1 Getting Started

Install and wire the 100 Series AutoDome according to the AutoDome Modular Camera System

Installation Manual. A typical system includes a keyboard, matrix switcher, monitor, and appro-

priate wiring connections. Please refer to the individual product manuals for complete instal-

lation and setup instructions for each of the system components.

2CameraSetup

To assist setup, the VG4-100 Series camera module can be connected to a monitor through

the miniature 2.5 mm monitor jack located on the camera circuit board. The monitor jack pro-

vides a composite video signal with synchronization. An optional cable (part number S1460,

SAP No. F01U500418) is available for making this connection.

To access the monitor jack, remove the bubble and covert liner:

1. Insert a small screw driver through the keyway in the Pendant trim-ring, rotate the dome

bubble counterclockwise and remove the dome bubble. For In-Ceiling AutoDomes, you

must loosen the small screw in the trim ring before rotating the bubble.

2. Press and hold the two retention buttons on each side of the camera module and then

pull off the covert liner. See Figure 2.1 below.

Removing the covert liner provides access to the menu keys, and the pan and tilt thumbscrew

adjustment locks. See Figure 3.1 on page 4.

3 Positioning the Camera

The camera module position can be adjusted along the horizontal, vertical, and diagonal (for

azimuth) axes. When adjusting the position, ensure that the picture displayed on the monitor

is level. After the covert liner is removed, position the camera by performing the following

steps:

1. For horizontal (pan) adjustment, loosen the thumbscrew at the platform base and rotate

the camera (left or right) to the desired position. The camera can be rotated up to 360º

between stops. If it hits the stop before achieving the desired position, rotate it in the

opposite direction. Retighten the thumbscrew to secure the camera.

2. For vertical adjustment (tilt), loosen the thumbscrew at the tilt wheel and position the

camera (up or down) to the desired position. The camera can be tilted up to 110º

between stops. Retighten the thumbscrew to secure the camera.

3. To compensate for angled ceilings or sidewall mounts, push the camera inward toward

its base and rotate it until the image on the monitor is horizontal. The camera can be

rotated up to 300º between stops.

Fig. 3.1 Camera Position Adjustments

WARNING! To prevent damage to the camera module do not rotate the camera past its stops.

CAUTION! The CCD image sensors are highly sensitive and require special care for proper

performance and extended lifetime. Do not expose it to direct sunlight or bright spotlights in

operating and non-operation conditions. Avoid bright lights in the field of view of the camera.

5 Advanced Setup

The VG4-100 Series camera module normally provides an optimal picture without the need for

further adjustments. Advanced setup options, however, are available for obtaining the best

results from the camera under special circumstances. There are two upper level On-Screen

Display (OSD) menus: the Main menu and the Install menu.

The Main menu allows you to select and setup the picture enhancement functions. The Install

menu allows you to set the camera ID, focus and synchronization settings. The Main and

Install menus have settings that you can select directly or open to submenus for a more

detailed setup.
