SafetyAttentionNotes
◎Please read the instructions thoroughly before installing or operating the unit.
◎Please do not put the machine on an unstable table or mounting bracket.
◎Please prevent all liquids or other contaminating material from entering into the dome
housing.
◎When connecting to the power source, please follow all electric safety standards and only
use the power supply designated for this device. The VPTZ500’s RS-485 and video signal
uses TVS technology to protect it from strong electric surges. This technology prevents
damage to the device resulting from impulse signals such as lightning strikes or surges
under 500W power. Allow for enough distance between the RS-485 and video signals and
high-voltage equipment or cables during the transmission process. Please do not power the
unit until all connections are secure and installation is complete.
◎Avoid shooting very bright objects directly into the camera’s CCD (such as the sun or light
fittings).
◎When the machine is not operating properly, do not casually repair it. Refer to the
instructions for information about how to service or repair your VPTZ500.
◎Please protect the unit against extremes of vibration, pressure or dampness while
transporting unit. Damage can occur from improperly packaging the unit while shipping.
◎Please only install the Indoor dome camera system in Indoor environments.

I. Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing our VPTZ500, an intelligent, high-speed dome camera with a
high-performance DSP camera and sophisticated zoom lens. It is an advanced technological
surveillance product combining an all-direction variable speed dome and digital decoder all in one unit. It
can aim quickly and scan continuously, making omni-directional and non-blind-spot monitoring into
reality. Additionally, it can quickly adapt to changing environments with its 18x optical and 12x digital
zoom with precise stepping motors. The advanced stepping motor technologies enable the dome to
rotate smoothly, respond sensitively and aim precisely. VPTZ500 dome camera has memorizing function
when the power cuts off, can auto resume to previous working status before the power cuts off. Use the
high-performance VPTZ500 “When it Counts.”
All of the features make the intelligent high-speed dome camera fit for a wide range of applications such
as intelligent building, bank, street of city, airport, station etc.

III Setting, Installation, Connection
3.1 Dome Address, Transmission Speed, Protocol Setting
Before the dome is installed, the communication protocol, baud rate and dome address, should be
confirmed. Set the code switch, keeping the setting consistent with the control system. The relative code
switch site and connecting wire are diagramed below for reference.

3.1.1 VPTZ500 Dome Camera Address Setting
The address code for the VPTZ500 should be properly set before use to ensure accurate operating
order of the controller at the control center and to control many dome cameras. The address code is
made up of SW3 (8 bits) on PCB board. The 8 bits switch uses the 8421 binary coded decimal
system. The largest value is established at 256. 1 means ON status and 0 means OFF status.
Each dome address code and keyboard relative screen display mode is represented in the chart
below (see the following figure and the address/digits in following chart)
5

With reference to the above chart: When all code switches are under “OFF” status on VPTZ500, address
code is 1. When you input Numerical key No.1 on VKB300/VKB200 control keyboard, then press CAM
key for confirmation showing that set VKB300/VKB200 address as No.1 control address., At this time,
VKB300/VKB200 keyboard can control VPTZ500 dome camera(its control address is 0001). Other
address is to be set as above.

3.1.2 VPTZ500 Dome Camera Communication Protocol Setting -
The 1st, 2nd and 3rd bits in SW2 are used to set communication protocol (see following figure)
3.1.3 VPTZ500 Dome Camera Transmission Speed Setting(Baud Rate Setting)
The 4th and 5th bits of SW2 on the PCB board are used to set the baud rate (see following figure).
The default baud rate setting is 9600.

Baud Rate Options: 1200BIT/S 、2400BIT/S 、4800BIT/s、9600BIT/s
3.1.4 RS-485 Bus Matching Resistance
For central controlling, the matching resistance should be set for the device that is furthest away
from the controller. There is an end matching resistance switch on SW2. The 8th bit of SW2 shows
ON status (see chart below) which means the BUS matching resistance has been connected.
3.2 Installation, Connection
Attention!
1. Installation should only be handled by a qualified CCTV expert.
7

2. For detailed connection information, please refer to silk-screen print instruction on PCB and
installation guide or manuals.
3. Because the dome is a high-grade optical unit, please never touch any of the optical components.
4. For a clear image, the dome cover should be cleaned periodically. When cleaning, position your
hand to hold dome’s outer loop to prevent finger sweat acidity from corrupting the surface of the
dome. If the dome is scratched, it will affect image quality. Therefore please use a soft dry cloth or
similar products to clean its outer surface. If the dust is heavy, you can use a neutral cleanser. Any
advanced furniture cleanser can be used to clean the dome exterior.
Installation Preparation
3.2.1 Installation Requirement-
Installation should be handled by a qualified service agent and should comply with all local
regulations, Service personnel should forecast potential problem such as falling objects, outer breach,
building vibration or other similar conditions.
Check for all necessary materials, and ensure if the selected installation location is suitable for the
VPTZ500.
3.2.2 VPTZ500 Indoor Hemisphere Dome Camera Recessed Installation
VPTZ500 Installation
ATTN: Installation locations should endure five times the total weight of the camera assembly (dome
camera, mounting bracket and mounting base) to avoid in shaken images. Installation ceiling
must be strong and has no peeling phenomenon.
A. Draw out center site of the hole on the ceiling against embedded upper housing sample
B. Use drill to make hole on the ceiling

·Housing Installation
ATake out the housing from the carton, adjust the thickness of bolt reed more than that of ceiling.
BStick 3 ring to housing, and install the upper housing in the round hole of the ceiling, connecting
flange edge with the ceiling surface closely.
CUse screwdriver to rotate the bolt of the ring, making the ring stick to the ceiling in order to
connecting flange edge with the ceiling surface closely.
Camera Module Installation
•Turn power supply off prior to installation.
•Loosen the two M5 screw on the bracket, which are located in the inner housing .
•Take the camera module from the packing carton, and check if connecting wire plugs are loose. Set
code switch of the dome camera.
•Secure the camera module (use one hand to hold stepping motor, preventing it from moving.). Insert
the wire terminal into the outlet on the end of camera module. Align two bar holes on the camera
module base with the two M5 bolt of the connecting bridge. Twist the camera module upward
ensuring the two M5 bolts reach the end of bar hole. Tighten the two M5 bolt to make camera module
fixed in the upper housing.
