When you set up your video system, you will be connecting the cameras, keyboard controller and
any other devices in a daisy-chain arrangement (as shown in Figure 3). 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 last
device. Set this using DIP switch SW1 (Figure 2). If this camera is to be the last device, set SW1
DIP switches 1 and 2 to ON as shown below. If it is not the last device, set the switches to OFF.

Fail-Safe Network
The camer a may be controlled by both REVO and non-REVO devices such and keyboard
controllers or DVRs. Using these devices, you can set up the camera and all of the functions. The
ideal way to do this is using a REVO keyboard. It provides the easiest way to take full advantage
of the camera’s capabilities. It also provides a fail-safe network by protecting the camera if any of
the following conditions occur:
• When the RS-485 circuit is open (Break)
• When the RS-485 circuit is shorted
• When RS-485 circuit is damaged
When a non-REVO device is used, there also may be some problems with the communication
between the camera and controller device. To compensate for this, set DIP switch SW2 poles 1
and 2 (Figure 2) to ON in the camera closest to the controller device. Typical connections are
shown in Figure 3.
See Setting Camera Protocol and Video Standard for additional instructions on using non-REVO
keyboard controllers or DVRs.

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 camer a ad d r es s as
a telephone number. In order for the video system to work with multiple cameras, it has to know
which one is which.
Switches S1 through S3 (Figure 2) are used to set the camera address. Apply the settings for
each camera in your video system as shown in the following table. Up to 999 cameras may be set
up.

Considerations
You should carefully consider installation of the camera(s) to ensure a successful and easy
installation. The camera may be used indoors or outdoors (with outdoor housing), but there are
conditions that should be avoided to ensure high-quality video and avoid damage to the cameras.
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 (see specifications for your model).

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 oth er funct ions usi ng t he
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.

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, Pattern, 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 m enu 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, Pattern, 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.
Line Lock
Allows you to phase lock the video with the AC power line. When line lock is enabled, it prevents
vertical video rolling when switching multiple cameras to a single monitor. Sometimes text appears
slightly tinted on color monitors. Disabling the line lock may prevent this problem.
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.
Slow Shutter
Setting used to improve the quality of video obtained in extreme low-light situations. When the
Slow Shutter setting is enabled, low-light information is collected over multiple fields based on the
Page 45

Shutter Limit setting. As a result, video may appear blurred or choppy in extreme low-light
situations. This setting does not affect camera operation in normal lighting situations.
Pattern
A series of pan, tilt, zoom and focus movements. Up to 4 Patterns may be programmed for the
dome camera.
Preset
Programmed video scene, based on a specific pan, tilt, zoom, and focus settings. Up to 120
Presets may be programmed for the dome camera.
Privacy Zone
Masked areas of the dome camera's viewing area. These masks prevent operators of the
surveillance system from viewing these designated zones. The Privacy Zones move in relation to
the dome camera’s pan/tilt position. In addition, the apparent size of the Privacy Zone adjusts
automatically as the lens zooms in or out. Up to 4 Privacy Zones may be established.
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.
