Technician Menu; Camera Set Up - Dedicated Micros Dennard 2040 Manual

4.4 Technician Menu

The Technician menu provides access to a number of features to determine overall dome operating
configurations. This menu will be little used after the dome is first installed and commissioned.
When called, it displays:

Camera set up

Enable/Disable options
Joystick control

Exit
4.4.1 Camera set up
A number of changes can be made to the operation of the camera module inside the dome. The
following screen is used:
Camera colour:
Preset focus:
Near focus:
Frame integ:
Save and Return
Save and Exit
The options are all set in the same way. To change the setting, move the cursor up/down until it is
alongside the feature. Moving the joystick to the left or right (or pressing the left/right direction
arrows) will scroll through alternative settings. Moving up or down will fix the value on the screen.
When col/mono is selected the camera will operate in colour mode until the light level falls below a
predetermined value when it will automatically switch to mono mode. The reverse will occur when
the light returns to a suitable level for colour operation. The camera may also be fixed in colour or
mono mode if preferred.
When a preset position is stored the focus position of the lens is also stored. If the preset focus is
set to 'auto' (the preferred setting) the camera will re-focus itself to cope with any changing
circumstances. Setting this to manual will force the original focus setting onto the camera while it
remains at the preset position.
The Near focus setting may be used in indoor applications as it allows the camera to focus at
objects less than a metre away. This should be disabled for normal outdoor operation as, otherwise,
it will auto focus onto raindrops that fall on the hemisphere.
If the frame integration is set to 'auto' the camera is able to adjust its frame rate to suit low light
applications. If 'normal' is selected, the frame rate will remain constant but the image quality may
suffer in low light.
