100x Mini Pan/Tilt/Zoom Camera Reference Guide

 

[This note applies to all ICR Flex & Pro series DVRs]

This guide references quick solutions to commonly asked questions about the 100x Pan/Tilt/Zoom camera. For a more in-depth explanation, please refer to the instruction manual that was included with the camera.

 

Step 1: Installing the camera will start out by correctly wiring everything with the terminals that were included with the camera. Below gives a quick run through on which position is needed for what terminal on the camera. It is recommended to wire the terminals on a leveled comfortable space for assurance everything is wired correctly.

 

               Once wiring is complete, you need to issue the camera a unique ID (address) so that it doesn’t interact with other control driven cameras. The dip switch (located above the terminals) physically allows you to set this ID and also the protocol an baud-rate of the camera. Refer to your manual for a detailed table on different dip switch configurations. 

 

 

Step 2: After properly wiring, making the runs and installing the camera at the location (refer to the cameras manual if having trouble mounting), power it up and assure proper video is seen. Next you would need to configure the DVR or controller you’re using to be able to communicate with the camera. First be sure to properly connect your RS485 communication wire (+, -) to the said controlling device. If you are connecting the camera to one of our DVRs, refer to the links describing how to make a proper connection for it. Below includes the protocol and baud-rate options included with the camera (which can be changed from the illustration above):

 

Protocol: Pelco D, Pelco P

Baud-rate: 2400, 9600

           

If everything was done accurately, you should now have control of the Pan/Tilt/Zoom camera.

 

Step 3: Now on to setting up auto scans, tours, patterns etc. As always the camera has its own OSD (On Screen Display) which has options to configure these operations. For other settings pertaining to the camera itself, please refer to the manual. Below will give you table of predetermined presets that come along with the camera already set. You can not use these present numbers for anything else but what their function already is. The next table will describe how to navigate the menus of the camera. Note: to get in to the OSD use 95 + Preset.

 

 

 

Step 4: To setup an auto scan, navigate to “AUTO SCAN” from the main menu of the OSD. Once in the menu follow the illustration below and the steps that follow. Refer to the function table to understand how to navigate through the menus.

 

Auto Scan gives the feature to pan from one point to the other

 

Start Angle – Press Focus Far to indicate the location of the start position. Press Focus Far again to save that position.

 

End Angle - Press Focus Far to indicate the location of the end position. Press Focus Far again to save that position.

 

Direction – Direction how the scan will pan which is either CW (clockwise) or CCW (counter clockwise). Move the joystick right or left to choose the option.

 

Endless – Keeps the scan panning until stopped. Either turn it On or Off. Move the joystick right or left to choose the option.

 

Speed – How fast the scan will go. It’s decided by degrees and ranges from 5 to 35.

 

Dwell Time – How long the scan will stay at the two points. Ranges from 1 to 30 seconds. Move the joystick right or left to choose the option.

 

Step 5: To setup tours, navigate to “TOUR SET” from the main menu of the OSD. Once in the menu follow the illustration below and the steps that follow. Refer to the function table to understand how to navigate through the menus.

 

Touring allows you to set up to 60 different steps of various presets for you to go through

 

Tour No – Tour number which ranges from 1 to 8.

 

Tour Title – Title a tour. Move the joystick right or left for each position entry. Use Zoom Tele and Zoom Wide to change the character.

 

Tour Step – With a possibility to set up to 60 steps, select one step at a time and set a preset number below.

 

Preset No – Set which preset you want to use for the decided preset step you chose above.

 

Dwell Time – How long it will stay at a given preset. Can be set from 1 to 99 seconds.

 

Speed – How fast each preset step can go. It is measured in degrees and can go from 10 to 200.

 

Step 6: To setup patterns, navigate to “PATTERN SET” from the main menu of the OSD. Once in the menu follow the illustration below and the steps that follow. Refer to the function table to understand how to navigate through the menus.

 

Patterns allow you to record joystick (control) movement and saved as a preset

 

Patt No – Pattern number which ranges from 1 to 8.

 

Patt Title – Title a pattern. Move the joystick right or left for each position entry. Use Zoom Tele and Zoom Wide to change the character.

 

Data Fill – Indicates how much data is left to program for that pattern number. Once you start the data fill, it will be like its “recording” the movement of the camera in real time for that specific pattern number.  To start the data fill press Focus Far and when done, press Focus Far again.
