Using the AD2089 in Operate Mode

The AD2089 joystick controls the panning and tilting of cameras connected to the switching system. As the joystick is moved to the left or right, and is moved towards or away from the operator, the camera will pan and/or tilt accordingly.

For cameras with variable speed pan/tilt capability, camera movement speed is proportional to the positioning of the joystick. The further from the stationary center position the joystick travels, the faster the camera will move. There are eight independent speed levels for the up, down, left, and right directions.

Center the joystick when the camera has been positioned appropriately.

Locking and Unlocking a Camera

After calling a pan/tilt camera to view and control on a system monitor, an operator can prevent other operators from controlling the movements of the called camera. This is referred to as “locking” the camera.

To lock a camera:

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

2Press [2], [F1]. This locks the called camera.

To unlock a camera:

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

2Press [1], [F1]. This unlocks the called camera.

Controlling Camera Zoom

Zoom refers to the apparent action of moving closer to or farther away from an object, as seen through the camera lens. Zoom functions are controlled by twisting the control knob of the three- vector joystick. Twisting to the right (“TELE”) enables the camera to zoom in. Twisting to the left (“WIDE”) enables the camera to zoom out.

Controlling Camera Focus

Focus refers to the action of adjusting the clarity of the camera image displayed on the monitor. To focus the camera on a distant object, press the FAR key. To focus on a closer object, press the NEAR key.

Controlling the Camera Iris

Normally, the brightness of a picture is controlled by the camera's auto gain and the auto/manual iris functions. However, there may be times when you would like the picture on the monitor to appear darker or lighter. To brighten the picture, press the iris OPEN key. To darken the picture, press the iris CLOSE key.

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.
