of PAL and NTSC models for both indoor and outdoor use.
The domes contain a built-in MPEG-4 encoder that converts analog video into one or two MPEG-4 streams. The latter option is used to support viewing and recording at different qualities (up to 4CIF, 30 ips NTSC or 25 ips PAL). The domes are powered using 24 VAC current, delivered either through a Power over Ethernet (PoE) wiring accessory or directly. PoE is not available for outdoor domes. Each dome also contains DIP switches for setting the PTZ number, baud rate and protocol.
The DVTel Domes are designed to integrate seamlessly with Latitude NVMS. Most of the devices’ configuration is typically performed through the Latitude AdminCenter.
Dome setup involves three principal tasks: encoder configuration, physical installation and camera configuration.
The diagram below shows the dome’s dimensions, in millimeters.

Encoder Configuration
The dome’s built-in encoder should be configured in a lab before the camera is installed in the field. Each dome comes with a default IP address, which is typically listed on a sticker affixed to its housing (some early models of the dome do not have this sticker. In that case, the default IP address is 192.168.0.1).
1. Install the DVTel ActiveX extensions on your computer. The application can be found
in the firmware folder of the installation CD under the name DVTELACX.exe.

4. Power up the camera with 24 VAC using either the Power over Ethernet (PoE) wiring
accessory or, in the case of a dome without PoE, its power leads. The PoE wiring accessory should be connected to a 24 VAC power source and to either your computer or a network switch. If connecting directly to a computer, use the provided crossed network cable to connect the wiring accessory’s female RJ45 connector to the camera’s female RJ45 connector. Otherwise, use a straight-through cable.
5. Configure your computer’s network settings so that it can connect to devices with IP
addresses of the form 192.168.0.X. See your network administrator for information on how to do this.
6. Enter the encoder’s IP address in Internet Explorer Address field and press Enter.

Physical Installation
The following instructions present the procedure for installing a bracket-mounted IP dome using a pendant mount. Mounts are also available for installing the dome on a wall, corner, roof or pole. The ceiling-mounted dome requires that a round hole be made in the ceiling tile.
Indoor Dome Installation
1. Place the pendant mount base against a firm ceiling and secure it with three expansion
bolts. Pull the wiring through the base hole.

and a CAT5 cable of no more than 220 feet, depending on your model.
5. Connect the dome or PoE wiring accessory, depending on your model, to the network.
6. The dome’s PTZ number is set with the S1 DIP switch at the back of the dome drive.
DVTel recommends you leave at its default of 1. If you would like to change it, use the key provided on the sticker below the S1 switch.
7. Push in on the two tabs located on the upper side of the dome drive, and line them up
with the corresponding grooves in the housing. Insert one tab into the groove and then the other. Push on the ends of the tabs until both click into place.
8. To install the dome cover, line up its screws with the corresponding holes in the dome
housing, and secure the cover with the supplied pan-head screws.

Camera Configuration
The DVTel IP Dome is typically configured using Latitude AdminCenter. Some of its most common functions, such as presets and patterns, can be set-up using the system’s Graphical User Interface (GUI). To set up most functions, however, the camera’s textual menu must be utilized. Before this menu can be accessed from Latitude, however, the PTZ must be set up in AdminCenter.
Dome Setup in Latitude
Setting up a dome in Latitude involves the configuration of the camera, the encoder’s serial port, and of the PTZ motor.
