video of wide areas such as parking lots, shopping malls and sports facilities. It features a 1/3” CMOS image sensor, 23x optical
zoom, 16x digital zoom and delivers 720p high denition video. The camera is also equipped with enhanced imaging features such
as digital wide dynamic range (D-WDR) and 3D digital noise reduction (3D-DNR) to reduce video noise, as well as true day/night
(ICR) to capture sharp detailed images in both daytime and low-light nighttime conditions. The camera features:
• 1.3 MP CMOS image sensor
• 720p HD-TVI and CVBS video output
• 23X optical zoom, 16X digital zoom
• Supports up the coax (UTC) controller
• Privacy Masking, 3D DNR, D WDR, EIS
• 3D intelligent positioning
• True Day&Night
NOTE To view or record video from this camera, an HD-TVI compatible DVR is required. These DVRs are available through your
camera supplier.
1.1 Features
Coaxial Control
The speed dome with a specied DVR or controller can be sent the control signals via coaxial cable (BNC cable).
OSD (on-screen display)
The on-screen display is a text image superimposed on video. The text displays status information and conguration menus.
Self-adaptive Protocol
The camera is compatible with PELCO-D, PELCO-P, AD Manchester, PRIVATE-Code protocols, etc., and is capable of being self-
adaptive to these protocols without selecting protocol by DIP switch settings.
Keyboard Control
The pan/tilt movement and zoom actions of camera can be controlled by the control keyboard, DVR, matrix, etc.
Limit Stops
The dome can be programmed to move within the limit stops (left/right, up/down) which are congurable by the control keyboard,
DVR or client application software.

SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
Scan Modes
The dome provides 5 scanning modes: pan scanning, tilt scanning, frame scanning, random scanning and panorama scanning. The
scanning speed can be set by OSD menu from level 1 to 40, with the corresponding speed ranging from 1°/second to 40°/second.
Preset Freeze Frame
This feature freezes the scene on the monitor when moving to a preset. This allows for smooth transition from one preset scene to
another and also guarantees that masked areas will not be revealed when moving to a preset.
Presets
Each of the user-denable presets can be programmed to use pan, tilt, camera settings and other settings. When a preset is called,
the dome will automatically move to the dened position. The user can add, modify, delete and call each preset.
Label Display
The on-screen label of the azimuth/elevation, zoom and other operations can be setup by menus and displayed on the monitor.
Auto Flip
In manual tracking mode, when a target object moves directly beneath the dome, the dome will automatically rotate 90 degrees in
the horizontal direction to maintain continuity of tracking.
Privacy Mask
The privacy mask allows the user to dene areas of the eld of view that cannot be seen by the operator of the camera. A masked
area will move with pan and tilt functions and automatically adjust in size when the lens zoom changes.
3D Intelligent Positioning
The camera can be controlled with a mouse and the PRIVATE-Code protocol. Clicking a spot can direct the camera position the spot
in the center of the image. When a rectangular area is selected with the left mouse button, the camera will move to its center and
enlarge it. Right click the mouse to zoom in. The scroll wheel can control lens zoom. Mouse cursor movement can also control zoom
eects.
Proportional Pan / Tilt
Proportional pan/tilt automatically reduces or increases the pan and tilt speeds according to the amount of zoom. At telephoto
zoom settings, the pan and tilt speeds will be slower than at wide zoom settings. This keeps the image from moving too fast on the
live view image when there is a large amount of zoom.
Auto Focus
Auto focus enables the camera to focus automatically to maintain clear video images.
3HD-TVI 23x Zoom PTZ Camera User Manual
DAY/NIGHT Auto-switch
The camera provides color images during the day. As light diminishes at night, it switches to night mode and delivers black and
white images with high quality. You can also switch it to NIGHT mode manually to increase the sensitivity in low light conditions.
Slow Shutter
Slow shutter function extends the exposure time to accumulate more light when the light condition is low. Thus, the image can be
brighter.
Backlight Compensation (BLC)
If the camera focuses on an object against strong backlight, the object will be too dark to be seen clearly. The BLC function can
compensate light to the object in the front to make it clear, but this causes the over-exposure of the background where the light is
strong.
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)
The wide dynamic range function helps the camera provide clear images even under back light conditions. When there are both
very bright and very dark areas simultaneously in the eld of view, WDR balances the brightness level of the entire image and
provide clear image detail.
White Balance (WB)
White balance is the white rendition function of the camera to adjust the color temperature according to the environment
automatically. It can remove the unrealistic color casts in the image.
Patrol
The camera provides up to 8 patrols. In each patrol, you can specify the scanning track by a group of user-dened presets, with the
scanning speed between two presets and the dwell time at the preset separately programmable.
Pattern
A pattern is a memorized, repeating series of pan, tilt, zoom, and preset functions that can be recalled with a command from a
controller or automatically by a congured function (alarm, park, time task, or power-up). By default the focus and iris are in auto
status during the preset is being memorized.
Power-o Memory
This feature causes the dome to resume its previous position or status after power is restored. By default setting, the dome supports
the power-o memory capability with the dwell time of 3 minutes.
Time Task
A time task is a pre-congured action that can be performed automatically at a specic date and time. The programmable actions
include: preset 1-8, pattern 1-4, patrol 1-4, pan scan, tilt scan, random scan, frame scan, panorama scan, day/night mode or none.

Mounting brackets are sold separately.
2.1 Set the DIP switches
DIP switches, located in the housing are used to setup the RS-485 network address (switches 1 - 5), baud rate (switches 6 - 7), and
protocol (switches 8 - 9). These switches can also be setup manually or through the DVR PTZ interface.
The default DIP switch settings congure the camera for:
—RS-485 address: 0
—Baud Rate: 2400
—RS-485 termination resistor: O
Using the tables below, set the switches in accordance with the following:
• The address of each device (camera) on the RS-485 network must be dierent.
• The baud rate must be the same for each device on the RS-485 network.
• The DIP switches 1 - 9, used for setting the address, baud rate, and protocol of the RS-485 network, function logically in this
way: ON=1 and OFF=0.
• The camera is self-adaptive to the Pelco-P, Pelco-D and Private-Code protocols. You don’t have to set the DIP switches for these
RS-485 control protocol.
• DIP switch 10 provides RS-485 end-of-line termination and cannot be set using the DVR interface. If used, it must be set by
opening the camera enclosure and manually setting the switch to ON.
