Dedicated Micros ©2009 2060Programmable FeaturesThe Dedicated Micros 2060 Camera has a number of features which can be selected by the SystemSupervisor when the dome is installed. Any of these can be altered subsequently, or cancelled altogether, togive the best operational responses for any particular application. They are invoked or cancelled through on-screen menu structures and the settings are then retained in non-volatile memory so that they are not affectedby a loss of power.The features, and what they offer, are described below:Preset PositionsUp to 200 positions can be stored and recalled at any time. Each position stores the Pan, Tilt, Zoom, andFocus positions as well as the position title.Preset Position TitlesEach preset position title can have up to 20 alphanumeric characters to identify the associated positionuniquely. The default title position lies at the top left hand corner of the video picture, left justified, but this canbe altered if required.The preset position titles only appear at the position they identify: any movement from that position will removethem.ToursUp to 100 tours can be stored and recalled at any time. Each tour can contain up to 16 positions together witha ‘Dwell’ time at each position plus the ‘Travel Time’ that the dome unit must take to reach the next position.When the last position in the tour is reached, the tour ‘loops’ back to the first position.Real Time ClockThe Dedicated Micros 2060/N dome camera is fitted with a real time clock to provide time and date marks forthe operator and the recording system if required. A range of selectable formats can provide time and datedisplays and the unit is able to use the information to provide enhanced alarm functions where the reaction toan alarm can be modified depending on the time of day or the day of the week.Alarm ResponseUp to 100 Alarm responses can be stored. Each alarm response creates a specified reaction to an alarmnumber. This is a very powerful feature, allowing a number of domes, or any other device conforming to theDedicated Micros protocol, to invoke a pre-set alarm action from one single loop broadcast command.Bottom FlipThe dome will automatically pan through 180 degrees as fast as possible when tilted fully down so that it ispossible to follow a person or car, moving directly underneath the dome, with only a single joystick direction toconsider.Camera ModeThe camera can be switched between color and monochrome mode and can be selected as color/mono toautomatically switch to mono when the light level is insufficient for good quality color pictures.Digital Zoom ExtensionThe camera system allows an extension of the optical zoom by selecting more of the central part of the pictureand expanding this to fill the frame. This feature is selectable.Dome Selection CursorThe menu structure itself, and the choices and selections offered, are searched and invoked by a single cursoror flashing character and the direction in which this moves depends on the particular control panel in use. Thedirection of movement can be reversed separately for horizontal and vertical movement if required.Text Positioning and SelectionAll text can be positioned where it is wanted, replaced with default text (eg: Position 31, or Sector 18), orremoved as required.Joystick RangeEven if the control panel has a wide range proportional joystick output, the dome has such a wide speed rangethat both a fast and a slow speed range are needed to realize the full performance (provided of course that thecontrol panel in question has a facility to invoke these separately).The slow speed range is simply the same as the fast speed range following the same in-built correlation law,but divided by a constant. This constant can be set between 2 and 128.Host pollingWhen the dome is configured for communication using RS485 protocols it can be set to check itscommunication link at regular intervals. If a continuous data stream is expected from the controller, enablingHost Polling will get the dome to report a communications error if nothing is received for 5 seconds. Normally,this setting is disabled.
