CCTV Introduction to the CCTV

Introduction
Make your home and what you do safe. Closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems are particularly important in all installations where the safety of people and things is important. There are thus many applications of a CCTV system, from the video control of areas where a high degree of safety is required (banks, shops, protected areas) to monitoring the home (house, garden, garage). More and more in residential areas they are being used with video door entry and anti-intrusion systems. In recent years, thanks to great developments in electronics, CCTV systems have developed rapidly making high-performance functions and devices such as DVRs and multiplexers to manage cameras available to the user. As we will see in this guide, the key parts of a CCTV system are the monitor and the cameras. The name Closed-circuit television derives from the fact that the monitor only displays the pictures from the cameras of the same system. A CCTV installation is thus completely independent. As well as the monitor and cameras, today a whole range of devices is available which can optimise the management of the cameras and the whole system allowing the user to personalise functions. Responding to the growing demand for security, especially in the residential and small commercial sectors, BTicino is launching a range of items for CCTV and supplies new possibilities of fitting in both with video door entry units and with the My Home house automation system. The BTicino CCTV guide allows the installer to make a state-of-the-art CCTV system and helps him to choose the necessary devices correctly. This document is structured so that it is easy to consult both by anyone approaching CCTV for the first time and by experts in the field and is divided into the following sections:
Introduction to CCTV and typical applications Guide to selecting the system
- Define your needs This section describes some characteristic aspects of a CCTV system and helps to identify system requirements. - Tables and system examples Once the system requirements have been established, the devices suitable for the installation to be made are identified and selected. This part of the guide also gives tables and diagrams which allow designing the system showing the solutions to be adopted to optimise the functions. Catalogue Once the devices needed to make up the system have been identified, this part of the guide identifies the code numbers needed for the order.
Technical features
This is a more detailed section which gives the detailed technical features of all the devices. It can be consulted when there are special requirements.
When reading these pages the reader will be gradually guided to understand everything that the BTicino system can offer, so that he can set up a system immediately.
Simplicity and reliability at the installers service
New CCTV range
Complete and competitive answer for the residential and small commercial sectors and small industry.
New technologies and new functions. New flush-mounted cameras in Living International, Light and Light Tech. Can fit in with the My Home house automation system.

Typical applications
When making a CCTV system it is difficult to identify a standard system because each application requires different solutions and devices. BTicino offers a range of products which can be used to make CCTV systems for video monitoring which can satisfy all installation requirements. The types of user are divided into: - Residential - Small commercial sector. - Small industry.

In home applications the CCTV is often used to control the main access ways such as gates, entrance doors and garage; but also to monitor the perimeter of the home to display what is happening inside the property. Another typical application is to use the CCTV system to collect and transmit pictures over a distance by means of internet of telephone line. In this way one can display at a distance what is happening inside or outside the home, e.g. following the activation of an alarm contact (My Home application).

In small commercial installations (supermarkets, offices, small bank branches), the main aim of the CCTV system is the internal check to avoid theft or discourage acts of vandalism. The function of checking accesses and exits, or cash registers, to reduce the risk of robbery, is also very important.
In all these applications video recording is practically obligatory to discover who has carried out any illegal acts. When choosing the cameras it is better to use colour cameras for easier identification of things and people.

System devices: 1 Camera with traverse and protection. 2 Living International camera. 3 Living International camera. 4 Minidome camera. 5 Minidome camera. 6 Camera with protection. 7 Monitor. 8 Matrix. 9 VCR. Control station
Unlike the previous cases, in industrial applications the greatest requirement is to check the company parameter and the driveways. Using the possibility of video recording the pictures, the CCTV system in fact expands the anti-theft system increasing the degree of safety.
A typical request in this type of installation is to have independent control and display stations so that the individual stations can select different cameras without affecting the other control stations. A typical example is made up of a system with three control stations; warehouse, porters office and management which need to display different rooms.
Introduction to the CCTV
MY HOME
Fitting in with The functions which My Home can perform include the My Home the possibility of displaying the state of the home at a distance, with the cameras of the CCTV system, using system
a Personal Computer connected to the Internet. The remote display of the cameras occurs using the Web Server device in the home which, suitably interrogated
at a distance by the Personal Computer, allows the user to select the camera required and display the picture transmitted. To guarantee privacy, the connection between the Personal Computer and the Web Server is password protected.

