1Features and Functions
1.1 General Introduction
The six-inch megapixel high speed smart network dome camera integrates the functions of network-based
remote surveillance and integrated high-speed smart dome, which makes it convenient to install and easy to use.
This product incorporates a megapixel level resolution, which meets the customers' needs for surveillance at HD
level. This product is also qualified with intelligent identification ability, privacy masking settings, alarm activation,
WDR and some other functions. In addition, one can transmit audio/video and control data via internet in a safe
way. Thus, the surveillance is free from the restriction caused by the changes of time and places to realize a
real-time surveillance. With the built-in high-speed PTZ, this product can operate as a quick and accurate, fixed-
positioning surveillance, which is also very convenient to use.
1.2 Features
This series speed dome has the following features:
1.2.1 On-Screen Menu
This series product menu supports multiple languages.
It is easy for you to view dome information and configure dome, camera parameters.
1.2.2 Support multiple protocols
You can use various devices (such as matrix, control keyboard and DVR) and protocols to operate
speed dome.
1.2.3 Proportional Pan and Tilt
This function keeps the image from moving too fast when there is a large amount of zoom.
The quick-installed high definition speed dome continually decreases or increases pan and tilt speeds in
proportion to depth of zoom. When zooms speed is increasing, the camera moving speed becomes slow.
When zooms speed is decreasing, the camera moving speed becomes fast.
1.2.4 On-screen Tips
Here you can view:
Dome title and system version (Software and hardware)
Dome system temperature. (Optional. You can disable this function)
Dome pan/tilt coordinates, preset ID.
1.2.5 Preset Setup and Call
Preset function is to save the address information (such as PTZ pan/tilt, focus, etc) to the memory so
that you can quickly adjust the dome and PTZ to the correct position. This series quick-installed high
definition speed dome supports 255 presets.

1.2.6 Auto Scan
Camera scans back and forth regularly in a horizontal field. Here you need to set left and right limit and scan
speed. You can set 5 scanning paths.
1.2.7 Auto Touring
Add addresses into a routine and desired order and then set time and stop duration for each address. The dome
will begin an auto touring between these addresses. Each touring path can contain max 32 presets.
1.2.8 Auto Pattern
Memorise dome operation such as pan, tilt, and zoom to repeat. You can call it to repeat the previous operation.
1.2.9 Privacy Masking
Privacy masking is a user-defined, four-sided area that cannot be viewed by you. The masking area will move
with pan and tilt functions and automatically adjust in size as the lens zooms.
1.2.10 Action on Alarm
System can connect 7-channel NO/NC input and 2-channel NO alarm output via the socket connector. Alarms
can be individually programmed to initiated pattern, or go to an associated preset, scanning, touring when
received. Dome will return to a previously programmed state after alarm acknowledgement or to its previous
position before alarm.
1.2.11 Auto Flip
As long as you continue to hold the keyboard joystick in the down position, the dome rotates 180 degrees and
repositions itself for uninterrupted viewing of any subjects that passes directly beneath the dome.
1.2.12 Self-diagnosis
There is a self-diagnosis procedure when dome boots up.
Tilt and vertical engine check
Camera diagnostics
Display dome information and diagnosis information such as address, protocol, baud rate, type.
1.2.13 Day/Night Mode (B/W & Color Mode)
Auto/manual switches in low illumination.
Auto: camera will automatically adjust CCD light level.
Manual: use menu or function keys to select day/night mode.
This function needs the speed dome driver (camera) supported.
1.2.14 Auto Focus
Auto focus allows the lens to remain in focus during zoom-in, zoom-out and motion functions to get vivid image.
You can use FAR or NEAR button to adjust focus manually.

1.2.15 Backlight Compensation
Balance the brightest and darkest sections of a scene to produce a more vivid picture.
1.2.16 Pan Tilt and Zoom
Supports zoom in and zoom out during tilt and pan movement.
In this period focus and iris are both in auto mode to get clear image.
1.2.17 3D Intelligent Location
Working with DVR, just click part of the current scene will be displayed in the central window and automatically
zooms. All of these allow you to trace precisely.
1.2.18 Idle Status
When there is no available order, you can use the menu to set dome idle status after specified duration. The idle
status includes turn to specified preset or go to scan, tour or pattern function.
1.2.19 Image Stabilizer/Flip
