CHAPTER 3：Connection & Setup
3.1 Intelligent speed dome camera connection diagram
3.2 Cable connection
Please check carefully the voltage and current capacity of the electrical power source. The
correct power to operate the camera is AC24V / 1.5A;
There is one AC24V, 3A PSU in the packing carton of speed dome camera. We suggest you to
use this PSU to power supply the speed dome camera. If the power is not enough, the
camera will not work properly.
The BNC connector can be connected to video coaxial cable directly for video signal
transmission.
Please check the polarity of Rs-485 cable before installation. If the Rs-485 cables connected
reversed, the camera will not get any response from controller.
Notices: We suggest you select twisted cable that the copper wire diameter is more than
0.25mm. And if the transmission distance is more than 700 feet, we suggest you to select one
Rs-485 signal amplifier. Or the Rs-485 control may not work properly.

7
3.3 RS-485 match resistance application
In order to get one good RS-485 control, to avoid the reflection and disturbance of RS-485
communication signal or other signals, one terminal match resistance is needed on the last
dome camera. Please check the anti-surge adopter. There is one Jump Switch on the ―JP1‖, it’s
terminal match resistance for the last dome camera. Put the jump socket on the two pins
marked with ―ON‖, then the terminal match resistance is connected into RS-485 bus.
Chapter 4：Protocol & Address Code Setting
Before installation, please check the Communication Protocol, Baud Rate and Address Code
of the control main machine in the system. There are two groups dip switch which be used
to set protocol, baud rate and address of dome camera. Please set the dip switch consistent
with system.

Before the application of high speed pan/tilt dome, the address code should be setup firstly.
The address code is decided by the 10 bits dip switch on PCB which adopted with 8421 code.
Support up to 1024 pieces addresses. ON is respected by Number 1. OFF is respected by
Number 0. Please check the attached address list at the back of manual for the detailed setting
way (Refer to Chapter 10: Address code DIP diagram).
Factory default protocol is
PELCO-D; Baud rare: 2400bps
Baud Rate is 2400bps

10
Notice
Factory default address code is 1.
Please make sure dip switch is on position,
otherwise, the dome camera will be out of
control.
Please make sure the dome can be
controlled before installation.

Dip switch has defined address number for each bit, as above diagram: No.1 stands for 1st address No.,
No.2 stands for 2nd address No., No. 3 stands for 4th address No., and No. 4 stands for 8th address
No.……, how many channels you would like to set, just dip the relevant serial number to ―on‖. You can
add existing address bits to get what you can not find from the dip switch diagram.
I.e. if you want to dip the 1st address No, just dip serial No. 1 to ―ON‖. If you want No.37 address,
just dip No.1, No.4, No.32 to ―ON‖position.
Chapter 5：Guide of The Control of Speed Dome by Keyboard
All the functions of high speed dome camera can be achieved through the control by
keyboard. Because the detailed operation from different company is different, if the
control system is from other company, please control the dome according to the
instruction from control system supplier. Some special functions of high speed dome ask
special operation, please connect with the control system supplier for detailed operation
way.
(We suggest choosing our controller with dome camera that can help you to get
more function)
For the following description, control way is the same, no matter what protocol to be
selected. Like Pleco-D, Pelco-P or anyone else!

Chapter 6: Guide of OSD Menu Application
Checking before Operation:
Checking the cable connection carefully before camera be powered;
The camera address ID of the controller must be same of the camera address ID. The camera
ID can be checked by reading DIP switch on PCB of camera.
If your controller supports multi-protocols, the protocol must be adjusted to the same as
camera protocol.
The protocol changing on camera by DIP switch will come into work after camera restart.
Since the operation methods are different from different suppliers. Generally the operation of
controller should base on the manual from the manufacturer of controller. Some special
functions of our high speed dome camera can’t be operated by other manufacturer’s controller.
There are some special demands and operations at some times, please connect with the dealer
or manufacturer which you selected controller.
Since preset 95 is used to start the OSD menu, so it can’t be used as regular preset. Therefore,
the description ―Presets 1~128 always means excluding Preset 95 in this manual‖
Self-Checking Information:
If controller without ―SAL‖function key, it can realize the Pattern, Swing and group
function through call back relevant preset, the details as bellow:
4 patterns use from ―131‖to ―134‖preset to operate the patterns which have been setup.
8 Swings using from ―141‖to ―‖148 preset to operate the swings which have been setup
8 Groups use from ―151‖to ―158‖preset to operate the swings which have been setup..

I.E. To run No.5 group: Input [25]---[SAL];
Group Deletion: The group can be deleted by OSD menu.
6.Other Functions:
Information protection after power off: This function can get back the last automatically
running action. Besides manual operation, preset, swing, trace recording, pattern all can be
got back.
180°auto flip function: If the vertical turning of camera is more than 90°, it can automatically
180°turning at horizontal direction. Then camera can continuously trace objection.
Park Function: With this function, camera can automatically turn to one special position to
rectify mistakes which be accumulated through automatic turning. (Normally, the park
position is No.1 preset point);
If the camera is not operated for a while, the camera also can turn to park position
automatically. The waiting time of park position is adjustable from 1 minute to 4 hours.
This function enables to locate the camera to specific position automatically if operator does
not operate the controller for a while. The Park Time can be defined as an interval from 1min.
to 4 hours.
