yDetailed Features of Speed Dome part
General Features of Outdoor Housing (iCan
World most silent speed dome camera
Adoption of timing belt, specialized gear, and other low-
noise-technologies reduced mechanical vibration which
significantly enhances durability and quality of the
camera. This camera is the perfect match, both indoor
and outdoor, for demanding security and monitoring
applications.
0.024°dome system accuracy with 1/8
micro step
By adopting 1/8 micro step and twin gear system, the dome
camera achieved 0.024°rotational accuracy. It provides
excellent precision for delicate control such as preset positions.
Reliable RAM-Material
The mechanical stability achieved by using high quality
materials (e.g., stepping motor, slip ring, timing belt
and power condenser) improves the durability and life
time of the camera. The camera housing is made of fire
resistant material (UL grade 94 V-0).
Preset position compensation
It minimizes the effect of low frequency vibration caused by
wind or other impact for maintaining precise positioning. It is
useful for outdoor surveillance and traffic monitoring
applications.
Long life-time Slip Ring ( Passed 6 month
test of 20milion rotations)
Equipped with slip ring that passed 20 millions rotations
performed for 6 months.
Protected RS485 terminals. (Against
misconnection of the power line)
RS-485 circuit is protected against false connection of the power
source for ensured communication channel.
Filter changeable True Day/Night
Automatic IR cut filter ensures near-true color video for
day time while providing quality B/W video under low
illumination. The efficiency of the monitoring can be
improved by using this feature used together with DSS
(Digital Slow Shutter). This feature is available only for
18X and 26X zoom module.
Hot Keys
This camera supports various hot key functions
for ease of control by other controllers or DVRs.
Various Surveillance Functions

preset positions with various speed and dwell time.
8 Group Tour : Up to 8 Programmable Group tours are
supported. Each group can be configured to have up to 60
preset positions with different speed and dwell time
165 Preset positions : Up to 165 programmable preset
positions. Each preset position can be labeled by up to 16
characters
8 Patterns : up to 8 user-defined patterns. Each pattern can
last up to 60 seconds and can be named with up to 16
characters. Total of 480 second of pattern monitoring is
possible.
8 Sectors : Up to 8 user-defined sectors. Each sector can
be labeled by up to 16 characters
24 Privacy Masking Zones : Up to 24 user-defined
privacy masking zone. Each zone can be labeled by up to 16
characters (18X, 26X only)
4 Alarm input and 2 relay out : 4 alarm inputs and 2
relay outputs that can be matched with preset, tours, and
patterns for versatile monitoring functions.
High speed Pan & Tilt movement
Maximum speed for the panning and tilting are 350°/sec and
250°/sec, respectively, for preset movement. The high speed
will enable quick movement to the spot you want to watch..
200°/S – Manual Operation speed
This camera provides up to 200°/sec of manual speed and it’s
adjustable from 100°/sec to 200°/sec
1/4” Sony Ex-View CCD
