Introduction

The ever impressive NiteDevil technology is now
built into a wide range of our HD-SDI cameras.

Our incredible 2.1 megapixel HD-SDI cameras record
1080p broadcast quality images at 25fps, that’s
20x the quality of the average analogue alternative.
Connect these cameras to one of our HD-SDI DVRs
and you’ll have an unrivalled CCTV system.

We offer a variety of HD-SDI cameras to suit any
environment, from tiny module cameras and mini
bullets to external all-in-one IR cameras.

As well as new systems, our HD-SDI cameras and alien
DVRs offer a potential upgrade opportunity as they
are designed to work over co-ax. By using co-ax cable
already installed for an old analogue system it’s easy
to make the transition to HD-SDI.

The power connection terminals (marked in red) are

not polarity sensitive, therefore the power can be

connected either way round. However, the RS485
connections are polarity sensitive and must be
connected as shown in the diagram above.

CAM320 - 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 fl exible silicone product. This is because

the rubber grommet may shrink or get stressed over time.

The wall bracket helps
shield the camera
to prevent rain from
settling on the dome
and obscuring the
camera’s vision. It also
shelters the cable entry
point offering better
protection against the
elements.

.

C Or CS Mount Lenses

Most lenses are available in 2 different mounting options - C mount
and CS mount.

CS mount lenses are now the most popular size as they are shorter
and more compact than C mount lenses. Most cameras are now

manufactured to accept CS mount lenses. Before tting the lens you

need to verify that you are using a CS mount lens with the camera.

You can conrm this with your lens supplier or the literature that

came with your lens, check the instructions or packaging to see if
your lens is a C or a CS mount version.

If your lens is a C mount type you can still t it to the camera. Please

see the on-line Tip 323 at www.nitedevil.com.

Using A CS Mount Lens

If you are using a standard CS mount lens you can screw the
lens straight into the camera without the need for the C-CS
adapter ring (supplied).

C-mount to CS-mount
adapter ring supplied

Adjusting The Inner Focus Ring

Once you have  tted the lens, if you have a picture on the
monitor but cannot correctly focus the lens by the  ne focal

adjust on the lens itself, you may need to alter the inner
adjusting ring that is screwed into the end of the camera. This
ring enables the lens to either “sit” a little closer or a little further
away from the camera to get a sharp focused image when
using lenses from different manufacturers.

OSD

Menu &

Settings Guide

Starts On Page 20

To adjust the inner focus ring you will need to  rst remove

the lens. Next loosen the small cross-head screw which in
turn loosens the inner focus ring as shown.

This is a trial and error process by moving the ring in or out say
by ½ turn then locking it again, re-attaching the lens and trying
to refocus. It is possible (with common sense!) to work out whether
the lens needs to be nearer or further away from the camera by
watching for improvements in focus at each attempt.

NOTE If it appears that the lens will never be in focus then it is

possible that you are trying to  t a C-mount lens on the
camera, not a CS-mount lens. If this is the case you will
have to add the adapter ring to the lens that was provided
free with the camera. The adapter ring looks like this:

camera for connecting the camera to a test monitor.

Tables showing the CAM380’s menu structure and options
available can be found on pages 21 - 27.

When screwing the front back onto camera, make
sure the seal is as tight as possible to prevent
moisture entering the camera.

If installed on a damp or humid day ensure you
wipe the inside of the camera with a dry, lint free
cloth to avoid any moisture being trapped inside.

Accessing The Menus

RS485

The CAM320 and the CAM341-344 range also has traditional
RS485 PELCO-D control and has 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.

To make life easier, all the HD-SDI cameras covered in

this book have virtually the same simple menu system.

You can access the menus in the camera in two ways:

LCD330

1

Menu control buttons on the rear of the camera
or OSD menu controller.

2

RS485 control using a keyboard, DVR,
or CCTVMate test monitor.

