BASIC OPERATIONS

Once the camera has been correctly installed and at

least one control unit (keyboard or DVR) has been set

up, it is possible to test the first operating commands.

Below we list the main commands through which it is

possible to control the speed dome cameras.

Power on and self test

Powering the camera starts a sequence of automatic

operations.

The

camera

movements and checks the operation of the horizontal

movement, the vertical movement and the camera

body.

The communication data of the camera is shown as an

overlay.

At the end of the automatic test, the camera is ready to

receive the commands coming from the console.

Manual Pan Tilt control

The first command to check correct communication

between the camera and the console is the RIGHT /

LEFT (PAN) and UP / DOWN (TILT) movement using the

console joystick.

If the camera does not react to console commands, it

communication. Check in the order:

1 - That the two twisted cables leading the RS485 are

connected and not inverted (A with A and B with B).

2 - That the console or the DVR has been set up with

the PELCO D protocol and that the speed chosen is the

same as that set in the camera (2400 at the factory)

3 - That the address of the camera to be controlled has

been selected on the console or DVR (1 in the factory).

It is possible to check the address and protocol speed

directly on the camera

The cameras are equipped with optical zoom. To

control the zoom, it is possible to use the ZOOM +/- (or

TELE / WIDE, depending on the console) keyboard

buttons. If you are using a so-called 3D console it is

also possible to control the zoom by rotating the

joystick head.

If necessary, you can change the focus by pressing the

FOCUS +/- buttons (or NEAR / FAR depending on the

console), but it is generally more practical to allow the

camera to use the autofocus function. The IRIS +/-

aperture commands are generally not allowed by the

factory settings of the cameras.

PRESET setting

The cameras are able to memorize predefined positions

that can be quickly recalled without having to manually

operate the joystick.

Each camera is able to manage 256 PRESETS, each one

distinguished by its own XY, ZOOM and FOCUS

coordinate value.

In reality, not all of these presets are available to the

user to be customized as some have predefined

features that we will see later and which are called

SYSTEM PRESETS.

To set a preset act as follows:

 Select the camera to control

 Using the Joystick, position the camera in the

preferred point and adjust the zoom

 On the keyboard, dial the number of the preset to

be set, for example: 1 and send the SET PRESET

command (see console manual)

 The camera stores the preposition.

Each

control

unit

uses

sequences. Consult the documentation attached to the

control unit to know the exact sequence to be dialed.

Recalling PRESETS

After having memorized the presets of interest, they

can be easily recalled from the keyboard by acting as

follows:

 Check if you have selected the camera

 Dial the PRESET number

 Press the PRESET recall button, usually CALL or

PREVIEW or GO TO depending on the consoles.

The camera moves automatically until it reaches the

stored position.
