Ⅲ. Settings

3.1 Dome Address, Transmission Speed, Protocol Setting

Before the dome is installed, the communication protocol, baud rate and dome address, should be

confirmed. Set the code switch, keeping the setting consistent with the control system. The relative

code switch site and connecting wires are diagramed below for reference.

3.2 Speed Dome Camera Address Setting

The address code for the speed dome should be properly set before use to ensure accurate addressing

of the dome at the control center and to control several dome cameras. The address code is made up

of SW2 (8 bits) on PCB board. The 8 bit switch uses the 8421 binary coded decimal system. The largest

value is 256. 1 means ON status and 0 means OFF status. Each dome address code and keyboard

relative screen display mode is represented in the chart below (see the following figure and the

address/digits in following chart)

With reference to the above chart: When all code switches are under “OFF” status on speed dome,

address code is 1. When you input Numerical key No.1 on control keyboard, then press CAM key for

confirmation showing that set keyboard address as No.1 control address., At this time, keyboard can

control speed dome camera(its control address is 0001). Other addresses should be set as above.

3.3 Speed Dome Camera Communication Protocol Setting

The 1st, 2nd and 3rd bits in SW3 are used to set communication protocol (see following figure)

Please ensure that the controlling device and the camera are using the same protocol.

3.4 Speed Dome Camera Transmission Speed Setting (Baud Rate Setting)

The 4th and 5th bits of SW3 on the PCB board are used to set the baud rate (see following figure). The

default baud rate setting is 9600.

Baud Rate Options: 1200BIT/S 、2400BIT/S 、4800BIT/s、9600BIT/s

Please refer to the controlling device and protocol for baud rate requirement.

3.5 RS-485 Bus Matching Resistance

For better centralized control, a matching resistance should be connected in a parallel way at the

connecting port where the RS-485 is connected into the device which is the furthest away from the

center controller. By doing this, reflection and interference from the RS-485 signal and the like can be

cleared up. There is a switcher for controlling of the matching resistance at the end of SW2 on the PCB

board. And the matching resistance is connected to the RS-485 cable when the “No. 8” switcher is set

to “ON” status.

IV. Basic Function of Dome Camera

Use the keyboard controller to utilize the complete potential of the speed dome. (The keyboard control

protocol is set as the default protocol for the speed dome.)

4.1 Preset Position

The Preset function is the dome’s default level angle, lean angle and camera focal length in EMS

memory. By using this saved parameter, the dome and camera can run to the preset positions when it

is required. The operator can save and adjust preset positions by using the control keyboard; the

speed dome can support 256 preset positions.

4.2 Dome Pattern Tours

Before using the control keyboard to setup a speed dome pattern tour, please set the parameters of

preset positions first. If not, the speed dome will run according to default setup.

4.2.1 Preset Position Parameter Setting

The speed dome camera has the capacity to set preset positions through the keyboard. It can

program the running speed to each preset position from 0.4m/s to 280m/s (1-64grades) and dwell

time from (1-60seconds).

Note: The speed dome can rotate at low speeds and at fast speeds. Its speed can be divided into 64

levels. 1 is the lowest speed and 64 is the fastest speed.

4.2.2 Pattern Tours Setting

A. The Speed dome camera has the capacity to set up to 8 pattern tours each of which can have up to

16 present positions.

B. Add present positions in the pattern tours.

C. Set dwell time (1-60 seconds) and the rotational speed (1-64 grades) of each present positions.

D. There are two option pattern tours: 1. To-and-from scanning 2. Cruise scanning

4.3 Auto Scanning (Two points scanning, 360°scanning)

The operator can also run a simple point-to-point scan (also called back-and-forth scanning). To do this,

set Preset Point A first (at the same time set the dwell time at Point A), and then set Present Point B (at

the same time set the dwell time at Point B). Finally execute the command to scan between points A

and B.

4.3.1 Two Points Scanning

1. To set Point A. Move the joystick to the desired position.

2. In the Main Menu enter a dwell time for Point A. Example: If Dwell time is 2 seconds the control

keyboard displays:

3. Press PAN A.

4. To set Point B. Move the joystick to the desired position.

5. In the Main Menu enter a Dwell time for Point B.

6. Input the grade Speed (1-64) and Press AUTO

Example: Set dwell time of Point A as 2 seconds, dwell time of Point B as 3 seconds. Make the

scanning at 32-grade speed between the two points

a) Move control joystick to Point A of scanning

b) Input 02, then press Pan-A on the keyboard after two seconds

c) Move control joystick to Point B of scanning

d) Input 03, then press Pan-B on the keyboard after two seconds

e) Input 32 grade, then press AUTO key.

This will scan starting at Point A to Point B at a scanning rate of grade 32 stopping at Point A for 2

seconds and Point B for 3 seconds.

4.3.2 360° Scanning

The Operator can also start an auto cruise scan. This scan will rotate 360° from the desired position.

1. In the Main Menu, input desired cruise group No.

Example: Desired Group No. is 4 the control keyboard displays:

2. Press Shift + Scan to place PTZ into cruise scanning.

1. Move the joystick to desired position.

2. Input the running speed (1-64) and then input Shift + AUTO key.

Note: When speed dome camera is under the auto scanning status, you can use the joystick if

you want it to stop scanning.

4.4 Guard Location

The guard location is an important position that the speed dome camera will come back to automatically

when there is no operation for a defined period. The user can set a guard location and control the

waiting time to the guard location, starting and stopping (1-255S) before allowing the camera to return

to the guard location.

