Prior to installing the camera, you must set it up for use in the video system. To do this you will
need to access the DIP switches on the bottom of the camera. They are: DOME ID S1 and
PROTOCOL S2. Remove the camera from the box and access the DIP switches as shown in
Figure 1.

Use a small paper clip to set the DIP switches to ensure that you set each one correctly.

Figure 1. Accessing the DIP Switches

Setting DIP switches correctly is very important. If you do not set them correctly, there
will be communication errors.

Setting Camera Termination

When you set up your video system, you will be connecting the cameras, keyboard controller and
any other devices in a daisy-chain arrangement (maximum of 4,000 feet). All of the devices are
set up in a line. The last device in the line must be set so that the control device knows it is the

Set up all of your devices now to ensure that you only have one selected as the last
device. Record which device is the last device for future reference.

Setting Camera Address

Each camera requires a unique camera address so that the control device knows which camera is
at your back door and which camera is monitoring your driveway. Think of the camera address as
a telephone number. In order for the video system to work with multiple cameras, it has to know
which one is which.

DIP switch S1 DOME ID (Figure 1) is used to set the camera address. Apply the settings for each
camera in your video system as shown in the following table. Up to 255 cameras may be set up.
Settings are provided here for eight cameras, either dome or other types. If you are setting up
more than 8 cameras, please visit our website at www.revoamerica.com and download our
Advanced Features manual RELPTZ22-30AF.

REVO America www.revoamerica.com RELPTZ22-3

This is an important step. If you do not set the camera addresses correctly, there will be
communication errors.

Considerations

You should carefully consider installation of the camera(s) to ensure a successful and easy
installation. The camera may only be used indoors.

Please review the following list prior to starting your installation.

· Camera Location – Cameras should be located in places where they will be protected from
direct exposure to the sun, strong light or water immersion. Exposure to any of these will
impair video quality and damage the camera.

· Wiring – The cameras are connected to the video system using coaxial cable. They require
power from a Class 2 power supply and if you choose to connect alarms or sensors, other
wiring. Make sure that you can provide the wiring to the locations that you select, and that
power is available for the power supply. Contact REVO America for all the accessories that
you will need to install the camera.

· Visibility – The cameras should be mounted so there are no obstructions or blind spots.

· Mounting – The camera should be mounted in a sturdy location capable of supporting its

weight (2.4 lbs; 1.1 kg).

Now that the system is installed, your next step is to configure the camera for operation. These
instructions will guide you through optimizing the camera for use and setting it up for your
installation. You can customize the camera’s movements and many other functions using the
camera’s menu system. Please note that for most applications, the default settings that your
REVO America camera has will work just fine and should not require any further adjustment.

For the purposes of describing the commands and configurations available on the camera, all
commands and operation of the camera will be initiated using a REVO America keyboard
controller. This is the ideal setup and offers the greatest flexibility and ease of operation. However,
a REVO America DVR may also be used to control the camera, as well as non REVO America
keyboard controllers or DVRs, which may be used providing you set the protocols correctly. See
the Settings section. Refer to the applicable user manual to determine the equivalent command
keys on your device.

Avoid continuous use of the Auto Focus mode. It will shorten the life of the lens.

WB CONTROL The White Balance WB setup submenu provides control to adjust the color

hue (red and blue) gain for a camera so that true white appears white in the
image. It is normally compensated for by the automatic gain control (AGC). In
some lighting conditions, you may need to manually adjust the red and blue
settings for optimal viewing. When Automatic White Balance is enabled, the
camera measures the image and automatically adjusts the red and blue
settings to balance white. When automatic white balance is disabled, the
camera uses the values set for the red and blue gain to balance white.

The Home Function defines the camera’s normal operation when left unattended. The Home
Function, once programmed, will return the camera to its normal or programmed operation after
manual control of the camera has stopped. For example, if you are using the keyboard controller
or DVR to manually zoom, pan or tilt the camera to view something of interest, setting the Home
Function to one of the functions will program the camera to automatically begin one of the
following: None/Tour/Auto Scan/Preset, after a user defined waiting time.

In the example shown above, the camera will go to Preset 10, 120 seconds after manual control
has stopped, when Function Enable is set to ON. If NONE is selected or Function Enable is set to
OFF, the scene will remain where the manual control stopped.

Alarm Action

The assigned response for the dome camera when an input changes from a normal to an
abnormal state. This is known as an Input Alarm. The response may be for the camera to run a
Preset or have no assigned action.

The dome camera may also send an alarm state to the host controller for processing. This is
known as an Alarm Output. See also Input Alarm and Normal Input State.

Area

Programmed start and end points of the dome's field of view around its axis. Each area is a part of
a circular viewing area that extends around the dome. The areas can be different sizes. Up to 8
areas can be programmed for the dome. Each can have its own title.

Automatic Gain Control (AGC)

Allows for the amplification of the video signal in scenes with minimal ambient light. Typically,
low-light scenes result in picture noise. As gain is increased, the picture noise is also amplified.
When AGC is enabled, the value of the gain setting is based on feedback from the camera. When
AGC is disabled, the camera uses the value set for the manual gain setting. The trade-off between
picture level and noise may be adjusted when AGC is disabled.

On-Screen Menu

The text overlay menu system used for setting dome features. The utility is accessed using a by
pressing the MENU key on the keyboard controller or by accessing the menu through a DVR.The
utility provides settings for camera functions, zoom, alarm, text display, and password protection.

Flip

Allows the dome to automatically reverse the view from bottom to top, 180 degrees when the
camera tilts to its lower limit and stays in that position for a brief delay. When the dome flips
(rotates), the camera starts moving upward as long as the tilt control is kept in the down position.
Once the control is released, the tilt control returns to its normal operational mode. The flip feature
is useful when you need to track someone who walks directly beneath the dome and continues on
the other side.

Home Position

The default position to which the dome camera returns after an assigned period of inactivity
passes. The default position may be a Preset, Tour or No Action.

Input Alarm

A connection point on the dome camera that enables the system to monitor Input Devices. There
is one alarm input.

Input Device

An external device that provides information about the condition of system components that
connect to the input on the dome camera. Typical input devices include door contacts, motion
detectors or smoke detectors.

IR Mode

A feature of the camera that permits manual or automatic switching between color and IR (black­and-white) operation when light levels are low. When IR mode is active, clearer images may be
obtained under low-light conditions.

Normal Input State

Describes the expected state of a device connected to dome camera’s input. The normal state
may be open or closed. When a device is not in its normal input state, an alarm is issued.

North Position

User-definable setting that may correspond to magnetic north or some well-known landmark.Used
to approximate the camera dome's pointing direction when Direction Indicators are enabled.

Preset

Programmed video scene, based on a specific pan, tilt, zoom, and focus settings. Up to 240
Presets may be programmed for the dome camera.

Vector Scan

Allows the camera to move from start point to end point including tilt and zoom simultaneously and
linearly.

White Balance

Adjusts in the color hue (red and blue) gain for a camera so that true white appears white in the
image. It is normally compensated for by the automatic gain control. In some lighting conditions,
you may need to manually adjust the red and blue settings for optimal viewing. When Automatic
White Balance is enabled, the camera measures the image and automatically adjusts the red and
blue settings to balance white. When Automatic White Balance is disabled, the camera uses the
values set for the red and blue settings to balance white.
