2. Preface
Congratulations for the purchasing of the world most compact PTZ (Pan, Tilt and Zoom) camera. The camera is designed and manufactured not just to meet the requirements for traditional CCTV and modern digital surveillance, but also increase the systems’ overall performance.
This camera line incorporates high resolution color CCD, with two types of lens available: power zoom or vari-focal. Some image and special effect functions are related to the type of lens, while other functions are the same across the line.
The PT mechanism provides controllable panning (360o) and tilting (90o)+ auto-rotation (180o) functions, giving users the capability to manipulate the camera for precise locating on target. The built-in micro-controller allows users to program up to 64 presets for quick and accurate capture to specific view positions. Moving speed, ranging from 0.25 to 300 degrees per second and is selectable to controller, is variable in 16 optional levels. Dwell time of each view position is also selectable from 1second up to 255 seconds.
System function includes I/O for alarm function for intrusion management, ID setup (maximum to 128) and impedance matching option for multiple node system, 3 control protocols, 3 options of baud rates, RS-485 communication format. This device is driven by DC12V power. It can be controlled by keyboard, PC, video server or standalone DVR.
For the power zoom version, a number of image related functions (such as DSP functions, lens functions, special effects of video…) are managed via OSD (On-Screen-Display) menu. These functions are explained in the section of OSD with details. The CCD can be set up for automatic switching to black-white mode for night-vision ready when illumination is low.
This camera is designed to be water-resistant for outdoor use, under the condition of normal temperature range from -10 o to 50o C. A companion outdoor housing is also available for severe weather condition (extreme low or high temperature environment).
