1.3 Functions
Multi-lingual OSD Menu
The dome provides multi-lingual OSD menu for display of system information and setting of dome parameters.
Self-adaptive to Multiple Protocols
The dome is compatible with PELCO-D, PELCO-P, PRIVATE-Code protocol, etc., and is capable of being self-adaptive to these
protocols without need of selecting protocol by DIP switch settings.
Keyboard Control
The pan/tilt movement and zoom actions of dome can be controlled by the control keyboard, DVR, matrix, etc.

5 Inch Network High-definition Speed Dome User Manual
6
Limit 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.
Auto 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.
Preset 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.
Presets
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.
Label 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.
Auto Flip
In manual tracking mode, when a target object goes directly beneath the dome, the dome will automatically rotate 180 degrees in
horizontal direction to maintain continuity of tracking. When the dome rotates (flips), the camera starts moving upward as long as you
continue to hold the joystick in the down position. This function can be realized by image center flip depending on different camera
models. The feature can be enabled/disabled through the menu.
Privacy 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.
3D Intelligent Positioning
The speed dome can be controlled with the 2 buttons and scroll of mouse can be used under PRIVATE-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.
Note: Please refer to Section 4.2.2 3D Intelligent Positioning for the specific instructions.
Proportional Pan/Tilt
Proportional pan/tilt 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.
Auto Focus
The auto focus enables the camera to focus automatically to maintain clear video images.
IR 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.
Low 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.
Backlight Compensation (BLC)

5 Inch Network High-definition Speed Dome User Manual
7
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.
Wide 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.
White 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.
Patrol
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.
Pattern
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 pattern is being memorized.
Power Loss Position
The dome supports the power loss position capability with the predefined dwell time. It allows the dome to resume its previous
position after power is restored.
Alarm Response Action
The speed dome supports 1 alarm inputs which can be set to NO (normally open), NC (normally closed). Upon having received the
alarm input signal, the dome will automatically activate a user-defined action, which can be programmed to patrol, pattern or preset
callup.
AUX Output
An auxiliary output is a configurable signal from the dome back box that can trigger another device to operate. The dome provides 1
auxiliary outputs: AUX1. The auxiliary output type can be set to NO or NC by menu. And the alarm dwell time is configurable as well.
User Management
The dome allows the users to be edited in groups with different levels of permission. In the admin login status, the user is allowed to
configure the user groups and user parameters. Multiple users are allowed to access and control the same network speed dome via

When the PROPORTIONAL PAN is set to ENABLE, 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 DISABLE, it will be difficult to trace the object at low pan and tilt speeds or no movement
in large amount of zoom.
PARK TIME (SECS)
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.
PARK ACTION
This feature will define the activity when the dome parks. The selectable park actions include: presets1-8, patterns 1-4, patrols 1-8,
auto scan, tilt scan, random scan, frame scan, panorama scan, or disable.
SCAN SPEED
Scan speed is the degrees per second of the auto scan, tilt scan, frame scan, random scan and panorama scan. Scan speed is adjustable
from 1 to 40 degrees per second through the camera menu.
FRESET 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.
LIMIT SETTINGS
Limit stops are configurable stops that limit the pan and tilt range of the dome. There may be left/right and up/down limit stops
configurable to define an area. When the LIMIT ENABLE function is set to DISABLE, the movement of dome will not be limited
despite of defined limit stops. Refer to Figure 3.3.12.
