Preface

The DVTel 9840 Series of Internet Protocol (IP) Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) Domes feature a

variety of PAL and NTSC models for both indoor and outdoor use.

The domes contain a built-in MPEG-4 encoder that converts analog video into one or two

MPEG-4 streams. The latter option is used to support viewing and recording at different

qualities (up to 4CIF, 30 ips NTSC or 25 ips PAL). The domes are powered using 24 VAC

current, delivered either through a Power over Ethernet (PoE) wiring accessory or directly.

PoE is not available for outdoor domes. Each dome also contains DIP switches for setting

the PTZ number, baud rate and protocol.

The DVTel Domes are designed to integrate seamlessly with Latitude NVMS. Most of the

devices’ configuration is typically performed through the Latitude AdminCenter.

Dome setup involves three principal tasks: encoder configuration, physical installation and

camera configuration.

The diagram below shows the dome’s dimensions, in millimeters.

Encoder Configuration

The dome’s built-in encoder should be configured in a lab before the camera is installed in

the field.

1. Power up your dome and connect it to a network switch on the same local area network as the

Latitude system.

2. Launch AdminCenter and click the Directory (globe) icon in the Selection View Pane.

Switch to the

Discovery

tab in the Configuration Pane.

Figure 2 - The AdminCenter-embedded Discovery Tool

3. Choose

VSIP

from the

Discover

drop-down menu and enter the beginning and ending

VSIP ports through which the system should search. VSIP domes’ default port is 5510

but if your unit’s port has been changed in the past use a low start value and high stop

value as your discovery parameters. Click the “binoculars” button to begin searching.

4. Your dome will appear as a unit of type “unknown” if it is new or its built-in encoder

has recently been rebooted. Otherwise, it will be listed as a camera (encoder). Right click

the dome and choose

Change IP Address…

Give the unit an IP address in the same IP

scheme as your Latitude system and leave the

Subnet mask

and

Gateway

unchanged

unless advised otherwise by your network administrator.

Figure 3 – Changing a Unit’s IP Address

5. To change the dome’s VSIP port, rediscover the unit and then right click it and choose

Change Port…

Enter a new port number in the

Change Port

dialog box and click

The dome’s port should match one of its intended Media Archiver’s VSIP extensions.

You can add a VSIP extension to an Archiver through the Resource Administration

Tool (RAT) by right clicking

Archiver

in the

Resources

tree and choosing

Create>VSIP

Extension

. Note that unless your system supports Fail-Over or Redundant Archiving, you

should never create the same VSIP Extension on multiple Media Archivers.

Physical Installation

The following instructions present the procedure for installing a bracket-mounted IP dome

using a pendant mount. Mounts are also available for installing the dome on a wall, corner,

roof or pole. The ceiling-mounted dome requires that a round hole be made in the ceiling tile.

Indoor Dome Installation

1. Place the pendant mount base against a firm ceiling and secure it with three expansion

bolts. Pull the wiring through the base hole.

2. Screw the suspender into the pendant mount base, and then the housing holder into the

suspender. Secure the connections with holding screws and pull the wiring through the

three connected accessories.

3. Screw the housing onto the housing holder and secure the connection with two holding

screws.

4. Connect your dome to power using either its power leads or the PoE wiring accessory

and a CAT5 cable of no more than 220 feet, depending on your model.

5. Connect the dome or PoE wiring accessory, depending on your model, to the network.

6. The dome’s PTZ number is set with the S1 DIP switch at the back of the dome drive.

DVTel recommends you leave at its default of 1. If you would like to change it, use the

key provided on the sticker below the S1 switch.

7. Insert the dome drive into the housing, making sure to align the red and green clasps

with the markings inside the housing (to release the dome drive, press the clasps inward).

8. To install the dome cover, line up its screws with the corresponding holes in the dome

housing, and secure the cover with the supplied pan-head screws.

Outdoor Dome Installation

1. Place the pendant mount base against a firm ceiling and secure it with three expansion

bolts. Pull the wiring through the base hole.

4. Connect the dome to your network using a CAT5 cable.

5. Connect the dome to a 24 VAC power source. Do not use Power over Ethernet to power the

outdoor dome.

6. The dome’s PTZ number is set with the S1 DIP switch at the back of the dome drive.

DVTel recommends you leave at its default of 1. If you would like to change it, use the

key provided on the sticker below the S1 switch.

7. Insert the dome drive into the housing, making sure to align the red and green clasps

with the markings inside the housing (to release the dome drive, press the clasps inward).

8. To install the dome cover, line up its screws with the corresponding holes in the dome

housing, and secure the cover with the supplied pan-head screws (if your dome’s cover

comes with a heater, make sure to plug it in before affixing it to the housing).

Camera Configuration

The DVTel IP Dome is typically configured using Latitude AdminCenter. Some of its most

common functions, such as presets and patterns, can be set-up using the system’s Graphical

User Interface (GUI). To set up most functions, however, the camera’s textual menu must

be utilized. Before this menu can be accessed from Latitude, however, the PTZ must be set

up in AdminCenter.

Dome Setup in Latitude

Setting up a dome in Latitude involves the configuration of the camera, the encoder’s serial

port, and of the PTZ motor.

Configuring the Camera

1. In the System View Pane (

Logical

view), browse for the dome. If it has yet to be

configured, its name should be based on the IP address assigned to it, followed by the

suffix “– Enc”.

Figure 14 - The General Settings Tab of the Camera Configuration Pane

2. Choose whether to use a single stream for both recording and viewing or two separate

ones and define viewing and recording qualities for each of your applicable coverages. Use

the

button to add a quality setting for a coverage and the

button to delete one. To

obtain an overview of all the coverages associated with the camera, click the “pie chart”

button. Click

Apply changes

when done.

3. Switch to the

Recording

tab to specify additional recording parameters such as storage

duration, pre- and post-alarms and archiving schedules. Click

Apply changes
