macro

A macro is a programmable sequence of keystrokes which allow the operator

 

 

to execute the keystroke sequence by pressing a numeric entry and a single

 

 

(macro) key. The 2089 keyboard contains eight macro keys which can be

 

 

programmed for up to 1000 macro sequences distributed among the eight

 

 

keys.

 

momentary relay

An auxiliary relay that is active as long as its control button is pressed. An

 

 

example of momentary auxiliary action is a door that remains unlocked as long

 

 

as the Auxiliary On button is pressed. When the button is released, the door

 

 

returns to its locked state. See also auxiliary and latched relay.

 

monitor

The screen where camera video is displayed.

 

monitor tour

A sequence of video inputs with specified dwell times that are displayed one

 

 

after the other on a monitor called manually by a system operator. See also

 

 

system tour.

 

O

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

output

An auxiliary signal. Outputs lock and unlock doors, turn lights on and off,

 

 

activate audible alarms, etc. Outputs can also be initiated automatically in

 

 

response to an alarm.

 

P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

pan

Side to side camera movement

 

pattern

A sequence of pan, tilt, zoom, focus, and iris movements from a single

 

 

programmable dome. The dome “learns” these movements in real time through

 

 

keyboard programming, and can replay them automatically

 

preset

A preset is a pre-positioned camera scene which can be programmed with

 

 

cameras installed with pan/tilt and motorized lens capability. A preset can be

 

 

called to a monitor through manual keyboard control, or can appear

 

 

automatically as part of a system tour or salvo. Presets are also referred to as

 

 

Targets or Shots.

 

protocol

The method by which data is transmitted. Essentially, the language a system

 

 

speaks. RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 are protocols that can be used by the

 

 

AD2089.

 

S

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

salvo

A salvo is a simultaneous display of multiple camera scenes appearing on a

 

 

contiguous set of monitors. A salvo can be called manually by a system

 

 

operator, or can appear automatically as part of a system tour or alarm call-up.

 

switching system

A system in which an incoming video signal or signals are routed to a bay, and

 

 

then can be switched either manually or automatically to any one of multiple

 

 

video outputs. The AD168 switching system can accommodate up to 168 video

 

 

inputs and up to 24 video outputs.

 

synchronization

Synchronization is the process by which macros programmed for one AD2089

 

 

keyboard are copied into other AD2089 keyboards by transferring the macros

 

 

from the original macro-programmed keyboard to the system CPU, and then

 

 

transferring the macros from the CPU to another keyboard.

 

system tour

Also referred to as a universal tour. A programmed sequence of cameras with

 

 

assigned dwell times, presets, auxiliaries, and connect next designations.

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.
