Surveyor HD Camera Dome
Quick Operation Guide
This manual provides a quick overview for the operation of the Surveyor®
HD Series of Camera Domes. Refer to the complete manual, XX214-0X
(installation) and XX214-4X (web browser), for complete details on
installation, setup and operating details.
The Surveyor HD is a compact network dome comprised of a
camera/lens and pan/tilt drive in an attractive covert enclosure. Surveyor
HD is sold in a variety of prepackaged configurations with choices in
environment, mounting configuration, and lower dome types.
The Surveyor HD supports high-profile H.264 or M-JPEG compression.
The dome supports ONVIF open architecture connectivity to enable
integration into third party software recording solutions, as well as Vicon’s
ViconNet.
The Surveyor HD is designed for easy installation and serviceability. The
entire drive assembly simply snaps into the housing. When removed, the
mechanism retains all programmed functions in its on-board memory.
The customer interface board snaps down for easy access and the PCB
provides removable terminal blocks for simple wiring connections. Power
to the indoor units can be provided by PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus);
outdoor units require 24 VAC. The Surveyor HD includes a high-definition
1.3 or 2.0 megapixel day/night camera with wide dynamic range (WDR)
and digital noise reduction (DNR/FNR).

Setting the DIP Switches
There are two DIP switches that must be set on the Surveyor HD. One is
on the Communications Interface (CI) board and one on the Main board.
SW1 4-position DIP switch is on the Communication Interface (CI) board.
For SW1 all poles should be set to OFF (default).
DIP Switch Location on CI Board
Caution
Changing the positions on the DIP switch on the Main board should only
be done by a qualified person. Position 1 is used only if it is necessary to
force the unit into default setup if network or system connections are lost.
Be sure to reset this switch back to the OFF position before the next
power up to avoid a constant return to defaults, resulting in not being able
to enter the camera’s IP to use the Web Browser. The camera dome is
shipped with a default static IP of 1.1.1.2.
The Main board has an 8-position DIP switch SW1. The settings for the
positions of this DIP Switch are:
Position 1 - Set Network Address. OFF = Default Position, do not
set network defaults. ON = Set k default network address (1.1.1.2);
must be reset OFF after reboot and before next power up.
Position 2 – Unused (set to OFF)
Position 3 – For factory use only. OFF is Default.
Position 4 – Unused (set to OFF)

Quick Operation Guide | 7
Position 5 – Unused (set to OFF)
Position 6 - Unused (set to OFF)
Position 7 – Set password. OFF = Default Position. ON = Reset to
default password (password); must be reset to OFF after reboot
and before next power up.
Position 8 – System Mode. OFF = Default Position, ViconNet
Mode. ON = ONVIF/NTCIP Mode.
The main board is located underneath the housing. It may be necessary
to spin the housing mechanism to see the DIP switch, located near the tilt
motor along edge of the board.
DIP Switch Location on Main Board
Communication Ports
If using NTCIP protocol, communicate to the Surveyor HD using ports
3000/UDP or 3001/TCP.
If using ONVIF, use port 8000.
