1 Getting Started
Install and wire the AutoDome according to the VG5 AutoDome Installation Manual. A typical
system includes a keyboard, matrix switcher, monitor, and appropriate wiring connections.
Please refer to the individual product manuals for complete installation and setup instructions
for each of the system components.
1.1 Powering On
When you turn the AutoDome power on there is a ten (10) second pause before the dome
starts its homing phase. During the homing phase the camera pans left and right and tilts up
and down. It also adjusts the lens focus. The entire homing phase lasts approximately 40
seconds and ends with a firmware version screen.
Figure 1.1 Sample VG5 Startup Firmware Version Screen
The splash screen displays the type of AutoDome, the camera installed, the firmware levels for
various files, and the current IP address (for VG5 AutoDome 700 Series models).
1.2 Establishing AutoDome Control
The most common ways to interface with the AutoDome are:
– Using a keyboard and on-screen display (OSD) menus. This method is the most common
and is covered in this manual.
– Using the AutoDome Configuration Tool software running on a PC with Bilinx or the RS-
232/485 communication protocol. Refer to the CTFID User Manual for instructions.
– Using a PC-based graphical user interface (GUI) such as the Bosch DiBos 8 software.
Refer to the DiBos 8 User Guide for instructions.

–ON-998-ENTER: Displays and programs all cameras with or without an address in the
system.
–ON-997-ENTER: Displays the current address status of all cameras in the system
simultaneously.
To set an address for a camera without an address:
1. Select the camera number you want to FastAddress. The system displays the camera
number on the keyboard and the image on the corresponding monitor.
2. Press #-ENTER (where #is the camera number without an address).
3. Press ON-999-ENTER to invoke an on-screen display of cameras on the system without
an address.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions. You receive an on-screen confirmation when the
FastAddress is complete.
To change or clear an address for a camera with an address:
1. Select the camera number you want to FastAddress. The system displays the camera
number on the keyboard and the image on the corresponding monitor.
2. Press #-ENTER (where #is the camera number with an address).
3. Press ON-998-ENTER to invoke an on-screen display of all cameras on the system, with or
without an address.
4. Follow the on screen instructions. You receive an on-screen confirmation when the
FastAddress is complete.
NOTICE! You do not need to set a camera address if using Bilinx or Ethernet communication.
See the VG5 AutoDome Installation Manual to configure an AutoDome for Bilinx or Ethernet
operation.
NOTICE! If a keyboard is set to a camera number that already has an address, that camera
also responds to this command.
NOTICE!
FastAddress is stored in nonvolatile memory and does not change if the power is turned off or
if the default settings are restored.

2.8 Rule Setup Menu
The Rule Setup Menu shows the status of the rules and lets you add new rules or modify an
existing rule. The default setting is Empty.
Rule Setup Menu Choices
Selecting a Rule number provides access to its configuration menu. The Rule # Menu allows
you to configure a rule from previously defined alarm inputs and outputs. Once an alarm is
configured with valid inputs and outputs, it can be turned on or off (enabled or disabled)
through its configuration menu.
NOTICE!
You can program a total of twelve rules. You must define the inputs and outputs before you
program a rule. See Section 2.7 Alarm I/O Setup, page 18, to configure alarm inputs and
outputs.
