Introduction

The IRIS106 is a fully controllable Pan, Tilt and Zoom CCTV camera with low
light operation, designed specifically for use on boats as a security safety and
situational awareness aid.

The Camera is designed to be a small and low-profile as possible so that it
doesn’t protrude too much from head linings and so that it blends into the
aesthetic of the vessel. It’s marine grade stainless steel bezel features a high
polish finish and the mirrored dome provides enhanced privacy.

Key features include:

• Sony High Resolution Camera Module - 700TVL

• 10x Optical Zoom

• 10x Digital Zoom

• High Speed Pan and Tilt

• Proportional Control

• Auto Focus

• Automatic Day / Night Filter switches from colour during the day, to
monochrome at night or in low light for enhanced image clarity

• Built-in Fan to reduce condensation in hot environments

• Compact 3” Mirror Dome

• Marine Grade 316 Stainless Steel Bezel

• IP66 Water Resistant

• RS485 Communication / Pelco D Protocol

Installation

To install the IRIS106 you will need the following tools:

• Drill with 105mm Hole Saw

• Drill Bit for Pilot Holes (2mm)

• Cross Headed Screw Driver

• Hand tools for connecting cables (unless pre-made cables are being
used), including wire cutters, wire stripper.

• Appropriate tool for terminating BNC connector (unless pre-made
cables are being used), such as knife to remove coax cable outer
sheath and dielectric, BNC Crimp Tool, Cable Insulation Stripper.

• Marine Sealant

Before you begin the installation, please take time to consider the
following important points:

• Always wear safety goggles, dust mask and ear protection when
drilling, cutting or sanding. Where suitable gloves when handling fibre
glass and GRP.

• Before drilling or cutting always ensure there are no obstructions,
cables or equipment on the opposite side of the surface you're working
on. Also ensure there is sufficient space behind the surface to
accommodate the body of the camera, and cabling and ensure you can
get the necessary cables to the camera position.

• Observe safe working procedures when working with electricity. Do not
connect the equipment to live power sources until correct, safe
termination through an appropriately rated fuse or breaker is made. Do
not attempt to install this product unless you are a certified electrical
installer. Failure to do so could result in injury or death.

• It is advised that before the equipment is fixed down, check that
desired viewing angles can be achieved in the intended installation
position, and that the equipment will not obstruct other equipment or
fixtures in it's intended position (such as doors or walkways for

Iris Innovations: IRIS106 User Guide. v1.00 072013

example). If possible, power the item up and offer the camera up in the
vicinity of the desired installation position to double check suitability.

Cabling:

The camera has a 30cm cable tail which has a 2.5mm DC Barrel Jack (female)
to connect power, bare stripped and tinned wires (colour coded red and black)
for the RS485 serial control data) and a 75Ω BNC (female) connector for the
video signal, therefore it will be almost inevitable that the power, data and video
cables will need to be extended. In a typical installation, the video cable will
need to be routed back to the monitor (or chart plotter), the data pair will need
to be routed back to the controller or RS485 Data Distributor in larger installa­tions and the power pair will need to be routed back to the boats distribution
panel. See the illustration below:

controller is fed into the input of the RS485 Serial Data Expander, and

data to each camera is connected to the outputs. This keeps the data

‘clean’ and prevents data cross talk and over-runs. Video from each

camera is fed into a VDA (Video Distribution Amplifier), which feeds two

MFD’s. Power not shown to keep diagram simple.

Cabling (continued...)

The following cable specifications apply:

Video: 75Ω Coaxial Cable such as RG59, URM70, RG174 Mini-Coax.
Data: Single Twisted Pair
Power: 2 core. Rated 12VDC - max Current 1A

Individual cables can be run for each of the above, or 'Combination' (Combi)
cables can be used. Iris Innovations supply pre-made cables to length. Please
contact Iris for more details.

Camera Setup:

Before you can control the camera you need to ensure the cameras protocol
details and physical address are correctly set.

By default, the camera leaves the factory set up as follows:

Camera Address: 1

Camera Protocol: Pelco D

Baud Rate: 9600

Iris strongly recommend that the protocol and baud rate are not changed. The
IRIS516 controller will only control the camera with Pelco-D protocol and at
9600 baud.

You may however be required to change the address of the device. Each
camera must have it’s own unique address so that it only responds to
commands destined for it.

