1.1. Introduction
Outdoor/Indoor Speed Dome, an intelligent high-speed dome camera is ready to
secure your property with its omni-directional and exact monitoring. An 18X optical
and 12X digital zoom combining with a high-performance chip makes captured
images clear and vivid. The other powerful camera functions this type of speed dome
equips with:
PAL / NTSC image format suppose.
Auto and fast focus increases the searching speed and precision.
Auto Iris adjusts the monitoring image to the best brightness.
White Balance function makes the shades of color more natural in different
light conditions.
BLC (Backlight Compensation) function makes objects clear in a high
illumination background.
Color / B&W images auto switching to enhance the sensitivity in a low light
condition or at night.
Furthermore, the micro control unit enables camera a nimble and exact movement
from minimal 0.01/sec to maximal 360/sec. It can go to every preset position in 1
second. It also has other advantages such as:
192 preset positions are available.
16 cruise tours can be set, and each tour contains up to 16 positions.
Up to256 speed domes can be supported on a RS485 bus when all speed
domes are controlled by multi-function keyboard controller.
Auto heater and fan to fit all kinds of temperature.

1-5
Provide 4 alarm inputs and 1 alarm output.
All of the features make the intelligent high-speed dome camera works for a wide

1.3.2. Base Board
The base board that is on the bottom of the housing connects to power cable, video
cable, control cable, alarm cable, fan and heater (fan and heater are for Outdoor Speed
Dome only). In order to connect to cables, the board needs to be taken off, and put back
after finishing connecting to all cables. The connectors of cable names are marked on the
board in white text. The details of the alarm connector (JP5) are shown on the APPENDIX
A.
For Outdoor Speed Dome, JP1, JP3 and JP6 that are two-pin connectors on the base
board need to be taken off during installation. JP1 and JP3 are connectors for heater, and
they can be switched. JP6 is a fan controller connector that turns on/off of the fan. The 3
cables are too short to be connected to a wrong connector when putting them back.

1.5. Outdoor/Indoor Speed Dome Quick Operation Guide (Work with Multi-Function
Keyboard Controller)
Outdoor/Indoor Speed Dome and Multi-Function Keyboard Controller can work
together by using factory default setting. You just need to connect cables by following
the steps:
1. Connect the RS485 cable to Outdoor/Indoor Speed Dome and a
Multi-Function Keyboard Controller.
2. Connect a video cable from Outdoor/Indoor Speed Dome to a monitor.
3. Connect the power to the Outdoor/Indoor Speed Dome and a Multi-Function
Keyboard Controller.
After the speed dome finishes the self-test mode, you can start to operate the
speed dome via the keyboard.
To operate the Outdoor/Indoor Speed Dome:
IRIS

2.2. Cable Needed
Power Cable
An adapter with 24V AC/3.5Aoutput provides the power to the speed dome.An
extension power line may be needed.

2-14
Note: The input AC voltage range of an adapter depends on different area.
Please make sure the voltage range before installing.
Video Cable
ABNC cable is used for connecting a speed dome to a DVR or a monitor. An amplifier
may be needed if the video cable is too long.
Control Cable
Basically, Outdoor/Indoor Speed Dome uses a differential pair to connect to other
devices by cascading. A cable that has low signal decline can be used as a control cable.
Alarm Cable
An alarm cable is not included in the packing list. Asuitable wire can be used as an
alarm cable.
2.3. Initial Setup
Initial setup includes dome address, communication protocol, transmission speed,
video format, and terminator resistance settings. All of the settings should be confirmed
before the dome is installed. The control-related setting that is address, communication
protocol and transmission speed have to be set consistently with the control device such
as a keyboard or a DVR.
Notice: Please make sure the power is off before setting, and restart the speed dome to
enable a new value after changing.


2-15
2.3.1. Address Setting
The address code of the Outdoor/Indoor Speed Dome should be set to correspond
properly with a control device to control multiple dome cameras. The address codes
are made up by the dipswitch SW1 (8 bits) on the PCB board. The 8 bits dipswitch
indicates the binary coded of the address, and there are 256 addresses can be
selected (0 ~ 255, 2
8
= 256). It also means that there up to 256 dome cameras can
cascade on the RS485 bus. The dipswitch setting and the indicated address are
represented in the following chart.
Note: The factory default address is 1.
Notice: Please make sure the power is off before setting, and restart the speed dome
to enable a new value after changing. 

2.3.2. Communication Protocol Setting
The 1
st
, 2
nd
and 3

bits of the SW2 are used to set communication protocol. The
factory default protocol is EVF.

Set all of protocol switches to ON; the Outdoor/Indoor Speed Dome will enter a
self-test mode.
2.3.3. Transmission Speed Setting (Baud Rate Setting)
The 4

bits of the SW2 on the PCB board are used to set the Baud Rate. The
default baud rate setting is 9600.

2.3.5. RS-485 Bus Terminator Resistance
For central controlling, the terminator resistance should be set for the device that is
the furthest one away from the controller. The 8
th
bit on the SW2 is a switch to enable or
disable the terminator resistance. When it is switched ON, the BUS terminator
resistance is connected.
