ACD-1500 Quick Notes Support

Always test and get familiar with the camera and it's operations before you mount it.
This is called "Bench Testing"

When you open the box remove the foam that holds the power supply and the mounting brackets.
Remove the Pan Tilt Zoom Camera and place it on it's side on top of the foam that hold the brackets.
Pull the remaining foam from the bottom of the box and place it on you table or bench.
Now place the Pan Tilt Zoom camera upside down in the foam from the bottom of the box.
This will hold the camera from rolling around while your "Bench Testing" it.
Do not remove the plastic film from the cameras dome.
Leave it on for now to protect the dome from getting scratched while your testing.
Be extremely careful with the dome. They are expensive to replace. $85.00 If we can get them!
Carefully unscrew / rotate the dome counter clockwise to remove it from the camera base.
Inspect the dome now because you only have two days to report dome damage from the day the camera is delivered.
If for any reason the camera has to be returned and the dome is scratched you will be charged for a replacement.

AUTO SCAN INSTRUCTIONS
Auto Scan Notes	Auto SCAN means that the camera will scan between two points. That's it, just two. We are talking about AUTO SCAN not AUTO TOUR.
What is AUTO SCAN?	Auto Scan is TWO points that you can have the camera scan back and forth between. When you activate the auto scan feature the camera will go to point A, stop for a few seconds then slowly scan it's way to point B. It will stay at point B for a few seconds then scan its way back to point A. It will do this over and over until someone interrupts the process by moving the camera manually with the joystick. Once the joystick has been touched the auto scan process has to manually restarted. Actually any command sent to the camera telling to move to another point will stop the auto scan process. It doesn't have to be from a joystick. It could be a command sent from your DVR or any other device that is capable of sending commands to the camera.
Setting the Two points.	Using your joystick, move the camera to the view that you want the start point to be. The left side of the parking lot for example. PRESS: 52 PRESET This sets Point A. Now use your joystick to the view where you want the end point to be. the right side of the parking lot for example. PRESS: 53 PRESET This sets point B.
Starting the AUTO SCAN	There are three commands you can use to start the auto scan process. Pressing 51 CALL makes the camera scan between the two points in SLOW SPEED scan mode. Pressing 52 CALL makes the camera scan between the two points in MEDIUM SPEED scan mode. Pressing 53 CALL makes the camera scan between the two points in FAST SPEED scan mode.

AUTO TOUR INSTRUCTIONS
Auto Tour Notes	Auto TOUR means that the camera will tour between up to SIXTEEN points in the order that you programs them. We are talking about AUTO TOUR not AUTO SCAN
What is AUTO TOUR?	A good example of auto tour would be to have the camera look at several parking spaces in a large parking lot. The camera could first look at parking space #1, then move to parking space #2 The parking space #3 and so on up to sixteen parking spaces. Once you have all the preset points set the camera will scan through all the preset positions starting with preset position #1 working it's way thought all the preset positions up to sixteen. When the camera gets to position # 16 it will start the tour over again by going back to position #1 It will do this over and over until someone interrupts the process by moving the camera manually with the joystick. Once the joystick has been touched the auto tour process has to manually restarted. Actually any command sent to the camera telling to move to another point will stop the auto tour process. It doesn't have to be from a joystick. It could be a command sent from your DVR or any other device that is capable of sending commands to the camera. You don't have to set all sixteen positions. Your tour could only be two positions. It could be 10 positions. It's going to be the number of positions that you program into the camera however many that may be.
Note:	It's a good idea to manually go through and clear all the preset points manually before you mount your camera. "BENCH TESTING" The camera and it's operation before mounting will save you a lot time and confusion later on. It will let you get familiar with the cameras operation before you add in the confusion of distance and cabling.
Clearing the Preset Positions	First move the camera to any point you want. PRESS: 1 PRESET, This sets position #1 on the tour. Now move to the camera to another point (Not to far, just nudge it to the right a little using the joystick) and PRESS: 2 PRESET, This sets position #2. When we are done clearing out all the other preset positions and we start the auto tour our camera should go back and forth between these two points. Now: PRESS: 3 CLEAR, then 4 CLEAR, then 5 CLEAR, then 6 CLEAR. Repeat this all the way up to 16 CLEAR. Again, this clears out any presets that may have been set by the factory during testing.
Start the tour test 51 PRESET	PRESS: 51 PRESET. The camera should now go back and forth between the two points that we set in position #1 and #2. It should just go back and forth. Once you see its working right tap the joystick to stop the TOUR. If you really want to test the camera try setting all sixteen presets. Do something simple like make the camera TOUR in a circle. Point the camera straight out level with the landscape. Press 1 PRESET, move the camera just a little to the right with the joystick and press 2 PRESET. Move the camera a little more to the right and press 3 PRESET, a little more to the right 4 PRESET a little more, 5 PRESET. Keep doing this until you get to 16 PRESET. Then press 51 PRESET and the camera should one by one go through all 16 preset positions making a full circle stopping in all the positions that you set.
Preset notes	A preset position can be any position you can point the camera at. One could be zoomed in on a car in parking spot #1, Two could be zoomed all the way out so you can see the entire parking lot. Three could be zoomed in on the door of the building across the street. Basically a preset can be any positions you can manually move the camera to with the joystick. Remember the TOUR is going to start at preset #1 and work it's way all the way though #16. Lets say you have preset #1, 2, 3 and 4 set but you clear out preset #5. And lets assume you have something set in number 6, 7 and 8. The camera will skip # 5 because there isn't anything set in that position.
Speed Note	You can not adjust the speed of the TOUR. It's factory fixed.
Stop Point Delay	You can not adjust how long the camera pauses at each preset point. It's factory fixed.
