3.1.1 Speed Dome Camera Communication Address
Setting
The communication 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 SW3 (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.
3.1.2 Speed Dome Camera Communication Protocol
Setting
The 1st, 2nd and 3rd bits in SW2 are used to set
communication protocol (see following figure)

3.1.4 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 in SW2. And the
matching resistance is connected to the RS-485 cable when the
“No. 8” switcher is set to “ON” status (see following figure).

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 Objective Tracking
A user can rotate the camera lens up, down, left and right to view
objects through the field of vision 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.
4.2 Preset Position Setting / Adjusting *
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 128 preset positions.
4.3 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.
4.3.1 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 0.1º/s to 280º/s (1-64grades) and dwelling
time from (1-60seconds).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* indicates the functions with default protocol, it might not
function by using other protocols.

4.3.2 Pattern Tours Setting
4.3.2.1. The Speed dome camera has the capacity to set up to 8
pattern tours each of which can have up to 16 preset
positions.
4.3.2.2. Add preset positions in the pattern tours.
4.3.2.3. Set dwell time (1-60 seconds) and the rotational speed
(1-64 grades) of each present positions.
4.3.2.4. Start pattern tours: Cruise scanning
4.4 Auto Scanning
4.4.1 Point A to B Scanning
The camera can also run a simple auto point A to B scan. By
using the speed dome control keyboard, you can set the
parameter of location and running speed at points A and B.
4.4.2 360° Scanning *
The camera can also start an auto cruise scan. This scan will
rotate 360° from the desired position. By using the speed
dome control keyboard, you can set the running speed. (We
suggest you do not use this function for too long time.)
4.5 Auto-Flip
When the speed dome camera is at vertical 90°, it flips
automatically.
