What Is CCTV? What Is The Purpose Of CCTV? CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) is a System Installed For: • Deterrence Overtly Installed Cameras/Monitors To Deter Actions • Observation Overtly Or Covertly Installed To Observe Actions • Documentation Recorded To Document Observed Actions Basic CCTV System Monitor Cable Camera
How Does it Work • The Camera Samples the Scene, Coverts It To an Electrical Signal, and Sends It Down The Coaxial, Fiber Optic or IP To The Monitor. The Monitor Electrically Charges the Front of the Picture Tube to Re-create the Image. The Monitor Blanks and the Process Repeats.
Choosing A Lens Determine Your Field of View • Area of Concern Define The Size of The Area That Needs to Be Viewed Utilizing CCTV Camera • Coverage General Coverage (Wide Angle View) -or- Detail Coverage (Narrow Angle View) Determine Your Lens Selection Factors • Target Area Size Of Area To Be View (Horizontal And Vertical) (Vertical View Will Be 3/4 Of Horizontal View) • Object Distance Distance From Camera Mounting Position To Area Being Viewed • Camera Format Size Of Imager Being Used In The Camera (Typically 1/3" Or 1/2") Horizontal Target Area Object Distance Camera Format Vertical
Choosing A Lens General Lens Selector Format Wide Angle Standard Telephoto HFOV = (2x Object Distance) (= Object Distance) (1/2x Object Distance) 2.0mm 3mm 6mm 1/3" 2.8mm 4mm 8mm 1/2" 3.7mm 6mm 12mm 1 /4” Field of View: Camera Viewing Doorway At 10' Distance 2.8 MM (20 Ft.

Camera and Lens Compatibility • Lenses and Imager Format Lenses Are Made For Specific Camera Imager Formats (Chip Sizes). A Lens Format Equal To To The Camera Format Is Best. (Example. 1/3" Lens With 1/3" Camera) A Lens Format Greater ThanThe Camera Format Is Good. (Example: 1/2" Lens With 1/3" Camera) A Lens Format Smaller Than The Camera Format Is Not Acceptable! Image Cropping (Tunnel Vision)
Lens Iris Types The Lens Iris (Aperture) Is An Adjustable Opening Which Regulates The Amount Of Light Passing Through The Lens. The Main Types Are: • No Iris - Lenses With No Iris Adjustment. Suitable For Indoor Cameras In Steady Light Conditions And Electronic Shutter (Electronic Iris). Mostly Used on Pinhole Board Level Cameras • Manual Iris - Lenses With Manually Adjustable Iris. Suitable For Indoor Camera Applications With Steady Light Conditions. • Auto Iris - Lenses With Automatically Controlled Iris Responding to Changing Light Conditions. Suitable for Indoor or Outdoor Camera Applications. This is the Most Common Lens Due to its Scene Lighting Adaptability
Auto Iris Lenses There Are Two Types Of Auto Iris Video and DC Video Type Auto Iris Lenses Video Type Lenses Sample the Video Signal Coming From the Camera and Adjust the Iris Aperture Accordingly. Video Lenses Have Fine Tuning Adjustments on Them for Iris Opening Control (Level) And Reaction Speed (ALC). Level (Iris Opening Control) Picture Is Dark. Adj. Clockwise To High (H). Picture Is Bright, Adj. Counter-clockwise To Low (L). ALC (Iris Reaction Speed) Contrast Is High, Adj. Clockwise To Average (A) Contrast Is Low, Adj. Counter-clockwise To Peak (P) To Camera DC Auto Iris Lenses DC Type Auto Iris Lenses Are Controlled Directly By A Circuit Within The Camera. Any Fine Tuning Of The Lens (If Applicable) Is Done At The Camera. This Has Become The Most Common Lens Type No External Controls All Iris Functions Controlled By Camera To Camera To Camera
F-Stop F-stop is the Comparative Rating For Lens Iris Opening To Compare How Much Available Scene Lighting is Passed Through the Lens and Iris to the Camera Imager. • The Lower The F-stop, the More Light A Lens Will Pass. • The Higher The F-stop, the Less Light A Lens Will Pass. Lens Passes More Light (Less Scene Light Or Less Sensitive Camera Required) F/0.7 F/1.0 F/1.4 F/2.0 F/2.8 Lens Passes Less Light (More Scene Light Or More Sensitive Camera Required) Each Increase In F-stop Reduces Light Available to Camera Imager Incrementally
