User Manual

Product overview

The GE 16X PTZ cameras are designed for installation in an indoor/outdoor video surveillance system.The camera incorporates the digital signal processor, pan/tilt mechanism, a X16 zoom lens and an RS-485 communication interface in a compact enclosure.

References and related documentation

For more information on the KTD-405 controller keypad, refer to:

• KTD-405/KTD405A User Manual (1036547)

Features

High Sensitivity support. The camera provides the high quality picture with 1/4 inch Super HAD CCD effective pixels.

Preset tour. A preset tour moves the camera through a set of programmed positions. A maximum of 63 presets can be created. Using a keypad, you can register a combination of up to 18 presets per tour. The camera movement speed and holding time are adjustable. Four preset tours can be created.

Shadow tour. A shadow tour is a tour that the camera “learns” by recording manual pan, tilt, and zoom operations. A shadow tour can be stored and replayed.

Note: When the shadow tour recording memory is full, the shadow tour recording will automatically stop.

Autopan. The Autopan function pans the camera between 2 preset positions periodically.

Autoflip. The autoflip function allows the tilt angle to widen up to 180°. The image on the monitor screen

is flipped horizontally and vertically at the tilt angle of approximately 90°.

Optical Zoom. The optical zoom range is 1X to 16X.

Digital Zoom. Digital zoom enhances the systems zoom range to 8 times beyond the 16X optical zoom

limit. By utilizing the digital zoom function, the total system zoom range increases from 16X (1X digital zoom) to 128X (8X digital zoom).

Alarm in function. Alarm signals are supplied from external devices through the ALARM IN connector. When the signal is received, the camera turns to a preset position.

Protocols. GE and Pelco protocols are supported. The usable protocols are DIGIPLEX RS-422 (default), IMPAC RS-485, ASCII, and PELCO D and P.

Connection capability up to 256 cameras. This camera can be connected to a maximum of 256 other cameras.

Note: The maximum number of cameras that can be connected varies depending on which control protocol is used.

Power supply. Use a 24 VAC/24 VDC certified/listed class 2 power supply to power the camera.

Safety precautions

Do not disassemble the camera. To prevent electric shock, do not remove the cover. The unit contains no user-serviceable parts. If the camera isn’t working properly, have it repaired at a qualified service center.

Avoid placing the camera in direct sunlight. Do not aim the camera at bright objects. Whether the camera is in use or not, do not face it towards direct sunlight or other extremely bright objects. Direct sunlight or bright objects can cause blooming or smear to occur.

Handle the camera with care. Always handle and store the camera with care. The camera could be damaged by improper handling or storage.

Do not use strong solvents or detergents to clean the camera. If the camera is dirty, wipe it with a clean, dry cloth to clean it. If wiping the camera does not remove dirty residue, you may clean the unit using a mild detergent solution.

Install and mount the camera in the proper position. This camera is designed for mounting on the ceiling or wall. Do not install the camera upside down or at an angle. If you mount the camera improperly, it may malfunction.

Before operating the camera, check the temperature, humidity, and power source ratings. Use the camera under conditions where temperature is between 4 to 120°F (-10 to 50°C), and humidity is below 90%. The input power source is 24 VAC or 24 VDC.

Shadow tours

A shadow tour is a tour that the camera “learns” by recording your manual pan, tilt, and zoom operations. When programming a new shadow tour, you use a keypad to direct the camera through the desired PTZ movements. The camera stores the movements you performed in memory. The recorded tour can be replayed at any time.

Programming a new shadow tour

To program a new shadow tour, do the following:

1. From MAIN MENU, select TOUR MENU.

2. From TOUR MENU, select TOUR1 SHADOW TOUR (Figure 42).

3. From NEW SHADOW TOUR, press iris + to start the timer (Figure 43).

REC flashes on the monitor, and the USED percentage will increase while moving the camera through the tour.

Note: The maximum length of the shadow tour is

variable and is dependant on the number of PTZ operations running in the tour recording. When more quick PTZ hybrid movements are made, less programming time is available for the shadow tour.
