Abstract: A pressure equalizing housing may be used to house equipement (e.g., one or more mechanical and/or electronic devices). The pressure equalizing housing may include a pressure equalization device to provide pressure equalization between an internal pressure inside of the housing and an ambient pressure outside of the housing. The pressure equalization prevents relatively humid air outside of the housing from passing into the housing and thus prevents or substantially minimizes condensation inside of the housing.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of improving the speed of downloading a control command and data on a video dome, a switch, recording medium and another video monitoring system device via a transmitting medium. SOLUTION: A system and a method of controlling a video camera is constituted in such a way that it includes a step 604 of transmitting the command data to a video apparatus being able to be controlled via a transmission medium during a vertical blanking period of the video signal, a step 606 of receiving the command by the controllable video apparatus, and a step 608 of transmitting response data in response to the command data from the video apparatus being able to be controlled via the transmitting medium during the vertical blanking period. Using a coding format using data having a narrow bit width in UTC protocols enables a long propagation delay without generating errors due to interference, and the length of the transmitting medium in a system is prolonged.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system that improve the low-speed control stability of a video camera assembly, including a video camera, a tilt motor operable to tilt the video camera and a pan motor operable to pan the video camera. A first encoder is coupled to one of the tilt motor and pan motor. The first encoder outputs a plurality of signals having corresponding signal edges, based on a rotation speed of the one of the tilt motor and pan motor. A first controller is in electrical communication with the first encoder. The first controller determines a speed of the one of the tilt motor and pan motor at least in part by correlating a time period between detection of the first edge and detection of the second edge to the speed of the at least one tilt motor and pan motor.

Abstract: The multiple image video surveillance camera system that uses a common set of sequencing logic to sample multiple imaging devices or multiple pre-set image windows within a large high-resolution imaging device is provided (32, 34 of fig. 2). The images are multiplexed into a single frame or switched on a frame-by-frame basis at the imaging device. The switched frames are marked or encoded (36 of fig. 2) to facilitate separation for individual image display. This configuration allows one camera processor or sequencer to support multiple imagers and eliminates the need for a separate multiplexer, which lowers the system cost. Using a single transmission media (36 of fig. 2) to the video recording or display devices significantly reduces system installation cost.
