The speed can be adjusted automatically according to zooming times;
Auto focus lens and auto white balance, BLC function;
Multi protocol compatible (Pelco-P, Pelco-D etc);
Alarm input, Alarm output, Alarm action.
2.2. FUNCTIONS
Object Tracking
In auto tracking mode, the camera can track a moving object in the target area with auto pan, tilt and zoom which realizes
smart unattended surveillance.
Tracking Cruise
The tracking function can be activated during cruise. At a preset of the cruise list, the camera can track moving objects
automatically.
Soft Address
The camera address can be programmed with built-in OSD menu, and the user does not need to dismount the camera
from field or do any screw work.
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)
A camera is intended to provide clear images even under back light circumstances where intensity of illumination can
vary excessively, when there are both vary bright and vary dark areas simultaneously in the field of view. WDR enables
the capture and display of both bright areas and dark areas in the same frame, in a way that there are details in both
areas, i.e. bright areas are not saturated, and dark areas are not too dark. Please note that WDR function is not available on
all models.
Day/Night Function
The IR cut filter of camera module inside the camera can be removed by sending special command, so that the camera
can change from color to mono. The picture is clear even if the illumination is as low as 0.01Lux.
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) and Day/Night function are based on the relative modules. Please refer to technical
parameters.
Proportional Pan
Proportional pan automatically reduces or increases the pan and tilt speeds in proportion to the zooming times. 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 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.
Save/Call Preset
Preset function is that dome saves current horizontal angle and title angle of pan/tilt, zoom and position parameters into

3 / 43
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.
Lens Control
1) Zoom control
User can adjust zoom wide or tele by controller to get desired image.
2) 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 matrix, please refer to control keyboard or matrix operation manual for
detailed operation. When adjusting position is set with focus status, it goes back to auto focus.
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.
3) 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. Up to 30 presets can be
saved in each cruise tour.
Patterns
A pattern is a saved, repeating, series of pan, tilt, zoom and preset functions that can be recalled with a command from a
controller or automatically by a programmed function (alarm action or park action or power-up action).
Auto, Random and Frame Scan
Auto Scan: Make the camera scan 360º ranging from the current position.
Random Scan: Make the camera random scan 360º ranging from the current position.
Frame Scan: This feature freezes the scene on the monitor when going to a preset. This allows for smooth transition from
one preset scene to another.
Zones Setting
A zone is a pan area, defined by a left and right limit, on the 360º pan plane. The camera has eight zones, each with a
6-character label.
Alarms Input
The camera has four alarm inputs, which can be programmed as high, medium or low priority.When an alarm is received,
an input signal to the camera triggers the user-defined action (go to preset, run pattern, etc.) programmed for the alarm.
Auxiliary Output
An auxiliary output is a programmable signal from the camera back box that can trigger another device to operate. An
auxiliary output is programmable to trigger from an alarm or from a controller.

Password Protection
The camera features password protection to prevent unauthorized changes to the camera settings. You can open the
System Information and Display Setup Screens, but cannot access any of the camera Settings menus.
Windows Blanking
A set window can be saved so that it is the only blanked tilt area of the scene. All other parts of the tilt area of the scene
will be visible.
Windows blanking is only available for Sony Modules at present.

4.2.2. CONTROLKEYPAD
COMM AND SYNTAX
Controls can use the joystick, single keys or key combinations. The key command syntax is shown below.

zoom. If the option is ON, the maximum rotat
Keycommand syntax
The syntax used in this manual for controls using keys consists of various elements (words and three digit numbers).
Each command is always in braces and each element is separated by commas. Each word or decimal digit used in the
syntax is identified by a corresponding key on our control panel. Words can be enclosed in round brackets, square
brackets or no brackets. Three digit decimals are never enclosed in brackets.
The following words only can be used: CALL, ESC, OPEN, CLOSE, NEAR, FAR, ZOOM OUT, ZOOM IN, CAM, MON, SCAN, ENTER
The decimal digits are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
and 9. Some application examples of controls are shown in detail below.
Using the joystick
A command can also be given simply by moving the joystick because this generates actions on the camera or OSD (On
Screen Display) menu.
Using a single key
Pressing a single key can cause camera action. For example, the following command will zoom out of the frame.
Underling indicates the key is in use.
ZOOM OUT
Keycombinations
Pressing a key combination in rapid sequence extents the command set. For example, the following command (select
camera address 1) is performed by pressing the following keys:
4.2.3. CONTROLKEYPAD
COMM AND TYPES
There are four command types:
Select camera,
Move camera (tilt and pan, zoom, adjust focus and IRIS opening, go to preset positions),
Adjust camera operation mode using menus,
Various quick controls operable from the control panel.
The method for accessing these controls will be shown in detail in the following paragraphs.
4.3. SELECT A CAMERA
The camera to be controlled must be selected first. For example, the following command selects camera 1:
After this operation, the message CAM 1 will appear on the control panel display.
4.4.
CAMERA MOTIONS
After selecting a camera, it can be moved either directly using the control panel as described below:
Panning (horizontal) and tilting (vertical).
Zooming, focusing and IRIS opening.
Preset positions programming and recalling.
These functions can be directly accessed using a single key or joystick or a simple key combination.
4.4.1. PAN AND TILT
The camera may be moved using our keyboard controller. Move the joystick vertically to tilt the camera and horizontally to
pan it.
The maximum pan span is from 0º to 360º with continuous rotation. The maximum tilt span is from -5º (camera in vertical
position) and 92º.
The panning and tilting speed can be modulated by operating the joystick appropriately.
Note that the maximum speed that can be obtained by operating the joystick is not always equal to that programmed in
the working settings. This in fact depends on the value of the PROPORTIONAL PAN setting in the MOTION menu and the
ion speed which can be obtained using the joystick is proportional to the
14 / 43
1 + CAM
1 + CAM

