•Introduction XX100-10-01 Rev 202 Surveyor1000 Camera Dome Programming
Introduction
This manual details the programming features of the Surveyor1000, software revision 5.0.0. This manual
should be used in conjunction the Surveyor1000 Installation and Operation manual. Programming can be
performed with a keypad input device or an IBM compatible personal computer equipped with the Vicon
Surveyor2000 Direct Control software, see Instruction Manual XX031-10. All functions programmed into the
Surveyor1000 stay resident in the Dome Assembly and do not occupy any external CPU memory. In addition,
the Surveyor1000 memory can be flash upgraded with the latest software by using the Flash Upgrade
software kit, see Instruction Manual XX031-20.
NOTE: This manual was written for program revision 5.0.0 and may not accurately describe features available
in earlier revisions of the program.
Surveyor1000 is designed to be programmed using RS-422/485 or enhanced VicoaxII (superimposed data on
composite video signal) type protocol. The V1400X-DVC System Console, V1300X-DVC or V1300X-RVC
operator keypads, a NOVA(VPS) control system and a Personal Computer using ProTechConfigurator
software are all input devices using the RS-422/485 format. The V1422 (in enhanced VicoaxII mode) is an
input device using enhanced VicoaxII (superimposed data on video) format. Refer to the Surveyor1000
Installation and Operation Manual for details on configuring and operating in enhanced VicoaxII mode.
This manual is written with the intention of using an input device and the Surveyor1000s on-screen menu
system. This method uses specific key functions that are actual buttons or screen selections on these input
devices. The Direct Control software runs on an IBM compatible personal computer that uses a Graphical
User Interface (GUI) for configuration, similar to the controls described here.
Programming is done by selecting options from the on-screen menu system. Once the on-screen menu
system is accessed, programming is done using the basic controls AP (autopan), AI (autoiris), joystick and
AUX1/AUX2 functions. The following is a description of these controls:
AP: select and store parameters; go forward through the menu system.
AI: leave or exit a menu without retaining the new setting.
Joystick Left/Right: select specific program parameters.
AUX 1 and AUX 2: used for very specific menu functions detailed in the menu system.
Six functions are carried out using only keypad controls. These functions are setting autopan limits,
programming continuous rotation, selecting the autopan speed, enabling Auto-Baud Detect and setting
manual pan limits.

•Software Features XX100-10-01 Rev 202 Surveyor1000 Camera Dome Programming
Software Features
Most of the Surveyor1000 features are accessed remotely through a System Console (V1400X-DVC-3),
Keypad (V1300X-RVC rack mount or V1300X-DVC desktop) or a PC using the Surveyor2000 Direct Control
software package. To program certain features, a numeric preset is either stored or recalled. Preset functions
can represent a variety of features.
The table on the left shows preset numbers and their functions,
which are described in detail below. There are no commands
associated with certain presets. These have been reserved for
future use or advanced programming and diagnostic tools.
Preset 1-79 (Preset Positions) — When this range of preset
numbers is stored, the current position of the camera is written into
that preset memory location. When the number is recalled, the
camera moves to the stored position. This is called solving a preset.
Presets are always solved at the maximum speed, typically less
than 1 second. Camera focus is also stored as part of the preset; if
the image is out of focus when the preset is stored, it will be out of
focus when the preset is solved, even if autofocus is enabled.
When a preset is recalled, the corresponding preset title is displayed
on the screen (when preset titles have been enabled). If the operator attempts to recall a preset number that
has not been stored, the message “Preset not initialized” appears on the screen for a short period and the
camera position does not change. Pressing any command key or moving the joystick will also remove the
message.
Preset 80-83 (Tour Sequences) — A tour is a series of up to 32 events or Actions.Accessing the “Program
Tour” option will bring up an on-screen menu which allows programming of each tour event. This is described
in detail in the Preset/Tour Handling menu section. Recalling a tour initiates the sequence of events that
corresponds to that tour number. A longer sequence of actions can be prepared by chaining 2 or more tours
together.
Preset 90 (Pan/Tilt Lockout) — Storing preset 90 will disable joystick control of that dome, and the message
"Pan/Tilt Disabled" will momentarily appear on the screen. Any time the joystick is moved, the message will
reappear. To restore pan/tilt operation, preset 90 must be stored again.
This feature prevents the Camera Dome’s position from being tampered with. This allows the dome to
respond only to preset positions, eliminating the operator’s ability to manually position the dome. It also allows
a unit to be temporarily locked onto a subject for recording or monitoring specific activity. Recalling preset 90
has no effect. The Camera Dome retains its capability of zoom, focus and iris control while locked.
Preset 93 (Set Manual Pan Limits) — Storing preset 93 will bring up a series of prompts to set the left and
right manual pan limits with the AUX2 and AUX3 keys. After these are set, the physical range between these
limits is the valid range. The Camera Dome will not move outside these limits. The only exceptions are
prerecorded tours and previously stored presets.
Preset 94 (Enter Dome Menu System) — Many Surveyor1000 features are accessed through a series of
on-screen menus. These are described in the following programming menu sections and accessed by storing
preset 94. A Menu Flow Chart is included at the back of this manual to assist in maneuvering these menus.
Recalling preset 94 has no effect.

