1. INTRODUCTION
The auto-focus camera is a compact CCTV camera designed for easy integration into surveillance
systems. The Camera's built-in 22x Optical zoom lens spells added user convenience since there
is no need for separate adjustment of the focal distance. Current applications include highway
traffic control, plus security surveillance in such locations as elevators and parking lots.
The advanced DSP technology allows intelligent control for clearer, detailed pictures.
Additionally, the user can perform remote Zoom/ Focus/ Iris/ White Balance operations via either
RS-422/RS-485 or RS-232 (optional) interface. In combination with a highly sensitive 1/4“ CCD
sensor, these features make the auto-focus camera is particularly suitable for surveillance.
•Built-in Optical Zoom Lens - The built-in 22x optical zoom lens is highly reliable and offers
auto focus and auto iris functions. Users can monitor a scene from any desired angle of view.
•High Resolution - The chassis is equipped with a high sensitivity, high-resolution 1/4“ CCD
pickup featuring approximately 380,000 effective pixels. Thanks to a high 450 TV lines
horizontal resolution, picked-up images are reproduced with detail and clarity.
•Setup Menu Function via Keys
Pushing keys on the rear panel of the camera can set each setup menu function. Setup menu
functions are displayed on screen display (OSD).
•Camera Control via either RS-422/RS-485 or RS-232 (optional) interface
Camera control can adjust the camera's zoom, focus, Iris and white balance via either
RS-422/RS-485 or RS-232 (optional) interface.
•Built-in Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) Protocols
The camera automatically recognizes four protocols, such as native protocol, PELCO (D and
P protocol) and LG protocol. Camera parameters can easily be setup via native keyboard
(RS-485) or PELCO keyboard (RS-422).
