SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
Keyboard Control
The pan/tilt movement and zoom actions of camera can be controlled by the control keyboard, DVR, matrix, etc.
Limit Stops
The dome can be programmed to move within the limit stops (left/right, up/down) which are congurable by the control keyboard, DVR or client application software.
Scan Modes
The dome provides 5 scanning modes: pan scanning, tilt scanning, frame scanning, random scanning and panorama scanning.
Preset Freezing
This feature freezes the scene on the monitor when moving to a preset. This allows for smooth transition from one preset scene to another and also guarantees that masked areas will not be revealed when moving to a preset.
Presets
Each of the user-denable presets can be programmed to use pan, tilt, camera settings and other settings. When a preset is called, the dome will automatically move to the dened position. The user can add, modify, delete and call each preset.
Label Display
The on-screen label of the preset title, PT display, zoom, and time can be displayed on the monitor.
Auto Flip
In manual tracking mode, when a target object moves directly beneath the dome, the dome will automatically rotate 180 degrees in the horizontal direction to maintain continuity of tracking.
Privacy Mask
The privacy mask allows the user to dene areas of the eld of view that cannot be seen by the operator of the camera. A masked area will move with pan and tilt functions and automatically adjust in size when the lens zoom changes.
3D Positioning
The camera can be controlled with a mouse and the PRIVATE-Code protocol. Clicking a spot can direct the camera position the spot in the center of the image. When a rectangular area is selected with the left mouse button, the camera will move to its center and enlarge it. Right click the mouse to zoom in. The scroll wheel can control lens zoom. Mouse cursor movement can also control zoom eects.
3
36x PTZ IR Outdoor Camera User Manual
Proportional Pan/Tilt
Proportional pan/tilt 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 are slower than at wide zoom settings. This keeps the image from moving too fast on the monitor when there is a large amount of zoom.
Auto Focus
Auto focus enables the camera to focus automatically to maintain clear video images.
Day/Night Auto-switch
The camera provides color images during the day. As light diminishes at night, it switches to night mode and delivers black and white images with high quality.
Slow Shutter
Slow shutter function extends the exposure time to accumulate more light when the light condition is low, resulting in a brighter image.
Backlight Compensation (BLC)
Back Light Compensation ensures proper exposure of subjects in the foreground. Back light compensation adjusts the camera’s exposure in challenging lighting environments such as hallways and doorways, so the entire image of the subject in the foreground is properly exposed when there is a bright light source behind the subject.
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)
This feature enables the camera to produce clearer images in less than ideal lighting conditions. WDR balances the contrast of light and shadow to improve visibility in dark areas within a scene.
White Balance
White balance is the white rendition function of the camera to automatically adjust the color temperature according to the environment. It can remove the unrealistic color casts in the image.
Patrol
The camera provides up to 8 patrols. In each patrol, you can specify the scanning track by a group of user-dened 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 congured function. By default the focus and iris are in auto status during the preset is being memorized.
SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION

Power-o Memory
This feature causes the camera to resume its previous position or status after power is restored.
Time Task
A time task is a precongured action that can be performed automatically at a specic 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/night mode or none.
Park Action
This feature allows the dome to start a predened action automatically after a period of inactivity.

AC power supply
Installation guide (this user manual)
Mounting brackets are sold separately.
2.1 Setup the camera address and baud rate DIP switches
DIP switches inside the camera are used to manually congure the RS-485 device address and network baud rate. The device address and baud rate can also be congured remotely through the OSD (on-screen display) using a control console, DVR or DVS. See “SECTION 4 Using the OSD Menus” on page 18 for more information.
NOTE
If you are installing several RS-485 network devices at the same time, manually setting the DIP switches for address and baud rate will help reduce connectivity issues during the initial setup of those devices.
There are two DIP switch groups, SW1 switches 1 .. 8 (sets the RS-485 network address) and SW2 switches 1 and 2 (sets the RS-485 network baud rate). The address setup for the camera must be unique for each device on the RS-485 network. However, the baud rate switched must be congured to the same baud rate used by the other devices on the network. These switches are accessible when the “SWITCH” cover is removed. To setup the DIP switches, do the following:
1. While viewing the camera from the underside, remove the plate marked “SWITCH”.

APPENDIX A: LIGHTENING AND SURGE PROTECTION
APPENDIX A
Lightning and Surge Protection
This product includes TVS plate lightning protection technology to prevent damage caused by a pulse signal that is below 3000 watts from sources such as lighting, surging, etc. Protection measures must be taken to ensure electrical safety.
The distance between signal transmission line and high-voltage equipment or high-voltage cable is at least 50 m.
Outdoor wiring should better be along the eaves as much as possible.
In the open eld, wiring should be buried underground in sealed steel pipe with one-point grounding. Overhead routing
method is not acceptable.
In regions with thunderstorms or where high induction voltage are present (such as high-voltage transformer substation),
high power lightning protection apparatus and lightning conductor are necessary.
The design for installation and wiring with lightning protection and grounding should be combined with the lightning
protection consideration of the building, and conform to the relevant national and industry standards.
The system should ensure equi-potential grounding. Grounding equipment must satisfy both system anti-jamming and
electric safety. It must not allow short circuit and open circuit with the zero conductor of strong grid. When the system is singularly ground, the resistance must be no more than 4 Ω and the cross-sectional area of the grounding cable must be no less than 25 mm

RS-485 Bus Connection
General Property of RS-485 Bus
RS-485 is a half-duplex communication bus that has a 120 Ω characteristic impendence. The maximum load ability is 32 payloads (including controller device and controlled device).
RS-485 Bus Transmission Distance
For 0.56 mm (24AWG) twisted-pair wire, the maximum transmission distance for dierent baud rates is shown as below:
Max. Distance of RS-485 transmission with 24AWG wire
Baud rate Maximum distance
240 0 bps 5900 f t (1800 m)
4800 bps 3900 ft (1200 m)
9600 bps 2600 ft (800 m)
The transmission distance is decreased for thinner cable, when the wire is exposed to strong electromagnetic interference. If many devices are installed on the bus, the transmission distance is increased.
Connection Methods
RS-485 industry bus standard requires a daisy-chain connection method between any devices, both sides have to connect a 120 Ω terminal resistance (see the diagram Connection 1 below). The simplied connection method is shown as diagram 2; the distance of “D” should be short.

Problems in the practical application - star-shaped architecture
Although the star-shape connection method is commonly used, it does not satisfy the requirement of the RS-485 industry. This architecture can lead to problems such as signal reection, uncontrollable or self-running cameras, and anti-jamming inability with devices that are far away. In the star-shaped connection, the termination resistors are usually placed in the two devices that are farthest apart (see gures below).
