Introduction
The TVision range of CCTV cameras utilise HD-TVI
technology to transmit full 1080p HD video signals
over Co-ax cable.
HD-TVI o ers many bene ts and provides great value
for money. 1080p TVI images are a staggering 20x the
quality of basic CIF analogue. What’s more the TVI signal
has a high resistance to electro magnetic interference
(EMI), allowing for cable runs of up to 500m without the
need for ampli ers or repeaters.
There are also no complicated skills or techniques to learn
as TVI installations use the same Co-ax cable and BNC
connectors as analogue installs. As TVI still uses 75 ohm
Co-ax cable it is easy to upgrade older systems without
having to rewire.
HD-TVI is a great choice as it is fast becoming the global
standard for HD CCTV. Unlike proprietary technologies
such as HD-CVI which are only supported by a single
manufacturer, HD-TVI is supported by many.

C Or CS Mount Lenses
Most lenses are available in 2 di erent mounting options - C mount
and CS mount.
CS mount lenses are now the most popular size as they are shorter
and more compact than C mount lenses. Most cameras are now
manufactured to accept CS mount lenses. Before tting the lens you
need to verify that you are using a CS mount lens with the camera.
You can con rm this with your lens supplier or the literature that
came with your lens, check the instructions or packaging to see if
your lens is a C or a CS mount version.
If your lens is a C mount type you can still t it to the camera using a
C to CS adapter. See the on-line Tip 323 at www.tvision.technology.
Using A CS Mount Lens
If you are using a standard CS mount lens you can screw the lens
straight into the camera without the need for C-CS adapter ring.
To produce a true HD image TVI cameras require a Mega Pixel
lens. Standard lenses are not produced to a high enough quality.

Adjusting The Back Focus
Once you have tted the lens and have an image on the monitor,
you may nd that you can not properly focus the picture using the
ne focal adjustment on the lens itself. In this case you would need
to manually adjust the back focusing on the camera. Adjusting the
back focusing moves the CCD slightly closer to or further away from
the lens.
To adjust the back focusing you will rst need to loosen the crosshead locking screw on the back focusing ring. This will release the
ring allowing it to rotate as shown. Rotating the back focusing ring
moves the CCD forwards and backwards.
This is a trial and error process. Slowly rotate the ring clockwise or
anti-clockwise whilst watching for improvements to the image. Once
satised it is important to re-tighten the locking screw to prevent the
back focusing ring from being adjusted by accident.
If it appears that the lens will never focus correctly then it is
possible that you are trying to t a C-mount lens on the camera,
not a CS-mount lens. If this is the case you will have to use a
CCT297 adapter ring as shown below.

Accessing The OSD & Camera Adjustments
There are two ways in which to enter the camera’s OSD menu as explained below:
In-line Joystick & Menu Buttons
A lot of the cameras in the TVision range
have either an in-line joystick or menu
control buttons on the camera itself.
The menu is displayed by pressing the
joystick in or by pressing the centre button
on the camera. Navigate through the menus
and change parameters using the joystick
or by pressing the direction buttons. To
con rm your selection either press the
joystick in or press the centre button.
Up The Co-ax Control
Every camera in the TVision range features
up the Co-ax telemetry. This allows you to
con gure the camera by sending signals
down the video Co-ax cable from the DVR.
This method has the huge bene t of being
able to setup the camera whilst next to the
DVR. This eliminates the time consuming
process of climbing up and down ladders setting up cameras one
at a time. It also enables you to instantly see on-screen the e ects
of any changes made.
This feature is only supported by newer DVRs such the AlienDVR
TVI range.
To access the OSD menu via a DVR you will rst need to view the
camera you wish to con gure. You then need to display the PTZ
controls and press the “Iris +” button to enter the OSD menu. The
direction buttons are then used for navigation and changing
parameters. To con rm selections use the “Iris +” button. You can
also adjust the Zoom and Focus on motorised zoom cameras
using the zoom and focus buttons.

Getting The Most Out Of The TVision Range
The TVision range has a comprehensive menu system that allows
you to set up the camera to get the most out of it in di erent
demanding situations, below is a guide to some of the key functions:
Exposure
In the exposure settings you are able to adjust the shutter speed and
sensitivity of the CCD to control how much light is collected by the
camera. This allows you to con gure the camera to achieve the best
image possible based on the environment in which it is situated.
Shutter
Controls how long the CCD is exposed to light. A slow shutter
(opened for longer periods of time) makes the image brighter but
any movement may appear blurred.
The shutter speed can be set to auto so that it automatically
adjusts to changes in light levels producing bright images all
the time. You can also manually set the shutter speed so that it is
tailored to the environment in which it is installed.
Sens-Up
Sens-up technology makes the camera more sensitive to light
giving better quality images in low light situations. You can set by
how much the camera’s sensitivity to light is intensi ed.
AGC (Automatic Gain Control)
AGC automatically adjusts the Video amplitude under various
lighting conditions to maintain a bright image. You can choose
the level of amplitude however setting it too high could produce
a noisy image in low light conditions.
Backlight
The cameras feature three di erent backlight modes, HLC
(Highlight Compensation), BLC (Backlight Compensation) and
WDR (Wide Dynamic Range). All 3 modes are included on all
camera models featured in this book. Each mode is designed to
correct the brightness of the image in di erent environments as
described below:
HLC
Masks areas of intense light to properly expose other areas of the
image. For example a car’s headlights would be masked reducing
glare making the number plate visible.
When HLC is enabled the camera will automatically mask bright
areas of the camera’s image. Additionally you can choose between
All Day or Night Only modes.