Camera Address:

To change the cameras address, remove the panel on the base of the unit and
select the desired address using the DIP switches on bank 2. Bank 2 has 8
switches which are used to select to binary address. A camera address table is
included at the end of this document. Do not alter the settings of the DIP
switches on switch bank 1.

Camera Address (continued...)

The example below (Fig 3.0) shows the camera address set to 1, as switch 1 is
set to the ON position as shown by the arrow. As the switches set the binary
address, to set the cameras address to 2, set switch 1 to OFF and switch 2 to
ON. To set the camera to address 3, ensure both switches 1 and 2 are set to
the ON position. For address 4, switches 1 and 2 should be OFF and switch 3
should be ON. The value of each switch doubles. The value of each individual
switch is listed below:

Switch 1 = 1. Switch 2 = 2. Switch 3 = 4. Switch 4 = 8. Switch 5 = 16. Switch
6 = 32. Switch 7 = 64. Switch 8 = 128

Fig.3.0: Example of Camera Address set to 1

Fig.3.1: Example of Camera Address set to 9. Switch 1 has a value of 1 and

switch 4 has a value of 8, therefore 1 + 8 = 9

Iris Innovations: IRIS106 User Guide. v1.00 072013

Fitting the Camera:

Step 1: After you have established the desired mounting position and are

happy there are no obstacles behind the surface into which you are drilling, use
a 105mm hole saw to carefully create the circular recess into which the camera
body will sit.

Step 2: Once the mounting hole has been cut offer the camera into place and
mark off the 4 fixing holes. Remove the camera carefully and use the 2mm drill
bit to create 4 pilot holes. Now, once the cables have been run and connected
up, re-insert the camera body into the recess and line up the four fixing holes
with the pilot holes. Fix the camera in place with the four self tapping screws
supplied. It is recommended that a marine grade sealant is used to add a bead
of sealant behind the flange so that a seal is formed when the camera is
screwed into place.

Step 3: Power up the camera to test operation. Upon power-up, the camera
will perform a short initialization routine whereby it will pan and tilt to find it’s
limits. On your screen will be listed the cameras physical address, protocol and
baud rate and show the status of each initialization test. This should last for
around thirty seconds whereafter the cameras video will be displayed and you
should now be able to control the camera.

Step 4: Now carefully screw the bezel into position. Care should be taken to
avoid cross threading the bezel at this stage and it is vital that the bezel is
tightly screwed into position.

Operation

Now the camera is installed, powered up from a suitably rated and protected
12VDC power source and the video is hooked up to the monitoring (or
switching / recording / routing ) equipment, the camera can be controlled using

any controller, MFD or interface that supports the widely available Pelco D
protocol.

Panning:

The camera pans through 360˚ continuously. Simply move the controller in the

desired direction of travel.

Tilting:

The camera tilts through 180˚ with an automatic ‘Auto-Flip’ feature so that the

camera image is automatically flipped when the camera reaches its tilt appex
(ie, points directly downwards) in order to correct the video orientation.

Zoom:

The camera features 10x optical zoom (F=4.9mm ~ 49mm). When the camera
reaches the extent of it’s optical zoom range it will automatically switch to
digital zoom. With digital zoom, each pixel that makes up the image is
multiplied in size in order to increase the overall image size.

Focus:

By default, the camera is set to Autofocus.

Preset Positions:

The camera features 256 user definable ‘memory’ locations, known as Presets.
These can be used to save physical pan/tilt positions into memory and recalled

Iris Innovations: IRIS106 User Guide. v1.00 072013

at the touch of a button. Refer to the documentation of the controller for details
on how to save and recall preset positions.

OSD Menu (Extended Features)

The camera features many extended features and settings that are accessed
via an On Screen Display (OSD) menu. OSD Menu functionality may or maynot

be supported depending on the control interface. The OSD Menu is accessed
by calling Preset 95. To exit the OSD menu call preset 56.

Navigating OSD Menu

• Menu items with <> symbols indicate a drop down menu

• To access sub-menu, press either Near Focus or move joystick Right

• To return to the previous menu select the BACK option

• Use the joystick to navigate through menu options

• Use UP and Down to change values

• To save changes use Iris OPEN. To un-save use Iris CLOSE

Important:

Changing certain values within the OSD menu can effect the control of the
camera and it’s functionality. It is greatly recommended that values within the
OSD are left as default. For more information contact Iris Innovations Technical
Support.
