The JA-110C BUS photo verification camera
The JA-110C BUS photo verification camera 1 / 2 MNT51103
The JA-110C serves for taking one static picture of protected premises and
transfer to the JABLOTRON 100 control panel. The camera can take a photo
on command if it is required (by activation of a PG output by SMS or dialling in,
a requirement from the MyJABLOTRON app or by activation of any detector –
again via a PG output). This setting can be extended by the optional photo
buffering function. It splits taking the photos into pre-photos when the camera
regularly takes photos at a pre-defined frequency and saves them to its buffer
and also into post-photos when it takes the required number of photos after
activation.
The camera has built-in IR illumination for taking pictures in bad light
conditions and also a lighting intensity detector which can switch ON any PG
output (For instance to turn the external lighting on).
The camera also has a built-in tilt detector which protects against unwanted
manipulation. It occupies one position in the system.
The camera should be installed by a trained technician with a valid certificate
issued by an authorised distributor.
Installation
The camera can be installed outdoors or indoors. Although the camera has a
basic level of protection
against water for outdoor
installation we recommend
using additional cover
because of rain and snow
protection. If the front glass is
included in the additional
cover then IR illumination has
to be disabled. An external IR
illuminator can be used for
the illumination of the
monitored area and can also
be switched on by the
function “External device
triggering”. For simple setting
of the monitored area the
camera is equipped with a
jointed holder (1).

3 – Indication LEDs and IR illumination
1. Open the lower camera cover (by
releasing 2 screws).
2. The camera’s jointed holder includes two
parts which split the adjustable joint (1).
Disassemble the holder by unscrewing to
get to its two parts (1).
3. Install the lower part of the holder onto the
required place using two screws.
4. On the rear part of the camera release the
bushing (4) and put the BUS cable
through the camera.
5. Connect the BUS cable to the BUS
terminals (7).

When connecting the detector to the system BUS,
always switch the power off.
6. Proceed according to the control panel installation manual. Enrolling the
camera to the system and setting all parameters can only be performed in
Service mode.
Basic procedure:
a. When the system has been turned on then the yellow LED (3) flashes
and it indicates the camera has not been enrolled to the system yet.
b. Using F-Link software, select the required position in the Devices
window and launch enrolment mode by clicking on the Enroll option.
c. Press the LEARN/TAMPER (8) button in the camera – the camera is
thus enrolled to the system on the required position and the yellow
LED indicator goes off.
7. Close the camera’s rear cover part first and then its front part –
confirm hearing the tamper contact clicking (when the cover is
closed from the side it could cause the tamper contact to be
switched on incorrectly (it slides down from the plastic edge) and in
the Diagnostic tab the activated tamper contact of the camera is
visible.
Notes:
When the camera is placed out of protected area, for example in outdoor
environment, we strictly recommend using the JA-110T BUS isolator and put it
to BUS leg. This leg will protect the BUS against unwanted manipulation
(tampering).
The camera is not equipped with an IR filter to get the best picture quality at
night which is why pictures taken during the day could be violet coloured.
The module can also be enrolled to the system by entering its production
code (6) in the F-Link software or using a bar code scanner. All numbers stated
under the bar code shall be entered (1400-00-0000-0001) or by option
“Scan/Add new BUS devices”.
If the camera is enrolled as a first camera or a control panel is not connected
to an external mass storage area (http://img.jablotron.cz), F-Link shows a
dialogue window with a question: „Enable image transfer to the IMG server?“.
We strictly recommend enabling this option with the agreement of the customer
and confirming this acceptance by recording it in the system service log with his
signature.
Caution: If the transmission is not enabled, photos will be saved in the
internal memory of the camera and the control panel. Then it is impossible to
send them to users´ cell phones and e-mails.
Setting the camera properties
The camera properties can be set by F-Link software (version 1.2.3 and
higher) – Devices tab. When at the camera position, use the Internal settings
option to open a dialog window where the following settings can be configured
(*default settings):
Activation PG for one photo: (*No) The function primarily serves to take
one photo when a selected PG (PGs) is triggered. The camera takes this photo
in LQ and HQ, but only LQ is sent. The HQ photo is temporarily stored in the
camera memory and sent when it is requested via the MyJABLOTRON app or
F-Link.
Note: The camera has a buffer for approximately 100 photos and it is also
the limitation for photos requested by the activation of a PG output to 3 photos
in 10 minutes.
Transferred to ARC as an alarm photo: (*Disabled) This option
determines if the captured photo will be taken as an alarm photo and sent to
the ARC.
Note: This option is visible if at least one activation PG is selected.
