1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing this advanced Pan, Tilt and Zoom (PTZ) camera system. The system
comprises an integrated IP camera, optical zoom lens and high-precision, 360° pan and tilt system.
This PTZ camera system is a rugged design for use in exposed outdoor locations around the world.
This manual provides information for the installer and user of the PTZ units.
2. Product Features
This product is a highly flexible precision PTZ camera system fitted with a high resolution, high
sensitivity day/night zoom camera module.
The PTZ unit includes an advanced pan and tilt mechanism with brushless DC (BLDC) motors for
rapid and precise movement control with enhanced accuracy and reliability. The aluminium
pressure die cast housings, are highly durable and resistant to vandalism. A three-stage coating
system provides the housings with outstanding resistance to corrosion and degradation by UV.
The PTZ unit is available with an optional LED illuminator having high intensity white light and
infra-red lighting. The LEDs are controlled in banks to provide the best lighting for the ambient
conditions and the camera zoom position.
The product is supplied, as standard, with Ethernet IP control. The complete camera system is
compatible with industry standard control equipment making it ideal for system upgrades as well
as new installations.
The power and I/O umbilical cable provides connection to the installer provided power and a wide
range of alarm functions. Control and imagery are routed via an installer provided Cat5E ethernet
cable.

3. Safety
THIS CAMERA SYSTEM MUST BE INSTALLED, OPERATED AND MAINTAINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.
1) Please study this Technical Manual thoroughly before installing, maintaining, or using the
camera system.
2) Do not drop the PTZ camera unit.
3) The PTZ camera unit should only be connected, using the cable supplied, to an approved
power supply.
4) Ensure power is disconnected and locked off before installing or maintaining the system.
5) Do not mate the connectors to the unit with power on the connectors.
6) Installation of this system should be carried out by suitably trained and qualified technicians
in accordance with local electrical codes.
7) To prevent the risk of shock do not expose the camera unmated connectors to water before
or during installation.
8) Do not drop or shake the carton severely.
9) Do not touch the viewing windows as this may result in a blurred picture.
10) Do not clean the viewing windows with any abrasive material.
11) Do not turn the camera to face the sun directly as this may damage the camera imager.
12) Do not install or use the camera in an environment of extreme temperatures. See Product
Specification Section of this Manual for limitations.
13) Do not disassemble any part of this system with the power on.
14) This camera system is not suitable for the following environments:
a. Explosive atmospheres
b. Life critical systems
c. Safety critical systems
15) The camera system should be installed where it cannot be tampered with by unauthorised
personnel.
16) The camera system components should be securely fastened to a structure of sufficient
strength to support them. Allowance should be made for additional loads caused by local
wind effects.
17) For PTZ units fitted with an illuminator DO NOT look directly at the lights when power is on.
NOTE: The infra-red lights are dangerous at distances of less than 2 metres but are not
visible to the naked eye.
18) PTZ units fitted with an illuminator should not be installed or used in such a way that the
lights may dazzle people, especially those driving vehicles.
When shipping the camera by air it should only be carried in a pressurized hold as it is a
sealed system.

7. PTZ Camera Unit
7.1. Mechanical Features
The PTZ unit is supported by rolling element bearings from the mounting flange and is capable of
360° continuous pan rotation. Movement is by a high precision BLDC motor with direct drive.
The camera module and control electronics are housed in the tilt housing.
The tilt housing is supported on rolling element bearings from the pan housing and is capable of
360° continuous rotation but is limited by software end stops to 180 degrees (vertically straight
up to vertically straight down). The tilt head is protected from solar heating by fixed sun shields.

A wiper is fitted that may be remotely controlled to clear water from the viewing window of the
camera.
A version fitted with an LED illuminator is available. It consists of a set of white and infra-red
LEDs that are powered and controlled from within the PTZ unit. The lights are controlled
automatically to provide optimum illumination adjusted to the zoom distance of the camera.
Manual selection of white lighting is available via the control menus.

7.2. Electrical Features
The PTZ Unit must be connected to an approved Power Supply Unit (PSU) which converts mains
electricity to the 48V DC required to run the PTZ unit. The PSU should be rated for the maximum
power required at all operating temperatures of the PTZ to avoid damage to the PTZ unit or
overloading of the PSU. An EMC suppression unit should be fitted in the power supply lines to
maintain EMC compliance.

*Note: Power usage of the motors varies with wind loading, in normal weather this is minor, the
motor full load stated is unlikely to be seen. In extreme weather the Pan motor may take more
load, however the tilt motor will not see significant extra loading and therefore this maximum
loading in unlikely to occur unless both drive motors are prevented from moving.
