1. Product Introduction
1.1 Features
Strong Intelligence Function:
Compatible with PELCO-D, PELCO-P and EverFocus Protocol.
Recognize 2400, 4800, 9600 Baud Rate.
Automatic recognition for RS 485 control protocol.
With 4CH trajectory scan and 4CH preset cruise
Strong Horizontal and Vertical Rotation Function:
Max. 180 degree/Sec. High speed pan tilt rotation.
Based vector drive technology, guarantee the P/T function can be executed at
minimum route and make the target distance closer. Therefore, it is more true
and natural for us to view the video.
Adopt the advance motor ultrafine classification technology,
Minimum rotation speed of pan tilt can reach the 0.05 degree/sec., make the
video image more accurate and stable under high magnification.
Presets, Trajectory Scan, Zones Scan, Continuous Scan
Maximum 220 presets and every preset include magnification of lens and angle
position.
It may record and display 4 trajectory scan route

4/ 24
Set up the left and right border of specified zones, pan tilt zoom dome can rotate
at specified speed.
Call the specified special preset can be 360°durative scan.
OSD English Menu
Built-in OSD English screen menu, it can modify the info and the parameter
PTZ Dome via menu.
Horizontal/Vertical angle magnification of lens and presets can be displayed on
screen.
PTZ Control
Adopt RS485 protocol
360 degrees horizontal durative rotation, vertical 90 °rotation. Turn over 180°,
continuous monitor,
Horizontal speed 0.05-360 degrees, vertical speed 0.05 -90 degrees, it can adjust
automatically as per lens zoom times.
1.2 Function
1.) Setup of address code
Any operation commands have the target address code, baud rate, control protocol
for related high speed PTZ dome, single camera only can be committed to
commands in conformity with relevant address code, baud rate and control
protocol. Our high speed PTZ Dome camera can recognize camera address, baud
rate and control protocol automatically.

5/ 24
2.) Focal length/rotation speed auto. Configure technology.
When you adjust manually, if the focal length is too long and when you touch the
PTZ keyboard joystick lightly under the high speed pan tilt rotation, it may let the
video image move promptly and can lead to data loss. Based on this, our High
Speed PTZ Dome can adjust the horizontal and vertical speed according to the
focal length, it makes the manual tracking target be more convenient.
3.) Reserve and call preset
Preset function is that store parameter such as pan tilt horizontal angle; slope
angle and camera lens focal length into memory. If necessary, you can call this
parameter and adjust pan tilt and camera lens to this position. User can store and
call presets via using PTZ control keyboard and IR controller. This PTZ Dome
has 220 presets.
4.) Lens control
（1）Focal length control
User can adjust the range of focal length via using PTZ control keyboard or
matrix host machine, and then will get the complete video.
（2）Focus control
System starts to focus and zoom by default; the camera lens will focus at the
center around the target view and will keep the image clear. It also can focus
manually and reach the expected image effects. When you are in control of
manual focus, and if you want to reset to autofocus, you just operate from the
joystick of PTZ keyboard. In addition, you may set a control command or call a

6/ 24
preset to reset auto focus.
5.) Auto. Cruise
It can add some presets into auto. cruise section in turn via preset cruise preset
sites. You just set command of 99 preset or use the idle motion to make the PTZ
dome move continuously within certain space of time as per the turn of reserved
presets.
6.) Trajectory scanning
Trajectory scanning is that store operation trajectory via menu, it can call the
reserved scan route via No. 84,No. 85,No.86, No.87 command or idle motion.
7.) Continuous scanning
You just set command for NO. 98 preset or call it by idle motion, and then you
can scan circularly in horizontal position at certain speed.
8.) Intermittent scanning
You just set command for NO. 96 preset or call it by idle motion, and then you
can scan circularly at space of time in horizontal position at certain speed.

Connection of control cable
PTZ control: connect RS-485 cable to PTZ control keyboard or DVR. If you control
more than one camera, RS-485 cable needs to be settled parallel position.
Note：①The RS-485 cable can be connected optionally
②Protocol and baud rate of PTZ control keyboard or DVR can be settled
optionally
③Some cameras in CCTV system should set different PTZ dome address
Video
Use BNC plug to connect video signal cable.

3.Basic Operation
As the concrete operation methods are not exactly the same for different platform
systems, you are suggested to operate according to the user manual. Under some
circumstances, when it may needs particular operation; please contact the supplier for
necessary instructions. Here the introduction is only about the operation methods on
PTZ dome when you use the PTZ keyboard.
1.) Self-check
After you Turn ON the power for PTZ dome, the camera will rotate horizontally and
vertically, and then zoom in and zoom out, and finally stop when it reaches the zoom
limits. Through self-checking, you can be made sure of the normal operation for the
PTZ camera.
How to control the camera when it rotates in different directions?
When you locate a camera, you can control it via the joystick on the keyboard. When
you move the joystick to the right, the camera will move to the right. In the same way,
it will move to the left when you move the joystick to the left. When you move the
joystick in vertical direction, the camera will move accordingly in vertical direction.
Similarly, the camera will move simultaneously in horizontal and vertical direction
when you shake the joystick in diagonal direction.
2.) Presets setup
Please set the presets as below,
(1) Operate joystick of keyboard, zoom button, focus button and iris button to adjust
video image of camera
(2)Press the Arabic number key (please input the number of specified preset)
+PRESET, to save parameter of preset view.

9/ 24
3.) Call presets
Please call presets as below steps,
(1) Press Arabic number key (please input the number of specified preset) +CALL，
the camera will move to preset immediately. Meanwhile, the related zoom,
focus and iris will be automatically changed to preset parameters.