CCTV Guide to selecting the system

Define your needs
There are many different types of CCTV system so that it is difficult to indicate standards. It is also limiting to give solutions to measure for some type systems. In this guide we will give immediately understood working tools, which can quickly make the installer independent in making a system and identifying its features. To design a CCTV system correctly it is useful to pose simple questions which help to identify the design guidelines. This section summarises the basic questions to be asked when making an on-site inspection. The last page of the guide gives a summary card to be photocopied or cut out where the answers to these questions can be noted down, to give a useful reminder of the features of the system to be made.
1) What are the lighting conditions of the scene to be filmed? Choosing the camera (see table 1 page 13).
Poor lighting < 5 Lux
Good lighting 5 Lux
2) Is the lighting constant or variable? Choosing the lens (see table 1/2/3/4)
Constant lighting The lighting level is guaranteed by artificial light sources
Variable lighting E.g. Difference between day and night
3) What are the main features of the scene to be filmed? Choosing the lens (see table 1/2/3/4)

7) What devices are needed to install and finish your system? Choosing the accessories
Installation with motorised traverse and protection
Installation on pivoting bracket
Installation on pivoting bracket with protection

Main functions and system examples
Once the requirements of the system to be made have been established, one can identify principle diagrams to start from to select the devices to be used in the system. This section gives gradually more complicated diagrams which show various devices, whose features we will describe below. Tables are also given to make up the system which give a very intuitive guide to the selection of the individual items to use. The codes are given for all the items in the tables, so that a precise list can be made of the devices and the Catalogue section can be consulted easily.

Display of eight cameras on a monitor: the camera switcher
Camera Switcher
The camera switcher can be used to display pictures from several cameras on a single screen. Function-Performance Displays the pictures from several cameras in automatic sequence on in manual mode selecting the
cameras involved. If the automatic sequence is used the setting of the display switching time can vary and the cameras not involved in the cycling can be excluded.
Display and recording of four cameras on a single monitor: the screen divider

Screen divider
2 1 4 3
Function-Performance Displays the pictures from the 4 cameras on one monitor at the same time. The monitor can play the pictures during the recording and previously recorded pictures can also be displayed on the monitor.
The screen divider can be used to display several pictures on a single screen simultaneously.
11

Display and recording of nine cameras on a monitor: the multiplexer
9-channel multiplexer
A multiplexer must be used to manage several functions simultaneously. Function-Performance Allows a certain number of signals to share the same transmission channel and also allows the simultaneous
recording of the pictures from the cameras and their playing or display by single camera or in groups on a monitor. The triplex multiplexer can perform the three functions of recording, playing and display simultaneously.
Display and management of several cameras on several control stations: the matrix
Matrix
The matrix is used to manage a large number of cameras and monitors. It can manage 8 inputs and 6 outputs; using matrix expansions it can manage a maximum of 32 inputs and 6 outputs. Function-Performance The system provides a CCTV service with eight filming
points (can be expanded to 32) whose pictures, sent to a video matrix and processed, are made available in six monitoring points. The matrix can process the pictures in sequence, in the times and periods laid down by a series of programs implemented by the user in its memory.

Tables for choosing the devices
Once the system features have been identified by means of the Define your needs section, select all the devices needed using simple tables. In choosing the cameras and the display and recording modes, the reader is guided to the selection of the device most suitable for his needs by means of the description of typical system situations. Diagrams are supplied to select the lens. These diagrams can best identify the features of the lens to be used in the various installations. The diagrams give for all the lens, depending on the distance of the scene to be filmed by the camera, the corresponding horizontal field of view. Suitable examples show how to deduce the vertical field of view once the horizontal one is known. In this way one has all the elements necessary to establish whether the lens identified are suitable for the features of the scene to be filmed. A collection of system diagrams is supplied downstream of this section. They show the use of the various devices in the catalogue, explaining the use and supplying a valid base for most of the installations.

