Overview
Congratulations on your purchase of this 360º PTZ Camera Dome! This system
is an ideal solution for monitoring a large area – a combination of a quality Sony
CCD image sensor mounted in a contained dome with the option to pan fully
360º. Nothing will be out of sight for long!
Whether you wish to do this using the full complement of manual controls, or
program a detailed surveillance program for the camera to run, the PRO-650 gives
you all the options you need to simply and effectively monitor a large range of
locations without the hassle of multiple cameras.
The PRO-650 features an included fully functional PTZ controller, great low-light
performance and a 3x optical zoom – great for getting up close to what you want
to see. All this comes mounted in a simple but elegant 4” dome.

1. Connecting the Camera Cable
Before mounting the camera, it is
important to connect it correctly.
Run the cable through the mounting 1.
arm or bracket you would like to
use.
Make sure you run the cable 2.
through starting with the camera
end (not the end with the BNC
connectors - they’re too big to fit).
Once the cable has been pulled 3.
through, plug it into the top of the
camera.
If you’re planning to mount the 4.
dome outside, cover the screw
threads with a silicon sealant before
screwing the unit together. Failing
to do so will compromise the
waterproofing of the dome.
Then, screw the mounting arm/5.
bracket onto the dome.
Be careful not to damage the connectors
on the end of the cable or to the camera,
particularly when unplugging the
camera, as the connectors are fragile!
3. Connecting the RS485 Cables
Remove the RS485 plug from the back of 1.
the PTZ controller.
Insert the WHITE wire into the -B side of 2.
the RS485 plug, and screw into place.
Insert the PURPLE wire into the +A side of 3.
the RS485 plug, and screw into place.
Plug the RS485 plug into the RS485 port 4.
on the back of the PTZ controller.
Note: If you need a longer cable to reach
the location you’d like to put the PTZ
controller, the RS485 cable can be extended.
If you are unfamiliar with cable construction
and maintenance, we suggest getting a
professional to do this.
101010
NOTE: Before you begin, be sure that there are no live electrical cables in the area
you wish to mount the camera.
To mount the camera:
After connecting the camera as described on page 8 and installing the cables as
shown on page 9, place it in the desired location. Then, using an appropriate screw
for the surface you’re fixing the dome to, screw the arm/bracket into place.
Ensure you have enough cable coming through the mounting arm/bracket to
connect it to your system. If you want to run the cables through a wall/ceiling, be
sure to drill a hole for the cable as well.
Placement Tips
For best results, carefully consider where you want to mount the dome. Whilst the
optimal placement solution will vary form application to application depending
on intent of installation, the environment of use and the lighting conditions
encountered there, there are a few points which are almost universal.
What you want to monitor:
The most obvious factor to consider when planning where to install your camera is
the question of what you wish to monitor, and how a movable PTZ system can be
incorporated into your specific environment.
Ensure that the camera is located close enough to what you want to monitor •
to capture the required details. For example, if you wish to capture the details
of a face, the camera should be located within a dozen feet (about 4m) of
the subject. This is also true if trying to read printed information - such as a
vehicle’s registration plate.
Try to place the camera in an position that a potential security threat will find •
it difficult to avoid.
A strategy which is often effective is to monitor entrances and exits - after all, •
a security threat has to get in somewhere.
Mounting the Camera
11
Field of view
The PRO-650 can pan a full 360º. This means that (for example) installing the
PRO-650 in a tight corner is probably not an ideal utilization of its potential! A wall
is a better option, as it allows 180º of view for the camera. A freestanding pole
of sufficient height and integrity to reliably hold the camera securely is an ideal
choice, as is the centre of the ceiling in a larger room or a warehouse.
Height
For best results, the PRO-650 PTZ Dome should be mounted as high up as
practicable. This is because the camera has complete freedom of tilt movement
in the 90º below the horizontal plane. Stated more simply, it can see things below
it, but not above! Extensions for the provided mounting hardware are available
through our online store.
Joining Cables
We strongly advise against the modification (i.e. cutting and/or joining) of video
cables. Each cut/join will noticeably reduce video quality, and increase the chances
of the system failing over time. We also advise against using cable joiners/adaptors
to plug multiple cables together. Rather, we suggest using a single unmodified
video cable, chosen in accordance with the guidelines below.
Recommended Cable Length and Type
Being a semi-professional PTZ dome system, the PRO-650 benefits greatly from
being installed using high quality cables to minimise video signal loss. This becomes
particularly important if using a cable longer than approximately 100ft/35m. The
longer the cable used to carry the video signal, the more noticeable the reduction
in video quality will become.
To maximise the quality of the video signal, consider using a high quality video
cable or installing your monitor/recording device closer to the PTZ dome. Of course,
in many circumstances, moving the monitor/recording device is not a viable option;
in these cases, a high quality cable is the best solution.
For optimal results, use a single, unbroken coaxial cable with a solid
copper core and copper braid shielding.
Exposure to Weather
The Pro-650 PTZ Dome is weather and water resistant (rated IP66). However, be
aware that long term exposure to adverse weather conditions (extreme temperature
uctuation, excessive moisture or direct sunlight) may eventually interfere with the
correct operation of the unit.
IMPORTANT: If mounting the camera outside, be sure to properly seal all
joints in the mounting arm/bracket using a silicon sealant. If this is not
fully sealed, water can enter the dome causing malfunction or failure.

Configuring the PTZ Controller
Setting the Command Address
The included PTZ controller is capable of controlling multiple PTZ cameras. Thus,
each camera needs its own unique identification (a “Command Address”).
To define a camera’s Command Address, connect the camera (and only that
camera) to the PTZ controller. Then:
Press the CAM key. The display will now show Axxx (where “xxx” is the current •
Command Address assigned to the controller).
Enter the Command Address that you’d like to assign to the camera. For •
numbers higher than 10, press the -/-- key first.
Press and hold the PRESET button. The display will change to SET-•
To confirm changes to the Command Address setting, press the SETUP button. •
The display will show –OH–.
The camera’s Command Address has now been changed to your desired •
value.
Please note that if you press the CAM button then enter a number, you are changing
the Command Address in the PTZ controller, but not in any cameras. Holding
PRESET then pressing SETUP applies that address to the connected cameras.
When we define a command address, that address is applied to all cameras
connected to the controller at once. Thus, if you have two cameras connected
to the PTZ controller at once, enter a command address of “005” into the PTZ
controller and press PRESET then SETUP, both cameras will now respond to the
controller on Command Address 005, and cannot be operated individually until
one camera’s Command Address is changed so that both are unique.
Default Settings:
Protocol = Pelco-D
Baud Rate = 2400bps
To ensure that the Controller knows how to
command the PRO-650, we need to make sure
it is using the correct Protocol and Baud Rate. If
these are not set correctly, the PRO-650 will not
operate properly (or at all).
To change the Protocol and Baud Rate:
Press and hold the SETUP button.•
The display on the Controller will change to a letter (either “d” or “p”) and a •
number (12, 24, 48 or 96).
The letter represents the current protocol, either Pelco-P or Pelco-D.•
The number is the abbreviated Baud Rate. •
(i.e. “12” represents 1200bps, “24” represents 2400bps and so on)
Use the UP and DOWN arrows to change the Protocol.•
Use LEFT and RIGHT to change the Baud Rate.•
When set correctly, the letter should be “d” and the number “24”•
Press ENTER to save your changes.•
