Introduction
This manual explains how to install, commission, program, and use wireless PIR
cameras together with Advisor Advanced systems.
A wireless PIR camera is a wireless PIR detector with a camera built-in. The
camera can be programmed to take pictures in case of activation of associated
zones, conditional filters, as well as by manual activation or remote requests.
After an alarm the associated pictures are sent to a central station via IP/GPRS.
Pictures can also be viewed from configuration software.
2 PIR Camera Reference Manual
System structure
An Advisor Advanced system can have one ATS1238 wireless PIR camera
expander mounted inside of the panel housing, and connected to the MI bus.
See “ATS1238 expander” on page 4 for details.
The system with a wireless PIR camera expander can have up to 8 wireless PIR
cameras programmed.
Figure 1: System structure
Camera activation
The system with a wireless PIR camera expander can have up to 8 wireless PIR
cameras programmed. Each camera can be activated in case of the following
events:
• Activation of one of 4 assigned zones. Zones are assigned in menu “4.3.n.2
Pics by zone” on page 11.
In this case camera event type depends on the zone type. See “Camera
event types” on page 3.
• Activation of a condition filter. The event type is defined for the programmed
filter. See “4.3 Cameras” on page 10.
• Activation of a standard reporting event. See “4.3.n.4 Pics by rep ev” on page
12.
• User command.
• Remote request from configuration software.
The number and the quality of pictures taken depend on the camera event type.
See “Programming menus” on page 7 for details.

[1] Zones of particular types do not activate camera. These are 8. Exit terminator, 9. Keyswitch,
17. Eng. reset. When an assigned zone is one of the listed types, it is ignored when active.
[2] If the camera has been activated by a standard reporting event, another event caused by
camera activation does not occur.
Detailed codes and subevent values are described in Advisor Advanced Programming
Manual.
[3] Custom type events can only be activated by condition filters.
Each of these types can be configured in “2.2.2.n.4.09.1 Pic settings” on page 7.
Depending on camera event type, the camera can be programmed to take a
single picture or a series of pictures, in low or high resolutions.

Application example
Figure 2 below shows an example of wireless PIR camera application.
Figure 2: Application example
(1) Intrusion zone 3, PIR camera 3
(2) Access zone 2, PIR camera 2
(3) Entry/exit zone 1, door contact
(4) Intrusion zone 5, PIR camera 5
(5) Intrusion zone 4, door/window sensor
(6) Intrusion zone 6, door/window sensor
In the example above, camera 3 (item 1) is activated not only by built-in PIR
camera, but also by zones 4 (item 5) and 2 (item 2). This makes possible taking
pictures of the intruder escape path.
ATS1238 expander
PIR Camera expands Advisor Advanced control panel inputs with 868 MHz AM
wireless transmitter sensors.
ATS1238 also supports wireless PIR cameras. For intrusion alarm events the
868 MHz AM connection is used. The additional camera video verification
functionality uses the 2.4 GHz connection.
Fob buttons can be programmed to set and unset premises, or to control relays.
For example, a fob can be used to open and close a garage door remotely.
ATS1238 supports maximum 8 wireless PIR cameras and sensors (total of 32)
and 16 fobs. ATS1238 expands the panel with 32 zones.
Note: Only one ATS1238 can be connected to the control panel. Install ATS1235
expanders to increase number of sensors and fobs.
ATS1238 requires the following ATS Advanced control panel firmware versions:
MR_022.022.0110 or later.

PIR Camera Reference Manual 5
The wireless expander is powered from the Advisor Advanced control panel MI
bus.
Installation
ATS1238 is mounted inside Advisor Advanced large plastic housing.
WARNING: Electrocution hazard. To avoid personal injury or death from
electrocution, remove all sources of power and allow stored energy to discharge
before installing or removing equipment.
Refer to ATS1238 Advanced Wireless DGP Installation Sheet for details on
installation and address setting.
Programming
The ATS1238 expander is programmed using the Advisor Advanced control
panel programming menu. Refer to Advisor Advanced Programming Manual for
details.
To activate the expander, use the Devices submenu of the Advisor Advanced
programming menu. See “Programming menus” on page 7 for details.
Wireless PIR camera
Description
A wireless PIR camera is a wireless PIR detector with a camera built-in. The
camera can be programmed to take pictures in case of activation of associated
zones, conditional filters, as well as by manual activation or remote requests.
See “Camera activation” on page 2 for more details.
Installation
The PIR camera is intended to be mounted on walls but can also be mounted on
ceilings by using a mounting bracket.
Use the following guidelines to determine the best location to install the PIR
camera.
• Mount the PIR camera so the expected movement of an intruder is across the
detection pattern.
• Mount the PIR camera at a stable surface at a height between 1.8 m and
3.0 m from the floor.
• Do not mount the PIR camera within 0.5 m of metallic objects or within 1.5 m
of fluorescent lights.
• Do not place objects in front of the PIR camera that may prevent a clear line
of sight.
• Place PIR cameras at least 1 m apart from each other.
Avoid potential causes of instability, such as:
• Direct sunlight on the detector
6 PIR Camera Reference Manual
• Heat sources within the detector field of view
• Strong air draughts onto the detector
• Animals in the field of view
• Obscuring the detector field of view with large objects, such as furniture
We recommend that the PIR camera is regularly walk tested and checked at the
control panel.
Programming
Wireless PIR camera is programmed using the Advisor Advanced programming
menu.
How to program a camera:
1. Program the wireless PIR camera expander. See “ATS1238 expander” on
page 4 for more details.
2. Program a wireless PIR camera as a wireless PIR detector. See
“Programming menus specific for PIR camera” on page 7 for more details.
If the detector is programmed successfully, the appropriate camera is created
automatically. The created camera number is equal to the zone number of the
wireless PIR detector.
3. Program the camera options. See “4.3 Cameras” on page 10.
4. Assign zones to the camera. Choose up to four zones. The camera is useful if
its field of view covers these zones or possible burglar escape paths from
there.
By default, the first assigned zone is the zone of the wireless detector built in
the configured wireless PIR camera.
5. If necessary, program conditional event filters that activate the camera.
6. If necessary, program reporting events that activate the camera.
Troubleshooting
Camera busy message
Camera busy message may appear when a camera or a wireless expander do
not respond to a request because one the following operations is currently in
progress:
• Erasing picture memory on the wireless expander
• Running RSSI test
• Running RF diagnostic test
• Running range test
• Setting camera mode (for example, unsetting the system
• Taking pictures according to other request
• Running walk test
• Learning in camera
• Updating current state (occurs for 2 to 3 s every 17 minutes)
PIR Camera Reference Manual 7
Solution: repeat the request after a delay of a few seconds.
Camera error message
Camera error message appears due to one of the following states:
• Processing another request for longer than 20 s (for example, reporting
pictures for previous request for this camera)
• Communication failed
Solutions:
• Repeat the request in a few minutes
• Verify power supply
• Verify communication quality
See also “Camera diagnostics” on page 16.

If the device is programmed successfully, the keypad beeps twice.
Camera unregistering
Note: Once learned, the PIR camera cannot be learned on another wireless
expansion without prior unregistering from a previous expansion. To unregister
the PIR camera, revert it to the factory settings by following these steps:
1. Remove the PIR camera from mounting plate.
2. Insert factory setting jumper.
3. Remove batteries.
4. Wait 10 seconds.
5. Insert batteries.