Special Application Lenses • Varifocal Lens With Manually Variable Focal Length, Adjustable With A Short Range. (Typically 3.5 To 8mm, 6 To 12mm, 9 to 22mm and 5 to 50mm) • Zoom Lens Lens With Adjustable Focal Length, Manual Or Motorized (Remote Control) Wider Range Than Varifocal Lens (Example: 6-36mm, 6-60mm, 8-48mm, 8-80mm, 10-100mm ) • Pinhole Lens Lens With Very Small Opening On Front To Allow Viewing Through Small Hole (1/8" Or Less). Allows Camera And Lens To Be Concealed. For Covert and Discreet Applications • Aspherical Lens Specially Manufactured Lens That Has An Very Low F-stop. (Typically F/1.0 Or Less)
Monitors • What Size Monitor? Getting The Most From Your Monitor • Proper Location Place Monitor In A Cool Dry, Well Ventilated Area. If It's In A Rack, Make Sure It Has A Cooling Fan To Circulate The Air. • Proper Set Up Turn Contrast And Brightness All The Way Down. First, Slowly Turn Up The Contrast Until Picture Highlights Are Visible. Second, Slowly Turn Up The Brightness Until A Good Picture Is Visible. Instruct The Customer Not To Make Any Adjustments To The Monitor. • Proper Termination If Your Video Signal Ends at the Monitor, Put the 75 Ohm/HI-Z in the 75 Ohm Position. This Stops the Signal at the Monitor. If the Signal is Being Passed on to Another Device Put the Switch in the HI-Z Position. • Monitor “Burn In” If the CRT Monitor is Constantly Displaying the Same Image or Scene Eventually The Internal Interlace Coating will “Burn Select Monitor Size By Distance Minus 4 Rule (Monitor Size = Viewing Distance) From Monitor (Feet) Times 4 = 4 Equals Monitor Size Required in Inches)

Housings And Domes Purpose of Housings and Domes • Protection For The Camera From The Environment, Tampering, or Damage • Concealment For Covert Observation Considerations For Housings: Where Will It Mount? (Wall, Pole. Roof, Ceiling. Corner) Is There Enough Space Inside For The Camera And Lens? For Outside Housings, Also Consider: • Protection From The Environment and/or Damage? • Heater And Blower and/or Sunshield? (Use Separate Power Source For Heater Blower To Prevent Transients For Blower Motor From Affecting Camera Picture Quality!) • Can Pan/Tilt Or Scanner Handle The Weight Of The Housing And Camera? • What About Wind Resistance? (This Can Add 20% More Weight Burden)
Considerations For Domes • Will Pan/Tilt and/or Camera And Lens Fit Into The Dome? • Sufficient Light Available To Allow A Light Loss of 1 F-Stop By A Tinted Dome? • Sufficient Light Available To Allow A Light Loss of 2 F-Stops By A Mirrored Dome? Housing/Dome Location Considerations: Rooftop Under Overhang Pole Mount Enough Clearance to Open Housing From The Top Mounting Straps/Adaptor To Mount To Pole? Power For Camera. Heater/Blower. Receiver Available? Permission From Owner Of Pole To Mount To It? (Utility) Parapet Mount (Allows Mount to Swung Around For Access)
What's Wrong With This Picture? Bright Spot Smears on the Monitor Cameras Are Designed to View Light Reflected From The Scene Being Viewed. When You Have A Bright Light Source In The Picture It May Produce A Bright White Spot With A Vertical Line Through It. This Is A Problem Especially At Night. Solution: Reposition Camera To Avoid Bright Light Source In Scene. Bright Background, Dark Foreground A Camera In A Darker Area Viewing Into A Brighter Area The Iris To Close Or The Imager To Reduce Gain. This Causes The Unlit Area To Appear Darker. Solution: Reposition The Camera To Avoid Bright Background, Illuminate Foreground To Even Scene Lighting, or Use Camera With Backlight Compensation.
What's Wrong With This Picture? Picture Rolls When Switcher Changes The Cameras and Switcher Get Synchronization to Generate Frames From The AC Power They Use. If The Cameras and Switcher Power Supplies Are Out Of Phase They Do Not Coordinate Frame Creation and Change. This Can Result In Frame Creation By The Camera Occurring During Frame Changing By The Switcher. Solution: Power Cameras And Switcher From Same Phase Power Supply. If Problem Persists, Reverse Leads On Camera. Picture Is Snowy Or Snowy Bars Roll On Screen The Coax Cable Is Picking Up E.M. Or R.F. Interference. This Problem Is Very Prevalent When Using Cheap Cable. Solution: Re-route Cables Away From Problem Areas And Use Only Good Quality Cable.
