1 MOTION SETUP

Configures the general functions of pan/tilt motions.

PRESET LOCKON / OFF
If motion lock is set to ON, it will be impossible to setup or delete a preset, scan, pattern, and/or group. It will only be possible to run those functions. To setup and delete those functions, go to OSD menu.

PWR UP ACTION ON / OFF /

This functions sets an action for your camera to execute when it restarts.

- ON: Camera resumes the last action executed before power went down. Most actions such as preset, pattern, scan, and group resume for this function, but jog action does not resume with this function.

- OFF: Camera will move to the home position.

- : Camera will move to the set position.

If AUTO CAL is turned ON, PWR UP ACTION should also be set as ON. If AUTO CAL is set to ON and PWR UP ACTION is set to PWR P, the camera will most likely cause a malfunction.

If PWR UP ACTION is set as PWR P, FOCUS MODE should be set as AUTO. If FOCUS MODE is set as SEMIAUTO while PWR UP ACTION is set to ON, the camera will most likely cause a malfunction.

AUTO FLIP ON/OFF

When the tilt angle arrives to the top of the tilt orbit (90°), zoom module module camera continues moving opposite of the tilt direction (180°) to continue tracing targets. As soon as zoom module camera passes through the top of tilt direction (90°), images should be reversed automatically and appears on the screen. If this function is set to OFF, tilt movement range is 0° \~ 90°.

JOG MAX SPEED 2/SEC \~ 200/SEC

Sets maximum jog speed. Jog speed is inversely proportional to zoom magnification. As zoom magnification goes up, pan/tilt speed goes down.

JOG DIRECTION INVERSE / NORMAL

If you set this to NORMAL, the view on the screen is moving in the same direction with jog tilting. If INVERSE is selected, the view on the screen is moving in the reverse direction.

When preset movement begins, the camera captures the image of the beginning point. Camera will display the captured image during the preset movement and will not display the images the camera receives during the movement. As soon as the camera stops at the preset end point, the camera begins to display the live images it receives at the end point.

Opens to PARKING ACTION SETUP screen.

2 PARKING ACTION SETUP

If PARK ENABLE is set to ON, camera runs assigned function automatically if there is no PTZ command during assigned WAIT TIME.

PARK ENABLE ON/OFF

WAIT TIME 00:00:05 \~ 04:00:00

2 SCHEDULE SETUP SCREEN

The schedule function allows you to run an appropriate function like preset, scan, pattern, or group at a designated day and time.

EX) If you set the rule "Tuesday at 9:00AM" and "Preset 1 (EX: Main Gate)", the camera will move to the main gate every Tuesday at 9:00 AM. If you choose weekday, camera will move to main gate everyday except on weekends.

It is noted that due to the real time clock (ROOT MENU > SYSTEM SETUP > DATA/TIME SETUP), the time data will be kept regardless of a blackout. The initial time and day setup is essential to proper schedule function.

MASTER ENABLEON / OFF
Decide whether schedule function is active or not.
DAYUNDEFINED / ALL / WKD / SUN ~ MON
Set the day for scheduling.
- Undefined: Inactivate.
- All: Applies to every day of the week.
- WKD: Applies to every day except Saturday and Sunday.
- SUN-MON: Applies to the designated day only.
TIME00:00 ~ 23:59 (hour:min)
Set the time.
ACT NOHOM(HOME) / PRS(Preset) 1~128(Excluding 95)/ SCN(Scan) 1~8 / PTN(Pattern) 1~4/GRO(Group) 1~8
Set the function and number.

EXAMPLE:

The second rule means camera will move to preset 12 at 7:00 every wednesday.

If the rules conflict with each other, the higher number will have priority over the others.
If you assign an undefined function, there will be no action that takes place.

This is changed to AGC or MOTION according to the SENS-UP setting.

AGC

VERY LOW / LOW / MIDDLE / HIGH /

VERY HIGH / USER 1\~16 / FIX 1\~16

Enhances the brightness of the image by amplifying gain when the illumination is low.

MOTION

S.SLOW / SLOW / NORMAL / FAST / F.FAST

If MOTION is set to S.SLOW, the shutter speed will be slower to obtain more light. There will be less noise, but this can cause the ghost effect of the moving object.

If MOTION is set to F.FAST, there will be less noise, but this will reduce the ghost effect for any moving object.

SHUTTER SPD

If this speed is fater, the moving object can be photographed without the ghost effect. However, the images can be dark if the scene lacks sufficient lighting.

Digital Watchdog Star-Light DWC-PTZ37XFM - AE SETUP - 2

If SENS-UP is set to AUTO, SHUTTER SPD is deactivated.

SENS-UP

OFF / AUTO x2 \~ AUTO x256 / FIX x2 \~ FIX x256

Activates the slow shutter function when luminance of the image is too dark for the CCD to accumulate the amount of light it is set to obtain.

If the camera is continuously subjected to very high temperatures (over 50°C or 122°F) for a long period of time, it is possible for the camera to lose focus and produce blurry images. When this happens, it is recommended to turn ON the auto calibration feature.

If AUTO CAL is set to ON, it will be conducted for 10 seconds every 24 hours.

  • During auto calibration, unexpected images can appear due to unordinary PTZ movement.
  • During auto calibration, the figures "A.C" will be displayed on the bottom left corner of the screen.

5 SET HOME POSITION

Home position means the origin of pan angle calculation. The value of the pan angle displayed on the screen is based on this home position.

By using the joystick, move the camera to the desired position and press Near key.

Home position does not effect the tilt angle.

If you change the location of the home position, all horizontal locations of your set functions such as preset, scan, pattern, group, and privacy zones mask will be shifted based on the new home position.

If there are no saved locations for the preset, pattern, scan, and/or group, the camera will automatically move to the home position after rebooting.

If power up action is set as ON, camera will continue the last function that was executed right before reboot.

Set Home Position?

When the camera block is replaced or the orientation of the camera is changed due to maintenance operations, it is very difficult to maintain the same pan orientation. All the data for the functions that depend on pan orientation, such as preset, scan, pattern, group, and privacy zone mask, are no longer useful. However, even in this case, you can reuse the data if you redefine the set home position to the previous home position.

6 SET NORTH DIRECTION

By using the joystick, move the camera to the desired northern position and press Near or Enter key. The direction will be displayed on the screen.
