Termination

Protocol

The dome camera must be installed by qualified service personnel. Before installing the
dome camera system, this instruction manual must be read thoroughly and understood
fully. Dome cameras must be set up properly before starting the installation. This
involves properly setting configuration switches. Figure 6 shows the location of these
switches.

Figure 6 - Layout of Switches

VT-PTZ12

13

2.6 Principle of Termination

There are two general types of wiring scheme for PTZ cameras:

• Daisy-Chain Wiring

• Home-Run Wiring

Each scheme has a different termination method

Daisy-Chain Wiring

Every device that is connected at the end of the communication data line (daisy-chain)
must be terminated by either the DIP switch setting or an appropriate device such as a
termination jumper to prevent potential control signal errors. Usually this means only the
last camera in the chain is terminated.

Home-Run Wiring

Home-run wiring forms a star shape. Each camera connects to one central location on
the star. That central location is usually the junction-box of a keyboard or may also be
the RS-485 input to a DVR. With home-run wiring, none of the cameras should be
terminated.

See Figure 6 for termination switch settings and Figure 7 for examples of devices
requiring termination. Note: Total length of the cable for communication should not
exceed 1.2Km or .74 mile.

** Unless communication error, put the position 2, 3 of the S5 in OFF state.

Position 2, 3 should be set as a pair. (Both 2, 3 to ON position or OFF position)

2.7 Dome Camera Address (ID)

Each dome camera must have a unique address (ID). Identical IDs on the same line
may damage the control circuit caused by an electrical short. When installing multiple
dome cameras or a DVR, it is recommended that the dome camera ID’s be identical to
the camera port of the DVR.

Cam Port 1 = Dome ID1, Cam Port 2 = Dome ID 2 … Cam Port 16 = Dome ID 16.
If more than 16 dome cameras are installed using two or more DVRs the following

formula is useful to determine the Dome ID: ID =16x (n-1) +m (where n= number of
DVR, m=Camera Port)

Refer to Figures 9 for setting the dome camera address (ID) and protocol selection.

Figure 9 - Setting Dome Camera Address (ID) and Protocol

2.8 Setting Protocols

A Speed Dome camera is capable of negotiating with multiple protocols if the
communication speed is matched (same baud rate i.e., 9600 bps). See Figure 10 for the
appropriate protocol switch settings.

Note: Consult service personnel if a dome camera is installed with a device other than a

recommended Speed Dome Controller.

The dome camera has a built-in RS-485 receiver so that it can be controlled
remotely by an external control device such as a joystick controller or a DVR.

RS-485: Connect the TXA (Tx+) and TXB (Tx-) of the RS485 control devices
(KBD, DVR…) to TRX+, TRX- of the dome camera.

RS-485 does not allow for a star connection layout. A splitter is required if a star
connection layout is desired. RS-485 guarantees 1.2 Km of data line routing. A
repeater is recommended to extend over 1.2 Km.

Glossary

ALARM ACTIONS

The assigned responses of the dome camera when there is input status change. The
dome may call Presets for each of the eight inputs. The dome reports the alarm states
to the Keyboard controller for processing.

AREA TITLE

It is the name of the horizontal sector from a certain start point to end point of the
selected dome. Up to 24 areas can be programmed for the dome.

AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL (AGC)

Allows for the amplification of the video signal in scenes with minimal ambient light.
Many low-light scenes result in picture noise. As gain is increased, the picture noise is
also amplified. When AGC is enabled, the value of the gain setting is based on
feedback from the camera. When AGC is disabled, the camera uses the value set for
the manual gain setting. The trade-off between picture level and noise may be adjusted
when AGC is disabled.

DIAGONALSCAN

Move from start point to end point including tilt and zoom simultaneously and linearly.

DIGITAL SLOW SHUTTER (DSS)

DSS enhances video quality in extreme low-light situations. When the Low Shutter
setting is enabled, low-light information is collected over multiple fields based on the
Shutter Limit setting. As a result, video may appear blurred or choppy in extreme low­light situations. This setting does not effect camera operation in normal lighting
situations. See also Automatic Gain Control (AGC).

FLIP/ DIGITAL FLIP

VT-PTZ12

44

It allows the dome to turn 180 degrees when the camera tilts to its lower limit. When the
dome flips (rotates), the camera starts moving upward as long as the tilt control is kept
in the down position. Once the control is released, the tilt control returns to its normal
operational mode. The flip feature is useful when you need to track someone who walks
directly beneath the dome and continues on the other side.

HOME POSITION

The default position to which the dome camera returns after an assigned period of
inactivity passes. The default position may be a Preset, Tour, Pattern, or No Action.

INPUT ALARM

A connection point on the dome camera that enables the system to monitor Input
Devices. There are four inputs available for the dome camera.

