The Pelco PMCQ14A 14" Color Monitor is
a versatile, easy to install, color quad monitor capable of
simultaneous or sequential viewing of four video inputs.
The monitor has four BNC
inputs for cameras or VCRs. Front panel buttons on the
monitor select a full-screen mode and the other three inputs
as insets. The multiple-screen view can be either a quad
display or a picture-in-picture (PIP) display. The PIP
display shows one input in full-screen mode and the other
three inputs as insets.
Other features allow you to
sequence camera views, zoom in on a camera, and freeze a
view on the monitor screen.
Programming from the front
panel lets you change the camera identification, time and
date that appear on the monitor screen.
If you wish to record what is
shown on the monitor screen, you can connect a VCR to a
monitor output.
If you prefer a more complete
system, an optional camera designed specifically for this
monitor is available. The camera includes a lens, mounting
bracket, and 60-foot (18.3m) cable. The camera can be
purchased separately, or system kits are available with a
monitor and 1-4 cameras. |
The optional camera adds
additional versatility to the monitor. The camera has a
mini-DIN conector that plugs into a mating connector on the
monitor. When the camera is used, this leaves the BNC video
connector available for use as a looping output.
The camera includes audio and
alarm features. The audio feature lets the camera capture
sound as well as video, and the alarm function allows alarm
contacts to be connected to the camera rather than run all
the way to the monitor. The audio and alarm combination also
can be used as an intercom system. The alarm lets you
install a "call" button near the camera so that a person on
camera can get attention of the observer. Built-in
microphones and speakers on the camera and monitor permit
the person on the camera and the person watching the monitor
to communicate verbally with each other.
12 VDC power for the camera
is supplied through the min-DIN connector.
The PMCQ14A makes full-color
security monitoring an economical reality.