(CAM320, CAM341-344 & CAM380)

Menu Control Buttons

To access the menus using the
Menu control buttons or OSD
menu controller, simply press the
SET button down and the menu
will pop up on the camera’s
image. Use the arrow keys to
navigate through the menus.
Selection is made by pressing
the set button.

When using a test monitor you must use
the CVBS test output unless the test monitor
specifies it is HD-SDI compatible.

Getting The Most Out Of The NiteDevil HD-SDI Range What the menu options do

The NiteDevil HD-SDI range 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:

Exposure

In the exposure settings you are able to adjust the shutter speed
and sensitivity of the CCD to control how much light is collected

by the camera. This allows you to congure the camera to

achieve the best image possible based on the environment in
which it is situated.

Shutter

Controls how long the CCD is exposed to light. A slow shutter
(opened for longer periods of time) makes the image brighter
but any movement may appear blurred.

The shutter speed can be set to auto so that it automatically
adjusts to changes in light levels producing bright images all
the time. You can also manually set the shutter speed so that it
is tailored to the environment in which it is installed.

AGC (Automatic Gain Control)

AGC automatically adjusts the Video amplitude under various
lighting conditions to maintain a bright image. You can choose

the level of amplitude however setting it too high could produce
a noisy image in low light conditions.

Sens-Up

Sens-up technology makes the camera more sensitive to light
giving better quality images in low light situations. You can

set by how much the camera’s sensitivity to light is intensied.

Backlight

Generally there are 3 backlight modes, WDR (Wide Dynamic
Range), BLC (Backlight Compensation) and HSBLC (High
Suppression Backlight Compensation). All 3 modes are
included on all camera models featured in this book. Each
mode is designed to correct the brightness of the image in
different environments as described below:

WDR Digitally adjusts the exposure in different parts of the

image to maintain optimum levels in both the dark
and the bright areas.

The strength of the WDR lter can be set to Low, Middle
or High depending on the difference between the
bright and dark areas of the image.

BLC Adjusts the exposure of the entire image to properly

expose a subject in the foreground when a bright light
source, such as a window, is situated behind it.

You can choose the level of compensation for a bright
background between Low, Middle and High as well
setting the area of the camera’s image for which to
compensate.

HSBLC Masks areas of intense light to properly expose other

areas of the image. For example a car’s headlights
would be masked reducing glare making the number
plate visible.

When HSBLC is enabled the camera will automatically
mask bright areas of the camera’s image. Additionally
you can manually set the size, position and strength of
up to 4 masking areas.

White Balance

White balance is congured so that objects appear a natural

colour. There are various ways this can be achieved as
explained below.

ATW (Auto Tracking White Balance)

The white balance is continuously adjusted according to the
colour temperature of the image.

AWC

Automatically sets the white balance by holding a white object
such as a piece of paper or card in-front of the camera and
pressing set.

Indoor

Makes allowances for articial light sources and adjusts the

image’s colour accordingly.

Outdoor

Makes allowances for natural light sources and adjusts the
image’s colour accordingly.

Manual

Allows you to manually ne tune the white balance of the

image.

Day & Night

In the day & night settings you can control if or when the
camera switches between a colour and a black & white image.

NiteDevil technology can still produce a colour image in
low light situations, however, in extremely low light situations

30

Manual ref: XND-HD-01

Getting The Most Out Of The NiteDevil HD-SDI Range What the menu options do

switching to a black & white image could produce a better
quality image.

Auto

Auto is the most commonly used option. The camera will
automatically switch to a black & white image when it detects
light levels have dropped below a usable level.

A delay can be set of up to 60 seconds which will instruct
the camera to wait for the set length of time before switching.
This accommodates for any temporary drops in light such as
passing clouds.

The gain can also be telling the camera to increase or decrease
the video amplitude when switching from day to night and night
to day.