Preset 95 (Auto-Baud Detect Feature) — Storing preset 95 will enable the Surveyor1000’s Auto-Baud
Detect feature. It allows the Camera Dome to detect a new baud rate from the host controller without having
to fully reboot the Camera Dome and lose all stored configuration parameters. Symbols are used to display
the status of the detection process. The * symbol indicates that valid data at the correct baud rate has been
received, the X symbol represents a framing error has been received and the - symbol indicates that no data
has been received. Recalling preset 95 has no effect.
Preset 97 (Initiate Dome Reset) — Storing preset 97 resets all of the system software and performs the
power-on self-test. This is called a “soft reset” because no memory settings are affected. All user
programmed options such as titles and presets remain unchanged. Recalling preset 97 has no effect.
Presets 98 and 99 (Programming Left and Right Autopan Limits) — When a Surveyor1000 is selected on
a keyboard, pressing the AP (autopan) key will start the camera in motion, panning at a predetermined speed.
• To change the speed — Use the joystick to manually pan the dome at the speed you wish to select.
Press the AP key to store the closest available speed to the current pan speed in the dome. Each
dome may have its own autopan speed and pressing the autopan key will start the dome panning at
the last speed selected for that dome.
• To stop auto panning — Any other pan command will disable autopan. This includes pressing the
AP key again, panning the camera with the joystick, or recalling a preset.
• To set the autopan limits — When a continuous rotation Surveyor1000 is placed into autopan, it will
rotate in a full circle until autopan is disabled. Many applications, such as a wall-mounted camera on
the outside of a building, do not require continuous rotation. In these cases, limits are set to define the
left and right boundaries. Pan the camera to the leftmost position desired and store preset 98 to set
the left limit. Move the camera to the right boundary and store preset 99 to store the right limit. When
the camera is placed into autopan it will pan until it reaches a limit. It will then reverse direction until it
reaches the opposite limit, repeating this cycle indefinitely.
• To clear the autopan limits — Store preset 98 (the left limit) and, without moving the camera, store
preset 99 (the right limit). By recording both limits at the same point, they will both be deleted. The
dome will now rotate continuously when placed in autopan mode until new limits are programmed.
Recalling presets 98 or 99 has no effect.

