Introduction

This manual details the programming features of the Surveyor1000, software revision 5.0.0. This manual
should be used in conjunction the Surveyor1000 Installation and Operation manual. Programming can be
performed with a keypad input device or an IBM compatible personal computer equipped with the Vicon
Surveyor2000 Direct Control software, see Instruction Manual XX031-10. All functions programmed into the
Surveyor1000 stay resident in the Dome Assembly and do not occupy any external CPU memory. In addition,
the Surveyor1000 memory can be flash upgraded with the latest software by using the Flash Upgrade
software kit, see Instruction Manual XX031-20.

NOTE: This manual was written for program revision 5.0.0 and may not accurately describe features available

in earlier revisions of the program.

Surveyor1000 is designed to be programmed using RS-422/485 or enhanced VicoaxII (superimposed data on
composite video signal) type protocol. The V1400X-DVC System Console, V1300X-DVC or V1300X-RVC
operator keypads, a NOVA (VPS) control system and a Personal Computer using ProTech Configurator
software are all input devices using the RS-422/485 format. The V1422 (in enhanced VicoaxII mode) is an
input device using enhanced VicoaxII (superimposed data on video) format. Refer to the Surveyor1000
Installation and Operation Manual for details on configuring and operating in enhanced VicoaxII mode.

This manual is written with the intention of using an input device and the Surveyor1000s on-s c reen menu
system. This method uses specific key functions that are actual buttons or screen selections on these input
devices. The Direct Control software runs on an IBM compatible personal computer that uses a Graphical
User Interface (GUI) for configuration, similar to the controls described here.

Programming is done by selecting options from the on-screen menu system. Once the on-screen menu
system is accessed, programming is done using the basic controls AP (autopan), AI (autoiris), joystick and
AUX1/AUX2 functions. The following is a description of these controls:

AP:

select and store parameters; go forward through the menu system.

AI:

leave or exit a menu without retaining the new setting.

Joystick Left/Right:

AUX 1 and AUX 2:

Six functions are carried out using only keypad controls. These functions are setting autopan limits,
programming continuous rotation, selecting the autopan speed, enabling Auto-Baud Detect and setting
manual pan limits.

The table on the left shows preset numbers and their functions,
which are described in detail below. There are no commands
associated with certain presets. These have been reserved for
future use or advanced programming and diagnostic tools.

Preset 1-79 (Preset Positions) —

When this range of preset
numbers is stored, the c urrent position of the cam era is written into
that preset memory location. When the number is recalled, the
camera moves to the stored position. This is called solving a preset.

Presets are always solved at the maximum speed, typically less
than 1 second. Camer a focus is also store d as part of the preset; if
the image is out of f ocus when the preset is stored, it will be out of
focus when the preset is solved, even if autofocus is enabled.

When a preset is r ecalled, the corr esp o nd ing pres et title is displayed

Preset 80-83 (To ur Sequences)

— A tour is a series of up to 32 eve nts or Actions . Accessing the “Pro gram
Tour” option will bring up an on- scr een m enu which a llows pr ogramm ing of each tour event. T his is des crib ed
in detail in the Preset/Tour Handling menu section. Recalling a tour initiates the sequence of events that
corresponds to that tour num ber. A longer sequenc e of actions can be prepared by chaining 2 or mor e tours
together.

Preset 90 (Pan/T ilt L ockout)

— Storing preset 9 0 wil l dis a ble j o ystic k c ontr ol of t hat dome, and the m es sage
"Pan/Tilt Disabled " will momentarily appe ar on the screen. An y time the joystick is m oved, the message will
reappear. To restore pan/tilt operation, preset 90 must be stored again.

This feature prevents the Camera Dome’s position from being tampered with. This allows the dome to
respond only to preset posi tions , e liminating the operator’s abi lity to manually position th e dome. It also allows
a unit to be temporarily lock ed onto a subject for recording or monitor ing specific activity. Recall ing preset 90
has no effect. The Camera Dome retains its capability of zoom, focus and iris control while locked.

