Preface

Congratulations for the purchasing of the world most compact PTZ (P

an, Tilt and

Z

oom) camera. The camera is designed and manufactured not just to meet the
requirements for traditional CCTV and modern digital surveillance, but also increase
the systems’ overall performance.

The PTZ camera is equipped with high resolution CCD sensor and powerful 30x
zoom lens that can used for wide angle observation and detail viewing to the far-end
object as well.

The PT mechanism provides controllable pan (360o) and tilt (180o) functions, giving
users the capability to manipulate the camera for precise locating on targets for
monitoring. The built-in micro-controller allows users to program up to 64 presets for
quick and accurate capture to specific view positions. Moving speed, ranging from

0.5 to 240 degrees per second and is selectable to controller, is variable in 16
optional levels. Dwell time of each view position is also selectable from 1second up
to 255 seconds.

System function includes I/O for alarm function for intrusion management, ID setup

(maximum to 255)

and impedance matching option for multiple node system, 2 control
protocols, 3 options of baud rates, RS485 communication format. This device is
driven by DC12V power. It can be controlled by keyboard, PC, video server or
standalone DVR.

Majority of image related functions (such as DSP functions, lens functions, special
effects of video…) are managed via OSD (On-Screen-Display) menu. These
functions are explained in the section of OSD with details. The CCD can be set up
for automatic switching to black-white mode for night-vision ready when illumination
is low.

This camera is designed to be water-resistant for outdoor use, under the condition of
normal temperature range from -10 o to 50o C.

Tools:

1. Philips (or “plus type”) screw driver #2, for opening and putting back the cover

2. Pincer, paper clip or small flat screw driver, to move the lever of DIP switch

Access point to DIP switches for setups:

To open the cover, take the two screws off from bottom chassis, as the instruction on
below:

Important Notice

All the DIP switches for setting up camera ID, protocol, baud rate and RS485
terminator impedance are in the dome at the bottom side, and accessible via a
opening. In normal condition, this opening is sealed with a piece of steel cover.
The metal cover, together with a rubber around the opening, is for stopping
water and dust going the camera. Therefore, installer must be very careful
during the opening or putting back the steel cover.

Take these 2 screws

To build correct network for control communication, every speed dome camera in
the network must have an unique ID number

, which is set by the bit 1 to 8 of a 8-bit

DIP switch DS2.

Note:

Control Protocol and Baud Rate

Control protocol and baud rate must be set correctly to the camera in order to
establish proper communication between the camera and control device.
Be sure that the same protocol and baud rate are selected in control device, too.
Presently 2 types of protocol and 3 levels of baud rate are provided by this speed
dome, through an 8-bit DIP switch labeled DS1.

 First, installer needs to choose a communication protocol with bit number 3, 4

and 5. Watch that the same protocol is chosen for speed dome and controller.
The following table shows the three protocols provided in this speed dome.

Check what are available in the controller before choosing the protocol.

RS485 Network and Impedance

Transmission distances of RS485 Bus

The 0.56mm (AWG#24) twisted pair or higher grade wires are recommended for
data transmission cable
The maximum theoretical transmitting distances, for the AWG#24, are as follows:

Baud Rate Maximum Transmitting Distance

2400 Bps 1800m

4800 Bps 1200m

9600Bps 800m

If user selects thinner cables, or installs the dome in an environment surrounded by
strong electromagnetic interference, or connects lots of equipment to the RS485
bus, the maximum transmitting distance will decrease. To increase the maximum
transmitting distance, do the opposite way, i.e. use thicker wire and keep the cable
away from the interference.

Connection and terminator resistor

The RS485 requires daisy-chain connection among the equipments. There must be
terminator resistors for impedance matching (typically 120 ohms, within the range
from 90 to 250 ohms). Terminators are to be located at both ends of each RS-485
net.