•Programming Menus XX100-10-01 Rev 202 Surveyor1000 Camera Dome Programming
Programming Menus
The Main Programming Menu is the first one seen when entering
programming mode (store preset 94). Subsequent menus, called sub-
menus are accessible from this point. When in programming mode, a
function is entered by pressing the AP (autopan) key. To back out of that
function without changes, press the AI (autoiris) key. Instructions are
available on the screen for almost all functions. Since many of the menus
available on the Surveyor1000 are similar, not all are shown here. Refer to
the Menu Flow Chart, at the end of this manual, for more details. The
selections available on this menu can be summarized as follows:
Pan/Tilt Controller — Allows the user to adjust the speed of the pan and tilt axes. Solving preset positions is
always done at full speed. This menu also controls the Zoom Scalable Pan/Tilt and Power Saver features.
Camera Controller — Permits user adjustment of the advanced camera features available on the
Surveyor1000.
Alarm Handling — Configures the Surveyor1000’s four Alarm Inputs.
Relay Driver — Adjusts and configures the Relay output for control of external devices.
Source Titling — Programs and displays the various titles available to the Surveyor1000.
NOTE: All titles are disabled from the factory and will not be displayed upon initial startup.
Preset/Tour Handling — Programs preset events into the Camera Dome. It also allows programming a
series of events or actions into a script called a Tour.
Language — Programs language format for titles and menus. Language choices are English, Spanish,
French and German. The word “Language” will continuously change between the four translated words,
Language, Idioma, Langue and Sprache, to alert an operator that this prompt is related to changing the
language. When selected at the currently flashing word, the menus will display the new language.
Install Defaults — Resets the Surveyor1000 to the factory default settings. All previously programmed titles
and settings are lost when this function is accessed.
Pan/Tilt Controller
The Pan/Tilt Controller menu allows adjustment of the mechanical
parameters of the camera. The first two selections allow the operator to
select maximum speeds from the corresponding bar graph displays. The
variable speed on the joystick will then range from zero at the center
position to the user defined maximum speed at full deflection. Pan is
continuously variable from 0.5 to 120°per second, while the tilt range is
from 0.5 to 90°per second. Note that the Pan and Tilt controls remain
variable speed across the full range of the joystick regardless of the
maximum speed setting. This feature allows the user to set the optimum
speed for each individual camera. With the Surveyor1000, the operator is
able to customize camera performance.

XX100-10-01 Rev 202 Surveyor1000 Camera Dome Programming Programming Menus •

These menu settings do not affect the camera speed when acquiring a preset
target. Presets are solved at the fastest possible speed regardless of the
maximum manual speed selected. Default setting for pan speed is 100°per
second, while tilt speed is 70°per second.
The Pan/Tilt Controller menu also allows the user to enable or disable Zoom
Scalable Pan/Tilt. When enabled, this feature adjusts the pan and tilt speed
relative to the amount of magnification provided. When the camera is zoomed
in on a subject, the speed is slowed down to compensate for the size of the
image. This allows a finer range of motion when looking at close-up subjects.
The default is disabled.
Camera Controller
The next menu, Camera Controller, takes advantage of the Digital Signal
Processor (DSP) in the camera to adjust functions traditionally relegated to
screw terminals or DIP switches.
The Surveyor1000 has one of the most technically advanced autoiris systems
on the market. When autoiris is on, the Close Iris and Open Iris buttons on a
keyboard select the optimum video level the operator wishes the camera to
maintain. This is called the Average Iris Level and adjusts the iris based on the
average intensity of the entire picture. When autoiris is turned off on the
keyboard, the Close Iris and Open Iris buttons directly regulate the lens
aperture.
Selecting the Iris Levels menu displays a sub-menu allowing the user to
choose settings for Average Iris Level and Keypad Autoiris Adjust. Average Iris
Level is described above and performs the same setting that the Iris Open and
Iris Close buttons do when the dome is in autoiris mode. The settings may be
combined to optimize each camera’s ability to react to its location. The Keypad
Autoiris Adjust feature prevents an operator from adjusting the Autoiris level
from the keypad, when disabled.
NOTE: When the Surveyor1000 is in simplex mode, manual iris control is
disabled. The Iris Open and Iris Close buttons will regulate the Average Iris
Level as described above, but the option of manually controlling the iris level
directly will not be available.

