Provide Event-Triggered CCTV Camera
Switching for Two Zones - Expandable to Four
The VC-1000 Programmable CCTV Camera
Controller consists of two telco interface modules
each linked to a CCTV camera input and a combiner for output to a video monitor, television or
VCR.
Unlike passive or manual CCTV camera switchers, the VC-1000 continuously monitors for activity on its telco line circuits and instantly switches to
the appropriate camera when activity is detected.

B. Video Wiring
1. Industrial Application
Two video cameras can be wired to, and powered from, the VC-1000 as shown below. A single video output can be
wired directly to a video monitor/VCR, to the video input of a home television set, or to an RF modulator.
Wire video signal directly to a TV / video monitor or video recorder as shown below.
2. Home Application - Manual Switched Input
Wire video signal to home
TV’s video input. Manually
switch to that input to see
camera video.
3. Home Application - Automatic Switched Input
Wire video signal to an inexpensive RF modulator (Radio Shack # 15-1214 or equivalent) that automatically switches from
VCR/satellite to CCTV video when a signal is present. Note: For this application the TV must remain on channel 3 or 4. Set up
the VCR and satellite receiver to send the signal out on channel 3 or 4 and use the VCR’s tuner to select local broadcast stations.

Use DIP switches 1 and 2 to assign video camera 1 and video camera 2 in use, and off if not installed. The ability to turn off a camera
position not being used will prevent the controller from sequencing
in an unused camera position (see Programming section B).

B. Inactive Modes
DIP switches 3 and 4 are used to program what the VC-1000 does when all telco lines are inactive (not ringing or in-use). If “output
camera 1” mode is used, an additional VC-1000 ganged together must be set to “cameras disconnected” mode to prevent contentions. Otherwise, if two VC-1000’s are ganged together, both units must be programmed to the same inactive mode.

Sequenced Video (rotate every 4 seconds)
The VC-1000 allows multiple cameras to be concentrated down to one video signal, by switching to the camera at the zone/entry point
being used. When the VC-1000 detects ringing (voltage), off hook (loop current) of the entry phone or doorbox, or a doorbell button
pressed, it will connect that camera's video feed to the video output. This happens in a first come, first serve manner. When all telco lines
are idle (entry phones or doorboxes not in use), the VC-1000 can be programmed to do one of four operations:
1. Disconnect all cameras so there is no video output. This mode is very convenient when used in combination with a video RF
modulator, which automatically switches the video source in when a video signal is present. Ahome TV’s broadcast/satellite program
will be automatically interrupted to show video feed of the arriving guest (see Installation section C).
2. Connect video feed from camera 1.
3. Remain connected to the last camera active and continue feeding video from it until another camera is called into action.
4. Sequence video from all cameras connected, rotating every 4 seconds.
C. Gang Wiring
Two VC-1000’s can be wired together to
support up to 4 zones/entry points. Do this
by wiring the COM PORT SIG screw terminals together and wiring the COM PORT
GND screw terminals together. The VIDEO
OUT screw terminals of both VC-1000’s can
be wired together in parallel to send video
signal to a monitor TV or video recorder.