Each speed dome camera has a switchable terminator resistor built in, which is set
to OFF position as the factory default.
In a network of RS485 chain, the speed domes are classified in two categories:
end unit

(unit #1 and #32)

and node

(#2 through #31).  refer to chart in previous page.

To set up the resistor correctly, installer must decide if the specific dome camera is
the termination device or not, i.e. if it is at the end of the RS485 chain.

The impedance setup is provided by the bit 1 and bit 2 of DIP switch

DS3

For nodes: Set both of Bit 1 and Bit 2 to OFF position



For end unit: Set both of Bit 1 and Bit 2 to ON position

Impedance of the control unit

This is generally for two cases: controller with RS485, and controller with RS232.
Controller with RS485:

Most keyboard and video server in market have RS485, and are equipped with
terminator resistor to drive a RS485 system.

Controller with RS-232

But most PC and notebook sort of devices have RS232 or USB port but no
RS485. Therefore, for PC system, a RS232 or USB to RS485 converter is neded.
Installer must check out if the converter has proper terminator resistor.

Problems in practical connection

DS3

Vidia Srl – Via Vasanello 23, 00189 Roma – Tel [phone] Fax [phone] www.vidia.it

In some circumstances user adopts a star configuration in practical connection. The
terminator resistors must be connected to the two equipment that are farthest away
from each other, such as equipment 1# and 15# in the following picture. As the star
configuration is not in conformity with the requirements of RS485 standards,
problems such as signal reflections, lower anti-interference performance arise when
the cables are long in the connection. The reliability of control signals could be
downgraded with the phenomena that your dome camera does not respond to or
just responds at intervals to the controller, or does continuous operation without stop

In such circumstances the usage of RS485 distributor is recommended. The
distributor can change the star configuration connection to the mode of connection
stipulated in the RS485 standards. The new connection achieves reliable data
transmission.

7. Connecting Wires

The cables, wires and connector attached to the speed dome are categories into 4
major functions of:

1.

Power

2.

Video

3.

RS485

4.

Alarm-in and out

They are easily distinguished from one to another, as being featured with different
connectors. Refer to the picture on below to learn about cable and connector
information.

Vidia Srl – Via Vasanello 23, 00189 Roma – Tel [phone] Fax [phone] www.vidia.it

7.1

Power

The camera has two versions for power: DC12V or AC24V.

1. DC12V:

When operated with DC12V, the camera may consume 1000mA DC current in
full load condition. To secure the safety and maintain correct function, always
use the 12V / 1.5A DC adapter supplied by the manufacturer.
To power the speed dome is simple. Get the DC jack from the camera, and
connect the adapter plug to the jack.

2. AC24V: (AC adapter of 24V / 1.66A is optional.)

An AC adapter of 24V / 1.66A is supplied with the camera / housing for the AC
version. To power the camera, connect adapter to camera’s power connector.

Power Connector on Speed Dome

AC 24V Connector on Adaptor

As soon as power is supplied, the speed dome will enter “initial check” mode with
the following procedures:



Move the lens around automatically for system check and calibration



Screen will show blue picture words in white for around 5 seconds



Then the camera will show normal image and get ready for control

Vidia Srl – Via Vasanello 23, 00189 Roma – Tel [phone] Fax [phone] www.vidia.it

Video output of 1Vp-p is delivered at the female BNC end with 75 ohms impedance.
To transmit the video to receiver properly, it is recommended to use RG59 A/U
coaxial cable with stranded center conductor, with male BNC connectors on both
ends.

RG59 is also in 75 ohm impedance, which matches the
camera’s output impedance. The A/U version is recommended,
rather than the version B/U, due of its superior performance on
flexibility for resisting severe twisting, bending and other
stresses which occur in many CCTV installations.

In case the installation distance is over than 500 meters (1,500 feet), additional
amplifier might be needed to keep the video level and image quality.
If superior video quality is strongly demanded, you may need to add the video buffer
for each 300 meters or even 250 meters.

7.3

RS485

The camera adapts RS485 in half-duplex pattern, a two-pin
connectivity as shown on the right picture.

