Product Overview
The SpeedDome LT camera dome (Figure Chapter 1-1)
is part of a programmable network of camouflaged cam-
eras. These devices enable security personnel, from a
remote console, to track programmed targets (presets),
near or far, even in low light. Small and unobtrusive, the
dome can be used in facilities such as retail stores,
casinos, manufacturing facilities, hotels, and hospitals,
especially where appearance is important.
Main Components
The dome consists of the following assemblies:
•Carriage assembly. This assembly mounts directly
into the housing. The carriage assembly contains the
dome’s power supply and pan motor; the power
supply provides regulated dc power to the eyeball
assembly. The Unicard PC board is the interface
between the dome and the console and receives all
video, ac, and data. This board also provides the
dome address and transient protection and is the
central controller for all dome functions, controlling
360° pan movement and storing targets and patterns.
An LED indicator on the Unicard enables the
installer to verify when power and data are available.
•Eyeball assembly. This assembly fits into the
carriage assembly and contains the dome’s tilt motor
and electronics used to operate the eyeball, storing
automatic camera patterns and directing camera
video to the composite cable via the Unicard. The
rotating eyeball, gloss black and 190cm (7.5”) in
diameter, houses the 1/4” CCD camera assembly. A
clear, acrylic “contact lens” mounts flush with the
contour of the eyeball to prevent detection of the
camera’s viewing position.
Camera Options
The dome, as shipped, contains one of four different
CCD cameras.
•Color NTSC (60Hz)
•Color PAL (50Hz)
•Monochrome EIA (60Hz)
•Monochrome CCIR (50Hz)
These cameras have 12X optical zoom with continuous
auto focus and backlight compensation. The color
camera is fully digital, has no field adjustments, and has
better light sensitivity and picture resolution (430 TV
lines) due to Digital Signal Processing (DSP).

Indoor Mounting Methods
The dome’s housing mounts directly to indoor hard or
tile ceilings using hardware supplied with the dome or
to one of several optional mounting structures. These
methods facilitate quick installation after site prep-
aration, enabling wiring to be done during rough
building construction.
Hard/Tile Ceiling Mounting
The dome’s housing can be surface mounted directly to
sheet rock ceilings, wood ceilings, or ceilings with spe-
cial finishes (Figure Chapter 1-3). The housing can also
be mounted in a section of tile ceiling using a ceiling T-
bar among other components (Figure Chapter 1-4).
Mounting hardware varies with the type of installation
kit.
Figure Chapter 1-3. Surface mounting to hard
ceilings
Figure Chapter 1-4. Surface mounting to tile
ceilings
Mounting Structures (Optional)
The dome’s chassis can be mounted to several indoor
ceiling mounting structures (Figure Chapter 1-5). These
structures are as follows:
Product
Code Mounting Structure
RH105-8 Bubbles. The following bubbles are available:
RU105 Clear bubble
RU106 Silver bubble
RU107 Smoked bubble
RU108 Gold bubble
RHI2X2*Drop ceiling 2x2 mount. Allows chassis to be
recessed into dome housing that fits a 2x2
opening.
RHICM*Hard ceiling mount with adjustable ceiling
kit. For sheet rock, wood, or ceilings with
special finishes, a hard ceiling housing is
available. The 20mm lip of this housing
enhances the appearance of the dome in well
designed ceilings.
RHIPM*Pendant mount with I-beam clamp. For direct
installation to hard ceilings, an I-beam, or other
support structure. A section of 38mm pipe is
added to the hard ceiling housing to form a
pendant mount.
RH400*2x2 plenum dome shroud. Covers electrical
cables within plenum.
RH530*T-bar molding kit. Permits installing a dome to
a hard ceiling using hardware that a “Drop
Ceiling 2x2 Mount” mounts to.
* These options come in white but can be easily painted to
match decor.
