1. EPTZ900/500 OVERVIEW
1.1. Introduction
EPTZ900/500, an intelligent high-speed dome camera is ready to secure your
property with its omni-directional and exact monitoring. An 18X optical and 12X digital
zoom combining with a high-performance chip makes captured images clear and
vivid. The other powerful camera functions this type of speed dome equips with:
¾PAL / NTSC image format suppose.
¾Auto and fast focus increases the searching speed and precision.
¾Auto Iris adjusts the monitoring image to the best brightness.
¾White Balance function makes the shades of color more natural in different
light conditions.
¾BLC (Backlight Compensation) function makes objects clear in a high
illumination background.
¾Color / B&W images auto switching to enhance the sensitivity in a low light
condition or at night.
Furthermore, the micro control unit enables camera a nimble and exact movement
from minimal 0.01°/sec to maximal 360°/sec. It can go to every preset position in 1
second. It also has other advantages such as:
¾192 preset positions are available.
¾16 cruise tours can be set, and each tour contains up to 16 positions.
¾Up to256 speed domes can be supported on a RS485 bus when all speed
domes are controlled by multi-function keyboard controller.
¾Auto heater and fan to fit all kinds of temperature.
¾Provide 4 alarm inputs and 1 alarm output.

1.3.2. Base Board
The base board that is on the bottom of the housing connects to power cable, video
cable, control cable, alarm cable, fan and heater (fan and heater are for EPTZ900 only). In
order to connect to cables, the board needs to be taken off, and put back after finishing
connecting to all cables. The connectors of cable names are marked on the board in white
text. The details of the alarm connector (JP5) are shown on the APPENDIX A.
For EPTZ900, JP1, JP3 and JP6 that are two-pin connectors on the base board need to
be taken off during installation. JP1 and JP3 are connectors for heater, and they can be
switched. JP6 is a fan controller connector that turns on/off of the fan. The 3 cables are too
short to be connected to a wrong connector when putting them back.
