Wash Wipe
If Wash Wipe is On then, when the Wash auxiliary is set the MIC will return to a
preset Wash Position activate the washer relay in the PSU and turn on the wiper.
When the auxiliary is turned off again, the MIC will return to its prior position and
turn the wiper off. If Wash Wipe is Off then when the aux is activated the MIC will
simply close the washer relay and remain in its current position.
Auto Alarm
This is used for both single and multi alarm functionality. With Auto Alarm on and
Multi Alarm off, the MIC will monitor the tamper switch line, moving to the
programmable Alarm Position when the connection is grounded. If Auto Alarm is
turned off the MIC will ignore any change in status of the tamper line.
Multi Alarm
With this the user can setup a separate position for each of the 8 alarm inputs. Any
given alarm input will trigger the MIC to move to the position with which it is
associated. To get this functionality working both Auto Alarm and Multi Alarm
should be turned on.
Photocell IR
This mode enables the user to attach an external photocell to the power supply to
control the IR lamps. The device is connected to alarm input 4, meaning that when
the light levels drop sufficiently alarm 4 is triggered, and instead of moving the MIC
detects this as an activation signal for the lamps. When the light levels pick up
again, the alarm will deactivate and the lamps will be turned off. This mode can
enable the user to hide the sensor away from any large external lighting which may
cause the camera to flick in and out of IR mode under Auto conditions.
Camera Power
This can be used to turn the camera module inside the MIC off as required.
Digital Zoom
This is an override for the Digital Zoom Auxiliary, meaning that if On this will allow
digital zoom to be controlled by the aux state, but if off, will never allow digital
zoom no matter what the state of the aux.
Auto Flip
With this enabled the MIC will pan through 180 degrees as it reaches the vertical
position so the user can then tilt down the other side meaning the MIC video is
never inverted. Once the rotation is complete the controls are reversed until a stop
command is received, at which point they are returned to normal.
Auto IR
In this mode the camera module is monitored for its current IR state, as soon as
the light drops sufficiently, the module will automatically put the cut filter in place
and switch to black and white, at which point the MIC will turn on the IR lamps.
Auto Lowlight
If this is turned on, the MIC will decrease its shutter speed as the light levels drop,
rather than increasing the gain. Motion blur on the video can occur if the frame rate
drops sufficiently low, which may not be ideal for a camera which is continually
moving. However if motionless, the images will not have the grain associated with
lowlight conditions. The gain at which a change is made and the lowest frame rate
can be controlled under the Frame Integration section.
Auto Home Controls
After a programmable time with no manual control the MIC can be configured to
either, move to the home position (Preset 1) or start tour / pattern 1. With Auto
Home turned off the MIC will simply remain stationary until the next user input.
The amount of time before this takes place can be set using the input boxes and
the Set Time button.