Installer must pay attention to the polarity of these two pins –
yellow wire is the POSITIVE end, and orange is the
NEGATIVE. Communication between controller and camera
will break and control will not function if they are reversely
connected.

The RS485 communication may run for 4,000 feet if the system network is properly
built. Two important factors should be handled with care during the system
build-up--- baud rate and termination impedance. More information about RS485
are in sections “Protocol and Baud rate” and “Applications”.

This camera is equipped with 3 alarm-in and one alarm-out for intrusion
management. Installers may connect the inputs to various sensors and program the
camera to move to specific spots for visual check when evens take place. Dwell time
is programmable, subject to the controller

(some controllers don’t offer the access to

dwell setting)

Refer to the table on below for function assignments to each alarm I/O.

Alarm in Wire Color Alarm GND Wire Color Alarm out Wire Color

Alarm in 1 Black Alarm 1 Brown N.O. Gray
Alarm in 2 Red Alarm 2 Orange N.C. Purple
Alarm in 3 Yellow Alarm 3 Green Com. Blue

Alarm inputs

This speed dome has three alarm inputs, and each input is given by the software a
companion view preset. When trigger single is sent to alarm-in, the following
reactions will be taken by the speed dome:

 The pan-tilt mechanism will move lens to the preset.
 The alarm-out port will act.
 Via RS485, the console (control unit) will be notified

The three inputs and their correspondent view presets are independent from one to
another. Therefore, with the connections to three sensors, installer can set up
camera to monitor three different spots with different dwell time.

Presets For Events

Default settings at the alarm-ins activations are:

If setting(s) is / are done to presets 17, 18 and 19 :



At the trigger of alarm-in number 1, lens will move to preset 17.



At the trigger of alarm-in number 2, lens will move to preset 18.



At the trigger of alarm-in number 3, lens will move to preset 19.

If one or more positions of presets 17, 18 and 19 is / are empty:



At the trigger of alarm 1, lens will move to preset 1

(preset 17 is empty)



At the trigger of alarm 2, lens will move to preset 2

(preset 18 is empty)



At the trigger of alarm 3, lens will move to preset 3

(preset 19 is empty)

Note

:

 All the three alarm inputs are TTL level and triggered by negative signals.

 To utilize the default view positions, user must pre-set

the desired monitor

spots to presets number 17, 18 and 19 (or 1, 2 and 3).

Alarm-ON Management Protocol

With the arrangements pre-defined in its software, the PTZ camera will perform the
following surveillance functions automatically at the triggering(s) to alarm-input(s):

 Camera is running Auto-run when alarm signal(s) kicks in

1. When the first alarm signal hits this camera, camera will move to the
corresponding presets (see relative information on above ) at its maximum
speed of 240o per second

2. Camera will stay at the preset position for 60 seconds

3. Camera will be back to the original auto-pan function after 60 seconds, if
no second alarm-in jumps in this 60 second time frame.

4. In case the second and third alarms occur during the 60 seconds, camera
will move to the preset set for alarm-2, stay there for 10 seconds, then
move to the next preset set for alarm-3, stay for 5 seconds and keeps
moving around these presets until the 60 second time frame is over.

5. Camera will be back to its original auto-run function after the 60 seconds.

Alarm output

The alarm output is a hardware toggle switch of NC (normal close) and NO (normal
open). In the event the camera receives trigger signal from one of the three
alarm-inputs, the two output ports will exchange their states (i.e. NC port will turn
into OPEN condition, and NO port will become CLOSE). This is used for activating
various external alarm devices, such as siren, recorder, alarm-light or call-out
system.
Alarm-on status will be automatically relieved at the 30th minute from the triggering

point and PTZ will be back to the original conditions. To relief system the alarm-on
status manually, use the MANUAL OFF on the controller (subject to the function’s
availability to the controller)

Warning

:

The NC/NO port provided by alarm-out is a mechanical contact relay.
Make sure the device connected to the alarm-output does not drain

current

over than 0.5A and the voltage is not higher than DC 24V or AC 250V.
Any load over these may damage the alarm output port permanently.

