Programming with the AD2089

Once programmed, entering a camera number and then pressing the [z] macro key, causes the selected camera to switch to Monitor 1. The symbol “z” represents a monitor and enables a macro quick switch. This macro will enable an operator to reduce the number of keystrokes required to call a camera to a monitor, while also unburdening the operator from having to remember the number of the monitor that has to be addressed. This application is for operators who consistently utilize certain monitors at their workstations.

Example 2 (“Quick ACK”):

[10], [ALM] = [1], [0], [MON], [ACK], [0], [MON], [ALM]

Once programmed, selecting [10], [ALM] causes Monitor 10 which is an armed monitor, to be called. If an alarm was displayed on the monitor, it would then be cleared automatically, and then the monitor in use prior to the alarm would be re-called. The application of this macro is for operators working with multiple monitors who want to quickly acknowledge alarms.

Synchronization of Macro Programming

Synchronization is the term used to describe the transfer of macros from one keyboard to another. Thus, if a system includes multiple keyboards, some or all of which are to have the same macros, it is only necessary to program the macros once on a single keyboard, and then copy the macros to the other system keyboards through the synchronization process.

Synchronization is accomplished by using battery backed RAM in the system CPU to temporarily hold a set of macros. The user then performs a “PUT” or a “GET”. A “PUT” transfers macros from the programmed keyboard to the system CPU. A “GET” transfers macros from the CPU to another keyboard.

To synchronize macros with other AD2089 keyboards, the operator must perform the following actions:

Keyboard to CPU Transfer

1Set the keyboard and corresponding AD1024 port to the appropriate baud rate.

2Initiate the macro transfer from keyboard to CPU by pressing [998], [F2]. The LED display will show the following message:

3To proceed with the transfer, press ACK. To cancel the action press CLEAR. Pressing any other key will generate a beep indicating an invalid keystroke. If ACK is selected, the LED display will show the following message:

4The number in the ENTER display indicates the percentage of macros successfully transferred to the keyboard. The number starts at 0 and increases in increments of 10, up to 100 percent. With the keyboard set to 9600 baud and connected directly to the CPU, the transfer will take up to three minutes. With the keyboard set at 1200 baud and connected through a Port Expander set at 4800 baud, the transfer will take up to 12 minutes. During the transfer, any keystroke will generate a beep (invalid keystroke). When the transfer is complete (the number “100” appears in the ENTER display), the ENTER display will then show the following message:

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.