What's Wrong With This Picture? Monitor Has "Ghosts" When A Monitor Is Not Properly Terminated The Video Signal Reflects Back On Itself Resulting In Secondary Images Called "Ghosts." Unless You Are Passing The Video Signal On To Another Product The Signal Needs To Be Terminated. This Also Occurs When "T-tapping" Video Signals. Solution: Make Sure "75 Ohm/Hi-z" Switch Is In "75 Ohm" Position Unless Passing Video Signal On To Another Device. Loop Video Signal Through Devices Instead Of 'T-tapping" Coax Cable. Picture Tears Horizontally Or Snowy Bars Roll The System Is Suffering From A Ground Loop(s). A Ground Loop Is Caused When The Camera And Monitor Are Powered From Different Sources With Different Ground Potentials. If A Path For Current Flow (Other Than The Coax) Exists Ground Loops Are Possible. A Difference Of A Few Millivolts Can Cause A Ground Loop. Ground Loops Are Not Predictable And May Appear And Disappear After The System Has Been Installed. Ground Loops Become More Prevalent When It Rains. Solution: Power All Cameras, Monitors. And Peripherals From The Same Source Or Install Ground Loop Corrector(s).
What's Wrong With This Picture? Great Picture During Day, Out Of Focus At Night The Lens Has A Small Depth Of Field. When A Lens Is Focused During The Daytime With Plenty Of Light Reflecting From Many Directions The Focus Adjustment Is Very Forgiving. At Night, When There Is A Lot Less Light Reflecting From Fewer Directions The Lens Focus Is Less Forgiving. Solution: Set Up Camera Focus Simulating Nighttime Conditions. Cover Front Of Lens With Neutral Density #3 Or Darker Filter Or Cover With #5 Welding Goggles. If Problem Persist, Return To Camera Sight During Night Hours And Adjust Camera Focus. No Picture At The Monitor An Open Or A Short In The Cable Is The Most Common Cause. Breaks In The Center Conductor Are Usually Caused By Excessive Pulling Or Bending Shorts Are Usually Caused By Improper Connector Installation. Solution: Meter Cable For Shorts And Opens With Connectors Installed and Removed From Both Ends Of The Cable. Replace If Required
What's Wrong With This Picture? Picture Appears Dark With Auto Iris Lens On Camera This A Symptom Of A Number Of Possible Problems. Some Things To Check: 1) Is The Connector Wired Properly? 2) Is The Camera Auto Iris Drive Compatible With The Lens Auto Iris Drive? 3) Are The Camera And Lens Formats Compatible? 4) For Video Type Lenses, Was The Level (Main Iris Control) Adjusted? Solution: 1) Double Check Connector Pin Out And Solder Connection 2) Make Sure That The Proper Auto Iris Drive (Video or DC) Is Being Used With The Proper Camera. Some Cameras Will Drive Both Video And DC Lenses, But Have A "Video/DC" Switch On Them Or Alternate Wiring Configurations For Different Lenses. 3) Make Sure The Lens Format Is Equal To Or Larger Than The Camera Format. 4) Adjusting The "Level" Adjustment On A Video Type Auto Iris Lens Towards "High" Will Open The Iris, Towards "Low“ will Close It

Video Multiplexing What Is Video Multiplexing? Video Multiplexing Is The Ability To Record and / or Display Multiple Cameras At The Same Time. Tri-Plexing – The Ability to Record, Display & Playback Simultaneously The Roots Of Video Multiplexing: Sequential Switcher Accepts Multiple Video Inputs And Sequences Them On Single Video Output. Cameras Switcher Monitor Advantage: Full Frame (1 Camera At A Time) Recording Of All Cameras. Disadvantage: Loss Of Viewing/Recording Of A Camera While Viewing/Recording Other Cameras On The Switcher.
Video Multiplexing Quad Accepts 4 Video Inputs. Digitally Compresses Each Signal, And Combines Them Into A Single Signal For Simultaneous Display. Cameras Advantages:View/Record All Cameras All The Time. Ability To "Zoom" Any Camera Full Screen On Playback. **(Some Models)** Disadvantages: Resolution (Picture Quality) Is Lost Due To Digitization Process. (Up To 75%, Affecting Viewing And Recording) Zoom On Playback Is Strictly Playing Single Picture Full Screen. (Enlarging Digitally Compressed Picture, No Resolution Regained) • 2 • 3 4 Quad
