Using the AD2089 in Operate Mode

A latched auxiliary remains active until it is deactivated using the appropriate off switch. An example of a latched auxiliary is a light. When the auxiliary ON key is pressed (and released), the light is turned on. When the auxiliary OFF key is pressed (and released), the light is turned off.

Acknowledging Alarms

When a monitor is armed for an alarm contact, the video input (camera view) associated with that alarm contact is displayed on the monitor when the alarm is activated. If the monitor is armed for manual clearance, any alarm displayed on the monitor can be acknowledged (cleared) by an AD2089 operator.

To acknowledge (clear) an alarm:

1Call the monitor that is displaying alarm video.

2Press the ACK key.

If the monitor is sequencing multiple alarmed video inputs, hold or step to (using the next or last keys) the appropriate alarmed video input, and press the ACK key to clear the alarm. Continue to step to and ACK each alarm until all appropriate alarms have been cleared.

Alarm signaling capability will vary depending on which switching system is connected to the AD2089. Consult your switching system manual to determine the particulars of the alarm interface.

Viewing Satellite Sites

A site is a complete matrix switcher / controller system, providing both local and remote control of resources in a satellite network. If your workstation supports satellite site switching capabilities, the SITE key accesses satellite sites.

To gain access to a satellite site:

1Enter the site number on the numeric keypad. The site number will appear in the ENTER display.

2Press the SITE key. Call the appropriate monitor and camera. The site number will appear in the SITE display. The ENTER display will clear.

3Call remote site monitors and cameras by the procedures discussed earlier in this chapter (see page 3-1).

Running Patterns

A pattern is a sequential series of pan, tilt, zoom, and focus commands defined for SpeedDome series domes. A pattern is programmed in real time, which means that the dome remembers each pattern segment in the actual time it takes the operator to execute a command. For example, if, during a pattern sequence, the dome focuses on a door for 30 seconds, the door scene will appear for 30 seconds when the pattern is called to run. Patterns are set in the Program mode, which is discussed in the following chapter. Patterns are run in the Operate mode.

Note

Pattern command sequences can vary depending on the switching system and accessories used. Consult the appropriate product manual(s) if necessary.

To run a pattern:

1Call the camera that the pattern will run on (see page 3-2).

2Enter the pattern number on the numeric keypad. The pattern number will appear in 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.
