SpeedDome Ultra 8:
Equipped with wide dynamic range, true Day/Night
and Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS), SpeedDome
Ultra 8 with 35x and 540 TVL allows users to see
farther and clearer than ever before. A 12x digital
magnifier with 35x optical zoom yields a total zoom
of 420x. This series also features privacy zones,
on-screen programming, alarm inputs and DirectSet
for fast access to the most frequently used functions.
A choice of black or white camera assemblies is
available.
SpeedDome Ultra 8 with 22x delivers excellent
color images in scenes as dim as .02 lux. This series
combines 22x optical zoom and 11x digital zoom for
242x total zoom and has low-light capability of .004
lux. Like the SpeedDome Ultra 8 with 35x, this series
also includes DirectSet, privacy zones, on-screen
programming and alarm inputs.
SpeedDome Optima:
Powered with 22x optical zoom and 11x digital
zoom for a total of 242x zoom, SpeedDome Optima
delivers high quality color images. The series includes
an alarm imput, 96 user-programmable presets three
patterns, and a pre-wired harness for easy installation and
servicing. Compatible with any American Dynamics
controller or matrix/switcher controller system,
Optima is available in outdoor models only.
SpeedDome Optima LT:
SpeedDome Optima LT includes the same features
as a standard dome — all for an impressively low
price. Optima LT renders high quality color images
and offers up to 242x zoom (22x optical and
11x digital zoom), 96 user-programmable presets and
three patterns. It is compatible with most American
Dynamics controllers or matrix/switcher controller
systems and designed for indoor use only.
S
peedDome programmable dome cameras give you a comprehensive view that you
simply cannot get from a fixed camera. Our technology delivers the details of your
target, zooming in or out in less than a second to capture the image you need the instant an alarm
goes off. Our innovative Zoom-Adjusted Programming (ZAP) lets you pan, tilt and zoom in every
direction, automatically adjusting the pan and tilt speed in proportion to the zoom. Additional
features enable you to conduct a virtual patrol of your facility whether or not someone is manning
the controls. Auto-focus with manual override renders a clear picture every time. From the most
distant corner of a parking garage to the maze of hallways throughout a building, SpeedDome
programmable dome cameras take you everywhere you need to see.

A NOTE ABOUT THE DOME ASSEMBLY:
A dome assembly is comprised of two
individual components:
1. Camera Module
2. I/O Board
Mounting Base
We offer an I/O Board
Mounting Base which
makes installation as easy as
screwing in a lightbulb with
just three simple steps:
1) Connect the composite
cables for power, communication
and video to the I/O PC board
in the mounting base.
2) Secure the mounting base to
the ceiling or desired location.
3 & 4) Connect the housing
and eyeball assembly to the
base by aligning the cap and
base tabs, and then turning
the housing clockwise until you
hear a click. Once the housing
is secured, only the florescent
dot will be seen.
5) Dome is mounted and
ready-to-go. Wait a few
seconds for dome to begin
its homing routine. This
mounting base supports four
alarm inputs and three alarm
outputs.
