1.2 Outline
4 Inch High Speed Dome
1.3 Functions
zMulti-lingual OSD Menu
The dome provides multi-lingual OSD menu for display of system information and setting of dome parameters.
zSelf-adaptive to Multiple Protocols
The dome is compatible with PELCO-D, PELCO-P, HIK-Code, VICON and KALATEL-32 protocol, etc., and is capable of being
self-adaptive to these protocols without need of selecting protocol by DIP switch settings.
zKeyboard Control

4 Inch High Speed Dome User Manual
5
The pan/tilt movement and zoom actions of dome can be controlled by the control keyboard, DVR, matrix, etc.
zLimit Stops
The dome can be programmed to move within the limit stops (left/right, up/down) which are configurable by the control keyboard,
DVR or client application software.
zAuto Scan
The dome provides 5 scanning modes: pan scanning, tilt scanning, frame scanning, random scanning and panorama scanning. The
scanning speed can be set by OSD menu from level 1 to 40, with the corresponding speed ranging from 1°/second to 40°/second.
zPreset Freeze Frame
This feature freezes the scene on the monitor when going to a preset. This allows for smooth transition from one preset scene to
another and also guarantees that masked area will not be revealed when going to a preset.
zPresets
Each of the user-definable presets can be programmed to use pan, tilt, camera settings and other settings. When preset is called, the
dome will automatically move to the defined position. User is allowed to add, modify, delete and call each preset.
zLabel Display
The on-screen label of the preset title, azimuth/elevation, zoom and other operations can be programmed by menu and displayed on the
monitor.
zAuto Flip
When the camera tilts downward and goes just beyond the vertical position, the dome will automatically rotate 180 degrees. When the
dome rotates (flips), the camera starts moving upward as long as you continue to hold the joystick in the down position. The auto-flip
feature is useful for following a person who passes directly beneath the dome. The feature can be enabled/disabled through the menu.
zPrivacy Mask
The privacy mask allows a user to program user-defined areas that cannot be viewed by the operator of the dome system. A masked
area will move with pan and tilt functions and automatically adjust in size as the lens zooms telephoto and wide.
z3D Intelligent Positioning
The speed dome can be controlled with the 2 buttons and scroll of mouse can be used under HIK-Code protocols with devices and
client software. Click on a certain area and the device will move to the scene with corresponding point as the center. When a
rectangular area is selected by left-clicking the mouse, device will move to its center and enlarge it. With right-clicking, the lens will
zoom in, and the scroll can easily make the lens zooming, and mouse operation automatically incorporates zooming effect.
zProportional Pan
Proportional pan automatically reduces or increases the pan and tilt speeds in proportion to the amount of zoom. At telephoto zoom
settings, the pan and tilt speeds will be slower for a given amount of joystick deflection than at wide zoom settings. This keeps the
image from moving too fast on the monitor when there is a large amount of zoom.
zAuto Focus
The auto focus enables the camera to focus automatically to maintain clear video images.
zIR Cut Filter
The IR cut filter can be set to Auto, Day and Night.In auto mode, the camera is capable of automatically switching Black & White
mode (Night) and Color mode (Day) with regard to environment lightening conditions. In manual switch mode, user can increase
sensitivity in low light conditions by switching to Black & White mode, while the Color mode is preferred in normal lighting
conditions.
zLow Light Electronic Shutter
The shutter speed will automatically slow down in low illumination conditions to maintain clear video images by extending the
exposure time. The feature can be enabled/disabled by the menu.
zBacklight Compensation (BLC)
If a bright backlight is present, the subjects in the picture may appear dark or as a silhouette. Backlight compensation (BLC) enhances

