VDN-5085 Series Description

The FLEXIDOME 5000 camera is the ultimate solution for virtually any indoor or outdoor surveillance application. This vandal-resistant dome camera uses a high performance 960H 1/3-inch CCD sensor with a resolution of 720TVL. The sensor, the high dynamic range engine and the advanced image processing technology combine to provide a detailed image with outstanding accuracy in colour reproduction even under harsh lighting conditions. True day/night performance ensures the highest image quality possible at any time, day or night. The camera is easy to install and ready to use, and offers the best solution for demanding scene conditions.


VDN-5085 Series System overview

The cast-aluminium housing, polycarbonate dome, and hardened inner liner can withstand the equivalent of 55 kg (120 lbs) of force. The enclosure contains the full-featured camera and integral varifocal lens. Ideal for outdoor use, the cameras are protected against water and dust to IP66 and NEMA Type 4X standards. The camera enclosure provides the extra protection necessary for applications such as schools, banks, prisons, parking garages, retail and industrial buildings.

Installation is quick and easy, as the camera comes completely assembled and ready to use. Using the proprietary pan/tilt/rotation mechanism, installers can select the exact field of view. Mounting options are numerous, including surface, 4S (USA), wall, corner and suspended ceiling. The compact, sleek design and virtually flush-mount appearance complements any decor.

The camera is supplied ready to operate. Six distinct pre-programmed operational modes are stored in the camera. Recall the mode that suits your application for optimized performance.


VDN-5085 Series Functions

Detail in extreme lighting

In harsh lighting, the difference between the brightest and the darkest parts of a scene can be extreme. To produce a clear picture in these conditions, the CCD sensor in the camera generates two images; one long exposure to resolve details in the scene’s darkest areas, and one short exposure to resolve details in the scene’s brightest areas. The advanced image processing technology in the camera combines these dual shutter images, mixing pixels from each exposure to produce the most detailed image possible. The superior wide dynamic range for all lighting conditions reveals details previously unseen.

Day/Night mode

The day/night mode provides enhanced night viewing by increasing the IR sensitivity. The IR filter can switch from colour to monochrome automatically by either sensing the illumination level or via the alarm input. The filter can be switched manually via the alarm input, through the camera menu or via the Bilinx coaxial control interface. An internal through-the-lens IR detector enhances the monochrome mode stability, as it prevents reverting to the colour mode when IR illumination is dominant. IR contrast is also measured and used to handle reflected IR light in outdoor scenes.

Ease of installation

The lens wizard helps focus the lens at the maximum opening to ensure proper back-focus is maintained throughout the 24-hour cycle. No special tools or filters are required.

Six independent, pre-programmed operating modes support typical applications, but are fully programmable for individual situations. Switching between modes is easy via Bilinx or the external alarm input.

Several other features are available that make installation easy:

• Video BNC and power connectors on flying leads.
• A built-in test pattern generator produces signals to test and fault-find cables.
• A multi-language On-Screen Display (OSD).
• A high efficiency power supply improves maximum operating temperature

Cable compensation is used to avoid the need for amplifiers in long distance coaxial connections up to 1000 m (3000 ft). It can prevent the image quality degradation caused by signal losses from long cable lengths.

•

Bilinx is a bidirectional communication capability embedded in the video signal of this camera. Installers can check status, change camera settings and even update firmware from virtually anywhere along the video cable. Bilinx reduces service and installation time, provides for more accurate set-up and adjustment, and improves overall performance. In addition, Bilinx uses the standard video cable to transmit alarm and status messages, providing superior performance without additional installation steps.

Ideal picture performance

There are many settings available to help fine-tune the picture performance to match your installation environment. These include:
 

 

Privacy masking

Fifteen different privacy zones allow specific parts of a scene to be blocked. Pre-program any part of the scene to be masked.

Video Motion Detection

The built-in video motion detector allows you to select four programmable areas with sensitivity thresholds. When motion is detected, alarms can be displayed in the video signal or an alarm message can be transmitted via Bilinx.

Lens Options

With this dome camera, there is no compromise between scene coverage and aesthetics of the camera. The camera brings the widest choice of lens selection. Choose lenses between 2.8 to 10.5 mm for wide coverage, 9 to 22 mm VF lens for standard coverage, or 18 to 50 mm for long-rang coverage.

Typical applications

• Entrance foyer/lobby with glass
• Warehouses and loading bays
• Prisons and correctional facilities
• Airport locations including:
– baggage handling
– fuel and equipment storage
• Stadium