4.4.1 Setting the Guard Location

Intelligent speed dome can set a guard location and dwell time.

Use the control keyboard to set the guard location and its waiting time.

2. Press Enter to confirm.

3. Press the FUN key two times, control keyboard displays:

4. Move the joystick/rocker to the target position you would like to set as the Guard Location.

5. Press Enter to set the Guard Location.

The position is set as the guard location.

4.5 Alarm Linkage Function

Speed dome camera supports a 4 alarm input. Every alarm input end matches a preset position No.: 29,

30, 31,32.

First connect the defense area into speed dome camera, and switch the corresponding switch(“AL

SW1”) to ON status in order to enable the defense area to work. Then switch the “keyboard/always

defend” to ON status, enable the defense area under alert status in 24 hours (Any break in into this area

will cause the camera to turn to the corresponding position that has been preset). Turn the switch to

OFF status to enter the keyboard setting defense in order to set the alarm status with keyboard. When

speed dome camera detects a alarm input, the camera will automatically turn to the preset position that

has been set.

4.6 Objective Tracking

A user can rotate the camera lens up, down, left and right to view objects through the field of vision

Displays Current Speed

dome address

using the control keyboard. In addition, a user can adjust focal length to change the angle of view or the

size of the objects. When in auto-iris and auto-zoom mode, the camera adjusts automatically to get a

clear picture with changing image environments.

Focus/Rotate Auto Speed Controls

When manually adjusting the zoom length or focal distance at longer ranges, a typical PTZ dome may

move too quickly resulting in the loss of important images. Our outdoor speed dome is especially

designed to adjust the sensitivity of the Pan and Tilt controls making navigation easy and intuitive at

these long ranges.

Auto Flip

The speed dome’s auto-pan rotation with 180-degree flip capabilities automatically rotates the camera

90°when the camera tilts to the vertical position. This feature enables the continuous monitoring of an

object as it passes through the field of vision

4.7 Focus/Rotation Speed Auto Match Technology

When adjusting manually, and in the case of having a very long focus, the speed dome’s rapid reaction

enables a slight touch of the joystick to result in a large movement of screen, and cause the loss of

picture. Our speed dome camera automatically adjusts the rotation and tilting speed according to the

distance of the focus, enabling manual objective tracking to be more simple and effective.

4.8 Auto-Flip

When the camera tilts to the vertical position, it does not flip automatically, and other operations can be

carried on. If it need to rotate 180°, release the joystick when it is on vertical position, and them move

the joystick to the bottom again to achieve the auto-flip function. (Plane 180° vertical90°)

4.9 Camera Control

4.9.1 Zoom Control

The user can adjust the advanced zoom feature to acquire a needed image through the control

keyboard. The speed dome features a 216x zoom magnification (18x Optical and 12x Digital).

4.9.2 Focus Control

The speed dome’s default setting is for auto-adjust focusing. Under special conditions, a user can adjust

the focus manually to acquire the required image.

a. The object is not in the center of the picture.

b. Attempting to view images that are far and near at the same time

c. Object is strongly lighted object, such as neon lamp, etc.

d. Objects behind glass covered with dust.

e. Objects moving quickly

f. Objects within large area and single color such as wall

g. Objects that are too dark or faint

4.9.3 Iris Control

¾The speed dome’s default setting is for auto-adjust iris. It can make an adjustment quickly

through auto detecting the beam change.

¾User can adjust iris size manually through control keyboard to get required image brightness.

¾User can renew auto iris after moving the joystick or sending additional commands through the

controller (Attn: We suggest you use auto iris).

Remark: When controlling the iris manually, the dome locks in its current control position and will not

reset the auto-iris even if current object changes. You need to move the joystick or send a control

order to reset the auto iris.

4.9.4 Auto Backlight Compensation

Camera is divided into six areas to realize auto backlight compensation. In lighting conditions where a

strong backlight exists, the speed dome will adjust the light levels relative to the foreground and

background objects in order to achieve the highest resolution image. The camera is divided to 6 zones

to best handle unique lighting conditions.

4.9.5 Auto White Balance

The speed dome will automatically adjust the white balance to contrast the changing background

lighting conditions to achieve the truest digital color image.

For example: To use the control keyboard to control a speed dome with the PELCO protocol.

Set the protocol, address and baud rate of the speed dome camera, make it same as that of the

keyboard. When Input 51, then input CALL, the dome will make the slow scanning between two points. If

input 51, then input SHIFT + CALL, will enter starting point of line scanning (i.e. point 1).

If another control device is used to control the speed dome camera, Some of the special functions of

Intelligent high speed dome can’t be realized because of protocol limitation.

When another control device is used to control the speed dome camera, you will need to set the protocol,

address and baud rate correctly. When you set the address, please set the speed dome to an address

different from the control device. For example: DVR address is 1, dome camera address should be set

as 2 for normal control.

The movement control of the speed domes stops when we enter OSD menu. There are two ways

available to set the “Flip Up”, the “Flip Down”, “Select”/”Increase”, “Decrease” in the OSD menu. One is

by setting the preset points (as discussed above), the other is by combining the direction of the

movement of the joystick with the wanted functions. Namely, turn the joystick upwards for “Flip Up”,

downwards for “Flip Down”, leftwards for “Menu Data Select”/”Decrease”(Only available when there is

the display of “UP/DOWN”), rightwards for “Menu Data Select/Increase.