8 Applications

The PTZ camera, by itself alone or encompassed in different numbers of domes
with comprehensive matrix switching, is mainly for link to 4 different control means
(also known in different terms such as controller, console or host):

 PC-based system
 Keyboard controller
 DVR

(Digital Video Recorder )

 Video server

8.1

Controllers and RS485

While most keyboards, DVRs and video servers are equipped with RS485 port,
which can be directly connected to speed dome, desk top and notebook computers
usually don’t provide direct output of RS485. Therefore an interface device (signal
converter) will be needed when computer is used as the controller.

Note:

Check the PC first to see if RS232 port or USB port is available to the specific unit.
Some may have both while others only have one of the two.

If you need the RS232 or USB to RS485 converter, check with your

camera supplier for the information.

Video server, the contemporary device for conducting surveillance through LAN and
WAN, can also be the controlling tool for this speed dome camera.

Most video servers in market are built with RS485 port and one video-in for
connecting one camera. To work with this speed dome, installer must connect both
signals

(video and RS485)

from the server to the camera, as the picture shown on

below.

First of all, the camera ID should be kept on number “0” (zero) or 1 (one)

when it
is linked to a video server, unless your video server requires different ID. Be sure
the RS485 polarity is correctly handled. Once the wirings are completed, start the
video server control panel on computer and follow the instructions on below during
the video server setup

to one controller as a system. For such application, the rules must be followed:



Connect all speed domes to host in daisy chain pattern as possible as you can
Star type configuration should be avoided to keep system away from
instability.



Each speed dome must have its unique ID so communication data can be
delivered to the correct target device.



Impedance-match setup is also required to keep RS485 communication
quality.

Make wire distribution

Connect the other end of the cable to a phone box with extension outlet of two.
Installer must pay attention to the pins

of the extension box to ensure the

connection is correct.

1. System Info

To choose your controller and review the basic setup done to this unit.



Controller: Keyboard and DVR are two most common devices used

for PTZ control. However, controllers are different in some
functions that makes PTZ control is perfect with some
controllers but not with the others.

This happens in DVR commonly as many DVR panels do

have enough control buttons

(especially for OSD operation)

that make some PTZ controls impossible.

To solve the issue, this camera offers choices – for the

controllers don’t have enough buttons, you may use
alternative keys. (see OSD table B)

Find controller option list in the sub-menu. Select the one

matching your controller.

camera version.

Zoom Speed

: to set the speed of zooming. 8 levels are in option list. It is

recommended you make test to different speed before make
the choice. Fast speed saves time but may cause missing of
the best position for image size. Slow speed does the opposite
for the good and bad.

Advance Setting

: Most of the camera’s DSP and optical functions are to be

setting or adjusted here, under the sub-title.

Cam Title: This is for setting and show camera name; Similar function is

available in the main page, so we suggest you leave this OFF
constantly.

Vidia Srl – Via Vasanello 23, 00189 Roma – Tel [phone] Fax [phone] www.vidia.it

White Bal: White balance function is for setting color temperature based

on the environment the camera is in, or personal perferance:

ATW: Auto-Tracking-White balance. ATW checks the

whole image, weights all colors in the picture and
updates the white level and color temperature,
which is good for constant changing scene.

Two ATW modes in option --- indoor and outdoor.

Indoor mode tends to be more blue and outdoor
gives more red to the whole image.

AWC: Auto-White-Balance. Camera will make color

calibration to the picture for once and keep the color
temperature until
the next order is
given. To refresh
the color, you need
to make a manual
trigger to the AWC
when it is shown on
the display.

Manual: to adjust color preference manually. Manual setting

is let you fix the color temperature, which can be
good for indoor and static environment.