Preset 93 (Set Manual Pa n Limits)

— Storing preset 93 will brin g up a series of prom pts to set the left and
right manual pan lim its with the AUX2 and A UX3 k eys. After these ar e set, t he physic al range be tween th ese
limits is the valid range. The Camera Dome will not move outside these limits. The only exceptions are
prerecorded tours and previously stored presets.

Preset 94 (Enter Dome Menu S ystem)

— Many Surveyor1000 features are accessed through a series of
on-screen menus. T hese a re des cribe d in t he fol lowin g progr amm ing m enu secti ons an d acces sed by stor ing
preset 94. A Menu Flow C hart is included at the b ack of this manual to as sist in maneuverin g these menus.
Recalling preset 94 has no effect.

Preset 95 (Auto-Baud Detect Feature)

— Storing preset 95 will enable the Surveyor1000’s Auto-Baud
Detect feature. It allows the Cam era Dome to detect a new baud r ate from the host controll er without having
to fully reboot the Cam era Dome and lose a ll stored configurat ion parameters. Symb ols are used to disp lay
the status of the detection proc ess. The * symbol indic ates that valid data at the cor rect baud rate has been
received, the X symbol r epresents a fram ing error has been recei ved and the - symbol i ndicates that no dat a
has been received. Recalling preset 95 has no effect.

Preset 97 (Initiate Dome Reset)

— Storing preset 97 resets all of the system software and performs the
power-on self-test. This is called a “soft reset” because no memory settings are affected. All user
programmed options such as titles and presets remain unchanged. Recalling preset 97 has no effect.

Presets 98 and 99 (Programming Left and Right Autopan Limits)

— When a Sur ve yor 10 00 is selected on

a keyboard, pressing the AP (autopan) key will start the camera in motion, panning at a predetermined speed.

To change the speed

•

— Use the joystick to manuall y pan the dom e at the speed you wish to s elect.
Press the AP key to store the closest av ailable speed to the current pan speed in the dom e. Each
dome may have i ts own autopan sp eed and pressing the autopan ke y will start the dom e panning at
the last speed selected for that dome.

To stop auto panning

To clear the autopan limits —

•

Store preset 98 (t he left lim it) and, without m oving the cam era, store
preset 99 (the right lim it). By recording both limits at the sam e point, they will both be deleted. The
dome will now rotate continuously when placed in autopan mode until new limits are programmed.

Recalling presets 98 or 99 has no effect.

Programming Menus

The Main Programming Menu is the first one seen when entering
programming mode (store preset 94). Subsequent menus, called sub­menus are accessible from this point. When in programming mode, a
function is entered b y pressing the AP (autopan) ke y. To back out of that
function without changes, press the AI (autoiris) key. Instructions are
available on the screen f or almost all functions . Since many of the menus
available on the Sur veyor1000 are s imilar, not all ar e shown her e. Refer to
the Menu Flow Chart, at the end of this manual, for more details. The

Focus Mode

allows the autofocus feature to be toggled on or off (default is
on). However, the most practical way to disable autofocus is to press either of
the Focus buttons on the keyboard. This will temporarily disable focus until the
camera is zoomed in or out again. When the camera is locked on a subject,
autofocus may be disabled in this manner to prevent it from “hunting” when
someone or something temporarily moves in front of the subject. Hunting
occurs when autofocus is enabled and an object moves closer into the field-of­view, causing the focus to change from the current image to the new object.
Preset targets do not use autofocus for this reason. Therefore, if a target is
programmed out of focus, it will be out of focus each time that preset is called.

