Precautions 1
Pan, Tilt and Zoom Dome Camera / PTZ-2201-10
•Electrical Safety
oUse only a 12VDC 1.0 Amp power adapter to power this camera. Use of any other
power adapter will damage the camera and void the warranty.
oAlways shield camera from induced electrical charges such as high load electrical
lines and lightning.
oObserve all country, county and city electrical safety standards and regulations
when installing or using this product. Failure to do so may cause damage to the
camera, building wiring or bodily injury.
•Transportation
oThe Dome camera must be protected from pressure, vibration and humidity
during storage and transportation. It should be shipped only in the original
packaging to prevent damage. Damage caused by physical abuse or improper
transportation of the camera will void the warranty.
•Installation
oDo not modify the camera in any way. Modification of the camera, bracket or
housing can permanently damage the camera and will cause the warranty to be
void.
oThe Dome Cover is a precision optical product; do not touch it directly to avoid
scratches which can affect image quality.
oAll camera installation work should be performed by a licensed and qualified
technician. Improper connection or installation can cause damage to the camera.
•Disassembly
oUse caution when opening the sealed dome. Opening the dome can damage the
weather seals, and cause moisture to damage the sensitive electronics. Always
lubricate the seals prior to reinstalling the dome cover and replace any seals that
are damaged prior to operation.
•Environmental Requirements
oOperating Environment:
Temperature: -35° to 50° C
Humidity: <90%
Air Pressure: 86-106 Kpa
Power Input: 12 VDC/1000 mA
•Lighting Conditions
oDon’t place the camera to directly view any strong lights.
oDon’t ever point the camera into direct sunlight, doing so can cause the image
sensor to burn and will void the camera’s warranty.

Dome Features 3
Pan, Tilt and Zoom Dome Camera / PTZ-2201-10
This section of the manual is designed to provide basic description of the PTZ camera and its
functions. Actual operation may vary slightly dependent on the control methods and
DVR/PTZ keyboard utilized.
3.1 Automatic Camera Actions
•Auto Focus
The PTZ-2201 camera is equipped with an auto-focus lens. Once the camera has
moved, or objects shift on the main screen, the lens will attempt to automatically
focus the lens.
•Preset Pattern Tour
The camera can run a pattern of preset positions, allowing you to specify the presets
and the order for the pattern.
•Home Action
Presets can be used to set a Home position and home time, when the camera has not
been controlled in a few minutes, and then the camera will return to the preset Home
position.
3.2 Camera Control
•Magnification Control
The user can adjust the zoom of the image through the “Wide/Tele” commands on a
PTZ Keyboard or DVR with RS-485 controls. This speed dome supports optical and
digital zoom capabilities.
•Focus Control
The PTZ-2201 system defaults to Auto-Focus. When the lens changes to zoom in or
out, the lens will automatically adjust the focus according to the objects in the center
of the camera’s view. The user can manually adjust the focus of the camera by using a
PTZ Keyboard with “Far/Near” buttons or with DVR using the Far/Near commands
through RS-485 control. Once the joystick is manipulated to move the camera, the
Auto-Focus will be re-enabled again.
The camera may not auto-focus in the following situations:
oTarget is not at the center of the image
oCamera is observing objects in the foreground and background at the same
time
oTarget is a strong light object such as a spotlight
oTarget is moving too fast
oTarget is too dark or vague
oTarget image is too small
•Iris Control
System defaults to Auto-Iris. Camera can rapidly adjust size of Iris, this adjusts the
amount of light that is allowed into the image sensor of the camera. User may adjust
the Iris by a PTZ Controller keyboard using the “Open/Close” key or through a DVR
with RS-485 PTZ Controls. User can reassume Auto-Iris control by simply moving
the camera again using the joystick.

Dome Features 3
Pan, Tilt and Zoom Dome Camera / PTZ-2201-10
•Auto Backlight Compensation
The PTZ-2201 can automatically compensate for backlight conditions. The camera
will automatically adjust the brightness of certain areas of the image in order to
brighten an object that is being affected by a backlit condition.
•Auto White Balance
The camera will automatically adjust the white balance of the image based on the
lightness of the image to help restore true color even in very bright or dim conditions.
3.3 Advanced Functions
•Set and Recall Preset Positions
The preset positions are specific positions that can be programmed into the PTZ
Camera using your PTZ Controller, which allows you to save up to 32 preset positions
and recall them quickly for rapid camera movement.
•Pattern Tour
This camera has built-in Tour capabilities, which allows you to automatically cycle
through preset positions in a specific order.
•Scan
The user can set up the PTZ-2201 camera to scan between a left and right point
smoothly. This function is popular for a continuous back and forth scanning motion
to view around corners and more.

configuration, but will be similar on any PC-Based DVR.
5.2.1 Connect RS-485 wires to RS-001 (RS232 to RS485 adapter)
First, you will need to connect the RS-485 wires from the PTZ camera to
the data wires on the RS-001 adapter (serial port to RS-485 adapter).
The RS-001 serial port adapter (available separately), must then be
plugged into a serial port or USB serial port adapter on your PC running

default, just like the camera, so you will simply need to touch the number
that matches the address of the
camera, then press the ‘CAM’
button. This will set the CamID
to the number you selected.