•Programming Menus XX100-10-01 Rev 202 Surveyor1000 Camera Dome Programming
Focus Mode allows the autofocus feature to be toggled on or off (default is
on). However, the most practical way to disable autofocus is to press either of
the Focus buttons on the keyboard. This will temporarily disable focus until the
camera is zoomed in or out again. When the camera is locked on a subject,
autofocus may be disabled in this manner to prevent it from “hunting” when
someone or something temporarily moves in front of the subject. Hunting
occurs when autofocus is enabled and an object moves closer into the field-of-
view, causing the focus to change from the current image to the new object.
Preset targets do not use autofocus for this reason. Therefore, if a target is
programmed out of focus, it will be out of focus each time that preset is called.
The Shutter Speed menu is used to scroll through the various speed options
on the camera’s automatic shutter (default setting is automatic). As with all
electronic shutters, higher speeds reduce light sensitivity without affecting the
optical depth of field, as opposed to an iris adjustment. The following are the
speeds:
AUTO AUTO-SS 1/4 1/8 1/15 1/30 1/60 1/125 1/250 1/500 1/725 1/1500 1/3000 1/6000 1/10000
SHUTTER SPEEDS
There is an additional mode for slow shutter operation (AUTO-SS). This mode
is used for optimizing scenes with low light conditions.
The Auto Gain Control sub-menu allows adjustment of Maximum AGC Tuning
Value, another sliding scale adjustment. This selects the relative effect of the
Automatic Gain Control (AGC). Higher settings increase light sensitivity but
boost noise as well. The lowest value of the tuning scale is AUTO.
The V Phase Adjust screen is designed to synchronize the vertical phase of
the camera (relative position in time when the camera starts to scan the image)
with other cameras in a system. When two cameras are synchronized, there is
no picture “roll” when switching from one camera to another. This adjustment is
also a sliding scale, from 0oto 360o. When set to 360o, the Camera will be
locked to an internal crystal.
The Backlight Compensation menu allows adjustment of this setting.
Backlight compensation improves the contrast of a silhouetted image when it is
overshadowed by a lighting source coming from behind it. This includes
cameras in windowed rooms such as lobby areas, where intense sunlight
coming through the window renders features on a silhouetted person
unrecognizable.

The Aperture Adjust allows the user to set the edge quality of the total
picture. The default is automatic. However, when manual is selected, the
horizontal and vertical edge clarity can be finely adjusted.
The White Balance allows the user to override the automatic color correction
feature in the Surveyor1000. To adjust the red and blue gain, white balance
mode must first be changed to Manual (default is automatic). In manual mode,
select either the Red Gain or Blue Gain menu and adjust that parameter on
the sliding scale. An adjustment for green is not provided as it remains
constant and the red and blue gains are adjusted relative to the green setting.
NOTE: The White Balance menu settings are used to adjust color information
at the camera and have no effect on monochrome cameras.
The Digital Zoom Mode screen allows the digital zoom feature on the
Surveyor1000 to be disabled (default setting is enabled). When the Zoom In
button is held, the lens magnifies the image to the limit of the 18:1 optical
zoom. Releasing the button and pressing it will enable digital magnification of
the image.
With digital zoom, the user has the effect of a 216:1 lens. Digital magnification,
however, cannot add any resolution to the picture. With each increase in the
digital magnification, the picture gets noisier and loses clarity. Disabling the
digital zoom prevents the user from going into a “digitally enhanced” mode in
applications where it is not desirable.

