COMMUNICATIONS AND LIMITATIONS You can connect up to 16 domes all of them from the same manufacturer or a matrix that can sometimes support different manufacturers SUPERVISOR In order to control domes you will have to configure both the Supervisor and the VT units The connection can be established with whatever communication mode being used other than GSM and nullmodem in VT200 and nullmodem in VT100 incompatible with domes control although for a faster transmission the TCP IP communication through a local area network LAN or an ISDN connection are recommended 2 18 2 INSTALLATION Before beginning the domes installation you will need Write down the dome model and the manufacturer Write down the identification address of the dome refer to the dome user manual This is not necessary when installing a matrix Write down the number of the VT200 camera input you will use for each dome In order to complete the domes installation you will need A VT200 unit version 3 5 or later or a VT100 1 8 or later installed at the remote site and a Supervisor 3 61 version or later installed on a PC being used for the remote control A Dome protocol adapter to RS232 to connect the dome to the unit and the instructions for its correct configuration refer to the specific manual of your dome If you are installing a single dome and it supports RS 232 protocol you can connect directly the RS232 seria
5. N AT VT UNITS The domes video signal is connected to the VT units by using the BNC connectors You have to hardwire from the serial port of the VT unit to the protocol converter by using the RS 232 cable and then a pair of cables from the converter to the dome Depending on the converter selected you will configure some parameters speed protocol or not If the dome supports the RS 232 protocol it is not necessary to connect the converter but in that case you can only connect one dome see the user manual of the dome Ifthe installed dome is able to go to a preset when an alarm is triggered you can wire a VT unit digital output to a digital input in the dome This way through the proper configuration an alarm wired to the VT unit not only cause the start of recording also order the dome to move to a position in order to record the desired zone Supervisor PC with MODEM or LAN adaptor Communication Channel DOMES INSTALLATION 4 18 VIIDEO CABLES l Digital outputs optional Converter RS232 to RS 422 485 z a xl amp W Fa ca D X 2 2 MATRIX INSTALLATION AT VT UNITS Domes matrix installation The video signals from different domes are connected to the video inputs of the matrix and the control output usually 2 wires of the matrix to the commands inputs of the domes Matrix VT unit connection The monitor video output is connected from the matrix to one of the video inputs of the
