Safety Notes --- Important!!!
The following important notes must be followed carefully to run the camera and respective
accessories in total safety. The camera and relative accessories are called video system in this
section.
Before installing the camera, please read this manual carefully; when installing please follow
instructions of installation indicated in this manual. Please keep this manual for future use.
The following installation should be performed by qualified service personnel or system installers
in accordance with all local rules.
Before powering on the camera, please check the power voltage carefully. Make sure that you
are using the right power source.
Please put the power cable, video cable and control cable in safe place.
Do not operate the camera beyond the specified temperature and humidity. The camera’s working
temperature range is between -45℃~+65℃. The ambient humidity range is less than 95﹪.
When transporting, avoid violent shake or force to the camera.
To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or covers of the camera. There are no
self-serviceable parts inside. Refer to qualified service personnel for servicing.
Video cable and RS485 cable should be far away from other cables. Shielded and independent
wiring is necessary for video and control cables.
Never aim the lens of the camera at the sun or other extremely bright objects. Otherwise, it may
cause damage.
When cleaning the camera, please use soft cloth. If the camera is very dirty, wipe it off gently
with a soft cloth moistened with a weak solution of water and a neutral kitchen detergent. Wring
all liquid from the cloth before wiping the camera, then wipe off all remaining dirt with a soft, dry
cloth. Use lens cleaning paper to clean the lens.
Do not move the camera module manually. In doing so would result in malfunction of the camera.
Do not hold the camera module when carrying the video camera.
Make sure the camera is far away from area where radiation, X-rays, strong electric waves, or
magnetism is generated.

Save/Call Preset
Preset function is that dome saves current horizontal angle and title angle of pan/tilt, zoom and
position parameters into memory. When necessary dome calls these parameters and adjusts
Pan/Tilt and camera to that position. User can save and call presets easily and promptly by using
keyboard controller or infrared controller. The camera supports up to 256 presets.
Zoom control
User can adjust zoom wide or tele by controller and get desired image.
Focus control
System defaults Auto Focus mode, that is, the lens and camera will automatically adjust the focus
to get the best image.
Focus can also be controlled manually from the controller if required. Press Focus Near or Focus
Far key to manually focus. Focus can be manual via keyboard or other controller, please refer to
control keyboard or other controller operation manual for detailed operation.
The camera will NOT auto focus in the following status.
Target is not in the center of image.
Targets are in near and far at the same time.
Target is of strong light object. Such as spotlight etc.
Target is behind the glass with water drop or dust.
Target moves too fast.
Large area target such as wall.
Target is too dark or vague.
IRIS control
System defaults Auto IRIS. Camera can adjust immediately according to the alteration of back
ground illumination so that a lightness steady image can be achieved.
You may adjust IRIS by controller to get required image brightness, and call back Auto IRIS by
controlling the joystick.

Auto White Balance
Camera can automatically adjust white balance (WB) according to the alteration of background
lightness to give a true color image.
Back Light Compensation (BLC)
If a bright backlight presents, the subjects in the picture may appear dark or as a silhouette.
Backlight compensation enhances objects in the center of the picture. The camera uses the center
of the picture to adjust the IRIS. If there is a bright light source outside this area, it will wash out to
white. The camera will adjust the IRIS so that the object in the sensitive area is properly exposed.
Auto Cruise
The preset position is programmed to be recalled in sequence. This feature is called auto cruise.
Auto, Random and Frame Scan
Auto Scan: Make the camera scan 360°ranging from the current position.
Random Scan: Make the camera scan 360ºranging from the current position, pause at every 108 º.
Frame Scan: Make the camera scan between two set positions.
Image Flip
Enable you to view image easily when PTZ is either installed upside down or upright.
Auto Flip
When the camera tilts downward and goes just beyond the vertical angle, the camera rotates 180º.
When the camera rotates (flips), the camera starts moving upward as you continue to hold joystick
in the down position. Once you let go of the joystick after the dome rotates, joystick control returns
to normal operation. The auto-flip feature is useful for following a person who passes directly
beneath the camera.
[Note] For Frame Scan: The zoom at two limits shall be programmed the same.

Preparation
This section contains detailed instructions for installing the camera. These instructions assume that
the installer has a good knowledge of installation techniques and is capable of adopting safe
installation methods.
Dip Switch
The factory default is:
Camera Address
Protocol
Baud Rate
1
Pelco D
9600bps
The camera can detect and auto program its protocol (Pelco D, Pelco P) as well as baud rate
(2400bps, 4800bps, 9600bps, 19200bps) as per the whole video system.
Only the camera address setting is necessary. There are two ways to program camera address:
Soft address: via special preset functions (see Section 5.1 Special Control Panel Commands);
DIP Switch: The switches to configure these settings are located on the main board inside the
camera. See Fig. 1: DIP Switch.
Fig. 1: DIP Switch
The setting list of the camera address is enclosed in Annex.
[Note] The camera shall be rebooted after the switches are programmed.