LED flashes every 30 s: (*Disabled)
By enabling this option the camera flashes every 30 s and then always when
a photo is taken. For outdoor detectors, sirens or any other verification devices
it is good to indicate they are active by regular warning flashes of the LED (they
can be taken as pre-detectors to detect any potential intrusion).
Photo buffering: (*Disabled) Activation of this option enables the function of
storing photos in the camera’s buffer memory using the set interval. If the
memory is full, the oldest photos are deleted. By subsequently setting “Photos
before activation” and “Photos after activation” of the selected PG you can
store and send photos that can show what happened before or after the entire
PG activation.
Note: When setting the photo buffering function you should consider the
number of photos sent from the system (mentioned in the control panel
installation manual), especially if more cameras are installed in the system.
Transferred to ARC as an alarm photos: (*Disabled) This option
determines if the captured photos will be taken as alarm photos and whether
sent to the ARC.
Note: This option is visible when the parameter “Photo buffering” is enabled.
Taking a series of photos when PG triggered: (*No). This function is
primarily used to send a series of photos when a selected PG (or PGs) is
triggered. The number of saved photos before and after triggering of the
selected photos results from the subsequent setting. An activation photo for
Photo buffering is taken in LQ.
Photo interval (1-15 s.): (*5 s) It is used to set the frequency of photos in a
series. The optimum setting depends on the particular installation situation. For
instance: if the intruder is expected to come from the side or if the field of view
of the camera or the surrounding space is limited, a shorter time should be set.
The disadvantage is that the saved photos in the camera are overwritten more
quickly. If the camera covers a larger area and if the intruder is expected to
move towards the camera, a longer time should be set.
Note: We recommend you to test the camera setting in each situation in the
real environment (simulate the intruder). This is the only way to get the
product’s optimal setting.
Pre-PG activation photos: (*Enabled) Disabling the option prevents the
saving and subsequent sending of photos taken before the triggering of the
selected PG (or PGs). Photos taken before activation of a PG are only saved in
LQ.
Post-PG activation photos: (*Enabled) Disabling this option prevents the
saving and subsequent sending of photos taken after activation of the selected
PG (or PGs). Photos taken after PG activation are saved in LQ and HQ.
Number of taken photos (1-15 photos): (*1) This option serves for
setting the number of photos that are to be saved before/after triggering of
the selected PG. The total sum of saved photos may be max 15 + 1
activation (initiated by PG triggering). These 15 photos may include photos
before and after activation of the PG in accordance with the customer´s
requirements or particular installation situation.
Number of sent photos (1-5 photos): (*1) This option serves for setting
the number of photos that are sent to the control panel and then through an
SMS or directly to the MyJABLOTRON portal. Always at least one photo
before the activation, the photo initiated by PG activation and a photo after
activation are sent.

Note: A photo taken by a PG output activation is sent as the first one,
photos taken before an activation are sent subsequently and photos after the
activation sent last. In the MyJABLOTRON app photos are displayed in the
order they were taken.
Tampering detector (tilt detector): (*Enabled) This option can disable
the reporting of a tamper alarm to the control panel in the case of tampering
with the camera (it does not have any influence on the tamper contact on the
camera cover). It can be used for problematic windy locations to eliminate
false alarms. However, by disabling the parameter you risk the camera being
turned to another direction without it being reported to the system. In such a
case we recommend you to enable the parameter “Tamper-activated
photos”.
Tamper-activated photos: (*Enabled) This option can disable taking and
sending photos in the case of camera tampering. When “Photo buffering” is
disabled and the tilt detector is activated, the camera takes 3 photos with a
5 s pause between them. When that parameter is enabled the camera takes
and sends photos according to the pre-set mode (respects its settings fully –
number of taken photos, time interval, etc.).
Note: Sometimes it could happen that photos will be taken at the same time
(duplication). This is determined by the camera’s internal algorithm.
IR supplementary illumination: (*Auto) The automatic function of
illumination by IR LED diodes of the camera is set in such a way that if the
ambient illumination drops below a certain level (dusk/sunset), the illumination
is automatically enabled. As soon as the ambient illumination level increases
(sunrise), the illumination is disabled. If the function “Pre-PG-Activation
photos” is “OFF”, the IR illumination is only activated on triggering of the PG
and for photos taken after the PG triggering. If “Always” is selected, IR
illumination will be permanently on. IR illumination can also be completely
disabled (we recommend it when camera is place in an outdoor housing).
Higher IR illumination level: (*Disabled) This option allows you to
increase the IR LED diode lighting intensity level.
