AutoDome cameras. Using CTFID, technicians can check
status, change settings, control pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ), and
even update firmware from virtually anywhere along the
video cable. This reduces the time for troubleshooting and
service, while providing more accurate setup and
adjustment, all without running additional wires or boxes.
Simply connect the Configuration Tool’s Coax to the USB
adaptor from your laptop PC. You then have total access
to all of the camera or dome settings. Because Bilinx
Technology uses the standard video signal to transmit and
receive data, it will also work over any passive UTP
installation.

CTFID is supplied with a small hardware adaptor that

operating system. Once the CTFID software is
loaded, the adaptor communicates over the video signal
from any Bilinx-enabled camera or AutoDome. This allows
service personnel to simply tap into the video cable at a
convenient location, anywhere between the camera and
the monitoring station, using a simple T Connector. If
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) is the medium of choice,
the data will still be accessible if using passive UTP
transceivers.
An installer or technician can change any or all camera/
dome settings, such as White Balance, AGC, Shutter
Speed, etc., in online mode while connected to a device.
Alternately, use the offline mode by first downloading and
saving the data so that is can be manipulated and
uploaded to the same or other similar devices.
Whether used for large installations with lots of cameras
that require only one setting to be changed, or small
installations with only one camera that needs all of its
settings changed, the CTFID is a time saver.
CTFID conveniently allows the PC keyboard to become the
user interface for typing settings right into the camera or
dome. This simplifies tasks such as entry of OSD text
descriptors, dome address setting, or camera menu
navigation.
CTFID allows easy transmission of future camera or dome
firmware updates via the video cable. Further reducing
service costs, the installer can update features in the
camera without physically removing the camera; all
updates can be made from a central point, eliminating
travel to each camera’s location.
When purchasing VP-CFGSFT, the USB adaptor and
software are included. VP-USB includes only the USB