Getting The Most Out Of The TVision Range
BLC
Adjusts the exposure of the entire image to properly expose a
subject in the foreground when a bright light source, such as a
window, is situated behind it.
When selected you then set the general area of the camera’s
image you wish to mask.
WDR
Digitally adjusts the exposure in dierent parts of the image to
maintain optimum levels in both the dark and the bright areas.
The strength (Weight) of the WDR lter can be set to Low, Middle
or High depending on the dierence between the bright and dark
areas of the image.
Day & Night
In the Day & Night settings you can control if or when the camera
switches between a colour and a black & white image.
The gain Threshold and Margin can be set telling the camera to
increase or decrease the video amplitude when switching from
day to night and night to day.
A delay can also be set which will instruct the camera to wait for
a set length of time before switching. This accommodates for any
temporary drops in light.
Extern (External)
The switch between colour and black & white is controlled by an
external trigger such as a photocell.
Auto
Auto is the most commonly used option. The camera will
automatically switch to a black & white image when it detects
light levels have dropped below a usable level.
Colour
The camera is forced to permanently produce a colour image. This
is great in environments where there is constant light but could
result in poor quality images in low light situations. As long as the
camera is in colour mode the IR LEDs will not turn on.
B & W (Black & White)
The camera will permanently produce a black & white image. This
is only recommended in areas where the light levels are always
extremely low.

White Balance
White balance is con gured so that objects appear a natural colour.
There are various ways this can be achieved as explained below.
Auto
The white balance is continuously adjusted according to the
colour temperature of the image.
Autoext
Makes allowances for natural light sources and adjusts the image’s
colour accordingly.
Preset
Automatically sets the white balance by holding a white object
such as a piece of paper or card in-front of the camera and
pressing set.
Manual
Allows you to manually ne tune the white balance of the image.
DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)
Digital noise reduction is the process of applying a lter to the
image to reduce noise from the video signal. You can choose the
strength of the lter from Low, Middle and High.
Privacy
Allows the user to “block out” up to 16 areas in the picture so that
the installation complies with the Data Protection Act and avoids
infringing other people’s privacy rights. This could be used to
block out windows on a neighbouring property or screens and
signs that display sensitive information.
D-Zoom
Enables the user to digitally zoom in on an area of the image if
the optical lens is not quite enough. PIP (Picture In Picture) can be
enabled so that a small window showing the original size image
is overlaid onto the screen when zoomed in. It detects movement
in a certain area. This can be used to get a closer view of faces or
number plates.

Fault Finding
Every TVision camera is built to the highest standards and fully
tested prior to packing. If you experience an problems you need to
investigate your cabling, connections, power supply and monitor.
No Picture From The HD-TVI
There are a number of potential problems that could cause this.
1. Power Supply
The camera can not function without the correct power supply.
A. Test that the camera has the correct voltage supplying it,
you must do this with the camera connected so that there
is load on the PSU. A 12V DC camera should have at least
10.5V DC connected to it. 24V AC cameras should have at
least 21.5V AC connected to them.
B.
For 12V DC cameras only ever use regulated power supplies so
that you can be sure that the camera is always receiving the
correct voltage.
See online
Tip 259
for the ‘Dos And Don’ts Of Power Supplies’
at
www.tvision.technology
.
Tip
2. Cabling
Check there is a picture coming out of the CVBS test output at
the camera. If there is a picture here but not at the DVR it could
be one of the following:
A. Video loss in composite cable as the run is too long. Usually
you would get a picture up to around 500m with HD-TVI.
B. Check the quality of the cable used. For best results,
especially with HD-TVI, use a cable with a solid copper core
such as our antihum branded cable on page 40. Cable with
a solid copper core suers far less signal loss than cheaper,
inferior cable which only has a copper coated core.
C. Ensure that the BNC - BNC lead that you connect between
the camera and monitor has no shorts or open circuits. If
you are making your own lead, don’t forget the lead
must have two wires connected to complete the circuit,
Video and Ground.
D. Ensure all connections to both the camera and DVR are rm
and secure.

Fault Finding
E.
Make sure that there are no tight bends or loops in the cable.
The minimum bend radius for RG59 co-ax cable is 60mm.
Test Monitor Does Not Display An Image
Make sure the test monitor is connected to the camera’s CVBS
(analogue) output and not the HD-TVI output. Most test monitors do
not accept HD-TVI signals.
Up The Co-ax Control Does Not Work
To setup the camera using up the Co-ax control you need to
display the PTZ controls during live view mode on the DVR (
See
page 28
).
If you can not access the camera’s menu using the PTZ controls,
the PTZ protocol may be set incorrectly on the DVR.
See online
Tip 300
for our ‘Top Tips When Installing Cable’
and
Tip 281
for the ‘Dos And Don’ts For Running Co-ax’ at
www.tvision.technology
.
Tip
From the DVR’s menu system enter the PTZ settings and change
the protocol of the channel(s) required to ‘TVI Coaxitron’.
For example on an alienDVR enter the ‘Video’ menu, select the
‘PTZ’ tab and click ‘PTZ Settings’. Click the protocol dropdown list
and select ‘AlienTVI Coaxitron’.
