Using the AD2089 in Operate Mode

Controlling Camera Flip

To “flip” the camera under keyboard control 180× from its current position (for uninterrupted surveillance of subjects who pass directly beneath the camera, press the button on the top of the joystick knob. The flip feature is active with the AD168 system.

Note

On suitably equipped domes with the auto-flip function turned on, the dome flips automatically when the subject passes directly beneath the camera.

Auto Focus / Auto Iris

SpeedDome Ultra dome units are designed with Auto Focus and Auto Iris capability. When the AD2089 keyboard is used to control SpeedDome Ultra units, focus and iris control can be performed manually by using the NEAR and FAR keys for focus control, and the OPEN and CLOSE keys for iris control. After performing manual control, the user can return to auto control mode by pressing the OPEN and CLOSE keys simultaneously.

Calling Presets (Shots)

A preset is a memorized location or scene that a pan/tilt camera can display on operator demand. Presets are also referred to as shots or targets. Depending on the matrix switching system used, the operator will have the option of calling a certain number of presets, each with its own unique identification number. Presets are positioned and stored in memory in the Program mode, which will be discussed in the next chapter. Once they are programmed, presets are called to view in the Operate mode.

To call a preset:

1After calling a pan/tilt camera to view (see page 3-2), enter the preset identification number on the numeric keypad (the preset number appears in the ENTER display).

2Press the PRESET key to call the preset of the camera under control (the ENTER display clears). The selected video now appears on the monitor screen with appropriate pan, tilt, zoom, and focus adjustments.

Note

When the AD2089 is used with a switching system using AD SpeedDomes in conjunction with an AD2083-02A code translator, the PRESET key can be used for a range of commands beyond the definition and calling of presets. Consult the AD2083-02A manual for a complete listing of these commands.

Running System Tours

A tour is a dynamic sequence of camera views, each of which appears on a selected monitor screen for a specified dwell time, and each of which can have a pre-programmed preset status, auxiliary status, and connect next designation. System tours are also referred to as universal tours. System tours are programmed in the Menu mode.

Additionally, there are monitor or "scratch-pad"tours, which are temporary tours programmed for the operator's currently selected monitor. Scratch-pad tours are set up in the Program mode, and will be discussed in the next chapter.

To run a system (universal) tour:

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

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.
