This manual describes the advanced features of your 22X indoor dome camera. The User manual
should be followed for installation and basic setup of the camera. This manual assumes that the
camera has been installed and set up using that manual, RELPTZ22-30B. In this manual you will
learn how to set up Auto Scans, Presets, Tours, Alarms and Area Titles. You will do this using the
DOME MENU and the submenus and a control device such as a keyboard controller or DVR.
In addition, Appendix A of this manual provides Camera Address settings for up to 255 cameras. It
also provides a shortcut key list that provides the shortcut keys you can use on the REVO
keyboard controller to initiate various camera functions.
For the purposes of describing the commands and configurations available on the camera, all
commands and operation of the camera will be initiated using a REVO America keyboard
controller. This is the ideal setup and offers the greatest flexibility and ease of operation. However,
a REVO America DVR may also be used to control the camera, as well as non REVO America
keyboard controllers or DVRs, which may be used providing you set the protocols correctly using
the User manual. See the Settings section in that manual. If using another device, refer to the
applicable user manual to determine the equivalent command keys.
Access the camera menu as follows:
1. Log into keyboard controller by entering the administrator’s password. On the REVO
America keyboard controller, the default password is: 9999.
2. Select camera by pressing the camera number, for example 1, and then the CAM key on
the keyboard controller.
3. Press the MENU key on the keyboard controller. The DOME MENU displays.

The Advanced Features on the Dome Menu
Auto Scan
Enables you to set a programmed scan of an area such as a room. You can set
the camera to start in one location and move to another location and then back
to the starting location at a preconfigured speed. Up to 16 different Auto Scans
may be configured.
Preset
Enables you to create presets, which are programmed video scenes, based on
specific pan, tilt, zoom, and focus settings. For example, one preset may be a
close up view of the back door, while another may be a window in the same
room. Think of a preset as if you had a camera in your hand and were taking
photos of various objects in a room. Up to 240 Presets may be programmed for
this camera.
Tour
Pattern
This menu provides the options for creating tours, which are a programmed
sequence of Presets, Auto Scans, Patterns and even other Tours. Up to 8 tours
may be programmed.
A Pattern is a user defined set of camera movements. Think of it as a recorder
that records the movements you make with the camera. You can move the
camera by panning, tilting and zooming to create the sequence that you want to
monitor and then save it. This menu enables you to create and save Patterns.
Up to 8 patterns may be created.
Alarm
This menu manages input alarms, which will trigger camera action and output
alarms, which may be used to trigger an audio or visual alarm indication.
Area Title
Privacy Zone
A user defined name for a specific area that the camera views that has a
specific pan and tilt range. This menu guides you through the process of
defining and naming the area.
Privacy Zones are user defined areas that are blocked from viewing by the
camera. For example, if you have an outdoor camera that has a tour set up and
it pans across a neighbor’s yard, to avoid problems, you may want to block the
view when the camera passes by the neighbor. This menu allows you to define
a privacy area.
Titling
Many of the features provide the ability to create titles that appear on the monitor when the
camera reaches a specific position, or to label an Auto Scan, Preset, Tour, etc. Rather than

REVO America www.revoamerica.com RELPTZ22-3

describe the procedure to create a title in every description, the instructions are provided here.
The titling procedures are the same for all functions. The amount of characters allowed for titles
do change depending upon the function. Maximum characters allowed are noted in each
description. Note that Presets must be created before you create the title.
To create a title, proceed as follows:

3. Press the CTRL key to select the character.
4. Continue selection until you have created the title.
5. Select EXIT with the joystick and move to the right or left to exit the menu or press ESC on
the keyboard controller.
To delete the title and create a new one, select ALL DELETE and move the joystick right or left.
Home Function
Another function that you will use often with the Advanced Features is the Home Function. The
Home Function defines the camera’s normal operation when left unattended. The Home Function,
once programmed, will return the camera to its normal or programmed operation after manual
control of the camera has stopped. For example, if you are using the keyboard controller or DVR
to manually zoom, pan or tilt the camera to view something of interest, setting the Home Function
to one of the functions will program the camera to automatically begin one of the following:
None/Tour/Auto Scan/Preset, after a user defined waiting time.

Setting Camera Addresses for Large Systems
Each camera requires a unique camera address so that the control device knows which camera is
at your back door and which camera is monitoring your driveway. Think of the camera address as
a telephone number. In order for the video system to work with multiple cameras, it has to know
which one is which. In the User manual, instructions were provided for setting up to 8 cameras.
However, the camera is capable of expansion up to 255 cameras. This will require the use of
multiplexers. When installing multiple dome cameras using a multiplexer, it is suggested that the
dome camera address match the multiplexer port number.
Example: Port 1 = Dome 1, Port 2 = Dome 2 …Port 16 = Dome 16. If more than 16 dome
cameras are installed using two or more multiplexers, the ID of the dome camera should be ID of
MUX x No. of camera IN. (e.g. multiplexer ID= n, Camera IN= m then ID of Dome =16x(n-1)+m )
DIP switch S1is used to set the camera address. Apply the settings for each camera in your video
system as shown in the following table.
NOTE
This is an important step. If you do not set the camera addresses correctly, there will be
communication errors.
