1.3 Function Description
Super Communication
Address, baud rate and protocol could be changed both from dip-switch or from software.
English OSD menu
The language display on screen menu, the available language is English.
IR Output Power Consumption
IR output power consumption can be set through the OSD after IR is turned on.
IR Standby Power Consumption
After IR is turned on, if there is no operation and this period is more than the IR standby
time set, the dome will be on the standby mode. User can set the max IR standby power
consumption through OSD.
IR Detection Time
Time duration switching from Color to B/W or B/W to Color. It can be set through OSD
IR Standby Time
After IR is turned on. The duration from no operation to the standby mode is called IR
standby time , it is settable through OSD.
Focus
The auto focus enables the camera to focus automatically to maintain clear image. User

3
can use manual focus to in special condition.
Under the following conditions camera will not auto focus on the camera target:
(1) Target is not the center of the screen;
(2) Attempting to view images that are far and near at the same time;
(3) Target is strongly lighted object, such as neon lamp, etc.
(4) Targets are behind the glass covered with water droplets or dust;
(5) Targets are moving quickly;
(6) Monotonous large area targets, such as wall;
(7) Targets are too dark or faint.
BLC
If a bright backlight is present, the target in the picture may appear dark or as a silhouette,
BLC enhance the target in the center of the picture, the dome uses the center of the
pictures to adjust the iris. if there is a bright light source outside this area, it will wash out to
white, the camera will adjust the iris so that the target in the sensitive area will properly
exposed.
Iris Control
Factory default is automatic camera aperture, in mode of which camera senses changes in
ambient light through moving and adjust automatically lens aperture to make the brightness
of output image stable.
Users can through pressing OPEN or CLOSE iris-adjusting keys, manually adjust the
aperture size to get the required picture brightness.
By controlling the keyboard up, down, left, right or zoom to resume auto iris (auto iris is
recommended).
Auto-recognize to Protocol and Module
The dome can auto-recognize to the corresponding protocol and module during
self-inspection.
Protocol: PELCO_P, PELCO_D etc.
3D Allocation
With this function, users can move the image of some area to the center of screen
according to specified level and vertical coordinates and auto control to zoom according to
zoom parameter set.
Day/Night Switch
With auto day/night switch function, when the illumination is low the picture will auto switch
from day to night mode and when the illumination is high enough the picture will auto switch
from night to day mode
Ratio Speed
Intelligent pan and tilt speed is variable depend on the zoom factor. When zooming in, the
speed will become slower and when zooming out, the speed will become quicker.
A-B Scan

4
Dome circularly scan close-up real-time scene according to A-B points at setting speed in
both horizontal and vertical directions.
Pan Scan
Dome 360°clockwise continuous scan the display scene at setting speed in horizontal
direction under the condition that pitch angle remains the same.
Preset
After the dome camera keeps arbitrary PTZ location, it will automatically move to the
defined position when preset is called.
Guard Tour Scan
Dome patrol scans according to certain edited preset order.
Power Off Memory
This feature allows the dome to resume its previous preset or status after power is restored.
By default setting, the dome support power up memory, which improves the reliability and
avoids repeated settings of the parameter.
Park Action
If users don’t operate the dome in set time, it will automatically run preset specific mode
(pan scan, A-B scan, park action, cruise, preserve action etc.).
Zero Alignment
There is a point specified as zero point. When the dome is working, the preset point is not
accurate because of something caused by the operator. User can make the dome
automatically enable the zero alignment by operational order.
Auto Flip
In the manual tracking mode, when a target goes directly beneath the dome, the dome will
automatically rotate 180 degree in horizontal direction to maintain continuity tracking. When
the dome flips, the camera starts moving upward as long as you hold the joystick in the
down position.