The following application can display the pictures from three different cameras on a single monitor. Camera 1 is moved by a motorised traverse which can move the camera on both the vertical and horizontal axis. The zoom can be adjusted because it has a lens with motorised zoom.
Cameras 2 and 3 both have a lens with motorised zoom; as camera 2 is installed inside it requires no protection. Both the traverse movement and the zoom adjustment are managed by a control pad.

Function of the equaliser/optoinsulator Diagram A
equaliser/optoinsulator
The following application allows understanding of the equaliser/optoinsulator function. In diagram (A), as the camera and monitor earths are in points which are physically far apart (not equipotential), there is an
interference current on the video signal; using the equaliser/optoinsulator this current is cut to a minimum, making it zero.

This device can also be used to amplify the amplitude of the video signal. Looking at diagram (B), the video signal is attenuated because of the long stretch between the camera and the monitor. To solve this
problem use the equaliser/optoinsulator which amplifies the amplitude of the video signal and recovers the resolution lost.

CCTV Technical features

Cameras
The camera is the eye of a CCTV system. It performs the important function of capturing the pictures which can then be displayed using other devices (monitors). The cameras are equipped with a CCD sensor which is the heart of the device; it can convert a light signal into an electronic signal. Our CCTV system uses cameras equipped with CCD sensor in monochrome or colour version. Below we will try to explain the basic parameters to be considered to choose this device correctly: 1) Type of power supply Our cameras are of two types: 1) supplied at 12V; 2) supplied at 230V. 2) Type of surroundings: indoors or outdoors. Depending on the type of surroundings one must choose the most suitable cameras, as shown in table 1 on page 13. For outdoors there are housings which protect against rain, dust and atmospheric agents; they also have a heating element to avoid internally the condensation of water on the glass. The camera performance is influenced by the following features: - Resolution To quantify the resolution of a camera consider the number of lines this device can display. The greater the number of lines the greater the camera resolution. Depending on the needs evaluate the degree of resolution necessary. If for example the filming screen is very large a greater resolution will be needed to identify small details. - Camera filming field The camera filming field depends on the lens focus. The performance of a camera in poor lighting is influenced by: 1) Camera sensitivity (e.g. black and white cameras are more sensitive than colour cameras). 2) Type of lens used (Lenses with F less than 1.0 have better performance than lenses with minimum F of 1.2). 3) Lighting of the surroundings. The cameras must work with suitable lighting. For black and white cameras IR spot lights can be used which project an infrared ray perceptible by the cameras but not by the human eye. For 12V cameras use power supply 392100 and cables with the following sections (star cabling from the power supply):

Lenses
Even if the lens is considered a camera accessory it plays a very important role inside a CCTV system and if not chosen with care can affect the system performance. From the mechanical point of view this device is made up of a set of lenses which can modify the behaviour of the light rays which cross it focusing the picture on the sensor. To chose the lens correctly some fundamental parameters must be remembered: 1) The filming field necessary The lens must be suitable for the distances and amplitudes of the area to be filmed. The parameter to be considered is the focal length f. The most suitable focal length to film a given scene can be obtained from the following formula: Focal length = Horizontal dimension of the ccd x D B Where: D is the distance between the camera and the filming point (see D in the figure). B is the width of the field to be filmed (Horizontal dimension (see B in the figure). The ccd dimensions can normally be obtained from the technical features of each camera, starting from the sensor format, which may be: 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 or 2/3. The horizontal dimensions of the CCD for the various formats are: 1/4 : 3.6mm 1/3 : 4.8mm 1/2 : 6.4mm 2/3 : 8.8mm Our cameras are all 1/3. Example: - Camera with 1/3 sensor - D = 14m - B = 7m The focal length is: 4.8 x 14 = 9.6mm 7 Once the focal length has been calculated, select the lens with focal length immediately below. In our example it would be 8mm. 2) Lighting conditions of the surroundings. It is important to consider the type of lighting (fixed or variable), any reflections, natural or artificial lights in the room where the camera is installed. For example if the lighting conditions in which the lens will work are fixed, a manual lens can be used, because once it has been set it requires no further adjustment (setting the iris sets the quantity of light which reaches the sensor). On the other hand if there are changes in the type of lighting the iris would be set; a lens with manual iris is normally used in indoor installations. To solve this problem very quickly and automatically just use lenses with automatic iris (autoiris) which can set the iris automatically as a function of the variations of light. [Refer to the lens choosing tables] 3) Luminosity of the lens. The luminosity of a lens is its capacity to pass more or less light on the camera sensor. This feature is expressed by the parameter F. For lenses with adjustable iris (manually or automatically) the parameter F varies in an interval between two values: Fmin and Fmax. In low lighting conditions one must consider Fmin. The smaller Fmin (e.g. 1.0) the more the lens can let light pass. (a lens with Fmin of 1.0 is better than one with Fmin of 1.4). In bright conditions one must consider Fmax. The larger Fmax (e.g. 360) the more the lens can close. (a lens with Fmax of 360 is better than one with Fmax of 64). The lenses used in our system are: - Varifocal lenses : can vary the focal length on installation depending on what must be framed. - Autoiris lenses : The iris opening/closing is set automatically to guarantee better response when there is variable incident light. This lens allows best filming in different lighting conditions. - Varifocal autoiris lens: Can perform both functions described above. - Semi-aspherical varifocal autoiris lens: The lenses have been specially designed to give good performance in poor lighting. - Lenses with motorised zoom: The lens zoom and focusing are set using a remote keypad.
37

