System Overview
The AD32 System is an economical video security
management system. This matrix-switched CCTV
(closed circuit television) surveillance system is capable
of controlling up to 32 video inputs (SpeedDome
cameras) and up to five video outputs (video
monitors/VCRs). The system’s operator uses video
control stations (Enhanced T
OUCH TRACKER controllers
to program and control the cameras. Only SpeedDome-
type cameras can be programmed.
The AD32 System (Figure 1-1) consists of a Video
Matrix Switcher (VMS), 1 to 5 video monitors/VCRs, 1
to 32 video cameras, and 1 or 2 T
OUCH TRACKER
controllers. Each SpeedDome provides four alarm inputs
and four switched outputs. The AD32 VMS provides
video switching, 8 alarm inputs, 1 relay output, text-
overlaid camera titles, and timed events. SensorNet, a 2-
wire communications protocol, provides the data path
for passing control information between the system
components. This information originates at the T
OUCH
TRACKER controllers, passes through the EIMs, and
along the SensorNet cable to the attached domes, J-
boxes, and VMS. Video data from each dome connects
directly to the VMS via a dedicated coaxial cable.
The user operates the AD32 System through the primary
or optional secondary T
OUCH TRACKER controller. The
controllers provide the user interface, control logic, and
dome buffer storage. The primary T
OUCH TRACKER is
responsible for SensorNet polling and alarm processing.
Both T
OUCH TRACKERs connect to the VMS through its
RS232 ports.

System Components
This section describes the major components of the
AD32 System.
SpeedDome and SpeedDome Ultra
The SpeedDome and SpeedDome Ultra camera domes
are part of a programmable camera network. These
devices let security personnel remotely track a target,
near or far, even in low light. The domes, which are
small and unobtrusive, are designed for use in retail
stores, casinos, manufacturing facilities, hotels,
hospitals, and locations where appearance is important.
Video Matrix Switcher
The Video Matrix Switcher (VMS) provides switching
of all cameras to all monitors. The heart of the system is
a full cross-point video matrix switch. Switching is
performed in response to operator requests from the
T
OUCH TRACKER controllers or by automatic action by
preprogrammed sequences, alarms, or timed events. The
VMS also provides the system’s time and date clock, an
event timer, and stores the camera title text.
External Interconnect Module (EIM)
This is an interconnect junction that lets the TOUCH
TRACKER controllers operate from a single cable. The
EIM’s DB9 connector provides a standard RS232
connection to the VMS.
Video Monitor
The system supports up to five monochrome or color
monitors.
Enhanced TOUCH TRACKER Controller
The Enhanced TOUCH TRACKER Controller (Figure 1-2)
is the main input control interface for the AD32 System.
The T
OUCH TRACKER receives input from the operator
through its keypad, Tracker Ball, and zoom and focus
buttons. Each T
OUCH TRACKER provides audio-visual
outputs such as beeps and messages. The messages are
displayed on the T
OUCH TRACKER’s LCD screen.
The Tracker Ball provides variable speed control of a
camera’s pan and tilt.
Zoom and focus buttons let you control a camera’s zoom
and focus.
The keypad lets you select video from individual
cameras and control their pre-programmed movement. It
also provides iris control, auxiliary control, monitor
selection, and clear alarms.
The LCD screen displays status information, the
selected camera and monitor numbers, numbers entered
from the keypad, and system prompts and messages.

Introduction
This chapter describes how to install and configure the
AD32 System.
The design team determines the SensorNet network
topology (daisy-chain, backbone, or star) and how
devices will attach to the network. These decisions
determine the SensorNet data cable routing between the
SensorNet devices and the AD32 Video Matrix
Switcher (VMS), and which devices require
termination. One- and six-position SensorNet J-Boxes
(if required) are available, providing power for one or
six domes, respectively. Additional domes can be
attached to either model, but each dome must be
externally powered.

INSTALLATION
AD32 SYSTEM

Planning the Installation
After completing the system design and ordering the
required components, your first step in installing a
AD32 System is to develop a detailed system layout.
This results in a marked-up facility floor plan showing
the precise locations of all domes and cameras,
monitors, VCRs, T
OUCH TRACKER controllers, and the
AD32 VMS.
After you have a count of the number of devices that
will be attached, you need to design the SensorNet
network. See the sections SensorNet Network Design
Guidelines and Designing the SensorNet Network.
After completing the network design, mark on the floor
plan the location of all J-Boxes (if required) and show
cable routing to connect cameras, domes, J-Boxes, and
AD32 System components. When you complete the
floor plan, tour the facility again to note any special
considerations, such as plenum ceilings, fire walls,
physical barriers, etc. that could affect component
placement, cable routing, or other installation activities.
To provide flexibility for future dome expansion,
leave one connector unused in each J-Box.
After deciding on component placement and cable
routing, measure and order the required cables. If
schedules permit, order cables to arrive one to two
weeks before the AD32 System components, so you can
run them before the AD32 installation.
You can order pre-cut cables for most
requirements. Always use this capability instead of
cutting bulk cable to length at the customer's site.
For guidance on measuring, specifying, and
ordering cables, see the SensorVision Cable Survey
and Ordering Instructions (8000-1526-01).
Also specify the electrical service requirements and
recommend its installation be completed before delivery
of the AD32 System components. Here are some
general planning guidelines.
1. Each J-Box requires an electrical outlet.
2. SpeedDome and SpeedDome Ultra can receive
power through the composite cable from the J-Box.
If not connected to a J-Box, each dome requires a
transformer or a power cable from a central source.
3. Each fixed camera requires electrical power. This
can be supplied by a local transformer or by a
power cable from a central source.
4. Electrical outlets are required at the AD32 location
for the VMS, each monitor, each VCR, and each
EIM transformer or power supply.
5. When using outlet-mounted transformers, note that
many require a mounting space greater than one
outlet. Specify outlet spacing and quantities to
accommodate this requirement.
When the first cables or equipment arrives, meet with
the Facility and Loss Prevention Managers to review the
layout and installation plans. This will ensure everyone
is in agreement with the installation activities that
follow.
SensorNet Network Design
Guidelines
Understanding the SensorNet network is very important
for a successful installation. This understanding will
help you and the site manager plan an efficient, reliable,
and flexible network that will meet the long-term needs
of the facility. This section provides basic guidelines for
selecting a suitable topology and installing the network
devices.
Distances and device counts in this section assume
AWG24 or 22 unshielded twisted-pair cable.
Shielding adds capacitance, causing the SensorNet
signal level to decline more rapidly as devices are
attached or cable length increased.
SensorNet devices will operate satisfactorily at
signal levels between 5V and 1V (differential peak-
to-peak, measured with a scope). A SensorNet J-
Box can be attached as the signal reaches 1-2V, to
amplify the signal back to 5V. This will extend the
network's distance and allow additional devices to
be added.
Network Design Considerations
A SensorNet network consists of one or more network
"links". Each link includes a twisted-pair cable, a
SensorNet driver, and one to 32 SensorNet devices. A
