SECTION 6:
PTZ CONTROL FUNCTIONS WHEN USING HONEYWELL VCL
(RAPIDDOME/ORBITER DOME) PROTOCOL
6.1 PTZ CAMERA SELECTION CONTROL
The PTZ cameras can be controlled while the keyboard is in any mode (DVR, Multiplexer, or PTZ). The keyboard sends out standard telemetry to a PTZ or other receiver connected via RS485.
Before a PTZ can be controlled it must first be selected by pressing one or two of the number keys (to enter a legal camera number) followed by the ‘camera’ key. The camera number that is displayed on the LCD is the camera that is being controlled.
6.2 PTZ MODE
PTZ mode changes the way the keyboard selects domes. To toggle between PTZ mode ON and OFF, press and hold the ‘Fn’ key, then press the ‘mode’ key.
PTZ Mode OFF (PTZ LED OFF) | Selecting a camera for control will also cause a full |
| screen picture from that camera to be displayed |
| on the DVR (in DVR mode) or Multiplexer (in MUX |
| mode). |
PTZ Mode ON (PTZ LED ON) | Enables cameras to be selected for control without |
| changing what is displayed on the monitors. |
6.3 PAN AND TILT
Very precise control of pan and tilt can be achieved using the joystick. The speed of pan and tilt is relative to the amount of movement applied to the joystick.
6.4 TURN 180°
This function allows the PTZ to view a person who is walking underneath the camera.
Press the ‘auto 180°’ key to pan the camera 180°.
The camera will pan 180° at the maximum speed. (Up to 400° per second.)