•Programming Menus XX100-10-01 Rev 202 Surveyor1000 Camera Dome Programming
Alarm Handling
The Alarm Input Controller menu is used to program the tremendously
flexible alarm processing features of the Surveyor1000. This device can
intelligently process and respond to alarms without the need of an external
CPU or controller. Many standalone applications can be built around the
processing capability of the Surveyor1000.
For example, a single unit could be placed in the vestibule of a building.
Using the built-in features, the following scenario is easily accomplished. A
person walks into the vestibule from the outside and a door contact on that
door triggers the Surveyor1000 to take a picture of the person. At the same
time, a relay driver completes a circuit, which locks the inner door,
preventing open egress. Once in the vestibule, a motion detector
connected to the dome senses that the person has moved over to the
intercom and turns a brighter light on in the vestibule. The dome moves
over to a shot of the intercom, allowing us to clearly see which call button
is pressed.
When the outside door is fully closed, the buzzer is enabled to allow
passage from the vestibule into the building. All activity has been taped on
an event driven VCR, also triggered by the dome. In the event that a “panic
button” is pressed, an auto-dialer could also be connected to call the
police. This illustrates how a single dome can do the work of several
systems in a standalone application.
The first option on the Alarm Input Controller menu, Enable/Disable
Input, determines whether the 4 alarms are active. These alarms may all
be turned on and off individually, useful when a single alarm is
malfunctioning or a door is propped open.
Report Enable is a function that allows the user to determine whether
local alarms are processed, and resolved, at the dome, switcher, or both.
In the example of the vestibule, if the “panic button” were connected to a
larger system, we could have it report directly to the CPU and have that
camera display on a selected monitor. Since the door opening is an
occurrence that happens all day long, we do not necessarily want the
operator to intervene each time it happens.
The Active Alarm State menu chooses whether individual alarm inputs
respond when contact closures are made or broken (in essence, normally
open or normally closed).
The Acknowledge Mode menu determines whether an alarm is
acknowledged manually by the operator or automatically after a
predetermined time (up to 60 seconds).

XX100-10-01 Rev 202 Surveyor1000 Camera Dome Programming Programming Menus •

The next two menus program what happens during an alarm event. Each
alarm is actually two events, set and reset. In many cases, we can have 4
alarm functions per dome. Set Actions occur when alarms are triggered. In
our example this occurs when the door is opened. The Reset Actions occur
when the alarm conditions are removed, in this case when the door closes
again. Since each action may be programmed individually, we can handle
many more functions than are immediately apparent.
The Set Actions menu calls up a sub-menu for each of the four alarm inputs.
The Reset Actions menu calls up an identical sub-menu for the reset actions.
Choices for action upon triggering the alarm are as follows:
• No Action — Nothing happens on this alarm action.
• Preset — Allows any one of the 79 dome presets to be called.
• Turn On AUX — Allows the Relay Driver to be turned on.
• Turn Off AUX — Allows the Relay Driver to be turned off. Please note
that a Set Action can turn on the driver, while the corresponding Reset
Action can turn off the driver.
• Tour — Activates one of the 4 preprogrammed tours. Since a tour
consists of up to 32 steps, and a tour can call other tours, by combining
tours with alarm actions, multiple actions can be triggered from a single
contact closure.
The final menu choice available on the Alarm Input Controller menu is to
Program Alarm Titles. This function and sub-menu are also available from the
Source Titling menu and will be reviewed in that section.

•Programming Menus XX100-10-01 Rev 202 Surveyor1000 Camera Dome Programming
Relay Driver
The Relay Driver menu allows selection of the relay output function. Sub-
menus here allow setup of the output type (latching or momentary) and the
Relay power-up state (on or off). Since these features are essentially
configuration functions, they will not be discussed in detail. For more
information, refer to the Surveyor1000 Menu Flow Chart and Surveyor1000
Installation & Operation Manual.
Source Titling
When Source Titling is selected from the programming menu, we enter the
Display Controller series of sub-menus. These control another powerful
feature of the Surveyor1000, the ability to overlay numerous titles on top of the
video image without the use of external devices.
By using internal titles, a camera can take advantage of descriptive text even
when in standalone operation. In addition, all advanced titling features, like
sector titling and preset titling, are available to the operator even when the
dome is connected to devices that do not normally support these features.
The All Titles menu option allows enabling or disabling of all video titles. This
is a method of globally toggling all titles on or off. The factory default is all titles
disabled.
The Title Fade Control menu option on the Display Controller menu allows
selective title fading within a programmable period of time. This permits initial
identification of the screen and eventual fading of the title until it disappears.
The maximum fade time is 99 seconds.
The next option allows us to program the Camera Title. One line of 24
characters may be dedicated to the camera title. Character selection is done
with a series of two menus, the first of which contains on-screen instructions.
Several graphics characters are also included and may be used as well.
The Preset Titles and Alarm Titles options are programmed in a similar
manner. Each preset has a title that appears on-screen after the target is
acquired and disappears when any key is pressed on the keyboard controller
(including operation of the joystick).

