Chapter 1 Overview

1.1 Description

Integrated with a built-in pan/tilt unit and a digital image receiver, the speed dome features highly sensitive response and reliable performance, and also ensures the image clarity and stability. The speed dome can be adopted in various surveillance fields with its full-integral functions and features, such as forest, railway, airport, harbor, oil field, plaza, park, scenic spot, street, train station, stadium, etc.

Figure 1-1 Appearance

1.2 Functions

Wide Dynamic Range (WDR): The wide dynamic range function helps the speed dome provide clear

images even under back light circumstances. When there are both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously in the field of view, WDR balances the brightness level of the whole image and provide clear images with details. Privacy Mask: This function allows you to block or mask certain areas of a scene to prevent the personal privacy from being recorded or viewed. Backlight Comp ensation (BLC): If the speed dome focuses on an object against strong backlight, the object will be too dark to be seen clearly. The BLC function can compensate light to the object in the front to make it clear, but this causes the over-exposure of the background where the light is strong. DAY/NIGHT Auto-switch: The speed dome delivers color images during the day; as light diminishes at night, it switches to night mode and delivers black and white images with high quality. You can also switch it to NIGHT mode manually to increase the sensitivity in low light conditions. White Balance: White balance is the white rendition function of the speed dome to adjust the color temperature according to the environment automatically. It can remove the unrealistic color casts in

5-i nch High Speed Dome User Ma nual

the image. Digital Noise Reduction (DNR): DNR is the process of removing noise from a signal. It compensates for the low-light conditions, and corrects imperfections in the image by removing a large percentage of the noises; it helps to deliver a cleaner signal, a more visually appealing image, and make it easier to identify the objects. Self-adaptive Protocol: The speed dome is compatible with PELCO-D, PELCO-P, PRIVATE-Code, VICON and KALATEL-32 protocol, etc., and is capable of being self-adaptive to these protocols without selecting protocol by DIP switch settings. You can also configure the protocol via OSD menu. Manchester Code Self-test: The speed dome supports Manchester code self-test for fault diagnostic while adopting Manchester protocol. You can enable the Manchester code diagnosis function by setting the positions 4, 5 and 6 of DIP Switch SW2 to ON. The corresponding fault code will be displayed on the screen (not available during park time).

Figure 3-11 PTZ Configuration

Descriptions of PTZ parameter configuration:

 Auto-flip

In manual tracking mode, when a target object goes directly beneath the speed dome, the speed dome automatically rotates (flips) 180 degrees horizontally to track the object.

Note: AUTO-FLIP is set as ON for this speed dome by default and it’s not user-definable.

 Proportional Panning

Purpose:

When the speed dome is zooming in/out, you can enable the proportional panning function to automatically reduce or increase the panning and tilting speeds according to the zooming amount. This function enables the speed dome to trace the object at a proper speed when the speed dome is zooming and the monitored scene is narrowed (zoom in) or enlarged (zoom out). The panning and tilting speeds will be slower in telephoto state than that of the wide zoom state. You can set PROPORTIONAL PAN to ON or OFF to enable/disable the function.

Note: This function is enabled automatically while setting the patterns.

 Park time and actions

Purpose:

This feature allows the speed dome to start a predefined park action (scan, preset, pattern, etc.) automatically after a period of inactivity (park time). You can set PARK TIME from 5 to 720 seconds and set the park action (PARK ACT) as preset 1-8, pattern 1-4, patrol 1-8, pan scan, tilt scan, random scan, frame scan, panoramic scan, day mode, night mode or none.

Note: If no control signal is received after the park time under the following circumstances, no park

actions will be performed: in the process of performing dome actions by calling special presets; or in the process of performing external alarm linked actions.

 Image freeze

This feature enables the live view to switch directly from one scene defined by a preset to another, without showing the middle areas between these two, to ensure the surveillance efficiency. It can also reduce the use of bandwidth in a digital network system. You can set IMAGE FREEZE on to enable this function.

5-i nch High Speed Dome User Ma nual

 PTZ speed

Purpose:

You can define the speed of the dome movements.

(1) DOME SPEED: the manual movement speed can be set as HIGH, MID or LOW. (2) SCAN SPEED: scan speed defines the scan degree per second of panning scan, tilting scan, frame

scan, random scan and panoramic scan. Scan speed is adjustable from 1 to 40 degrees per second.

