A NOTE ON CAMERA ADDRESS AND COMMUNICATION

Unlike conventional security cameras, PTZ cameras require an address to communicate with the DVR and operate properly. Unlike analog PTZ cameras, settings on this SDI camera are made within the camera’s internal menu (covered later in Camera Menu). This camera is set with a default address of 1, and a baud rate (communication speed) of 9600 and it will use the Pelco P communication protocol. This means that your camera should be connected to Channel 1 of your DVR and the baud rate and protocol settings on your DVR should be set to match - at least long enough for you to change those settings, if desired. The default baud rate of 9600 allows you to effectively control the camera up to 800 feet away. Areas with electronic interference may require heavier or shielded cabling. The higher the setting (may be required by some DVRs), the shorter the control distance.

If you make any changes to the baud rate and communication protocol within the camera, you will need to make matching changes in the DVR itself in order to control the camera without problem.

NOTE!

connection speeds. Check your system’s manual for the proper settings.

We recommend connecting your camera to your DVR before mounting it as a “dry run” to make sure everything is operating normally. It is much easier to correct a situation such as a forgotten lens cap while the camera is on a table than it is when the camera is mounted high up on a wall. If you will need to change the camera settings such as address, baud rate or communication protocol, this would be the time to do so (see Camera Menu later in this manual).

POWER AND VIDEO CONNECTION

STEP 1. Connect the BNC and power leads

from the camera to the matching connectors on the included video/power/ control cable.

IMPORTANT! When connecting the power and video cable between the camera and the DVR, the “male” power end connects to the matching power lead on the camera.

PTZ CONTROL CONNECTION

In addition to connecting the power and video leads to the camera, you must also connect the two control wire leads to the RS485 ports in the alarm block on the back of the DVR. These blocks can vary in layout as shown below, but the ports used by your DVR are generally labelled “RS485”, “PTZ” or “P/Z”. The RS422 connector will not be used.

As seen in the picture on the upper right, the wire leads from the camera are two different colors and are labelled. They are also pre-installed into a block which plugs into a matching receptacle on the extension cable. The control wire leads at the other end of the extension cable must be inserted into the ports on the back of the DVR. In the case of the RS485 ports being marked as positive (+) and negative (-), the wire designated RS485A (red tip) is the positive lead while the wire marked RS485B (yellow tip) is to go into the negative port. PTZ blocks either have small screws to above each port to secure the wire or require a lock above the port to be depressed with an object like a small screw driver in order to fully insert the wire. In the latter, when the lock is released, an internal clamp will keep the wire ﬁrmly secured in the port. If the wire can easily be removed from the port, then it isn’t secure and you can experience control difﬁculties until it is properly attached. Space permitting, multiple PTZ cameras may be connected to the same ports. They will each require a different address. If you need to mount the camera further than allowed by the included 100’

STEP 2. Connect the power lead on the other

end of the video/power cable into the included 24V 2.2A power supply.

STEP 3. Connect the BNC connector on that

same end of the cable to the Video In port marked 1 on the back of the DVR.

cable, you will need to get a shielded RG59 video/ power cable that runs the entire didstance and a pair of 24-gauge wires to connect to the RS485

You can now plug the camera’s power adapter into a surge protector and turn it on. To protect your investment, we STRONGLY recommended using a surge protector that is UL-1449 rated, for a clamping voltage of 330 or lower, a Joule rating of at least 400 and a response time of 10 nanoseconds or less.

block. SDI cables should not be extended.

Once you have made your connections, you will need to make settings on the DVR in order to control it. You will need to consult your DVR’s manual for this procedure, but a sample screen (from a Q-See QT-series DVR) is shown on the right.

INSTALLING THE CAMERA

When installing your camera, it is important to select a proper site not only for ﬁeld of view, but for other considerations as well:

Distance from viewing/recording device. The further the camera is from the DVR or monitor, the higher the chances of signal degradation. Typical 75Ω Video Cable provides acceptable signal at distances up to 200’ (30m). At greater distances, UL-Listed shielded RG59 should be used. The camera’s power supply should be located as near to the camera as possible when the distance exceeds 200’ as the power level will drop over extended distances resulting in a decrease in video quality.

Do not place near high voltage wires or other sources of electrical interference. Electrical interference will degrade the quality of the signal.

Place camera out of reach to avoid damage.

Avoid direct exposure to weather. Do not place the camera where rain or snow will hit the lens

directly nor should the camera be placed so that the sun or bright light shines directly into the lens. Your camera is weatherproof, but it will not work when submerged in water. Ensure that all power and video connections are not directly exposed to water and are protected from the elements.

Do not place camera behind a window. If there is a light source behind the camera, it can cause a reﬂection in the window that will obscure events on the other side of the glass.

Light levels should be approximately the same between camera and target area. A camera in a brightly-lit area looking into a shaded area, or vice versa, may produce inadequate results.

The above are guidelines and the optimal location for your camera will depend on your unique circumstances. As a general rule, the locations highlighted in green in the picture to the right indicate the best locations to mount your camera. Both locations are sheltered from rain or snow and offer good sight lines to allow your camera to monitor a wide area. Because your camera is weatherproof, it requires less protection than weather-resistant cameras and it can be placed in more exposed locations if needed. Keep in mind that this camera is designed to operate between -4°F – 140°F (-20°C to 60°) with a relative humidity of up to 95%) and consider wind chill and other environmental factors when selecting your location.

Your camera comes with a wall mount (a ceiling mount is available separately from q-seestore.com. Where you locate your camera will determine which mount you will need to use. The mounting surface must be sturdy and able to hold at least ﬁve times the camera’s total weight of 11 pounds (5kg).