XX100-10-01 Rev 202 Surveyor1000 Camera Dome Programming Programming Menus •

The Enable Title Text menu functions similarly to the All Titles option. This
allows the user to individually turn off any of the titling functions, including
Camera Title, Alarm Titles, Preset Titles, and Sector Titles.Two status titles,
AUX Function Status and Lens Status provide on-screen displays of the
status of those sub-systems.
Another menu, Configure Text Layout, allows the user to modify the screen
location and length of each title. This placement allows the titles to be moved
to a position where they will not obstruct significant or essential portions of the
video image.
The next menu allows us to Adjust Frame. This function moves the on-screen
titling frame around the picture to compensate for monitors that display the
image improperly.
The Text Size menu allows selection of the title characters size. The default
value is half and full is selectable, which increases the character size by about
double.
The Install Defaults option restores all camera titles and characteristics to
their default settings. Coordinates for horizontal and vertical position are
displayed on the screen to simplify uniform placement of multiple
Surveyor1000s.
It is important to realize the power behind setting titles on a camera-by-camera
basis. Regardless of the system size, it is rarely desirable for the title to appear
on the same portion of the screen. Not all cameras require the same
information, and an essential feature in one location becomes a drawback in
another.

Preset/Tour Handler
The Preset/Tour Handler function manages the 79 presets and 4 tours
resident in the Surveyor1000. Tours are available on any keypad.
The first sub-menu in the Preset/Tour Handler allows selecting options to
Program Presets. Once the Preset Number is selected (1-79), these include:
• Program Preset Position — This option writes the current camera
position into the selected preset number’s memory. This is usually
performed by calling the preset while the keyboard is in Program mode.
• Program Preset Title — This option brings up the same menu as
shown in the Display Controller subsection.
• Clear Preset — Clears the preset memory location.
• Clear ALL Presets — Clears all preset memory locations.
When a preset location is called from the keyboard, the words “Preset Not
Initialized”appear overlaid upon the video image if there is no preset position
associated with that memory location. The camera does not move.
The Program Auto Home allows configuration of the auto home function. The
dome can be set to automatically go to a programmed preset number location
after a programmed time duration of no activity on the dome has occurred. In
addition, the dome can be set to go to its home position upon power-up.
The Program Tours menu offers a similar array of options. Once a tour (80-
83) is selected, Clear Tour and Clear All Tours function the same as their
preset counterparts.
Each tour is a series of up to 32 events or Actions.Each tour action is
programmed independently, and steps can be inserted or deleted by pressing
the AUX1 or AUX2 keys. Tour actions include:
• Preset — Calls a selected preset. The preset can be programmed for
its calling speed (1 to 10 with 10 fastest).
• AUX On — Allows the Relay to be turned on.
• AUX Off— Allows the Relay to be turned off.
• Call Tour — This calls another tour. Once the called tour is completed,
control is returned to the calling tour.
• Dwell — Inserts a “wait” cycle, from 1 to 99 seconds, between actions.
• Acknowledge Alarm — Acknowledges and resets the current (first-in,
first-out) alarm action.
• Repeat Tour — Goes back to the beginning of the tour and starts over
again, creating a programming “loop.”
• No Action — A tour event with no action. When complete, this event
transitions smoothly to the next programmed event.
• Save Status — Typically used at the beginning of a tour, this step will
save the current camera position and function, including autopan. This
would be used with the next option.
• Recall Status — Returns the camera back to where it was when the
Save Status command was issued. This is typically used at the end of
a tour to restore the camera to where it was before the tour began.
