Using Vicon PTZ Dome Cameras Using the V1411X-DVC with a S2000 or S1000 or SVFT dome Basic Features: When using the V1411X-DVC to program and control a dome camera, you will be using the buttons (keys) on the keyboard (V1411X-DVC) for the most part, occasionally the Joystick, and often referring to the green LED screen at the top of the keyboard to check what you are doing. Enter Programming Mode: before a preset, schedule or tour can be programmed into the camera with the Keyboard, the following steps need to be taken: 1. Make sure you have selected the camera on the Keyboard that you want to work on. If that is Camera 1, then press the “1” button followed by the CAM button. The top of the LED screen on the keyboard should say Cam 1. 2. Next, press and hold the PROG key and then the “2” key. Release both keys simultaneously. If you look at the LED screen, there should now be a flashing “P” in the bottom right corner. This means you are now in PROGRAMMING MODE. 3. Proceed to make whatever programming you need to do (see further below) Exiting Programming Mode: after any programming has been done to a Dome camera through the keyboard, the PROGRAMMING MODE has to be successfully exited before the camera can be commanded to perform the programmed actions. This is done by: 1. Make sure you have exited the menu by pressing the A/I button until the menu display disappears. 2. Press and hold the PROG key, and then press the “1” key. Release both keys together. This should exit you from PROGRAMMING MODE. You may verify this by checking the LED screen on the keyboard and making sure that the flashing “P” is no longer in the bottom right corner of the display. For the following directions of programming Presets, Tours, and Autotours, a shortcut method is described which bypasses the main menu and streamlines the process. Programming a Preset: A Preset is a position you can program into a Dome camera so that it memorizes the position and can be told to go to there in the future. To program a Preset (for example Preset 5), you would do the following: 1. Ensure you are in PROGRAMMING MODE and that you have the right camera selected. This is done by following the steps outlined further above.

2. Next, with the joystick, move the camera to the position you want and zoom it in so you have the position you want to have the camera memorize. 3. Then, press the PRESET key, then the 5 key, then the PRESET key again. Do not hold any of the keys down or press any simultaneously. You press each key separately. This has now programmed into memory the location for Preset 5. 4. Now exit the programming mode. Programming a Tour: A tour is a series of fixed presets all strung together and saved as one program. Several presets can be programmed into the memory together, and then when the tour is recalled, the dome camera will go through all the various preset locations programmed into the tour (this is very similar to the Autotour below). What you do not control precisely is how the camera moves from preset to preset (you can control the speed, but not the direction or path it takes to go between presets because it simply takes the most direct path – to do that, you need the Autotour). There are two Tours available per S1000 or S2000 camera to be programmed. The first goes to Preset 80 and the second in Preset 81. These two Preset numbers are reserved for Tours only. To program Tour 80, you would do the following: 1. Ensure you are in PROGRAMMING MODE and that you have the right camera selected. This is done by following the steps outlined further above. 2. Then, press the PRESET key, then the ‘8’ key followed by the ‘0’ key (i.e. to make ‘80’), then the PRESET key again. Press each key separately and NOT simultaneously. On the screen should now be the menu to programming a Tour. 3. By moving the arrow cursor up and down with the joystick, go to the line for TOUR #, and then select the Tour # you want (it should go directly to Tour 80 due to step 2 above). You do this by moving the joystick left (to decrease the #) or right (to increase #). 4. Select STEP 1 by moving down to it and pressing the A/P key. This takes you to a sub-menu where you program in the details for Step 1 of the Tour. 5. At ACTION, move the joystick right to select the appropriate option (most likely a Preset, but there are other options). Note if you select a Preset as an Action, you need to ensure that you have already programmed in that Preset into the camera. 6. Next, go down to the next line (PRESET TO EXEC) to assign which Preset # will be for this step. 7. Next, on the line below set the SPEED that you want the camera to move to this Step (from 1-9, with 1 being the fastest). 8. If all this is correct, press the A/P key to agree and program this STEP into memory. 9. Now, go and program as many Steps as you need (by repeating the programming actions 4 to 8 above) and how long you want the camera to DWELL before it moves to the next step (Dwell is the number of seconds the camera will pause before going between steps). 10. As the final STEP, you can make the ACTION to be Repeat Tour, which will program the camera to repeat all steps again once it ends. This is optional.