Colour

The camera is forced to permanently produce a colour image.
This is great in environments where there is constant light but
could result in poor quality images in low light situations. As
long as the camera is in colour mode the IR LEDs will not turn on.

B & W (Black & White)

The camera will permanently produce a black & white image.

This is only recommended in areas where the light levels are
always extremely low.

There are various settings to ensure the camera produces the
best B & W image possible. Burst compensates for sudden
changes in light levels. IR Smart closes the iris when a subject
is close to the camera to darken the image and prevent over
saturation. You also have the option to enable and disable the
IR LEDs.

Ext (External)

The switch between colour and black & white is controlled by an
external trigger such as a photocell.

Again a delay can be set which will instruct the camera to wait
for a set length of time before switching. This accommodates for
any temporary drops in light

Privacy

Allows the user to “block out” up to 8 areas in the picture so that
the installation complies with the Data Protection Act and avoids
infringing other people’s privacy rights. This could be used to
block out windows on a neighbouring property or screens and
signs that display sensitive information.

Movement detected Automatic Digital Zoom

NR (Noise Reduction)

Noise reduction is the process of applying a lter to the image

to reduce noise form the video signal. There are a number of NR
options as explained below.

Level

Is a basic lter to reduce small amounts of noise from the

foreground of the image.

2DNR

Applies a digital lter to reduce noise from the foreground of

the camera’s image.

3DNR

Applies a digital lter to reduce noise from both the foreground

and the background of the camera’s image even in low light
conditions.

Setting the level determines how strong a lter is applied and

the sensitivity sets the tolerance as to what is considered noise.

Smart NR

Enabled will reduce noise with very little loss of detail.

Getting The Most Out Of The NiteDevil HD-SDI Range What the menu options do

D-Zoom

Enables the user to digitally zoom in on an area of the image if
the optical lens is not quite enough. PIP (Picture In Picture) can
be enabled so that a small window showing the original size
image is overlaid onto the screen when zoomed in.

Smart D-Zoom

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

The area, sensitivity and level of zoom can all be set.

Fault Finding

Every NiteDevil camera is built to the highest standards and is fully
tested prior to packing so if you experience an installation problem
you need to investigate your cabling, connections, power supply
and monitor.

No picture from the HD-SDI

There are a number of potential problems that could cause this.

Step 1 The camera can not function without the correct

power supply.

A.

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. A 12V DC camera should
have at least 10.5V DC connected to it. 24V AC
cameras should have at least 21.5V AC connected
to them.

B.

For 12V DC cameras only ever use regulated power
supplies so that you can be sure that the camera is
always receiving the correct voltage.

Step 2

Check there is a picture coming out of the CVBS test
output 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 the run is too long.
Usually you would get a picture up to around
100mtrs with HD-SDI. Anything above this would
require a HD-SDI repeater (featured on

page 35

)

every 100mtrs.

B.

Check the quality of the cable used. For best results,
especially with HD-SDI, use a cable with a solid
copper core such as our antihum branded cable on

page 37. Cable with a solid copper core suffers far

less signal loss than cheaper, inferior cable which
only has a copper coated core.

Power Supplies’ at nitedevil.com.

Fault Finding

C.

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.

D.

Ensure all connections to both the camera and DVR

are rm and secure.

E.

Make sure that there are no tight bends or loops in
the cable. The minimum bend radius for RG59 co-ax
cable is 60mm.

See online

Tip 300

for our ‘Top Tips When Installing

Cable’ and

Tip 281

for the ‘Dos And Don’ts For

Running Co-ax’ at nitedevil.com.

Test monitor doesn’t display an image

Make sure the test monitor is connected to the camera’s CVBS
test output and not the HD-SDI output. A lot of test monitors do not
accept HD-SDI signals.

Can’t control via 2 wire RS485

If your camera seems unresponsive when attempting to control it
via RS485 check the following.

A.

RS485 wires crossed over, try swapping around.

B.

Wrong protocol and baud rate selected.