(3) PRESET SPEED: the speed of calling a preset can be set from level 1 to 8. The higher level

corresponds to the faster speed to call a preset.

 Limit stops

Appendix

Appendix 1 Lightning & Surge Protection

This product adopts TVS plate lightning protection technology to avoid damage caused by pulse signal that is below 3000W, like instantaneous lighting, surging, etc. According to the a ctual situation outdoors, necessary protection measures must be taken to secure the electrical safety.

 The distance between signal transmission line and High-voltage equipment or high-voltage cable

is at least 50m.

 Outdoor wiring should better be along the eaves as much as possible.  In the open field, wiring should be buried underground in sealed steel pipe, and the steel-pipe

should be one-point grounding. Overhead routing method is forbidden.

 In strong thunderstorm area or high induction voltage areas (such as high-voltage transformer

substation), high power lightning protection apparatus and lightning conductor are necessary to be appended.

 The design for installation and wiring with lightning protection and grounding in mind should be

combined with the lightning protection consideration of the building, and conform to the related national standards and industry standards.

 The system should be equipotentially grounded, and the grounding equipment must satisfy

double-request of system anti-jamming and electric safety, and it must not appear short circuit and open circuit with the zero conductor of strong grid. When the system is grounding individual,

the resistance should be no more than 4Ω, the section al area of the grounding cable should be

no less than 25mm2. For grounding instructions, please refer to the Installation Manual of Speed Dome.

Appendix 2 RS485 Bus Connection

 General Property of RS485 Bus

According to RS485 industry bus standard, RS485 is a half-duplex communication bus which has

120Ω characteristic impendence, the maximum load ability is 32 payloads (including controller

device and controlled device).

 RS485 Bus Transmission Distance

When using 0.56mm (24AWG) twisted-pair line, according to different baudrate, the maximum transmission distance theory table is shown as below:

Table A-1 Max. Distance of RS485 Transmission

Baudrate

Max. Distance

2400BPS

1800m

4800BPS

1200m

9600BPS

800m

The transmission distance will be decreased if we use the thinner cable, or use this product under the strong electromagnetic interference situation, or there are lots of devices are added to the bus; on the contrary, the transmission distance will be increased.

 Connection Methods

RS485 industry bus standard require daisy-chain connection method between any devices, both sides have to connect a 120Ω terminal resistance (show as Diagram 1), the simplified connection method is shown as diagram 2, but the distance of “D” should not be too long.

Figure A-2 RS485 Connection 1

Figure A-3 RS485 Connection 2

 Problems in the Practical Application

Normally, users adopt star-shape connection method in construction, under this situation, the terminal resistors must be connected between two farthest devices (as Figure 4, 1# and 15#), but this connection method is not satisfy the requirement of the RS485 industry standard so that it will lead to some problems such as signal reflection, anti-jamming ability decline when the devices are

5-i nch High Speed Dome User Ma nual

35

faraway. At this time, the speed dome will be uncontrollable, or self-running, etc.

Figure A-4 Star Shape Connection

For such case, the best way is adding a RS485 distributor. This product can effectively change the star-shape connection to which satisfies the requirement of RS485 industry standard, in order to avoid those problems and improve the communication reliability.

Appendix 3 24VAC Wire Gauge & Transmission Distance

The following table has described the recommended maximum distance adopted for the certain wire gauge when the 24VAC voltage loss rate is less than 10%. For the AC driven device, the maximum voltage loss rate allowable is 10%. For example, for a device with the rating power of 80VA which is installed at a distance of 35 feet (10m) away from the transformer, then the minimum wire gauge required is 0.8000mm.

Glossary

 3D Intelligent Positioning

The speed dome can be controlled with the 2 buttons and scroll of mouse can be used under PRIVATE-Code protocols with devices and client software. Click on a certain area and the device will move to the scene with corresponding point as the center. When a rectangular area is selected by left-clicking the mouse, device will move to its center and enlarge it. With right-clicking, the lens will zoom in, and the scroll can easily make the lens zooming, and mouse operation automatically incorporates zooming effect.

 Auto Scan

The speed dome provides 5 scanning modes: pan scanning, tilt scanning, frame scanning, random scanning and panorama scanning. The scanning speed can be set by OSD menu from level 1 to 40, with the corresponding speed ranging from 1°/second to 40°/second.