INPUT DEVICES

External devices that provide information about the condition of system components
that connect to the inputs on the dome camera. Typical input devices include door
contacts, motion detectors and smoke detectors.

IR MODE

A feature of the camera that permits manual or automatic switching between color and
IR (black-and-white) operation. When IR mode is active, clearer images may be
obtained under low-light conditions.

LINE LOCK

When line lock is enabled, it prevents vertical video rolling when switching multiple
cameras to a single monitor. If text appears slightly tinted on color monitors, disabling
the line lock may prevent this problem.

NORTH DIRECTION

User-definable setting that may correspond to magnetic north or some well-known
landmark. Used to approximate the camera dome's pointing direction when Direction
Indicators are enabled.

ON-SCREEN MENU

The text overlay menu system used for setting dome features. This utility is accessed
using a keystroke combination. The utility provides settings for camera functions, zoom,
alarms, text display, and password protection.

PATTERN

A series of pan, tilt, zoom and focus movements from a single programmable dome. Up
to 8 patterns may be programmed for the dome camera.

PRESET

VT-PTZ12

45

Programmed video scene, based on a specific pan, tilt, zoom, and focus settings. Up to
240 presets may be programmed for the dome camera.

PRIVACY ZONES

Privacy zones are areas that are masked. These masks prevent operators of the
surveillance system from viewing these designated zones. The Privacy Zones move in
relation to the dome camera’s pan/tilt position. In addition, the apparent size of the
Privacy Zone adjusts automatically as the lens zooms in or out. Up to eight Privacy
Zones may be established for a dome camera.

SHUTTER LIMIT

Setting used to define the maximum exposure time for the Open Shutter setting. The
values for the setting range from 1/2 to 1/60. The default setting is 1/4.

WHITE BALANCE

Adjustments in the color hue (red and blue) gains for a camera so that true white
appears white in the image. It is normally compensated for by the automatic gain control.
In some lighting conditions, you may need to manually adjust the red and blue settings
for optimal viewing. When Automatic White Balance is enabled, the camera measures
the image and automatically adjusts the red and blue settings to balance white. When
Automatic White Balance is disabled, the camera uses the values set for the red and
blue settings to balance white.

VITEK LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY

VITEK products carry a three (3) year limited warranty. Digital recording and storage products
are also warranted for 3 years except for the hard drives which carry their own independent fac­tory warranty from the hard drive manufacturer. VITEK warrants to the purchaser that products
manufactured by VITEK are free of any rightful claim of infringement or the like, and when used
in the manner intended, will be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a period of three
(3) years, or as otherwise stated above, from the date of purchase by the end user. This warranty
is non-transferable and extends only to the original buyer or end user customer of a Vitek Author­ized Reseller.

This warranty shall not apply to repairs or replacements necessitated by any cause beyond
the control of VITEK, including but not limited to, acts of nature, improper installation, excess
moisture, misuse, lack of proper maintenance, accident, voltage fluctuations, or any unauthor­ized tampering, repairs or modifications. This warranty becomes VOID in the event of alteration,
defacement, or removal of serial numbers.

Within the first 6 months of purchase, VITEK will replace or credit any defective product at the
request of the customer (subject to availability) with a new product that equals or exceeds the
performance of the original product purchased.

Within the first 6 months of purchase, at its sole discretion, VITEK may issue an advance replace­ment for a defective product; however, all related costs including, but not limited to shipping and/
or delivery charges will be the responsibility of the customer. If upon return inspection a product
is determined to be in good working order or shows evidence of misuse, the customer will be re­sponsible for full payment of the original product purchased as well as the replacement product.

Beyond the first 6 month period for the remainder of the warranty, VITEK’S responsibility shall be
limited to repairing the defective product, including all necessary parts and related labor costs.
At its sole discretion, VITEK may choose to either exchange a defective product or issue a mer­chandise credit towards future product purchases. Any replacement parts furnished in connec­tion with this warranty shall be warranted for a period not to exceed the remaining balance of the
original equipment warranty.

A Return Authorization number or “RA” number must be obtained prior to the return of any item
for repair, replacement, or credit. VITEK requires that this “RA” number be clearly printed on the
outside of the shipping carton to avoid refusal of said shipment. The Return Authorization number
expires after 30 days. Products returned after the 30 day period will be subject to refusal. Ship­ping charges, if any, must be prepaid. A copy of the bill of sale (or invoice of purchase), together
with a complete written explanation of the problem must accompany all returns.

Vitek makes no warranty or guarantee whatsoever with respect to products sold or purchased
through unauthorized sales channels. Warranty support is available only if product is purchased
through a Vitek Authorized Reseller.
