Cautions
Handle the camera carefully
Do not abuse the camera. Avoid striking, shaking, etc. The camera could
be damaged by improper handing or storage.
Installing electricity wiring carefully
Ask qualified personnel of electrical wiring for the installation. Please
note that input electricity to the unit is at tolerance of DC 12V/AC 24V ±
10%.
The camera is capable of surge protection; ensure AC power model unit
grounded appropriately against damage of heavy current or electric
shock.
Refer to the camera’s installation guide for more information.
Do not disassemble the camera
To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or covers. There are no
user serviceable parts inside. Ask a qualified service person for servicing.
Do not block cooling holes on the bracket
This camera has a cooling fan inside. Blocking the cooling holes leads to
build up of heat the camera and may cause malfunction.
Do not operate the camera beyond the specified temperature,
humidity or power source ratings
Use the camera under conditions where temperature is between-50°C ~
50°C (-58°F ~ 122°F), and humidity is below 90%.
Do not expose the camera to rain or moisture, or try to operated it in
wet areas
This product is designed for indoor use or locations where it is protected
from rain and moisture. Turn the power off immediately if the camera is
wet and ask a qualified service person for servicing. Moisture can
damage the camera and also create the danger of electric shock.

remove, use a mild detergent and wipe gently.
Never face the camera towards the sun
Do not aim the camera at bright objects. Whether the camera is in use or
not, never aim it at the sun or other extremely bright objects. Otherwise,
the camera may be smeared or damaged.

1. Overview
The Dome Camera delivers up to 432x zoom ratio (T model) to capture clear
image in the distance. Continuous Auto Focus, Back Light Compensation,
Auto Exposure and Digital Slow Shutter functions are provided for clear and
high quality image. Removable IR cut filter ensures 24 hours operation, while
Privacy Masks are specially designed to avoid any intrusive monitoring at
specific region; all of the salient functions can be incorporated to meet your
needs. The Home function allows users to specify a preset position as the
‘home position’ or home functions (Sequence/Auto-pan/Cruise). Under the
mode, Dome Cameras can come back to the preset home position or
functions when the camera has been idle for a user-defined period of time.
Additionally, the unique Schedule function enables users to program a preset
point or function (Sequence/Auto-pan/Cruise) so that these actions can be
automatically performed in certain period of time.
The Dome Camera provides variable pan/tilt speeds ranging from a fast patrol
of 400° per second to a slow ramble of 5° per second with 0.225° pan/tilt
accuracy for fast and accurate tracking ability. The 360° endless rotation and
-10°~190° tilt travel make tracking the object passing directly beneath the
dome. Maximum 256 preset points can be programmed for precise location of
target areas, and users can also define Sequence lines, Auto-Pan lines and
Cruise routes for the camera to operate automatically. In addition, RS-485
communication port is available for remote control purposes.
The Integrated High Speed Dome Camera provides 8 alarm inputs and 1
alarm relay output, and the smart alarm management mechanism can be
programmed through the OSD setup menu; certain function
(Preset/Sequence/Auto-Pan/ Cruise) can be activated when an alarm is
triggered.
Large set of built-in protocols provide connectivity to other surveillance
systems. The built-in protocols include DSCP, Pelco, VCL, Philips, AD-422,
etc, which allow the Dome Camera series to be integrated with other
suppliers' surveillance systems.

1.2 Product Application
Connect the Dome Camera to other devices as shown in the diagram to
complete a video surveillance solution.
NOTE: To extend the network distance up to 1.2 km (4000 feet) and
to protect the connected devices, it is highly recommended to place
a repeater at the mid-point. However, a repeater may be needed in
the network distance less than 1.2 km if the used cables are not the
CAT 5, 24-gauge cables; refer to 2.7 RS-485 Connector Definition.
Refer to the repeater’s manual for detailed information.

2.2 Switch/Connector Definition
Configuring the Dome Camera’s ID and communication protocol are required
before connecting the Dome Camera to other devices. The switches used for
configuring these settings are located on the camera’s back plate. Additionally,
the 22-Pin Connector for Data Cable connection and ISP Connector for

RS-485 is the interface that communicates the Dome Camera and its control
device; for this reason, the RS-485 setup of the dome and the control device
must be the same. The RS-485 default setting is half-duplex (see the diagram
follows). Please do not change the default setting without qualified specialist
or supplier’s notice. As for the SW 3 and SW 4, they are used for termination
and Line Lock adjustment respectively. The SW 5 is mainly used when users
want to restore the camera to the factory default status; moreover, once
firmware upgrade is carried out, users also need to reset the SW 5 afterward.

2.4 ID Setting
Please change the Dome Camera’s ID if there is more than one Dome
Camera on the same installation site. Use the switch to change your Speed
Dome Camera’s ID by turning the arrow to the desired number respectively.
For instance, if the camera’s ID is 123, the ID switch should be set as below.
NOTE: No two Dome Cameras should be given the same ID, or
communication conflict may occur.
