Switching for Two Zones - Expandable to Four
The VC-1000 Programmable CCTV Camera
Controller consists of two telco interface modules
each linked to a CCTV camera input and a com-
biner for output to a video monitor, television or
VCR.
Unlike passive or manual CCTV camera switch-
ers, the VC-1000 continuously monitors for activi-
ty on its telco line circuits and instantly switches to
the appropriate camera when activity is detected.

During periods of inactivity, the VC-1000 can be programmed to provide no video out-
put, output camera 1, output the last camera activated, or output the cameras sequen-
tially. Two VC-1000’s can be stacked to cover four zones. Programming is done easi-
ly using dip switches.

3. Home Application - Automatic Switched Input
Wire video signal to an inexpensive RF modulator (Radio Shack # 15-1214 or equivalent) that automatically switches from
VCR/satellite to CCTV video when a signal is present. Note: For this application the TV must remain on channel 3 or 4. Set up
the VCR and satellite receiver to send the signal out on channel 3 or 4 and use the VCR’s tuner to select local broadcast sta-
tions.
?Recommended RF Modulator:
Radio Shack #15-1214

Use DIP switches 1 and 2 to assign video camera 1 and video cam-
era 2 in use, and off if not installed. The ability to turn off a camera
position not being used will prevent the controller from sequencing
in an unused camera position (see Programming section B).
Due to the dynamic nature of the product design, the information contained in this document is subject to change without notice. Viking Electronics, and its affiliates and/or
subsidiaries assume no responsibility for errors and omissions contained in this information. Revisions of this document or new editions of it may be issued to incorporate

B. Inactive Modes
DIP switches 3 and 4 are used to program what the VC-1000 does when all telco lines are inactive (not ringing or in-use). If “output
camera 1” mode is used, an additional VC-1000 ganged together must be set to “cameras disconnected” mode to prevent con-
tentions. Otherwise, if two VC-1000’s are ganged together, both units must be programmed to the same inactive mode.

Sequenced Video (rotate every 4 seconds)
The VC-1000 allows multiple cameras to be concentrated down to one video signal, by switching to the camera at the zone/entry point
being used. When the VC-1000 detects ringing (voltage), off hook (loop current) of the entry phone or doorbox, or a doorbell button
pressed, it will connect that camera's video feed to the video output. This happens in a first come, first serve manner. When all telco lines
are idle (entry phones or doorboxes not in use), the VC-1000 can be programmed to do one of four operations:
1. Disconnect all cameras so there is no video output. This mode is very convenient when used in combination with a video RF
modulator, which automatically switches the video source in when a video signal is present. A home TV’s broadcast/satellite program
will be automatically interrupted to show video feed of the arriving guest (see Installation section C).
2. Connect video feed from camera 1.
3. Remain connected to the last camera active and continue feeding video from it until another camera is called into action.
4. Sequence video from all cameras connected, rotating every 4 seconds.
C. Gang Wiring
Two VC-1000’s can be wired together to
support up to 4 zones/entry points. Do this
by wiring the COM PORT SIG screw termi-
nals together and wiring the COM PORT
GND screw terminals together. The VIDEO
OUT screw terminals of both VC-1000’s can
be wired together in parallel to send video
signal to a monitor TV or video recorder.