If the lighting is tungsten or alike (more natural), try

to add more blue or reduce red a little; If lighting is
fluorescent or within white spectrum, try to add more
red or reduce the blue.

Default values are 32 for RED, 40 for BLUE; we

suggest you not to give setting away from these two
default numbers by too much.

Back light: Backlight function is for improving the image quality in the

scene that strong light is behind the object, which usually will
wash the image out considerably. Backlight function is to
reduce exposure time and video gain, if necessary, to avoid
over-exposure.

The Backlight function in 30x D/N version is different from the

30x W version – the later one has so-called WDR instead of
regular backlight improvement.

30x D/N version

D/N version works on single
time exposure. When backlight
function is engaged, it reduces
exposure time and video gain (if
necessary) to avoid over­exposure.

You are suggested to make

tests with all the options in list
on site, then make final choice.

30x W version

30x W version, also known as
WDR version, provides double
exposures for one image.
When this function is engaged,
it takes one exposure at high
speed (1/6,000 or 1/10,000 sec)
and the other at normal speed
(1/50 or 1/60), leverage the
brightness and superimpose
the two into one picture. WDR will deliver better contrast in
the strong back-lighted condition.
You are suggested to make tests with all the options in list on
site, then make final choice.

Focus: Focusing is one of the most important and frequently-used

functions of a zoom camera. This camera offers 3 focusing
modes, each can be in-tracking or not with the zoom control.

see OSD table 3 to know what focus function will react to
different control or movement in each mode.

One push

: The One-push function is to drive lens to make

one-time auto-focusing per trigger. This function is
embedded in certain controls, such as making
zoom change in manual focus mode…

Auto

: The AUTO mode will enforce the lens to adjust its

focusing automatically when object moves or
scene has changed.

suggestion: if the camera is used for watching static zone constantly

with few moving object, you may set the AUTO FOCUS
on;

If the camera is watching areas with heavy traffic, it is

advised to choose other focus mode, or the image may
look “shaking” due to unnecessary focusing.

Manual: To fine tune and obtain the optimum focusing.

In certain conditions, such as weak contrast, dark

scene … camera’s auto focus function may not get
the best focus position. In such case, you can
adjust the focus manually.

Zoom TRK

: this is to drive focus-lens to move along and be

coordinated with zoom-lens, so you will have
in-focus image all the way during the entire
zooming journey.

Zoom TRK SPD

: the focusing speed during tracking to zooming.

Vidia Srl – Via Vasanello 23, 00189 Roma – Tel [phone] Fax [phone] www.vidia.it

Slow focus-speed may deliver better focus result
when image or target is in mono pattern or weak
ambient light.

D-Zoom

: to utilize digital zoom or not. Range is from

D/N version: 2 to 10x
W version: 2 to 8x.
Digital zoom is to fill in the display with partial of

the image, therefore will not give the same detail
as the original image does. It could make help if
the target object does not have much detail.

DISP Zoom MAG

: to show or not show zoom number.

Default is OFF.

Zoom INIT POS

: To assign zoom position for power-up condition.

Lens Initialization

: To re-calibrate the lens once. When you are

seeing abnormal focusing

(image is out-of-focus

even you engage auto-focus)

, zooming or exposure

(for example: complete white or black picture)

, you

may refresh the camera with this function.

Exposure: Exposure is the key you can get good image with. Exposure

setting is highly dependant to the ambient light (type and
strength), and varies from one situation to another.

In this section there are 3 items can change actual exposure

and 3 others are for image quality modification:

 exposure factor: iris, shutter, sens-up
 image quality factor: brightness, AGC, SNR

Some of these factors are conflict to each other in certain
modes; refer to OSD table 4 for the details.

Brightness: Human eyes are more sensitive to brightness than other

image factors, meaning that brightness control is quite
important. Brightness is very personal subjective, therefore
you need try the adjustment with your visual system.
.

reminder: brightness control is also available on most display.

Check your display to ensure the monitor has correct
brightness setting.

