SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION

SECTION 1

Introduction

The BLACK Line™ 700 TVL 36x zoom outdoor PTZ camera enables you to pan, tilt and zoom in on suspicious activity within the area under observation and capture high resolution video of open spaces such as parking lots, shopping malls and sports facilities.

The BLACK PTZ camera features a 1/4" Sony® 960H CCD image sensor, 36x optical zoom, 16x digital zoom and delivers 700 TV lines of color resolution and 750 TV lines of black and white resolution for crisp, high resolution video. The PTZ camera is also equipped with enhanced imaging features such as digital wide dynamic range (DWDR) and 3D digital noise reduction (3D-DNR) to reduce video noise, as well as true day/night (ICR) to capture sharp detailed images 24 hours a day in both daytime and nighttime conditions.

The PTZ camera features 225 programmable presets, 8 patrols with up to 32 presets per patrol, selectable automatic gain control, plus a 360° endless pan range, -5° ~ 90° tilt range, 0.1°/s ~ 250°/s pan speed and 0.1°/s ~ 150°/s tilt speed. The PTZ camera has a very wide operating temperature range of -22 °F ~ 149 °F that makes it suitable for capturing video in cold climates, along with an IP66 weather-rated housing to withstand a variety of elements and environmental conditions. The PTZ camera also features privacy zone masking, 256x sense up and oers TVS 4,000 V lighting surge protection and voltage transient protection.

1.1 Features

OSD (on-screen display)

The on-screen display is a text image superimposed on video. The text displays status information and conguration menus.

Self-adaptive Protocol

The camera is compatible with PELCO-D, PELCO-P, PRIVATE-Code, etc., and is capable of being self-adaptive to these protocols.

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. The scanning speed can be set by OSD menu from level 1 to 40, with the corresponding speed ranging from 1°/second to 40°/second.

SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION

Preset Freeze Frame

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 azimuth/elevation, zoom and other operations can be setup by menus and 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.

Proportional Pan

Proportional pan 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 will be slower for a given amount of joystick deection 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. You can also switch it to NIGHT mode manually to increase the sensitivity in low light conditions.

Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)

The wide dynamic range function helps the camera provide clear images even under back light conditions. When there are both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously in the eld of view, WDR balances the brightness level of the entire image and provide clear image detail.

36x PTZ Dome Camera User Manual

White Balance

White balance is the white rendition function of the camera to adjust the color temperature according to the environment automatically. It can remove the unrealistic color casts in the image.

Patrol

The camera provides up to 8 patrols. In each patrol, user is allowed to 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 (alarm, park, time task, or power-up). By default the focus and iris are in auto status during the preset is being memorized.

Power-o Memory

This feature causes the dome to resume its previous position or status after power is restored. By default setting, the dome supports the power-o memory capability with the dwell time of 3 minutes.

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.

This section includes camera installation using a wall mount bracket (see “2.2 Camera wall mount installation” on page 11) and ceiling mounting bracket (see “2.3 Ceiling mounting” on page 14). For other bracket types, use the procedures included here as guidelines.

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 3 Getting Started” on page 16 and “SECTION 4 Using the OSD Menus” on page 19 for more information.

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 dome cover is removed. To setup the DIP switches, do the following:

1. Loosen the two lock screws as shown in the following gure.

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

. For grounding instructions, refer to local electrical codes and this manual.

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).

Star-shaped connection

Signal transmission in the star-shaped architecture can be greatly improved by adding an RS-485 distributor. This product eectively changes the star-shape connection to one that satises the requirement of the RS-485 industry standard. See the diagram below.

APPENDIX C: 24 VAC WIRE GAUGE AND TRANSMISSION DISTANCE

APPENDIX C

24 Vac Wire Gauge and Transmission Distance

The following table shows the recommended maximum distance adopted for the dierent wire sizes when the 24 Vac voltage loss is less than 10%. For the AC driven device, the maximum voltage loss rate allowable is 10%. For example, for a device with the rating power of 80 VA which is installed 35 feet (10 m) from the transformer, the minimum wire gauge required is 0.8000 mm.
