1.6 Glossary
General Address
Address 0 is the general address, which means the controlling devices can control any dome in a system by this
address, no matter what the current dome address is.
Proportional Pan/Tilt Speed
Proportional pan/tilt automatically reduces or increases the pan and tilt speeds in proportion to the amount of
zoom. The dome slows down at a larger amount of zoom, and it speeds up at a small amount of zoom.
AUTO Pan SCAN
The dome rotates horizontally 360º continually at a set speed in the set direction. User can also set the starting
and ending position, between which the camera can move back and forth.
Two-point PAN SCAN
The domes moves horizontally from the starting point to the ending point at a set speed in the set direction.
PRESET (PRESHOT)
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.
PRESET TOUR (Vector Scan)
The dome will moves the continually from the 1st preset to the 16th. If one preset is not set, it skips and moves
directly to the next preset.
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 (depends on the camera).
Auto Focus
The auto focus enables the camera to focus automatically to maintain clear video images
User can also press FAR and NEAR to focus. It will resume auto focus when user does P/T/Z controlling.

Auto Iris
The auto iris enables the camera to iris automatically to maintain clear video images
User can also press OPEN and CLOSE to focus. It will resume auto iris when user do P/T/Z controlling.
Backlight Compensation
When there is bright light source in the background, the subject will be dark, like a black shadow. Backlight
compensation video gain done either manually or automatically to correct the exposure of subjects that are in front
of a bright light source, avoid unclearness of the target in bright background.

2.1 Preparation
2.2 Precautions to Installation

HD IR AHD Intelligent High Speed Dome User Manual

2.1 Preparation
1. Regulations
1）All electrical safety and fire regulations should be strictly followed.
2）Please check if your camera and accessories are all included in the product package, make sure the location is
suitable for installation and application of the dome, as specified in the manual.
2. Location checking
Make sure there is enough space for the dome and accessories in the chose location.
3. Check the supporting strength of the chose location
Make sure the ceiling or wall where the dome will be installed is strong enough to support 4 times of the weight
of domes and its accessories.
4. Preparing of cables
Select video cable according to required transmitting distance. Basic requirements of coaxial cable:
1）75Ω；
2）Brass cable；
3）95% copper braid, tinned
2.2 Precautions to Installation
1．Read this manual carefully before installation.
2．The power supply and the voltage should be the same as indicated on the cable. Standard voltage is AC24V,
the voltage should be within AC24V±10%.Long-time working of dome under too low or too high voltage
will cause abnormal working. Keep the power consumption above 40W, otherwise, the restart or controlling
of dome will be abnormal.
3．Continuing exposure of camera to strong light will damage CMOS and result in bad image or no display.
4．The outdoor dome is water-proof as well as moisture resistant (IP66). If the dome is wired improperly, the
rain will enter the dome along the cable, thus damaging the circuit board and even the camera. The right and
wrong wiring are shown in the following pictures:

3.2.3 Wire of camera is shown as follows：
3.2.3.1 one-dome device connection
The one-dome device connection allows the user learn the wiring quickly, and also makes the installation,
adjusting, testing and exhibition easier. Read the below chart carefully for connection when you use the apparatus
for the first time. Any wrong wiring may cause permanent damage or damage to other equipments.
Following are 3 connection methods, for users’reference:
Caution: No operation is allowed when dome is powered-up.
3.2.3.2 Multi-dome device connection.
When connecting many dome devices together, the user can embed multi-device system with auxiliaries such
as arrester device, video matrix, DVR and alarm box for system integration.
AC24V: Power supply of dome device, which will convert AC 220V（50HZ）input to AC24V output and
supply to the dome device.
