Settings Prior to installing the camera, you must set it up for use in the video system. To do this you will need to access the switches on the bottom of the camera. Remove the camera from the box and the enclosure. To access the switches, you must remove the bottom cover as shown in Figure 1. TIP Use a small paper clip to set the DIP switches to ensure that you set each one correctly. Figure 1. Removing Bottom Cover NOTE Setting DIP switches correctly is very important.
Figure 2. Switch Layout Setting Camera Termination When you set up your video system, you will be connecting the cameras, keyboard controller and any other devices in a daisy-chain arrangement (as shown in Figure 3). All of the devices are set up in a line. The last device in the line must be set so that the control device knows it is the last device. Set this using DIP switch SW1 (Figure 2). If this camera is to be the last device, set SW1 DIP switches 1 and 2 to ON as shown below.
TIP Set up all of your devices now to ensure that you only have one selected as the last device. Record the device, which is the last device for future reference. Fail-Safe Network The camera may be controlled by both REVO and non-REVO devices such and keyboard controllers or DVRs. Using these devices, you can set up the camera and all of the functions. The ideal way to do this is using a REVO keyboard. It provides the easiest way to take full advantage of the camera’s capabilities.
Figure 3. Termination Connections for Various Camera Configurations Setting Camera Address Each camera requires a unique camera address so that the control device knows which camera is at your back door and which camera is monitoring your driveway. Think of the camera address as a telephone number. In order for the video system to work with multiple cameras, it has to know which one is which. Switches S1 through S3 (Figure 2) are used to set the camera address.
1 1 S2 S1 1 0 0 1 2 0 0 2 8 45 6 23 45 6 S3 9 01 78 23 S1 8 23 9 01 78 S2 DOME ID 1 45 6 9 01 78 S3 8 NOTE This is an important step. If you do not set the camera addresses correctly, there will be communication errors. Figure 4.
The following settings are used for the Alarm function enable/disable (S4-1), PAL/NTSC selection (S4-2), and RS-422/RS-485 selection (S4-4). Set the switches as indicated in the table below. S/W D1 S4-1 D2 D3 D4 On Enable PAL S4-2 S4-3 S4-4 RS-422 Off Disable NTSC Default RS-485 FUNCTION Alarm NTSC/PAL Reserved RS-422/RS-485 The following settings are used to set the protocol the camera will use to communicate with the video controller.
To change the BAUD rate and Parity to match your keyboard controller, set switch S5-4 and S6 as follows: D8 D9 D10 S5-4 S6-1 S6-2 Off Off Off Off Off On Off On Off Off On On On Off Off D11 S6-3 Off On REVO America BAUD RATE 2400 bps 4800 bps 9600 bps (Default) 19200 bps 38400 bps PARITY BIT None Even www.revoamerica.