15 / 43
magnification used to obtain the best frame.
Panning (horizontal)
Tip the joystick rightwards to turn the camera horizontally clockwise and tip it leftwards to turn it anticlockwise.
If no advanced options are set (e.g. range limits set enabled), the camera can be turned continuously without
interruptions.
The pan span may be limited between two angles in DOME SETTING1 > MOTION > MANUAL LIMIT.
Tilting (vertical)
Tip the joystick upwards to turn the camera vertically upwards and tip it downwards to turn the camera downwards. The
camera rotation is limited upwards by the horizontal plane or downwards by the vertical axis.
Performance will change considerably near the vertical axis according to whether the AUTO FLIP is on or not (default
setting is on).
With AUTO FLIP off, the camera will stop in perfectly vertical position and will stop turning when the joystick is tipped
downwards.
With AUTO FLIP on, the camera will proceed over the vertical axis when the joystick is tipped downwards. This is
because, when the vertical axis is reached, the camera flips automatically by 180 degrees and resumes the initial
trajectory.
The AUTO FLIP function can be used to follow a subject arriving in a certain direction passes under the camera and
continues in a straight line. To do this, hold the joystick tipped downwards following the movement of the subject. Observe
that in this case the joystick performance after the camera passes over the vertical axis opposite to the normal axis
because tipping the joystick downwards will turn the camera upwards.
Normal operation of the joystick will be resumed as soon as the downward tip is interrupted (also only for an instant). At
this point, to follow the subject in the same direction, you will need to tip the joystick upwards, as you would normally.
4.4.2. ZOOM
The camera frame may be adjusted by using the ZOOM IN and ZOOM OUT commands. Use ZOOM IN to zoom
into the detail; use ZOOM OUT to zoom out.
Zoom can be set as per the zoom specifications of relative modules, combined between optical zoom and digital zoom.
Refer to the specific section for programming the function.
4.4.3. FOCUS
The camera focus may be adjusted manually using the NEAR and FAR controls.
As the auto focus function is always on, a manual setting made using NEAR and FAR will be kept only until a pan,
tilt or zoom command is used. In this case, auto focus will adjust focus automatically again.
Refer to the specific section for additional details on focusing and on the various options.
The auto focus function cannot work correctly in the following cases:
The object to be focused on is not in the middle of the image.
There are far and near objects in the frame.
Bright light is shining on the subject.
The subject is behind a glass pane covered in drops or dust.
The subject is moving very quickly.
The subject is not well lit.
The subject is too big.
4.4.4. IRIS OPENING
The IRIS opening may be controlled manually using the OPEN and CLOSE commands.
The manual setting made using OPEN and CLOSE will be kept only until a pan, tilt or zoom command is used if the

16 / 43
automatic IRIS opening option is enabled (the default setting is on). In this case, the opening will be controlling
automatically again.
Refer to the specific section for additional details on IRIS opening adjustment
4.4.5. PRESET
POSITIONS PROGRAMMING AND RECALLING
The camera can store up to 256 panning, tilting and zooming configurations (called preset positions) which can be
recalled at any time. The manual focusing and IRIS opening settings cannot be stored.
When storing presets, it is important to remember that some are reserved and cannot be either stored or used for
positioning the camera. Presets from 80 to 99, Presets from 100 to 103, 170 to 173
The following examples show how to program the free Presets and recall them.
Example: programming preset number 32
1) Position the camera in a certain pan, tilt and zoom configuration.
2) Enter the command 32 + HOLD DOWN THE SHIFT KEY + 32.
From this moment on, simply enter the command 32 + CALL to move the camera to the preset position.
The saved value will be written over if the setting is reprogrammed.
The Presets are saved in a permanent memory area of the camera where they are maintained also when power
is disconnected. However, RESTORE FACTORY DEFAULT will delete all preset values.
Press 83 + CALL to delete all the saved presets.
The Presets store the coordinates according to an angular reference system. Therefore, the reference system
zero point may become misaligned with the camera mechanics after prolonged use of the tilting and panning
functions. Minor inaccuracies in preset positions may occur. In this case, calibrate the angular coordinate system
using the REBOOT SYSTEM command. This calibration is automatically run when the camera is switched on.