4 Inch High Speed Dome User Manual
6
objects in the center of the picture. The dome uses the center of the picture to adjust the iris. If there is a bright light source outside of
this area, it will wash out to white. The camera will adjust the iris so that the object in the sensitive area is properly exposed.
zWide Dynamic Range (WDR)
When the Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) function is on, the dome is able to balance the brightest and darkest sections of a scene to
produce a picture that is better balanced in lighting and provides more details.
zWhite Balance (WB)
This feature automatically processes the viewed image to retain color balance over a color temperature range. The default setting for
white balance is AUTO.
zPatrol
The high speed dome provides up to 8 patrols. In each patrol, user is allowed to specify the scanning track by a group of user-defined
presets, with the scanning speed between two presets and the dwell time at the preset separately programmable.
zPattern
A pattern is a memorized, repeating series of pan, tilt, zoom, and preset functions that can be recalled with a command from a
controller or automatically by a configured function (alarm, park, time task, or power-up). By default the focus and iris are in auto
status during the preset is being memorized.
zPower-off Memory
This feature allows the dome to resume its previous position or status after power is restored. By default setting, the dome supports the
power-off memory capability with the dwell time of 3 minutes.
zAlarm Response Action
The speed dome supports 2 alarm inputs which can be set to NO or NC. Upon having received the alarm input signal, the dome will
automatically activate a user-defined action, which can be programmed to: preset 1-8, pattern 1-4, patrol 1-8, pan scan, tilt scan,
random scan, frame scan, panoramic scan, color/B&W mode or none. After the alarm is cleared, the dome is capable of resuming its
previous activity or position.
zAUX Output
An auxiliary output is a configurable signal from the dome back box that can trigger another device to operate. The dome provides two
auxiliary outputs: AUX1. The auxiliary output type can be set to NO (normally open) or NC (normally closed) by menu. And the alarm
dwell time is configurable as well.
zManchester Code Self-test
Enable the Manchester code diagnosis capability by setting the positions 4, 5 and 6 of DIP Switch SW2 to ON.
During the use of the Manchester code diagnosis, the corresponding fault code will be displayed on the screen (not available during
park time).

zFOCUS
The camera provides three focus modes for selection: AF (auto), HAF (half-auto) and MF (manual).
In auto focus mode, the camera will allow the lens to remain in focus when using pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) functions.
In manual focus mode, the focus can be operated manually.
In half-auto focus mode, the camera will remain in a fixed focus position when all PTZ motions are stopped. And when the PTZ
motions are resumed, the camera will focus automatically.
The default setting is AF.
zZOOM LIMIT
Zoom limit allows the user to define a limitation on the amount of telephoto zoom. The settings vary depending on camera model.
Zoom amount＝optical zoom× digital zoom. When the ZOOM LIMIT is set to the minimum value, it indicates the digital zoom is
disabled, and the optical zoom is in its maximum value.
zZOOM SPEED
Zoom speed allows the user to define the speed at which the dome will go from full wide zoom to the optical zoom, with three levels
selectable: HIGH, MID and LOW. The default setting is HIGH.
zSLOW SHUTTER
The shutter will automatically slow down to obtain clearer figure through exposure time extension under low lightening. The default
setting is ON.
zIR CUT FILTER
The IR cut filter can be set to AUTO, DAY and NIGHT.In auto mode, the camera is capable of automatically switching Black &
White mode (NIGHT) and Color mode (DAY) with regard to environment lightening conditions. In manual switch mode, user can
increase sensitivity in low light conditions by switching to Black & White mode, while the Color mode is preferred in normal lighting
conditions. The default setting is AUTO.

