KEY FEATURES
Thank you for purchasing Meyertech’s ZSI-330.
Please read this user guide prior to using
this product. It will help you to achieve the maximum
benefit from the product. The manual covers
installation, operation and maintenance of a ZSI-330.
What is a ZSI-330?
A ZSI-330 is part of the ZoneVu Site Controller family. It
allows the interconnection of remote sites via an ISDN line.
The unit operates as a transmitter.
Combined with other members of the Meyertech site controller
family, an operator can seamlessly control cameras
located throughout the country.
When combined with other elements of Meyertech’s Site
Controller family, a unit can, under alarm conditions,
automatically contact a remote control room or can be part
of a seamless dial on demand service.
The features described in this manual refer to :
Version 1.2.0.0 of the ZSI-330 firmware

Features
Camera switching
The ZSI-330 supports 16 video inputs and 1 video output. The video output is shared between a single local
operator (if present) and the remote operator.
The ZSI-330 can be configured to run a sequence.
Alarm handling
The ZSI-330 supports local alarm events which can be used trigger a range of functions:
• Dialling a remote control room – to report the alarm remotely
• Reporting the alarm to a keyboard – to report the alarm locally
• Energising a local relay
• Sending a local camera to a preset
It can take as an alarm source either its own contact alarm inputs or alarm inputs via a ZoneVu receiver (or
supported 3rd party dome – see ZSI-EFD support document).
Auxiliary Outputs
The ZSI-330 supports auxiliary relay outputs which can be mapped to a range of ZoneVu commands. They
can also be controlled via alarm events.
EFD support
The ZSI-330 supports Meyertech extensive range of 3rd party EFDs (embedded firmware drivers) on the
ZVR port. Contact Meyertech Sales for details of EFD support.
Security
The ZSI-330 supports a PIN code which prevents access to the site by all but authorised equipment.

Advanced Dialup
Maximum redial delay
To avoid contention of phone lines when an outgoing call cannot be connected, a short pause is left to allow other
equipment to connect. The maximum time for this delay can be configured. Range 1 - 65535
Default = 5 seconds
Static frame rate
The maximum video frame rate can be limited to give better quality images.
When a camera is being controlled over the ISDN line this setting is automatically overridden by the Moving frame
rate. The Static frame rate is re-selected when the camera has not been moved for 3 seconds. Range 1 - 15
Default = 1
Moving frame rate
The frame rate can be automatically increased when controlling a camera remotely, to allow easier tracking of moving
objects. When the camera is not moved for 3 seconds, the Static frame rate is used instead. Range 1 - 15
Default = 15
Note on changing frame rates
ZSI-330
There is a short delay incurred when changing frame rates during a call. This leads to a pause in video updates. If this is
not desirable set the Static & Moving frame rates to the same value.
The lower the frame rate the better quality of image. The higher the frame rate the quicker the image updates.
