Introduction

2

With a built in Balun the camera can be installed with either

CAT5 or Composite co-ax cable allowing  exible installation

options. The camera’s menu can be controlled by “up the co-ax
telemetry” (PELCO-C) or additional 2-wire telemetry (PELCO-D)
making it easier to set up on site and remotely.

Dual power (12V DC and 24V AC), a clever internal connection
PCB for neat and fast installation and stunning picture quality

make the CAM220 & 230 great  rst choice CCTV Dome

cameras for any installation.

Mounting The Camera

The camera can be mounted on a wall, ceiling or attached to
an optional wall bracket.

To ensure that the camera is weatherproof, a rubber grommet is
provided through which the cable enters the camera.

Prior to the end of the installation you need to additionally

seal the grommet with a  exible silicone product. This is

because the rubber grommet may shrink or get stressed by
cable movement over time.

TIP

The wall bracket
helps prevent
rain obscuring
the camera’s
vision and also
adds additional

weatherproo ng. It

is a recommended
accessory.

Powering The Camera

The dome requires either a 12V DC regulated power supply or
a 24V AC power supply it draws a maximum current of around
150mA @12V DC.

Connections are not polarity sensitive therefore the power can
be connected either way round, the power terminals are easy
to identify as they are marked in red.

There are four easy ways to cable the camera:

1

RG59+2

No Balun required - easy and simple installation.

2

RG59+4

No Balun required - extra cores allow a DVR with RS485
to control the camera’s OSD.

3

CAT5+2

Requires a balun at the remote end - heavy duty power
cores can power multiple cameras. OSD control by
DVR possible.

4

CAT5

Requires a balun at the remote end - uses the CAT5 cores
for power (Powers single cameras only). OSD control by
DVR possible.

24V AC is a good choice on long cable runs to power the
camera as you get less voltage drop in the power cores,
however if using 24V AC use only CAT5+2 or RG59+2 to avoid
the AC signal interfering with the video signal.

Accessing The Menus

10

You can access the menus in the camera by three means:

1

Micro Joystick on the PCB inside the dome.

2

REM088 Up the co-ax telemetry control.

(Optional extra)

3

RS485 control using a keyboard, DVR,

or CCTVMate test monitor.

Micro Joystick

To access the menus using the
Micro-Joystick simply press the joystick
down and the menu will pop up on the
camera’s image. Gently moving the
joystick up-down-left-right allows you to
navigate through the menus. Selection
is made by another downward push.

REM088

The REM088 simply connects “in-line” with the camera and the
DVR or monitor as shown (Top, right). It’s a very convenient way
to access the camera’s menu system as you can do this after

the camera is installed and  ne tune the camera whilst sitting

comfortably next to the
DVR. It sends the control
signals through the video
co-ax so you don’t need
any additional cables.
REM088 will not work
through Baluns or CAT5.

RS485

The camera also has traditional RS485 Pelco-D control and
has two terminals to connect the RS485 control device to.
PTZ keyboards, some DVRs or the CCTVMate test monitor
all have RS485 control outputs that can control the camera.
This method can be useful to adjust cameras remotely that are
connected to DVRs. The Default setting is BAUDRATE = 9600,
PROTOCOL = PELCO-D, ID =01.

Getting The Most Out Of The Camera What the menu options do

The camera has a comprehensive menu system that allows you to set up
the camera to get the most out of it in different demanding situations,
below is a guide to some of the key functions:

Backlight

This helps make items in front of a bright scene (such as a window on a
bright sunny day) clearer to see by increasing their brightness and making
the background darker.

Exposure

This alters the speed of the shutter on the camera and adjusts its sensitivity.
For maximum sensitivity at night, turn the “SENSUP” to 256, however this
will have some “motion trail” on the image in low light due to the long
exposure time of the camera. In automatic mode, the Sens Up is set at 8X
and suits most applications with good results.

White Balance

This allows the colour adjustment of the camera to be set up so objects
appear a natural colour.

Day & Night

This setting allows you to lock the camera in a colour or B&W mode or
have it automatically switch. You can also adjust the smart IR function that
limits IR glare.

Motion

Allows the camera to display a warning when it detects video motion in
the image.

Privacy

Allows the user to “block out” areas in the picture so that the installation
complies with the Data Protection Act and avoids infringing other people’s
privacy rights.

D-Zoom

Allows the camera to be set to digitally zoom in on an area if the optical
lens is not quite enough.

Smart D-Zoom

Allows the camera to be set up to “automatically” zoom in when it detects
movement. This can be used to get a closer view of faces or number plates.

Mirror

Allows the camera’s picture to be ipped along its horizontal or vertical

axis. Enabling the correct camera picture to be displayed when used for
different applications including as a reversing aid.

Comm ADJ

Allows the camera’s communication settings to be changed.

Movement detected Automatic Digital Zoom

the cost of buying and installing more cable.

The Mules work in pairs. One Mule combines the video
signals to transmit them down 1 single co-ax, the other
Mule then reconstructs the individual video signals at
the remote end. A low-cost, easy solution that offers
huge installation benefits and opportunities to add extra
cameras.

The clever electronics of the CCTV Mule also allow it to
carry audio and RS485 data along the same co-ax cable.
You can even carry three video signals in one direction and

a fourth signal in the other direction!

Accessories - Digital Video Transmission

The VideoMitters are a breakthrough in the

transmission of video signals.

By digitising the video & audio signals, far superior
performance can be achieved in transmission distance and
received image & audio quality.

The innovative VideoMitters can also transmit IR data in the
reverse direction to the transmitted audio and video signals
allowing any device that uses a handheld IR remote to be
controlled from a different room or location without wires.

Simple, effective and low cost, the VideoMitter is an
installer’s dream product saving money on cabling and
labour with outstanding results.

Fault Finding

The camera is built to the highest standards and every unit is
fully tested prior to packing so if you experience an installation
problem you need to investigate your cabling, connections,
power supply and monitor. If you do fail to get a picture on
a monitor you need to check the following things.

Interference on the camera picture

This is usually caused by poor or inadequate cabling, not
observing the correct wiring techniques (CAT5 pairs or cores
mixed up) and for 12V DC powered cameras the use of
unregulated or poorly regulated power supply.

One camera picture overlaid on another
using CAT5

Caused by getting camera cores and pairs mixed up.

Can’t control via 2 wire RS485

A. RS485 wires crossed over, try swapping around.
B. Wrong protocol and baud rate selected, the default settings

are ID -1, BAUD – 9600, PELCO-D.

Can’t control via REM088 (Up the co-ax)

Battery at in REM088 (Check battery voltage with a meter).

No picture

The camera cannot function without the correct working
power supply.

Step 1 Test that the camera has the correct voltage supplying

it, you must do this with the camera connected so that
there is load on the PSU. The camera should have at
least 10.5V DC connected to it.

Step 2 Check there is a picture coming out of the Phono test

point at the camera. If there is a picture here but not at
the DVR it could be one of the following:

A. Video loss in Composite cable as run too long

usually you would get a picture up to around

120mtrs (Remedied by tting a video amp).

B. Ensure that the BNC - BNC lead that you connect
between the camera and monitor has no shorts or
open circuits. If you are making your own
lead, don’t forget the lead must have two wires
connected to complete the circuit, Video and Ground.

C. No Video signal down CAT5 or CAT5+2.
The camera has a Balun built in to it so you need
a balun tting at the remote end. Check you have
used the correct terminals in the camera for the
balun. Check you have used a “pair of cores” not
individual cores from different pairs.