 Auto Flip

In manual tracking mode, when a target object goes directly beneath the speed dome, the speed dome will automatically rotate 180 degrees in horizontal direction to maintain continuity of tracking.

 Auto Focus

The auto focus enables the camera to focus automatically to maintain clear video images.

 Alarm Response Action

The speed dome supports 7 alarm inputs which can be set to NO or NC. Upon having received the alarm input signal, the speed dome will automatically activate a user-defined action, which can be programmed to: preset 1-8, pattern 1-4, patrol 1-8, pan scan, tilt scan, random scan, frame scan, panoramic scan, color/B&W mode or none. After the alarm is cleared, the speed dome is capable of resuming its previous activity or position.

 AUX Output

An auxiliary output is a configurable signal from the speed dome back box that can trigger another device to operate. The speed dome provides two auxiliary outputs: AUX1 andAUX2. The auxiliary output type can be set to NO (normally open) or NC (normally closed) by menu. And the alarm dwell time is configurable as well.

 Camera Title

Title text is the label used to identify the camera viewed on the monitor. Up to 15 characters can be used for a title

 Exposure Compensation

Exposure compensation is a function for adjusting the situations including unusual lighting distribution, variations, non-standard processing, or other conditions of underexposure or overexposure to get an optimum image.

 Keyboard Control

The pan/tilt movement and zoom actions of the speed dome can be controlled by the control keyboard, DVR, matrix, etc.

 Label Display

The on-screen label of the preset title, azimuth/elevation, zoom and other operations can be

5-i nch High Speed Dome User Ma nual

39

programmed by menu and displayed on the monitor.

 Limit Stops

The speed dome can be programmed to move within the limit stops (left/right, up/down) which are configurable by the control keyboard, DVR or client application software.

 Preset Freeze Frame

This feature freezes the scene on the monitor when going to a preset. This allows for smooth transition from one preset scene to another and also guarantees that masked area will not be revealed when going to a preset.

 Presets

Each of the user-definable presets can be programmed to use pan, tilt, camera settings and other settings. When preset is called, the speed dome will automatically move to the defined position. User is allowed to add, modify, delete and call each preset.

 Patrol

The high speed dome provides up to 8 patrols. In each patrol, user is allowed to specify the scanning track by a group of user-defined presets, with the scanning speed between two presets and the dwell time at the preset separately programmable.

 Pattern

A pattern is a memorized, repeating series of pan, tilt, zoom, and preset functions that can be recalled with a command from a controller or automatically by a configured function (alarm, park, time task, or power-up). By default the focus and iris are in auto status during the preset is being memorized.

 Privacy Mask

The privacy mask allows a user to program user-defined areas that cannot be viewed by the operator of the dome system. A masked area will move with pan and tilt functions and automatically adjust in size as the lens zooms telephoto and wide.

 Proportional Pan

Proportional pan automatically reduces or increases the pan and tilt speeds in proportion to the amount of zoom. At telephoto zoom settings, the pan and tilt speeds will be slower for a given amount of joystick deflection than at wide zoom settings. This keeps the image from moving too fast on the monitor when there is a large amount of zoom.

 Power-off Memory

This feature allows the speed dome to resume its previous position or status after power is restored. By default setting, the speed dome supports the power-off memory capability with the dwell time of 3 minutes.

 Password protection

It’s a function to prevent unauthorized changes to the dome settings.

 RS-485 Failure Diagnostics

In the presence of failure at the transmitting and receiving terminals of RS-485 communications, the speed dome is capable of performing self-test and detecting the fault results which will be displayed on the screen.

 Soft Baud Rate

The baud rate of the speed dome can be configured by the menu without need of DIP switch settings.

 Time Task

A time task is a preconfigured action that can be performed automatically at a specific date and time. The programmable actions include: preset 1-8, pattern 1-4, patrol 1-4, pan scan, tilt scan, random scan, frame scan, panorama scan, day/nig ht mode or none.

 Zone

A zone is a pan and tilt area defined by a left/right and up/down limit stops. The speed dome provides eight zones, each with configurable label and limit stops. If the speed dome has dwelled at a zone without receiving any command over 4 minutes, this feature will enable the speed dome to perform panorama scanning within the zone.
