Preset 95 (Auto-Baud Detect Feature) — Auto-baud detect functions after installing defaults, using preset 95,
when switching Vicoax to Pilot/NOVA (VPS) and upon power-up when the dome sees an incorrect baud rate from
keypad or control system. It allows the camera dome to detect a new baud rate from the host controller without
having to fully reboot the camera dome and lose all stored configuration parameters. Be sure that auto home on
power up is disabled before executing this command. Symbols are used to display the status of the detection
process. The * symbol indicates that valid data at the correct baud rate has been received, the X symbol
represents a framing error has been received and the - symbol indicates that no data has been received.
Recalling preset 95 has no effect.
Preset 96 (Program Dome Sectors) — The SurveyorVFT has the ability to divide its 360° field-of-view into
sections or sectors. There may be up to 16 sectors and the boundaries for each are programmed for each
individual dome. An individual title may be programmed for each sector and video may be enabled or disabled.
More information on disabling sector video or “sector censoring” and titling may be found in the Camera
Controller and Source Titling menu sections.
Storing preset 96 will begin the sector programming process by establishing the left boundary for sector 1. Pan
the camera to the right and press the AP (autopan) key to set the right boundary for sector 1, which is also the left
boundary of sector 2. Continue panning the camera and pressing AP until all 16 boundaries have been
programmed. If fewer than 16 sectors are required, press AP repeatedly at the right boundary of the last sector
you will be programming to use up all the boundary numbers and exit sector-programming mode.
When the camera is moved, the corresponding sector title is displayed on the screen (when sector titles have
been enabled). If the video is disabled for a given sector, a black screen with the words “Blank Sector” will appear
when the camera enters that sector and video will be restored when the camera moves to a sector where video is
enabled. Sector programming can be aborted by issuing a preset recall; this will also erase any prior sector
programming. Recalling preset 96 has no effect.
Preset 97 (Initiate Dome Reset) — Storing preset 97 resets all of the system software and performs the power-
on self-test. This is called a “soft reset” because no memory settings are affected. All user programmed options
such as titles and presets remain unchanged. Recalling preset 97 has no effect.
Preset 98 (Programming Autopan Limits) — When a SurveyorVFT is selected on a keyboard, pressing the AP
(autopan) key will start the camera in motion, panning at a predetermined speed.
• To change the speed — Press and hold the AP key while moving the joystick to the desired speed.
When the speed is correct, release the AP button and then the joystick. Each dome may have its own
autopan speed and pressing the autopan key will start the dome panning at the last speed selected for
that dome. (When using a Kollector DVR, shut off AP, move the slider to desired speed and press AP
again.) In continuous rotation only, the autopan command will cause the dome to reverse direction.
• To stop autopanning — Any other pan command will disable autopan. This includes pressing the AP key
again, panning the camera with the joystick, or recalling a preset.
• To set the autopan limits — When a continuous rotation dome is in autopan, it will rotate in a full circle
until autopan is disabled. When an application, such as a wall-mounted camera on a building, does not
require continuous rotation, limits are set to define the left and right boundaries. Storing preset 98 will
bring up a series of prompts to set the left and right autopan limits with the AUX 2 and AUX 3 keys. When
the autopan limits are set and the camera is placed into autopan it will pan until it reaches a limit. It will
then reverse direction until it reaches the opposite limit, repeating this cycle indefinitely.
• To clear the autopan limits — Store preset 98. Press AUX 2 and AUX 3 without panning to set the
autopan limits to the same position. By recording both limits on the same point they will both be deleted.
The dome will now rotate continuously when placed in autopan mode until new limits are programmed.
Recalling presets 98 has no effect.
Preset 99 (Set Manual Pan Limits) — Storing preset 99 will bring up a series of prompts to set the left and right
manual pan limits with the AUX 2 and AUX 3 keys. After these are set, the physical range between these limits is
the valid range. The camera dome will not move outside these limits. Setting pan limits also sets AP limits if the
AP limits are outside the of the pan limits. The only exceptions are prerecorded tours and previously stored
presets. To clear the pan limits, press AUX 2 and AUX 3 without panning.
