Page: 9 / 80

Introduction
The information in this manual covers the installation, configuration and operation of the SurveyorVFT™
Camera Dome. This system should only be installed by a qualified technician using common hand tools and
approved materials and wiring methods in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, state
and local wiring codes. All interconnecting equipment or accessories must be UL Listed. Any mention in this
manual of alarm inputs/outputs have not been evaluated by UL to be used for burglar alarm functionality.
NOTE: Read all instructions before beginning any installation.
The SurveyorVFT is a compact, lightweight intelligent security device comprised of a camera, pan/tilt drive,
receiver and CPU-based electronics all in an attractive and covert enclosure. SurveyorVFT can be
programmed and operated using any V1300X/V1400X/1500 series of NOVA™/Pilot communication devices
and enhanced Vicoax™ II protocol and ViconNet
®
digital management systems. SurveyorVFT is sold in a
variety of prepackaged configurations with choices in environment, mounting configuration, camera type, and
lower dome types. Refer to Table 1 for a complete list of model numbers.
The basic SurveyorVFT provides video transmission over coaxial cable. Options are available that provide
TCP/IP (ViconNet), fiber-optic and twisted-pair (UTP/NVT) video transmission. Each of these options includes
an interface board that allows the specific type of video transmission. An appropriate receiver is required for
UTP/NVT and fiber optic versions. The ViconNet option provides support for direct network connection to
Kollector® Elite Digital Video Recorders and ViconNet Workstations via ViconNet Version 5 software. A pre-
installed LAN interface board allows direct plug-in to a system network hub, switch or router. Video from the
camera is available to all network recorders and workstations for live view and recording. The Vicon
SurveyorVFT camera dome can be used in conjunction with competitive PTZ drivers through DIP switch
selection. Audio input capability is available on the ViconNet version.
The SurveyorVFT is designed for easy snap-in installation. The drive simply snaps into the housing. When
removed, the housing retains all programmed functions in its on-board memory. The customer interface
board snaps down for easy access and the PCB provides removable terminal blocks for simple wiring
connections. Several mounting accessories are available to fit almost any installation need.
There are four
camera types available, each with NTSC and PAL versions. The basic model is a 22X high-
resolution camera/lens (CA in model number). Another 22X model is available with ExView™ CCD
technology (22XEX). The third version is a 23X day/night camera/lens with wide dynamic range. The fourth
model is a 35X day/night camera/lens with wide dynamic range and image stabilization
. See Technical
Information for camera features.
Refer to tables below for specific model numbers and options available. Call your Vicon representative for
model availability. All versions use the same firmware for programming and operation. For programming,
refer to the most recent version of SurveyorVFT Programming Manual XX134-40. The SurveyorVFT Camera
Dome is compatible with the SVFT-UWM and SVFT-WM Wall Mounts, SVFT-UCM Ceiling Mount, SVFT-IC-
KT In-Ceiling Mount, SVFT-UCP Ceiling Panel, SVFT-URM-1 Roof Mount, and SVFT-UPM-1 Parapet Mount.
SurveyorVFT meets requirements for an FCC Class A computing device. SurveyorVFT complies with the fire
code of certain local municipalities. The fire code for any given municipality should be verified for
SurveyorVFT’s compliance at the installation site.
The electronic components within the SurveyorVFT are sensitive to damage from ESD (Electro-Static
Discharge). Appropriate precautions and proper use of a ground strap should be observed at all times when
handling the unit or its subassemblies.
