is an ideal solution for monitoring a large area – a combination of a quality Sony
CCD image sensor mounted in a contained dome with the option to pan fully
360º. Nothing will be out of sight for long!
Whether you wish to do this using the full complement of manual controls, or
program a detailed surveillance program for the camera to run, the PRO-650 gives
you all the options you need to simply and effectively monitor a large range of
locations without the hassle of multiple cameras.
The PRO-650 features an included fully functional PTZ controller, great low-light
performance and a 3x optical zoom – great for getting up close to what you want
to see. All this comes mounted in a simple but elegant 4” dome.

The PRO-650 PTZ Dome features automatic focus and exposure adjustment.
As a result, you will not need to use these buttons whilst operating the PRO-
650. They’ve been included on the remote so that the controller can be used
for multiple PTZ systems (including ones without automatic focus and exposure
adjustment) if you choose.
ARROWS
Used to move the camera.
SHOT
Readies the controller to accept a numerical
value for a Preset Position, noted on the display
by the letter “P”.
CAM
Readies the controller to accept a new
Command Address (use numerical buttons to
enter a new value).
ENTER
Confirms a selection. Whilst the camera is
moving, ENTER will hold it still.
SPEED
Adjusts the speed at which the camera moves.
Higher numbers represent faster speeds.
AUTO
Toggles Auto-scan Mode on and off. Whilst in
Auto-scan Mode, the camera will continually
move as it attempts to sweep the entire field
of view as efficiently as it can.

1. Connecting the Camera Cable
Before mounting the camera, it is
important to connect it correctly.
Run the cable through the mounting1.
arm or bracket you would like to
use.
Make sure you run the cable2.
through starting with the camera
end (not the end with the BNC
connectors - they’re too big to fit).
Once the cable has been pulled3.
through, plug it into the top of the
camera.
If you’re planning to mount the4.
dome outside, cover the screw
threads with a silicon sealant before
screwing the unit together. Failing
to do so will compromise the
waterproofing of the dome.
Then, screw the mounting arm/5.
bracket onto the dome.
Be careful not to damage the connectors
on the end of the cable or to the camera,
particularly when unplugging the
camera, as the connectors are fragile!
3. Connecting the RS485 Cables
Remove the RS485 plug from the back of1.
the PTZ controller.
Insert the WHITE wire into the -B side of2.
the RS485 plug, and screw into place.
Insert the PURPLE wire into the +A side of3.
the RS485 plug, and screw into place.
Plug the RS485 plug into the RS485 port4.
on the back of the PTZ controller.
Note: If you need a longer cable to reach
the location you’d like to put the PTZ
controller, the RS485 cable can be extended.
If you are unfamiliar with cable construction
and maintenance, we suggest getting a
professional to do this.

101010
NOTE: Before you begin, be sure that there are no live electrical cables in the area
you wish to mount the camera.
To mount the camera:
After connecting the camera as described on page 8 and installing the cables as
shown on page 9, place it in the desired location. Then, using an appropriate screw
for the surface you’re fixing the dome to, screw the arm/bracket into place.
Ensure you have enough cable coming through the mounting arm/bracket to
connect it to your system. If you want to run the cables through a wall/ceiling, be
sure to drill a hole for the cable as well.
Placement Tips
For best results, carefully consider where you want to mount the dome. Whilst the
optimal placement solution will vary form application to application depending
on intent of installation, the environment of use and the lighting conditions
encountered there, there are a few points which are almost universal.
What you want to monitor:
The most obvious factor to consider when planning where to install your camera is
the question of what you wish to monitor, and how a movable PTZ system can be
incorporated into your specific environment.
Ensure that the camera is located close enough to what you want to monitor•
to capture the required details. For example, if you wish to capture the details
of a face, the camera should be located within a dozen feet (about 4m) of
the subject. This is also true if trying to read printed information - such as a
vehicle’s registration plate.
Try to place the camera in an position that a potential security threat will find•
it difficult to avoid.
A strategy which is often effective is to monitor entrances and exits - after all,•
a security threat has to get in somewhere.
