SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION

SECTION 1

Introduction

The ALIBI™ HD-TVI outdoor PTZ IR camera enables you to pan, tilt and zoom in on suspicious activity and capture high denition

video of wide areas such as parking lots, shopping malls and sports facilities. It features a 1/3” CMOS image sensor, 30x optical

zoom, 16x digital zoom and delivers 1080p high denition video. The camera is also equipped with enhanced imaging features such

as digital wide dynamic range (D-WDR) and 3D digital noise reduction (3D-DNR) to reduce video noise, as well as true day/night

(ICR) to capture sharp detailed images in both daytime and low-light nighttime conditions. The camera features:

• 2 MP CMOS Image Sensor

• 1080p HD-TVI Video Output

• 393 ft IR range

• 30x optical zoom, 16X digital zoom

• Supports up the coax (UTC) controller

• Privacy Masking, 3D-DNR, D-WDR, EIS

• 3D intelligent positioning

• True Day&Night

1.1 Features

OSD (on-screen display)

The on-screen display is a text image superimposed on video. The text displays status information and conguration menus.

Self-adaptive Protocol

The speed dome is self-adaptive to PELCO-D, PELCO-P, AD Manchester and private protocols.

Keyboard Control

The pan/tilt movement and zoom actions of camera can be controlled by the control keyboard, DVR, matrix, etc.

Limit Stops

The dome can be programmed to move within the limit stops (left/right, up/down) which are congurable by the control keyboard,

DVR or client application software.

Scan Modes

The dome provides 5 scanning modes: pan scanning, tilt scanning, frame scanning, random scanning and panorama scanning.

2

Preset Freezing

This feature freezes the scene on the monitor when moving to a preset. This allows for smooth transition from one preset scene to

another and also guarantees that masked areas will not be revealed when moving to a preset.

Presets

Each of the user-denable presets can be programmed to use pan, tilt, camera settings and other settings. When a preset is called,

the dome will automatically move to the dened position. The user can add, modify, delete and call each preset.

Label Display

The on-screen label of the preset title, PT display, zoom, and time can be displayed on the monitor.

Auto Flip

In manual tracking mode, when a target object moves directly beneath the dome, the dome will automatically rotate 180 degrees

in the horizontal direction to maintain continuity of tracking.

Privacy Mask

The privacy mask allows the user to dene areas of the eld of view that cannot be seen by the operator of the camera. A masked

area will move with pan and tilt functions and automatically adjust in size when the lens zoom changes.

3D Positioning

The camera can be controlled with a mouse and the PRIVATE-Code protocol. Clicking a spot can direct the camera position the spot

in the center of the image. When a rectangular area is selected with the left mouse button, the camera will move to its center and

enlarge it. Right click the mouse to zoom in. The scroll wheel can control lens zoom. Mouse cursor movement can also control zoom

eects.

Proportional Pan/Tilt

Proportional pan/tilt automatically reduces or increases the pan and tilt speeds in proportion to the amount of zoom. At telephoto

zoom settings, the pan and tilt speeds are slower than at wide zoom settings. This keeps the image from moving too fast on the

monitor when there is a large amount of zoom.

Auto Focus

Auto focus enables the camera to focus automatically to maintain clear video images.

Day/Night Auto-switch

The camera provides color images during the day. As light diminishes at night, it switches to night mode and delivers black and

white images with high quality.

SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION

3HD-TVI 30x Zoom PTZ IR Outdoor Camera User Manual

Slow Shutter

Slow shutter function extends the exposure time to accumulate more light when the light condition is low, resulting in a brighter

image.

Backlight Compensation (BLC)

Back Light Compensation ensures proper exposure of subjects in the foreground. Back light compensation adjusts the camera’s

exposure in challenging lighting environments such as hallways and doorways, so the entire image of the subject in the foreground

is properly exposed when there is a bright light source behind the subject.

Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)

This feature enables the camera to produce clearer images in less than ideal lighting conditions. WDR balances the contrast of light

and shadow to improve visibility in dark areas within a scene.

White Balance

White balance is the white rendition function of the camera to automatically adjust the color temperature according to the

environment. It can remove the unrealistic color casts in the image.

Patrol

The camera provides up to 8 patrols. In each patrol, you can specify the scanning track by a group of user-dened presets, with the

scanning speed between two presets and the dwell time at the preset separately programmable.

Pattern

A pattern is a memorized, repeating series of pan, tilt, zoom, and preset functions that can be recalled with a command from

a controller or automatically by a congured function. By default the focus and iris are in auto status during the preset is being

memorized.

Power-o Memory

This feature causes the camera to resume its previous position or status after power is restored.

Time Task

A time task is a precongured action that can be performed automatically at a specic date and time. The programmable actions

include: preset 1-8, pattern 1-4, patrol 1-4, pan scan, tilt scan, random scan, frame scan, panorama scan, day/night mode or none.

Park Action

This feature allows the dome to start a predened action automatically after a period of inactivity.

Installation

Before you start, check the package contents and make sure that the device in the package is in good condition and all the assembly

parts are included. Included are:

• 24 Vac power supply

• Installation guide (this user manual)

Mounting brackets are sold separately.

2.1 Setup the camera address and baud rate DIP switches

DIP switches inside the camera are used to manually congure the RS-485 device address and network baud rate. The device

address and baud rate can also be congured remotely through the OSD (on-screen display) using a control console, DVR or DVS.

See “SECTION 4 Conguring the PTZ Camera” on page 19 for more information.

NOTE

If you are installing several RS-485 network devices at the same time, manually setting the DIP switches for address and

baud rate will help reduce connectivity issues during the initial setup of those devices.

There are two DIP switch groups, SW1 switches 1 .. 8 (sets the RS-485 network address) and SW2 switches 1 and 2 (sets the

RS-485 network baud rate). The address setup for the camera must be unique for each device on the RS-485 network. However,

the baud rate switched must be congured to the same baud rate used by the other devices on the network. These switches are

accessible when the “SWITCH” cover is removed. To setup the DIP switches, do the following:

1. While viewing the camera from the underside, remove the plate marked “SWITCH”.

SW1: 1 .. 8

SW2: 1 .. 8

DIP switch cover
