Appendix 2 Stacs, Interference Lightning and Surge Protecon
This product adopts TVS plate lightning protecon technology to avoid damage caused by pulse signal that is below 3000V, like instantaneous lighng stroke, surging, etc. According to the actual outdoor situaon, necessary protecon measures must be taken, besides ensuring the electrical safety.
- The distance between signal transmission wires and High-voltage equipment or high-voltage cable is at least 50m.
● Outdoor wiring should beer be routed under eaves as much as possible. - In the open eld, wiring should be buried underground in sealed steel pipe, and the steel-pipe should be one-point grounding. Overhead round method is forbidden.
- In strong thunderstorm area or high inducon voltage areas (such as high-voltage transformer substaon), high power lightning protecon apparatus and lightning conductor are necessary to be added.
- The design of lightning protecon and grounding of the outdoor devices and cables should be considered together with the lightning protecon demand of buildings. It also must conform to the related naonal standards and industrial standards.
- The system should be equipotenal grounded. The grounding equipment must conform to the demands of system an-jamming and electrical safety both and it must not appear short circuit or mixed circuit with the zero conductor of strong grid. When the system is grounded alone, the resistance should be no more than 4Ω. The seconal area of the grounding cable should be no less than 25mm2. For grounding instrucons, refer to the Installaon Manual of Camera.

Appendix 5 RS-485 Bus Connecon
● General Property of RS-485 Bus
According to RS-485 industry bus standard, RS-485 is a half-duplex communicaon bus which has 120Ω characterisc impedance, the maximum load ability is 32 payloads (including controller device and controlled device).
● RS-485 Bus Transmission Distance
When using 0.56mm (24AWG) twisted-pair line, according to dierent baudrate, the maximum transmission distance theory table is shown as below:
| Max. Distance of RS-485 Transmission | |
| Baudrate | Max Distance |
| 2400BPS | 1800m |
| 4800BPS | 1200m |
| 9600BPS | 800m |
The transmission distance will be decreased if we use the thinner cable, or use this product under the strong electromagnec interference situation, or there are lots of devices are added to the bus; on the contrary, the transmission distance will be increased.
- Connecon Methods
RS-485 industry bus standard require daisy-chain conncon method between any devices, both sides have to connect a 120Ω terminal resistance (show as Diagram 1), the simplified conncon method is shown as diagram 2, but the distance of “D” should not be too long.

● Problems in the Praccal Applicaon
Normally, users adopt star-shape conncon method in construcon, under this situation, the terminal resistors must be connected between two farthest devices (as Figure A-9, 1# and 15#), but this conncon method does not satisfy the requirement of the RS-485 industry standard so that it will lead to some problems such as signal reecon, an-jamming ability decline when the devices are faraway.
At this me, the camera will be uncontrollable, or self-running, etc.

Appendix 9 Alarm In/Out Connecons
Note:
This secon is only for the cameras with alarm in/out funcons.
The camera can be connected with alarm inputs (0\~5VDC) and alarm outputs. Refer to the following diagrams for alarm output:

text_image
DC Load Dome Relay Output OUT (n) DC OUT (n) Diagram (left) Dome Relay Output OUT (n) OUT (n) GND OUT 30VDC 1A J00-3FG Relay (10 A 250VAC) ~220V AC L NFigure A.9.1 Alarm Out Connecons
The alarm provides the relay output (no voltage), and the external power supply is required when it connects to the alarm device.
- For DC power supply (le diagram), the input voltage must be no more than 30VDC, 1A.
- For AC power supply, the external relay must be used (right diagram) to prevent damages to the camera and avoid risk of electric shock.
Appendix 10 Camera Funcon Descripon
Note:
The funcons vary depending on dierent camera models.
Limit Stops
The camera can be programmed to move within the limit stops (le/right, up/down).
Scan Modes
The camera provides 5 scan modes: auto scan, It scan, frame scan, random scan and panorama scan.
Preset Freezing
This feature freezes the scene on the monitor when the camera is moving to a preset. This allows for smooth transition from one preset scene to another. It also guarantees that masked area will not be revealed when the camera is moving to a preset.
Presets
A preset is a predened image posion. When the preset is called, the camera will automatically move to the dened posion. The presets can be added, modified, deleted and called.
Label Display
The on-screen label of the preset tle, azimuth/elevaon, zoom, me and camera name can be displayed on the monitor. The displays of me and camera name can be programmed.
Auto Flips
In manual tracking mode, when a target object goes directly beneath the camera, the video will automatically ips 180 degrees in horizontal direcon to maintain connuity of tracking. This funcon can also be realized by auto mirror image depending on the models of camera.
Privacy Mask
This funcon allows you to block or mask certain area of a scene, for preventing the personal privacy from recording or live viewing. A masked area will move with pan and It funcons and automacally adjust in size as the lens zooms telephoto and wide.
3D Posioning
In the client soware, use the le key of mouse to click on the desired posion in the video image and drag a rectangle area in the lower right direcon, then the camera system will move the posion to the center and allow the rectangle area to zoom in. Use the le key of mouse to drag a rectangle area in the upper le direcon to move the posion to the center and allow the rectangle area to zoom out.
Proporonal Pan/Tilt
Proporonal pan/lt automacally reduces or increases the pan and lt speeds according to the amount of zoom. At telephoto zoom sengs, the pan and lt speeds will be slower than at wide zoom sengs. This keeps the image from moving too fast on the live view image when there is a large amount of zoom.
Auto Focus
The auto focus enables the camera to focus automacally to maintain clear video images.
Day/Night Auto Switch
The cameras deliver color images during the day. And as light diminishes at night, the cameras switch to night mode and deliver black and white images with high quality.
Slow Shuer
In slow shuer mode, the shuer speed will automatically slow down in low illuminaon conditions to maintain clear video images by extending the exposure me. The feature can be enabled or disabled.
Backlight Compensaon (BLC)
If you focus on an object against strong backlight, the object will be too dark to be seen clearly. The BLC
(Backlight Compensaon) funcon can compensate light to the object in the front to make it clear, but this causes the over-exposure of the background where the light is strong.
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)
The wide dynamic range (WDR) funcon helps the camera provide clear images even under back light circumstances. When there are both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously in the eld of view, WDR balances the brightness level of the whole image and provide clear images with details.
White Balance (WB)
White balance can remove the unrealisc color casts. White balance is the white rendition funcon of the camera to adjust the color temperature according to the environment automacally.
Patrol
A patrol is a memorized series of pre-dened preset funcon. The scanning speed between two presets and the dwell me at the preset are programmable.
Paern
A paern is a memorized series of pan, lt, zoom, and preset funcons. By default the focus and iris are in auto status during the paern is being memorized.
Power O Memory
The camera supports the power o memory capability with the predened resume me. It allows the camera to resume its previous posion aer power is restored.
Time Task
A me task is a precongured acon that can be performed automacally at a specic date and me.
The programmable acons include: auto scan, random scan, patrol 1-8 ,paern 1-4, preset 1-8,frame scan, panorama scan, lt scan, day, night, reboot, PT adjust, Aux Output, etc.
Park Acon
This feature allows the camera to start a predened acon automacally aer a period of inactivity.
User Management
The camera allows you to edit users with dierent levels of permission, in the admin login status. Mulple users are allowed to access and control the same camera via network simultaneously.
3D Digital Noise Reducon
Comparing with the general 2D digital noise reducon, the 3D digital noise reducon funcon processes the noise between two frames besides processing the noise in one frame. The noise will be much less and the video will be clearer.
Dual-VCA
Combine the detected VCA informaon into the video stream, which can be used for the second-me analysis on the back-end device.
