MIC400 Series Camera Installation and Operation Manual | EN 37 |
Wash Wipe
If Wash Wipe is On then, when the Wash auxiliary is set the MIC will return to a preset Wash Position activate the washer relay in the PSU and turn on the wiper. When the auxiliary is turned off again, the MIC will return to its prior position and turn the wiper off. If Wash Wipe is Off then when the aux is activated the MIC will simply close the washer relay and remain in its current position.
Auto Alarm
This is used for both single and multi alarm functionality. With Auto Alarm on and Multi Alarm off, the MIC will monitor the tamper switch line, moving to the programmable Alarm Position when the connection is grounded. If Auto Alarm is turned off the MIC will ignore any change in status of the tamper line.
Multi Alarm
With this the user can setup a separate position for each of the 8 alarm inputs. Any given alarm input will trigger the MIC to move to the position with which it is associated. To get this functionality working both Auto Alarm and Multi Alarm should be turned on.
Photocell IR
This mode enables the user to attach an external photocell to the power supply to control the IR lamps. The device is connected to alarm input 4, meaning that when the light levels drop sufficiently alarm 4 is triggered, and instead of moving the MIC detects this as an activation signal for the lamps. When the light levels pick up again, the alarm will deactivate and the lamps will be turned off. This mode can enable the user to hide the sensor away from any large external lighting which may cause the camera to flick in and out of IR mode under Auto conditions.
Camera Power
This can be used to turn the camera module inside the MIC off as required.
Digital Zoom
This is an override for the Digital Zoom Auxiliary, meaning that if On this will allow digital zoom to be controlled by the aux state, but if off, will never allow digital zoom no matter what the state of the aux.
Auto Flip
With this enabled the MIC will pan through 180 degrees as it reaches the vertical position so the user can then tilt down the other side meaning the MIC video is never inverted. Once the rotation is complete the controls are reversed until a stop command is received, at which point they are returned to normal.
Auto IR
In this mode the camera module is monitored for its current IR state, as soon as the light drops sufficiently, the module will automatically put the cut filter in place and switch to black and white, at which point the MIC will turn on the IR lamps.
Auto Lowlight
If this is turned on, the MIC will decrease its shutter speed as the light levels drop, rather than increasing the gain. Motion blur on the video can occur if the frame rate drops sufficiently low, which may not be ideal for a camera which is continually moving. However if motionless, the images will not have the grain associated with lowlight conditions. The gain at which a change is made and the lowest frame rate can be controlled under the Frame Integration section.
Auto Home Controls
After a programmable time with no manual control the MIC can be configured to either, move to the home position (Preset 1) or start tour / pattern 1. With Auto Home turned off the MIC will simply remain stationary until the next user input. The amount of time before this takes place can be set using the input boxes and the Set Time button.
