Chapter 1 Overview
1.1 Description
Integrated with the built-in pan/tilt unit, the high speed dome features highly sensitive response
and reliable performance. The speed dome can be adopted in various surveillance fields with its
full-integral functions and features, such as forest, railway, airport, harbor, oil field, plaza, park,
scenic spot, street, train station, stadium, etc.
1.2 Functions
OSD (On Screen Display)
The on-screen display is an image superimposed on a screen picture, used for displaying
information and menu.
Self-adaptive Protocol
The speed dome is compatible with PELCO-D, PELCO-P, PRIVATE-Code, VICON and KALATEL-32
protocol, etc., and is capable of being self-adaptive to these protocols without 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.
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.
Scan Mode
The dome provides 5 scan modes: pan scan, tilt scan, frame scan, random scan and panorama scan.
The scan 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

2
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.
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.
Proportional 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.
Auto Focus
The auto focus enables the camera to focus automatically to maintain clear video images.
DAY/NIGHT Auto-switch
The speed dome delivers color images during the day; as light diminishes at night, it switches to
night mode and delivers black and white images with high quality. You can also switch it to NIGHT
mode manually to increase the sensitivity in low light conditions.
Slow Shutter
Slow shutter is the function of extending the exposure time to accumulate more light when the light
condition is low. Thus, the image can be brighter.
Backlight Compensation (BLC)
If the speed dome focuses on an object against strong backlight, the object will be too dark to be
seen clearly. The BLC function can compensate light to the object in the front to make it clear, but
this causes the over-exposure of the background where the light is strong.
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)
The wide dynamic range function helps the speed dome provide clear images even under back light
circumstances. When there are both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously in the field of
view, WDR balances the brightness level of the whole image and provide clear images with details.
White Balance
White balance is the white rendition function of the speed dome to adjust the color temperature
according to the environment automatically. It can remove the unrealistic color casts in the image.
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 preset is being
memorized.
Power-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.
Alarm 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 or B&W mode. After the alarm is cleared, the dome is capable of resuming its
previous activity or position.
AUX Output
An auxiliary output is a configurable signal from the dome back box that can trigger another device
to operate. The dome provides one auxiliary output. The auxiliary output type can be set to NO
(normally open) or NC (normally closed). And the alarm dwell time is configurable as well.
Manchester Code Self-test
The speed dome supports Manchester code self-test for fault diagnostic. You can enable the
Manchester code diagnosis function by setting the positions 4, 5 and 6 of DIP Switch to ON. The
corresponding fault code will be displayed on the screen (not available during park time) while
adopting Manchester protocol.

the dome to perform panorama scan within the zone.
Password
The dome features password protection to prevent unauthorized changes to the dome settings.
RS-485 Failure Diagnostics
In the presence of failure at the transmitting and receiving terminals of RS-485 communications, the
speed dome is capable of performing self-test and detecting the fault results which will be displayed
on the screen.
Soft Baudrate
The baudrate of dome can be configured by the menu without need of DIP switch settings.

Task 1: Configure the focus settings.
Setting the focus mode
Steps:
(1) Move the cursor to FOCUS using the direction buttons and click IRIS+ to change the cursor to
totally hollow.
(2) Click up/down direction buttons to choose the focus mode as AF, MF or HAF.
AF (Auto-focus): The lens remains in focus during PTZ movements.
MF (Manual Focus): You need to adjust the focus with Focus+ and Focus- buttons manually.
HAF (Half-auto Focus): The speed dome focuses automatically only once after panning,
tilting and zooming.
(3) Click IRIS+ button to save the settings.
Setting the focus limit
Purpose:
This function is used to limit the minimum focus distance. You can configure the focus limit
longer when the target is at a distance, to avoid the speed dome focusing on the objects close to
it; or configure the focus limit shorter when the target is near the speed dome, and avoid it
focusing on the objects father.
You can set FOCUS LIMT as 1CM, 30CM, 1M, 3M or AUTO.
Note: The focus limit value varies depending on the models of speed dome.
Task 2: Configure the iris, gain and shutter speed.
Setting the AE mode
Purpose:
AE mode defines the priority of iris, shutter and gain when the speed dome adjusts the
brightness of the video.
The options in AE MODE are as follows:
AUTO: Auto iris, auto shutter and auto gain. The speed dome adjusts these values
automatically responding to the lighting conditions. It is the default mode.
HAUTO: You can adjust the video brightness with IRIS+ and IRIS- buttons when you select
this mode.
IRIS: It is the iris-priority mode. You need to adjust the iris value manually. The shutter and
gain values will be adjusted automatically according to the lighting conditions.
