VT1500WDM-Kalatel
Security
The VT1500WDM-Kalatel video transmitter and data receiver module is designed for use in the Kalatel Cyberdome
dome system with Cybermount™side conduit entry. This
module allows the dome camera to be connected directly
to optical fiber, providing a fully integrated solution. This
unit mounts directly into the dome’s wallmount, replacing
the traditional power, data and coaxial cable connection
within the arm. The IFS VT1500WDM-Kalatel allows for the
simultaneous transmission of video and one-way data
over one optical fiber. The unit supports the RS-422 data
protocol that Kalatel utilizes for camera pan, tilt and zoom
control. The unit also has a contact closure input for adding a device such as a dome tamper switch or alarm input,
enabling a signal to be transmitted back to the
monitoring location.
The optical output of the dome is compatible with the
standard IFS VR1500WDM receiver or VR1500WDM-CC,
and is designed for quick and easy installation into the
Cybermount
multimode optical fiber. In addition, the VT1500WDMKalatel transceiver is designed to be an integral part of the
Cyberdome
connections, the fiber module requires no external power
source and no additional hardware at the camera site.