The QH8013Z can be controlled using the PTZ controls on the DVR to which it is connected. In addition, as covered in the next section, Camera Menu (Page 14), it can be operated using its own menu. Most users ﬁnd the DVR operation more convenient because of the ease of access. Depending on the software used, it is also possible to control the PTZ camera remotely when you are logged into the DVR via the Internet, a remote monitoring program or a smartphone app.

You can also program a cruise - also called “scan” or “tour” on some systems - so that the camera will perform a set search pattern of the surrounding area. These settings can be made on the DVR or in the camera itself. As mentioned in the section on Connecting the Camera, you will need to consult your DVR’s manual for speciﬁcs on how to enable your system to control your camera. That manual should also contain instructions on how to program points and cruises for the camera to use.

If the DVR channel that your camera is connected to is set to record when motion is detected, the movement of the camera itself will result in constant recording.

GENERAL CRUISE SETUP PROCEDURE

While each DVR system is different in the specifics of how to set up a scan, there are general similarities. Most involve the process of pivoting the camera to the desired starting point and saving that point. Then, by selecting one or more points for the camera to move to in sequence, a scan path is built which is then saved. Often, multiple paths can be saved within the DVR, which can be selected for later use.

These points can be set using a special PTZ keyboard, or by using the PTZ controls on the DVR itself. Two such on-screen interfaces are shown at right; the QT-Series (top) and QCseries (bottom). In both examples, directional control is achieved by using the DVR’s mouse to click on one of the directional arrows. As long as the arrow is held, the camera will move in that direction. The camera can continuously rotate full-circle if desired. The camera’s elevation is limited to 90°.

On both control panels there are controls for zoom, focus and iris (light level). The QH8013Z has a 20x optical zoom lens which will adjust between 4.7 and 94mm. The camera has an auto-focus feature and can be manually adjusted as well.

Of the 128 presets available on the camera, presets 1-89 may be used for deﬁning camera positions. The remainder are commands for the camera. Of that latter group, Preset 95 allows access

to the camera’s internal menu.

TASK SETUP - You can designate up to eight separate periods in a day and assign the camera speciﬁc tanks for each period. If Tasks are enabled, the Home Position function (page 15) will not operate.

CREATING A TASK

STEP 1. Set a start and end time using 24 hour

(military) time.

STEP 2. Choose a task: Random, Point to Point,

Preset Point, Patrol or Trace.

STEP 3. Select Patrol, etc. you want.

STEP 4. Select Preset 001 from the DVR’s pull down and click to save this point. Or, select

Preset 002 and click to exit out of the menu without saving changes.

ALARM SETUP - This is not functional in this camera. For an alarm-triggered action, please use your DVR’s alarm settings to run a pattern, track or cruise that has been saved in the DVR’s PTZ controls.

TRACE SETUP

This will create a path that the camera will follow, including horizontal and vertical positions along with zoom and focus settings. This differs from the Patrol in that the camera will record your actions and save it as a Trace. This is identical to the Track feature on QT-Series DVRs. Each Trace can last up to 3 minutes. If that time is exceeded, the camera will save the trace up to that point and exit to the Trace Setup menu.

STEP 1. Set the trace number

STEP 2. Select Trace Setting

STEP 3. Click on the Iris - button to begin

recording.

STEP 4. Use the directional, zoom, function and

iris controls to create your trace.

STEP 5. When complete, select Preset 001 from

the DVR’s pull down and click to save your trace.

Trace Run- Select this to run your Trace.

DAY/NIGHT

This setting allows you to set what time the camera will operate in day (color) mode and night (black and white) mode regardless of the light level. For this to be utilized, you must have set the date and time in the System Setting menu (see page 15). Select Preset 001 from the DVR’s pull down and click to save your settings.

NEW PASSWORD/CHANGE PASSWORD

These features are not operational on this camera. If you are concerned about the security of your camera - or your system for that matter - set up speciﬁc user accounts for anyone who has access to your DVR. On QT-series DVRs you can limit user permissions to speciﬁc functions. Treat these user accounts as you would a user account on a computer as far as password difﬁculty and sharing with others.

DISPLAY SETUP WINDOW

This is the menu that allows you to enable the time, temperature, position and other displays that you may have set up in other menus.

LOAD DEFAULT WINDOW

You can reset your camera back to the factory default settings through this menu.

Master Reset - This will reset the camera and active menu but will not clear settings such as the camera’s name, baud rate, preset points, patrols or etc.

Master Clear - Resets the camera and clears all user settings.

System Reboot - Reboots the camera, but does not clear any settings.

Firmware Update - The camera’s ﬁrmware can be updated using the RS422 port. This should only

be done using a ﬁrmware package provided by Q-See.

CAMERA PRESETS

The commands listed in the ﬁrst table are hard-wired into the camera. They can be accessed using the

DVR’s PTZ Control window and clicking on . Those in the second table have multiple func-

tions depending on where they are accessed or set.

EXTENDING CABLE

Your camera comes with a pre-built 100’ RG59 power/video/data cable. If a longer run is desired, the included power supply will power the camera up to 300 feet away, but you must use a continuous shielded RG59 cable without any breaks in it. A communication wire will also need to be run in parallel in order to control the camera.

To maintain video quality:

· SDI video requires the use of shielded cables.

· Always check state and local laws before installing cameras. (2011 NEC 820.44)

Other notes:

· If a cable run exceeds 800ft, we recommend using RG-6 coaxial cable which is available at most retail building supply companies.

· Cable runs over 300 feet will require a larger camera power supply or for the power supply to be only 300 feet away from the camera.