Shutter Speed

The

menu is used to sc roll through the various speed options
on the camera’s automatic shutter (default setting is automatic). As with all
electronic shutters , higher speeds reduce light sensitivity wit hout affecting the
optical depth of f ield, as opposed to an iris adjustm ent. The following are the
speeds:

SHUTTER SPEEDS

AUTO AUTO-SS 1/4 1/8 1/15 1/30 1/60 1/125 1/250 1/500 1/725 1/1500 1/3000 1/6000 1/10000

There is an additiona l mode for slow shutter oper ation (AUTO -SS). This mode
is used for optimizing scenes with low light conditions.

Auto Gain Control

The

sub-menu allows adjustment of Maximum AGC Tuning
Value, another sliding scale adjustment. This selects the relative effect of the
Automatic Gain Control (AGC). Higher settings increase light sensitivity but
boost noise as well. The lowest value of the tuning scale is AUTO.

V Phase Adjust

The

screen is designed to s ynchronize the vertical phase of
the camera (relative position in tim e when the c amera starts to scan the image)
with other camer as in a system . W hen two cameras are synchron ized, ther e is
no picture “roll” when switching from one c am er a to an other. This adjustment is
also a sliding scale, from 0

o

to 360o. When set to 360o, the Camera will be

locked to an internal crystal.

Backlight Compensation

The

menu allows adjustment of this setting.
Backlight com pens ation improves the c ontra st of a silhouetted image when it is
overshadowed by a lighting source coming from behind it. This includes
cameras in windowed rooms such as lobby areas, where intense sunlight
coming through the window renders features on a silhouetted person
unrecognizable.

Aperture Adjust

The

allows the user to set the edge quality of the total
picture. The default is automatic. However, when manual is selected, the
horizontal and vertical edge clarity can be finely adjusted.

White Balance

The

allows the user to overr ide the automatic color c orrection
feature in the Surve yor1000. To adjust the red and blue gain, white balance
mode must first be change d to Manual (default is automatic ). In manual mode,
select either the

Red Gain

Blue Gain

or

menu and adjust that parameter on
the sliding scale. An adjustment for green is not provided as it remains
constant and the red and blue gains are adjusted relative to the green setting.

NOTE: The White Balance menu s ettings are used to adjus t col or inform ation
at the camera and have no effect on monochrome cameras.

Digital Zoom Mode

The

screen allows the digital zoom feature on the
Surveyor1000 to be disabled (def ault setting is enabled). When the Zoom In
button is held, the lens magnifies the image to the limit of the 18:1 optical
zoom. Releasing the butt on and pressing it will enabl e digital magnification of
the image.

With digital zoom , the user has the eff ect of a 216:1 lens . Digital m agnificati on,
however, cannot ad d any resolution to the picture. W ith each increase in the
digital magnification, the picture gets noisier and loses clarity. Disabling the
digital zoom prevents the user from going into a “digitally enhanc ed” mode in
applications where it is not des irab le.

Alarm Handling

Alarm Input Controller

The
flexible alarm processing features of the Surveyor1000. This device can
intelligently proces s and res pond to alarm s without t he need of an external
CPU or controller. Man y standalone applications can be built arou nd the
processing capability of the Surveyor1000.

For example, a single unit could be placed in the vestibule of a building.
Using the built-in featur es, the follo wing scenar io is eas ily accom plished. A
person walks into th e vesti bule f rom the outs ide and a door cont act on that
door triggers the Surve yor1 000 to tak e a pic tur e of the per son. At the same
time, a relay driver completes a circuit, which locks the inner door,
preventing open egress. Once in the vestibule, a motion detector
connected to the dome senses that the person has moved over to the
intercom and turns a brighter light on in the vestibule. The dome m oves
over to a shot of the int ercom, allowing us to c learly see which call button
is pressed.

When the outside door is fully closed, the buzzer is enabled to allow
passage from the v estibule into t he build ing. Al l acti vity has b een tap ed on
an event driven VCR, also t rigger e d b y the dome. In the event that a “panic
button” is pressed, an auto-dialer could also be connected to call the
police. This illustrates how a single dome can do the work of several
systems in a standalone application.
