Chapter 1 Brief Introduction
1.1 Description
Integrating the network remote monitoring capability with the functions of the high speed dome, the Network High Speed Dome is a
new product model which features easy installation and operation and facilitated wiring design. With built-in video server, the
Network Speed Dome is capable of providing the following new features: real-time video stream compressed and then transmitted via
network to different clients simultaneously; based on Ethernet, and analog video output supported; TI DAVINCI processing chip and
platform adopted to ensure high reliability and stability of performance; H.264 compression adopted to effectively save network
transmission bandwidth and HD storage space; dynamic configuration of encoding parameters; PPPoE, DHCP, UDP, MCAST and
TCP/IP protocols supported; bidirectional voice talk, OSD overlay and RS-485 serial port control; built-in Web Server allows control
of speed dome via IE browser; main stream and sub stream selectable for transmission; local and remote alarm response actions;
multi-zone motion detection with different sensitivity levels configurable; remote integrated storage based on IPSAN and NAS; and
watermark technology adopted for stream data to prevent unauthorized operation of the record files, etc.
The Network High-definition Speed Dome can be widely applied to various monitoring scenes such as the river, forest, road, railway,
airport, harbor, oil field, sentry, plaza, park, scenic spot, street, station, stadium, etc.
1.2 Outline
Network IR Speed Dome
1.3 Functions
Keyboard Control
The pan/tilt movement and zoom actions of dome can be controlled by the control keyboard, DVR, matrix, etc.
Limit Stops
The dome can be programmed to move within the limit stops (left/right, up/down) which are configurable by the control keyboard,
DVR or client application software.

Network IR Speed Dome User Manual

Auto Scan
The dome provides 5 scanning modes: pan scanning, tilt scanning, frame scanning, random scanning and panorama scanning. The
scanning speed can be set by menu from level 1 to 40, with the corresponding speed ranging from 1°/second to 40°/second.
Preset Freeze Frame
This feature freezes the scene on the monitor when going to a preset. This allows for smooth transition from one preset scene to
another and also guarantees that masked area will not be revealed when going to a preset.
Presets
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.
Label Display
The on-screen label of the preset title, azimuth/elevation, zoom and other operations can be programmed by menu and displayed on the
monitor.
Auto Flips
In manual tracking mode, when a target object goes directly beneath the dome, The video will automatically flips 180 degrees in
horizontal direction to maintain continuity of tracking. This function can also be realized by auto mirror image depending on different
camera models.
Privacy Mask
The privacy mask allows a user to program user-defined areas that cannot be viewed by the operator of the dome system. A masked
area will move with pan and tilt functions and automatically adjust in size as the lens zooms telephoto and wide.
3D Intelligent Positioning
The speed dome can be controlled with the 2 buttons and scroll of mouse can be used under PRIVATE-Code protocols with devices
and client software. Use the left key of mouse to click on the desired position in the video image and drag a rectangle area in the lower
right direction, then the dome system will move the position to the center and allow the rectangle area to zoom in. Use the left key of
mouse to drag a rectangle area in the upper left direction to move the position to the center and allow the rectangle area to zoom out..
Note: Please refer to Section 4.2.2 3D Intelligent Positioning for the specific instructions.
Proportional Pan/Tilt
Proportional pan/tilt automatically reduces or increases the pan and tilt speeds in proportion to the amount of zoom. At telephoto zoom
settings, the pan and tilt speeds will be slower for a given amount of joystick deflection than at wide zoom settings. This keeps the
image from moving too fast on the monitor when there is a large amount of zoom.
Auto Focus
The auto focus enables the camera to focus automatically to maintain clear video images.
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.
Low Light Electronic Shutter
The shutter speed will automatically slow down in low illumination conditions to maintain clear video images by extending the
exposure time. The feature can be enabled/disabled by the menu.
Backlight Compensation (BLC)
If a bright backlight is present, the subjects in the picture may appear dark or as a silhouette. Backlight compensation (BLC) enhances
objects in the center of the picture. The dome uses the center of the picture to adjust the iris. If there is a bright light source outside of
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.
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)

Network IR Speed Dome User Manual
9
When the Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) function is on, the dome is able to balance the brightest and darkest sections of a scene to
produce a picture that is better balanced in lighting and provides more details.
White Balance (WB)
This feature automatically processes the viewed image to retain color balance over a color temperature range. The default setting for
white balance is AUTO.
Patrol
The high speed dome provides up to 8 patrols. In each patrol, user is allowed to specify the scanning track by a group of user-defined
presets, with the scanning speed between two presets and the dwell time at the preset separately programmable.
Pattern
A pattern is a memorized, repeating series of pan, tilt, zoom, and preset functions that can be recalled with a command from a
controller or automatically by a configured function (alarm, park, time task, or power-up). By default the focus and iris are in auto
status during the pattern is being memorized.
Power Loss Position
The dome supports the power loss position capability with the predefined dwell time. It allows the dome to resume its previous
position after power is restored.
Alarm Response Action
The speed dome supports 7 alarm inputs which can be set to NO (normally open), NC (normally closed). Upon having received the
alarm input signal, the dome will automatically activate a user-defined action, which can be programmed to patrol, pattern or preset
callup.
Note: This feature varies depending on camera models.
AUX Output
An auxiliary output is a configurable signal from the dome back box that can trigger another device to operate. The dome provides 1
auxiliary outputs: AUX1/AUX2. The auxiliary output type can be set to NO or NC by menu. And the alarm dwell time is configurable
as well.
Note: This feature varies depending on camera models.
Time Task
A time task is a preconfigured action that can be performed automatically at a specific date and time. The programmable actions
include: auto scan, random scan, patrol 1-8 ,pattern 1-4, preset 1-8,frame scan, panorama scan, tilt scan, day, night, reboot, PT adjust,
AUX1 ect.
User Management
The dome allows the users to be edited in groups with different levels of permission. In the admin login status, the user is allowed to
configure the user groups and user parameters. Multiple users are allowed to access and control the same network speed dome via
network simultaneously.
