7 Advanced Features
This chapter details the advanced features of the AutoDome Modular Camera System.
7.1 Alarm Rules (300 and 500i Series Only)
The 300 and 500i Series AutoDomes feature a powerful alarm rule engine. In its simplest form,
an alarm rule defines those inputs that activate specific outputs. In its more complex form, a
rule can be programmed to take any combination of inputs and keyboard commands to
perform a dome function. There are numerous combinations of alarm inputs and outputs that
can be programmed into twelve alarm rules.
Following are three examples for setting up alarm rules. The first example is a basic alarm
rule, and the second and third examples are more complex.
Example 1: Basic Alarm Rule
Scenario: We want a door alarm contact to:
1. Flash an OSD message (***ALARM 1***) on the display when the alarm is triggered.
2. Move the AutoDome camera to a saved position. (For this example Shot 7.)
3. Transmit a Bilinx signal over the coax cable to the headend system, such as an Allegiant,
to trigger an alarm response.
The sequence to program the above alarm rule example is as follows:
1. Wire the door contact to Input 1 in the AutoDome. This circuit is normally open.
2. Define the Alarm Input(s)
– From the Inputs Setup menu, ensure that Alarm Input 1 is set to N.O. (This is the
default setting for Input 1.)
3. Define the Alarm Outputs from the Outputs Setup menu:
a. Ensure Output 5 is set to OSD. (This is the default setting for Output 5.)
b. Set Output 6 to Shot 7.
c. Set Output 7 to Transmit (a Bilinx signal to the head end).
4. Set up the Alarm Rule (for this example use Rule 1). Select the Inputs from the Rule
Setup menu:
a. Select Rule 1.
b. Set the first input to Alarm Input 1.
5. Select the outputs:
a. Set the first output to OSD.
b. Set the second output to Shot 7.
c. Set the third output to Transmit.
6. Enable the rule:
– Highlight Enabled and select YES.
Example 2: Advanced Alarm Rule
Scenario: A 500i Series AutoDome located at an airport is set to AutoPan Between Limits
from the parking garage to the airport terminal. The gate entering the airport has an alarm
contact connected to the AutoDome, and the perimeter fence in the area of the gate has an
infrared (IR) motion detection sensor connected to the AutoDome.
When both the gate contact and motion detector alarms are activated at the same time, we
want the alarm rule to:
