Using the AD2089 in Operate Mode

• To select Monitor mode, press the MON key.

If the user does not enter a number prior to pressing either the DVMS or Monitor keys, the keyboard “remembers” the number of the last DVMS or monitor selected prior to toggling to the alternate mode.

Monitor Mode Operations (keyswitch in “operate” position)

Selecting Monitors

Workstation monitors display the video from the cameras and domes installed in local and/or satellite facilities. Each monitor has an identification number documented by the system administrator.

To select a monitor:

1Enter the monitor identification number on the numeric keypad (the number will appear in the ENTER display).

2Press the MON key. (the monitor identification number will appear in the MONITOR/DVMS display window. The ENTER display will clear). This monitor has now been called to the keyboard. Camera video can now be viewed on the called monitor. W

Note

When the monitor key is pressed a horizontal line segment appears below the monitor display label.

Calling a Camera to View on a Monitor

After a monitor has been called to the control of the AD2089 (see page 3-1), a camera can be called to view on the monitor. Each system camera has a unique identification number documented by the system administrator.

To call a camera:

1Enter the camera identification number on the numeric keypad (the number appears in the ENTER display).

2Press the CAM key (the number clears from the ENTER display, and appears in the CAMERA display).

The selected video input now appears on the monitor screen. After calling a camera to the selected monitor, any other camera can be called to the monitor by repeating the two step procedure described above.

Controlling a Camera's Pan and Tilt

Once an appropriately equipped camera has been called to view on a monitor, the operator can manually control the camera's movement. Pan is the side-to-side movement of the camera. Tilt is the up and down movement of the camera.

AD2089 specifications

The American Dynamics AD2089 is a cutting-edge surveillance camera designed for versatile security applications. Integrating advanced technology and user-friendly features, it stands out as an ideal choice for monitoring both indoor and outdoor environments.

One of the principal features of the AD2089 is its high-resolution imaging capability. It supports up to 1080p full HD video, ensuring that the captured footage is clear and detailed, which is crucial for effective surveillance. The camera is equipped with a 2.8 to 12mm varifocal lens, offering adjustable focal lengths that allow users to customize the field of view according to their specific monitoring needs. This flexibility is particularly beneficial in dynamic environments where the focus may shift frequently.

Another significant characteristic of the AD2089 is its robust low-light performance, thanks to its advanced infrared (IR) capabilities. The camera can function effectively in total darkness, providing night vision support that captures clear images even in minimal lighting conditions. This feature enhances overall security, especially during nighttime when criminal activity is more likely to occur.

The AD2089 also incorporates intelligent video analytics (IVA), enabling real-time analysis of the surveillance footage. This includes features such as motion detection, intrusion detection, and line crossing alarms. By leveraging these analytical capabilities, users can receive timely alerts and have the ability to react quickly to potential security breaches or suspicious activities.

In terms of installation and integration, the AD2089 supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology. This simplifies wiring requirements by allowing power and data to be transmitted through a single Ethernet cable, thereby reducing installation costs and efforts. Additionally, the camera is designed to be weather-resistant, making it suitable for outdoor deployment in various environmental conditions.

Furthermore, the AD2089 is equipped with secure data storage options, supporting both local and cloud-based recordings. This ensures that footage is safely archived and easily retrievable, which is essential for any security operation. With features like remote access through mobile devices and a user-friendly interface, the American Dynamics AD2089 stands out as a reliable and powerful surveillance solution, catering to the diverse needs of modern security systems.