11. To exit the menu, press the A/I key until the menu disappears. Tour 80 has now been programmed and can be recalled. 12. Now, exit the programming mode. Programming an Autotour: (This option is not available on S1000 cameras) An Autotour is similar to a basic Tour except that you have more programming options – essentially, you program into the dome camera’s memory every move you make with the joystick, and it repeats those precise movements when recalled (this makes the Autotour versatile because the camera will remember to go everywhere you move the camera while programming, but also makes the Autotour difficult to get perfect because every little mistake you make while programming the camera is repeated as well). There are two Autotours per S2000 dome camera that can be programmed. The first goes to Preset 88 and the second in Preset 89. These two Presets are reserved for Autotours in an S2000 dome camera. To program an Autotour (in this case, Preset 88), do the following: 1. Ensure you are in PROGRAMMING MODE and that you have the right camera selected. This is done by following the steps outlined further above. 2. Next, with the joystick, move the camera to the position you want to begin the Autotour from (your starting point). 3. Then, press the PRESET key, then the ‘8’ key twice (i.e. to make ‘88’), then the PRESET key again. Do not hold any of the keys down or press any simultaneously. You press each key separately. The screen should say it is ready to begin programming in the Autotour. 4. To begin programming the tour, press the AUX key and the ‘1’ key simultaneously. Every movement with the joystick and ‘zoom in’ and ‘zoom out’ keys NOW will be recorded – if you don’t move the camera, it will record that too (so don’t let it sit too long unless that’s what you want the camera to actually do). 5. With the joystick and zoom keys, move the camera in the pattern that you want it to repeat. 6. When done, press the AUX and 1 key simultaneously again. 7. If you like the pattern, press the A/P to accept it. If you don’t like it, press the A/I key to erase it. Then follow the prompts to exit the menu. 8. Lastly, exit the programming mode.

Recalling a Preset: this same procedure can be done for Presets, Tours and Autotours that have been programmed into the dome camera. For example, we will emulate recalling Preset 6: 1. First, make sure you are NOT in PROGRAMMING MODE by ensuring that there is no flashing “P” in the bottom right corner of the keyboards LED screen. 2. Now, press and release the PRESET key, then the “6” key, and then the PRESET key again. The camera should now move to that programmed preset position.

Advanced Features: There are many options to consider in the menu, but to limit the scope of this paper, we will refrain from looking at most and stick to the option most likely required: Scheduling. Menu Display: Each camera has its own individual menu. Going into the menu for a camera allows you access to a large number of options for programming the camera unit, going far beyond the basic shortcuts listed above. If you wish to access the menu for a specific camera, follow the instructions above for first entering Programming Mode, then perform the following: 1. Press the PRESET key, then ‘94’ (i.e. the ‘9’ key, then the ‘4’ key, not simultaneously), followed by the PRESET key again (a total of 4 keystrokes). After doing this, a menu will appear with about 9 or 10 lines of options. Use the joystick to move up or down the option list, and use the A/P key to accept a selection, and A/I to exit the menu. Once you exit the menu, remember to exit the Programming Mode too.

Scheduling: (This option is not available on S1000 cameras) Essentially, this is programming the Dome camera to do or begin a specific function at a pre-determined time. This can be done for Presets, Tours, and Autotours. Combinations of the three can be made too. For example, you can program a Dome camera to do a Tour from 7am to 11:30am, then to go and stay at a Preset from 11:31am to 12:15pm, and then start an Autotour at 12:16pm until 7am the next morning (at which point the cycle will repeat itself again). 1. Make sure you are in PROGRAMMING MODE and on the right camera. 2. Enter the menu mode by selecting Preset 94 (see above) 3. With the joystick, scroll down to where it says SCHEDULER/TIME OF DAY and press A/P to accept this option 4. On the next menu list that appears, select the option PROGRAM TIMED EVENTS by scrolling to it and pressing the A/P key 5. This now gets you into the Scheduling Program for the camera. To scroll through the parameters you can change (see below) use the up/down movement of the joystick. To select a parameter to change, move the joystick left (to decrease the value) or right (to increase the value). Through the selection of the appropriate parameters, you can now tell the camera to do specific functions at very specific times of the day. Please note that these functions are based off the internal clock of the camera, which you can alter. The parameters to consider are as follows: EVENT #: (i.e. 1, 2, 3, etc…) By selecting the EVENT #, you are telling the camera “this is the first (or second, etc…) scheduled event I want you to do”. Event #1 would be the first thing the dome does. Event #2 would be the second

thing you program it to do. And so on. You can program several different events for each camera. Next, you will go on to tell it exactly what you want it to do (EVENT TYPE and PATTERN #) and when you want it to do it (TIME, SCHEDULE, and DAY OF WEEK) by defining the rest of the parameters. EVENT TYPE: this is where you tell the camera what you want it to do for this event, and it can be either a Preset, Tour, Autotour, etc… PATTERN #: (i.e. 1, 2… 80… 88, 89, etc…) Assign the Preset or Tour number you what it to do for this event. That is, if the Event Type is an Autotour, then your options here would be 88 or 89 (and it would do Autotour 88 or 89). TIME: assign the time you want this event to begin SCHEDULE: Assign the frequency that you want the event to occur DAY OF WEEK: Selecting what day of the week you want this Scheduled Event Here is an example of a Scheduled event: EVENT #: EVENT TYPE: PATTERN #: TIME: SCHEDULE: DAY OF WEEK:

1 Autotour 88 12:30 AM Weekly Daily

This is telling the camera to begin the Autotour 88 at 12:30 AM as Event #1, and to do it every week, and on a daily basis (that is, every day). The camera will now do this Scheduled Event and only stop this action if another event is programmed into it (i.e. Event #2 at 1:00 PM) to do something different.

There are several other options for the dome cameras under the Menu, but for the moment, what has been described here should suffice. Any further, you may contact us for additional training and we will try to accommodate you as best as possible.
