Contents of the manual
The range of RK series cameras is a range of IP cameras for wired network connection or WiFi. There are several manuals that describe the various functions of this range and the installation and configuration procedures
This manual explains how to use motorized RK cameras, also called PTZs.

Installation of PTZ cameras

CONNECTIONS
The RK series speed dome cameras, like normal fixed cameras, have 2 suns connections: a mains socket and a 12VDC power plug.
The cameras support 12VDC power supply or POE power supply along the cable net. Unlike analog models, motorized IP cameras do not require cables additional for the command.

• RJ45 NETWORK PORT – RJ45 FEMALE connector to connect the LAN network. This door it is used to connect to a network switch using a normal LAN cable.

• 12VDC – Plug to connect the included 220VAC / 12VDC power supply.
  The power supply should always be used if you connect the camera to a non-POE switch. If instead connect the camera to a POE switch no need to supply 12VDC power and this pin remains unused.

• POE + – If you use POE power (along the network cable) remember to use a switch in can support POE + (max. 30W) and not only standard POE (max 15W)

CHECKING THE CONNECTIONS
After connecting the camera, check that it performs an automatic movement of rotation that certifies proper nutrition. If the camera does not make any movement check the power supply.
When you connect the network cable between the switch and the camera, check that the switch LEDs that correspond to the port used start flashing. If they remain off, check the
net.

SD CARD
Some cameras have an internal SD card slot which you can access by unscrewing it rear watertight door. You can insert an SD card to record on board the camera.

MOUNTING THE CAMERA
Cameras supplied with a wall bracket must be fixed to the wall with the supplied mounting bracket. The connecting cable comes out through the bracket. The cable entry can be provided at center of the bracket if the cable passage is walled up. Alternatively, a cable passage is available downward. Bracketless cameras mount directly to the ceiling by screwing the disk to the ceiling metal base and then hooking the camera to the disc with a locking half turn.
The housings of all cameras in this range are watertight and can be mounted in external. However, the connections must be protected from bad weather in special boxes watertight.

ASSEMBLY FOR HUMAN DETECTION AND AUTOTRACKING
These cameras support human detection and auto tracking. Thanks to Human Detection The camera can detect whether a human person, not an animal either object, moves in the frame. With auto tracking the camera, in addition to detecting the person, follows their movements.
To make the best use of human detection you need to install the camera while holding in consider the following chart. Note that the camera cannot detect the figure human if it is too far below the camera and is shot from top to bottom.
The maximum shooting distance varies depending on the camera model and the power of the zoom.
Note that if there are more people in the frame, the camera will tend to follow the largest measurement. It is not convenient to enable the human detection in places with frequent presence of people.

Network configuration

The network configuration of a motorized RK Series camera is done exactly as for the fixed models, using the configuration software as explained in the manual of the RK series IP cameras

Access with browser

Once the network parameters have been set correctly, it is possible to log in for the first time to the camera using the internet browser. RK Series cameras support all
browsers. How to access with the browser is explained in the manual installation of the RK series IP cameras

PTZ browser controls

The installation manual explains how to access the cameras with the PC using any browser. If you haven’t logged in to your browser before camera should take the installation manual and follow the instructions to connect with success. In this section of the manual we see the particularities of the control interface that are available only for PTZ cameras.

On the right side of the screen is the PTZ panel for controlling cameras motorized

PTZ CONTROL

With the PTZ control panel you control iMOVEMENTSof the camera. The movements do control with the arrows that rotate the camera in 4 directions.

The buttons under the arrows operate from top to bottom onZOOM, FOCUS and APERTURE (DIAPHRAGM). Of these parameters, the zoom is always controllable while FOCUS E
OPEN may not be active if the camera settings include automatic functionality.
TheSPEED SLIDERallows you to adjust the rotation speed of the camera.
It is convenient to place it on high values in the wide angle view to move quickly framing and low values in movements with strong zoom.

Below the speed slider are two buttons. The button on the left, One Key Focus, is not supported by all cameras, and allows you to force focus in those shots in which the autofocus does not give good results, while the button on the right activates and deactivates the function AUTOTRACKING if your camera has one (see below).
Like all speed dome cameras, the RK series models can also perform movements automatic.

AUTOMATIC MOVEMENTS

For these cameras there are different types of automatic movements:

• PRESET-Pre-positions are predefined camera positions characterized by a precise value of X / Y coordinates, zoom and focus. They can be easily recalled when needed. The cameras manage 255 presets, 220 of which can be programmed by the user and the remainder intended for special system controls.

To set a preset, position the camera as you like, choose the preset number you want to store from the list and click the gear icon.
To recall a preset, select the preset number and click the arrow icon. To delete a preset click the X icon

• CRUISE-Also commonly known as TOUR. This refers to the automatic movement of the camera between different presets. The cameras can handle up to 3 different cruise sequences.

The table is set up for 8 cruise sequences that can be started with the PLAY icon or deleted with the X icon. To configure a cruise sequence, click the gear icon

Use the + button to add a preset to the sequence and the dwell time in seconds. For example, the cruise above foresees the sequence of presets 1,2 and 3 with a 10 second permanence on each preset. You can delete presets with the trash button and change the order of the presets with the arrows.

• AB SCAN-Cameras can scan horizontally between presets 1 and 2. To start scanning, call thepreset 92
• 360 ° SCAN-The cameras can perform 360 ° continuous horizontal rotation. To start the 360 ° scan call thepreset 39 or 99

SYSTEM PRESET