Warning: the increase of the intensity level will cause a higher consumption
from the BUS (by up to 150 mA – 250 mA), you should check the total
consumption from the BUS to maintain the backup of the system.
External device triggering: (*Disabled) When the option is enabled the
camera can use its internal illumination detector to trigger the PG. Select the
PG output in the camera internal settings in the Devices tab. By moving the
value between 0 (dark) and 10 (light) on the scale you determine under what
illumination conditions the PG is to be activated. To set the correct level for
particular illumination you can use the PG activation indicator located next to
the scale. When PG is ON the indicator goes red and when the PG is OFF
the indicator goes green.
Note: The controlled PG must have the “Copy” function (can be set in the
PG outputs tab).
Test: It takes a one test photo in LQ and shows it in F-Link. Then when you
click on the Detail button photos are displayed in HQ. Photos are
simultaneously sent to the external mass storage area (if transfers are
enabled).
Saving and browsing the pictures
Some photos (activation photos which are not in Photo buffering mode and
photos taken when after PG has been triggered in Photo buffering mode) are
taken as a double exposure: the first with low resolution (LQ=320x240 pixels),
second with high resolution (HQ=640x480 pixels).
All exposures are saved in the internal memory (built-in SD card) into the
independent folders Foto_LQ and Foto_HQ. When the card is fully loaded, the
oldest photos are replaced by new ones. Photos saved on the SD card can be
browsed by a normal PC browser when the camera is connected via a USB
cable.
Photos are sent to the control panel in LQ. You can browse through the
images by F-Link and J-Link software (in the Event memory, click on event
New image). Pictures are displayed in LQ, if you click on Detail you can get
pictures of the second exposure HQ (if existing). Images can be searched and
browsed by a file manager or picture browser. For another option to show the
pictures it is necessary to start F-Link (J-Link) software and be logged into the
control panel as a service technician or Administrator and then under Disc:
Flexi_log/Foto photos are available which have been sent to the control panel
(LQ) and photos which have been requested in Detail (HQ).
Note: Some antivirus software writes checking data on the micro SD card.
The camera notices unknown files (the checking data) so formatting the SD
card will be performed. SD card formatting erases all data which has been
saved on the SD card.
Picture transmission from the control
panel to the MyJABLOTRON
If there is a SIM card supplied by the distributor and if the user uses
MyJABLOTRON services, then access to photos is automatically allowed.
Settings of the control panel for transferring pictures are done when the panel
is registered. All the photos are saved and visible in the MyJABLOTRON
application. The MyJABLOTRON application has an option to fill in telephone
numbers (for SMSes) or e-mails to get the photos when they are taken
(Notification). Using MyJABLOTRON it is also possible to request a new
picture without PG output activation (see Installation recommendations).
Note: If the user doesn´t use or want to use the MyJABLOTRON application,
sending pictures straight from the control panel will work normally. The control
panel sends an SMS report to all selected users according to the F-Link
software, Users reports tab, Alarm photo settings. Sent SMSes include an
http link for displaying the photo, which on cell phones with an internet
connection can be displayed directly.
CAUTION: Because this camera allows you to take photos when the system
is unset by a PG state or from MyJABLOTRON, the producer strictly warns the
user that the camera has to be used within the limits given by particular laws or
norms, especially norms about the protection of personal privacy.
The use of the camera is also subject to regulations on the protection of
personal data and the producer recommends that users should be aware of
the obligations applicable to the operation of CCTV.
According to these regulations MyJABLOTRON users have an obligation to
ensure the approval of persons in the range of the camera during the
acquisition of photos or the obligation to indicate the image capture area by
information signs.
Installation recommendations
Several JA-110C cameras can be installed in the system. When several
cameras are triggered at the same time, the transmission time to the
control panel and outward is extended. A whole transmission can take a
few minutes. It is also necessary to pay attention to the current peak
from the control panel when requesting the new photo by triggering
more cameras with an external IR illumination (all at the same time).
For taking photos by PG status set PG outputs / Function Impulse
to a time of at least 15 sec. via F-Link software. The camera has an
internal algorithm which limits taking the photos by PG status to
3 photos per 10 minutes.
The camera has no internal counter of photos taken in a day. The
only limitation to the number of photos taken by a PG output is a
limit of 3 photos per 10 minutes.
Before you start using the MyJABLOTRON application or external
mass storage area check the cost of GPRS transfers with your
GSM provider.
If several PG outputs have been triggered at the same time or
getting buffered photos is being performed, the camera uses
already taken pictures so they could be duplicated. The
MyJablotron application copies these photos subsequently to the
correct events (switched PG outputs).