The autoiris focus is set in poor lighting conditions. In fact a focus set in poor lighting conditions is also correct in bright conditions (because the depth of the field with poor lighting is lower than that with bright light). On the other hand, a focus set in bright conditions can give rise to unfocused pictures when there is a lack of light. It is therefore a good idea to focus in the evening or putting a light filter (e.g. a very dark glass or several glasses) in front of the lens.

Monitor
The monitor is a device which can convert the video signal into a picture. CCTV monitors are designed with components which can guarantee a long product lifetime even with operation 24 hours a day, unlike a normal television. Two characteristic parameters of a monitor are: THE FORMAT and THE RESOLUTION. The format of a monitor is the measurement of the diagonal in inches. The resolution (horizontal) of a screen is the number of picture points which can be displayed for each line of the screen. Usually the resolution is expressed in vertical lines, in the central part of the screen, where the distortions are minimum. Remember it is not true that the larger the format the higher the resolution, because the screen dimensions do not influence the clarity of the picture because a format is only chosen on the basis of the operator viewing distance. The resolution of the picture which can be displayed on a monitor also depends on the other devices in the system. For example, having a monitor with a resolution of 1000 lines and a camera of 380 lines, the camera picture which can be displayed on the monitor will have a resolution of 380 lines. With a camera with a resolution of 380 lines one should use a monitor with equal or higher resolution. If we use a device with lower resolution the quality of the picture from the camera is reduced.

Camera switchers
Camera switchers are electronic devices which are mainly used to manage the cyclical display on the monitor of all the cameras connected to the system (max. 8). The main advantage is that just one video input can be used, thus displaying the pictures from the cameras on one monitor. The pictures can be displayed either in manual cyclical sequence, operating the camera switcher manually and displaying the pictures of the cameras required, or in automatic sequence, being able to set the switching time between the picture of one camera and another. The alarmable camera switchers have alarm inputs; activating an alarm calls the camera associated to that alarm with absolute priority.

Video signal connection The multiplexer can receive the video signals from 16 cameras and the playback signal from the VCR. It also has the monitor output, the REC output for recording on VCR and a spot-out output for continuous display on the screen. The CVBS can be used for the PB input; the REC output goes to the CVBS connector. Both the NTSC and the PAL system can be used for the video input signal. Cameras of the two systems should not be connected to the same device at the same time. The following figure shows the connection of the video signals between multiplexer, monitor and VCR.

B/W Quad Processor
Alarm input There are 4 alarm sensors for 4 channels; all these alarm inputs are normally open and short-circuiting them to the earth means operating the alarm. We recommend connecting the alarm input in the same sequence as the camera BNC input. When any alarm signal is received, this B/W divider behaves as follows: - The picture of the channel involved is displayed on full screen. - The channel LED and the alarm LED light up. - The buzzer sounds. When two or more alarms are received the B/W divider displays in quads. When the alarm time has elapsed the B/W divider returns to normal conditions, i.e. to the situation before the alarms.