Iris : Iris is one of the two major mechanisms for exposure level

control, besides shutter speed.
Iris is the window for light to pass onto CCD (sensor), so the
size of it will determine the energy of light can reach CCD at
a time. Therefore, bigger iris provides brighter image, while
smaller iris will give darker picture.

Iris options are AUTO and MANUAL;

suggestion: AUTO is more recommended for most conditions, unless

you have particular environment (such as indoor with
stable lighting), because it adapts better to the changing
ambient illumination.

note: While iris is in auto mode, it has the priority for exposure

control. Shutter speed will be fixed,(“---“ on shutter)
unless you manually apply shutter with other setting.

note: Manual control allows you to adjust iris size from

complete closed (“0”) to fully open (“100”).

If you set iris to “manual”, then shutter takes over the

priority position for exposure control (seeing “ESC” on
shutter setting).

Shutter : Shutter is the “pseudo” mechanism for controlling exposure

time. In normal indoor condition, shutter speed is usually set to
1/60 second

(1/50 for PAL system)

. In stronger light condition,

shutter must be reduced, or image could be washed out. For

Vidia Srl – Via Vasanello 23, 00189 Roma – Tel [phone] Fax [phone] www.vidia.it

darker scene, shutter should be increased. This camera offers
3 options to you:
ESC

(auto):

If iris is set to “manual” mode, ESC is the choice

used for the most conditions. Software will check

light level and set up shutter speed automatically.
Manual: to assign a fixed shutter speed
This can be the choice if camera stays indoor with

constantly stable ambient light.
In normal light, try speed between 1/60 --- 1/500.

Be advised that, for speed higher than 1/120,

color rolling can be easily observed.
In constant faint or dark condition, use extended

exposure (

x2, x4, ---);

Try the low number first. If
picture is still dark and with much noise, try the
higher times.

Extreme high

(1/2000 and above)

and sens-up

exposure

(x64, x128)

are not recommended unless

you have special condition to deal with.

Anti-Flicker: Automatically set the shutter speed to 1/50

(1/60

for PAL system)

to avoid the flicker created by the

normal lighting system

(especially in the fluorescent

light environment)

AGC : Auto-Gain-Control, for keeping video output level stable and

stays within standard range. Turn AGC to high in dark, or low
in strong light condition;

OFF

, low, mid and high are the option

note: If you turn the AGC off, then SNR and sens-up functions will be

defeated automatically. (see OSD table 4)

SSNR : Super Noise Reduction, for improving quality of the video

captured in dark. OFF

, low, mid and high are the options

When camera works in dark conditions, a lot of noise will be in

video

(snow-like spots, easily seen on display).

Such noise will
down grade the quality and performance of the entire security
system, from surveillance to recording

(DVR),

significantly.

SNR function is to reduce the noise level when video level is

down due to darkness.

Be aware that the SNR will also reduce image’s sharpness, so

try different noise reduction grade , check sharpness change,

Vidia Srl – Via Vasanello 23, 00189 Roma – Tel [phone] Fax [phone] www.vidia.it

then decide which SNR level you will live with.

SENS-UP: sens-up is an useful function for increasing image brightness in

dark condition, in 12 different levels of gain with auto-control:.
Auto

: when surrounding is detected for too dark,

extended exposure will be automatically applied to
increase image’s brightness to provide reasonable
signal-to-noise ratio.

You need to give the limit in sub-page.

Limit:

Maximum gain the function will do.

Off

: to defeat this function.

note: If you turn the AGC off, or assign a fixed shutter speed

(manual or A-FLK mode) the sens-up function will be
defeated automatically. (see OSD table 4)

note: If you are familiar with still image camera, the sens-up is

like the B-shutter.

suggestion: Because sens-up is carried out by extending exposure

time, ghost-like image (in transparent and slow motion)
will be unavoidable for moving objects. The higher
number of sens-up is given, the worse such phenomena
you may get. You are advised to make test to all the
levels before making the final setting if the function is to
be applied.