The DAY mode can be set by calling preset 39, and the NIGHT mode set by preset40.
zD/N Level
The D/N level is the light level at which the IR cut filter switches DAY or NIGHT. Three levels are selectable: HIGH, MID and LOW.
The default setting is MID.
Note: This feature varies depending on camera model.
zSharpness
The sharpness function enhances picture detail by increasing the aperture gain of the camera and sharpening the edges in the picture.
Levels from 1 to 16 are selectable, with the default setting of level 9.
zBLC/WDR
If a bright backlight is present, the subjects in the picture may appear dark or as a silhouette. Backlight compensation (BLC) enhances
objects in the center of the picture. The dome uses the center of the picture to adjust the iris. If there is a bright light source outside of
this area, it will wash out to white. The camera will adjust the iris so that the object in the sensitive area is properly exposed.
When the Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) function is on, the dome is able to balance the brightest and darkest sections of a scene to
produce a picture that is better balanced in lighting and provides more details.
Note: The BLC/WDR feature varies depending on camera model. The default setting is for BLC function.
zBLC LEVEL
This feature is used for adjusting the backlight compensation level.
Note:The feature varies depending on camera model.
zAE MODE
The AE mode can be set to AUTO, IRIS, SHUTTER, GAIN or MANUAL. When it is set to AUTO, the auto iris, auto shutter and auto
gain functions are all enabled; when it is set to IRIS, the iris function adopts the defined value while the auto shutter and auto gain
remain to be enabled; when it is set to SHUTTER, the shutter function adopts the defined value while the auto iris and auto gain
remain to be enabled; and when it is set to GAIN or MANUAL, the gain value can be adjusted, or the iris, gain and shutter values are
all adjustable. The default setting is AUTO.
Note: The Gain or Manual feature varies depending on camera model.
zIRIS
The iris is the lens function that opens and closes the iris in response to changing light conditions, with the numeric values from 0 to
17 selectable.
zSHUTTER
The Shutter is the duration of the electronic shutter. User can set the shutter speed to 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 30, 60, 125, 180, 250, 500, 1000,
2000, 4000 or 10000. The numeric value of X indicates the shutter speed is 1/X second.
zGAIN
The Gain indicates the amplification degree of the original image signal, with the numeric values from 0 to 15 selectable.
zEXPOSURE COMP
The exposure compensation effect can be adjusted through exposure volume adjustment. The numeric values from 0 to 14 are
selectable, with the default setting of 7.
zWHITE BALANCE
This feature automatically processes the viewed image to retain color balance over a color temperature range. The dome provides 5
modes for selection: AUTO, INDOOR, OUTDOOR, SELFDEF (self-defined) and ATW. When the SELFDEF is selected, set the value
of RED and BLUE.
zIMAGE FLIP
This feature allows the video image to be mirrored on the screen.
zFOCUS LIMIT
The focus limit can be set to 1CM, 30CM, 1M or 3M. The feature allows the camera to perform auto focus out of the focus limit . The

zATUO FLIP
If the AUTO FLIP is set to ON, the dome will rotate 180 degrees when the camera tilts downward and goes just beyond the vertical
position. When the dome rotates (flips), the camera starts moving upward as long as you continue to hold the joystick in the down
position. Once you let go of the joystick after the dome rotates, joystick control returns to normal operation. The auto-flip feature is
useful for following a person who passes directly beneath the dome.
When the AUTO FLIP is set to OFF, the dome will not perform the horizontal actions caused by its vertical movement.
zPROPORTIONAL PAN
When the PROPORTIONAL PAN is set to ON, the dome will automatically reduce or increases the pan and tilt speeds in proportion to
the amount of zoom. At telephoto pan and tilt speeds will be slower for a given amount of joystick deflection than at wide zoom
settings. This keeps the image fast on the monitor when there is a large amount of zoom.
When the PROPORTIONAL PAN is set to OFF, it will be difficult to trace the object at low pan and tilt speeds or no movement in
large amount of zoom.
Note: This feature is enabled all the time while setting the patterns.
zPARK TIME
This feature allows the dome to begin a specified operation (scan, preset, or pattern) after a configured period of inactivity.
Park time can be configured from 5 to 720 seconds.
Note: If no control signal is received for a period of time under the following circumstances, no automatic actions will be performed:
1. In the process of performing dome actions by callup of special presets; 2. In the process of performing external alarm response
actions.
zPARK ACTION
This feature will define the activity when the dome parks. The selectable park actions include: presets1-8, patterns 1-4, patrols 1-8, pan
scan, tilt scan, random scan, frame scan, panoramic scan, day mode, night mode, or none.

from 1 to 40 degrees per second through the camera menu.
zIMAGE FREEZE
This feature freezes the scene on the monitor when going to a preset. This allows for smooth transition from one preset scene to
another. Preset freeze frame also reduces bandwidth when used with digital network systems and guarantees that blanked areas will not
be revealed when going to a preset.
zDOME SPEED
The manual dome movement speed can be set to HIGH, MID or LOW.
zPRESET SPEED
The speed of preset callup can be set from level 1 to 8. The higher level corresponds to the faster preset callup.
