alarm

The system's response when a camera input changes from its normal state to

 

 

its abnormal state (if the system has been configured to respond to such a

 

 

condition).When an alarm is triggered, the TOUCH TRACKER beeps until you

 

 

acknowledge the alarm via the Ack button.

 

arming

Arming is the process by which a video monitor or monitor block is associated

 

 

with a specific alarm contact, and is assigned an appropriate monitor arming

 

 

code.

 

arming code

A monitor’s arming code defines how an alarm scene will be displayed,

 

 

queued, and cleared on the monitor. Display methods include Single, Dual, and

 

 

Block. Queuing methods include Hold and Sequence. Clearance methods

 

 

include Instant, Auto, and Manual.

 

auxiliary

A relay switch which controls the “on” or “off” state of devices such as door

 

 

locks, gates, and lights.

 

B

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

baud rate

A rate of transmission measured by the number of bits per second sent over a

 

 

computer-controlled communications line.

 

C

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

cable

two or more wires bundled together.

 

called monitor

The monitor that displays the video that is being controlled by the AD2089.

 

camera command

A directive issued to the camera via the AD2089 - a pan, tilt, zoom, focus, or

 

 

iris command.

 

camera lock

camera lock is a programmable function which prevents a user or keyboard

 

 

from controlling camera pan/tilt and lens adjustments, preset positioning, and

 

 

auxiliary actions.

 

checksum

A summation of digits or bits used primarily for checking purposes and

 

 

summed according to an arbitrary set of rules. The checksum is used to verify

 

 

the integrity of data.

 

D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DVMS

Intellex is a Digital Video Management System which is capable of capturing,

 

 

manipulating and storing video in a digital format. The AD2089 DVMS key

 

 

enables selection of the Playback Operate mode.

 

dwell time

The amount of time an individual camera scene is displayed on a monitor

 

 

screen before being replaces by the next scene in a sequence.

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.
