1. Important Safeguards
1. All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the
units is operated.
2. This unit should be operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of
power supply you plan to use, consult your appliance dealer or local
power company. For units
intended to operate from battery
power or other sources, refer to
operating instructions.
3. During the course of
transportation, storage and installation, the product should be
avoided from incorrect operations such as heavy pressing, strong
vibration etc., which can cause damage of product as there are
sophisticated optical and electronic devices inside the machine.
4. Do not attempt to disassemble the camera. In order to prevent
electric shock, do not remove screws or covers. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside.
5. Always follow all electrical standards for safety when it is in
operation. Adopt the particular power supply which is provided with
the unit. RS-485 and video signal should keep enough distance with
high voltage equipments and cables when they are in transmission.
Precautions for anti-lightning and anti-surging should be taken if
necessary.

6. The product should be indoor installed
and operated to avoid rain and
moisture. Do not use it in wet places. If
outdoor installation is needed, the
closed protect cover should be used
and it is absolutely prohibited to use it in open air independently.
7. Do not operate it in case temperature, humidity and power supply
are beyond the limited stipulations.
8. Do not let the camera aim at the sun or the object with extreme light
whatsoever it is switched on or not. Do not let the camera aim at or
monitor bright and standstill object for a long time.
9. Do not use aggressive detergent to clean the main body of the
camera. Wipe dirt with dry cloth. If needed, mild detergent can be
used suitably.
10. perate the intelligent speed dome camera with great care to avoid
shock or vibration. It operate incorrectly,
the Speed Dome could be damaged.
11. Do not place this unit on an unstable stand,
tripod, bracket, or mount. The unit may fall,
causing serious injury to a person and
serious damage to the unit. Use only with a stand, tripod, bracket,
or mount recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the
product. Any mounting of the unit should follow the manufacturer’s
instructions and should use mounting accessory recommended by
manufacturer.
12. If necessary, use a commercial lens cleaning paper to clear the lens
windows. Gently wipe the lens window until clean.

2. Description of Functions
The intelligent dome camera is a hi-tech CCTV product which
incorporates high-clarity color camera, panoramic speed-variable
PAN/TILT, multifunctional decoder, universal character generator,
CPU processor, memory chip into a whole. It can largely reduce
connection and installation processes of components in the system,
rise up reliability of the system and facilitate installation and
maintenance. Therefore it has advantages of beautiful appearance,
compact structure and easy operation.
1. Integrated Multi-Protocol Decoder
a. With integrated decoder and multi-protocol, it can integrate 16
kinds of communication protocols in maximum. As its baud
rate of communication can be adjusted, it is compatible with
many normal systems by easy setup inside the dome
camera, so it has stronger versatility.
b.RS485 serial control: addresses of camera 1-1023.
2. Integrated Speed-Variable PAN/TILT
a.Turning 360º horizontally and continuously with unlimited
positions and an adjustable speed High-speed from 0.2 - 300º/s;
Middle-speed 0 -30º /s, low speed 0.2 ~ 15º /s ，turning 0 - 90º
vertically with a speed up to 120 °/s ，Middle/low speed manual
hand control speed: 0 ~ 15°/s.
b.Running stably at low speed with super lower noise. Pictures
have no shaking.
c.High speed dome automatic 180º flip and panoramic monitoring
without blind point, the location precision up to ±0.1°, Middle/low
-3333
3

speed the location precision up to ±0.2°
3. High Intelligent Degree
a. Dome general functions
a.As much as 128 preset positions can be preset with powerless
memory
b. The camera can scan horizontally between two points and scan
speed can be modified. The positions of linear scan are optional
and the dome camera can scan the range larger or smaller than
180° between any two points with adjustable speed.
c.Six sets of programmable tour locus with 16 position each set.
The running speed and the detention time are adjustable
respectively;
d.The Integrated Multi-Protocol Multiple communication protocols
are integrated inside the dome camera with selectable baud rate
from 2400 bps to 19200 bps.
b. High speed dome special functions
a. The dome camera can simulate the PTZ route operated by you
in 40 seconds by the self-learning function of the locus with
powerless memory;.
b.Character verlapping. The humane structure of the menu
makes all setups and programming of the dome camera more
convenient and easy.
c.Proportional pan function. The speed dome will depend on 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. This
slowing does not happen when going to a preset, but does occur
in turbo mode when high zoom is selected. The minimum pan and
tilt speeds are 0.1 degree per second at full zoom.

4. Functions of the Camera (icons can be displayed on the
screen when the option DISPLAY of the camera is
ON，Only for 18× Camera)
a. Description of the Focus Control Mode: the user can adjust the
focus of the camera manually. When the camera is on near
focus, the icon appears on the screen; when on the nearest
state, the icon appears while on the far focus, the icon
appears.
b. Description of Backlight Compensation: when the object to be
shot is dark and looks dim, the user can open the backlight
compensation according to actual need and the icon appears
on the screen.
c. Description of White Balance: when the image has color distort
on the screen, the user can set different modes by orders.
There are 6modes for options: ① Indoor Mode ② utdoor
Mode ③ Touch Mode ④Automatic Trace of White
Balance ATW ⑤ Manual WB-MAN ⑥ Automatic Mode.
d. Description of Z M Control: user can “pull near” or “push
far” the lens according to actual conditions, and the symbol
appears on the screen in which the front part
means optical multiplication while the rear part means digital
multiplication.
e. Description of Electronic Shutter: it is fixed on 1/50 sec after
initialization when the camera is switched on, and the digital 50
appears on the screen.
f. Setup of Image Effect: the camera works on FF state under
normal condition and no image effect symbol appears on the
screen. When “B&W” appears on the screen, it means the
camera is on black and white state.
g. AE Mode : setup of Manual/Automatic.
h. Minimum illumination : It is used only when the external

3. Appendix to the Menu
3.1 Operation of Edit State of
Multi-Points Patrol.
When entering into edit state the
screen displays as follows:
N – Serial No. of patrol position
-10101010
10

P S – No. of preset position
SP – leaving speed
TM – dwelling time
After entering into edit area, screen shows as follows:
Edit Area, data of 2 patrol position appears on one line.
SEQ:01– It means the set No.1 patrol
CL SE: EXIT– Push CL SE to exit edit state
Both top and bottom lines display prompt and information of each
patrol is displayed on the middle of the screen. Data of 2 Patrol
points appears on one line. Move cursor by PAN LEFT/RIGHT
and modify data by TILT UP/D WN. Press buttons for one
second to speed up operation. Press CL SE button to exit edit
state and store modifications. The program will search the
position of the first “---” of P S, store dada before it and regard
data after it as invalid. In above figure, the program stores
previous four points with settable range from 1 to 63 and from 65
to 128. When “---” of P S appears, the tour range is ended. The
settable range of SP is from 0 to 8 (0 and 1 are the same with
fastest speed while 8 has the lowest speed). The settable range
of TM is from 0 to 99 seconds.
3.2 Operation of Title of Preset Point in Edit State.
When entering into edit state the screen displays as follows:In
the figure we find the preset point is
No.1 with title of “N TITLE”. Move
cursor by PAN LEFT/RIGHT and
-11111111

speed up operation. Press CL SE button to exit edit state and
store modifications. The title of preset point has 8 characters in
maximum such as 0-9, A-Z, +, - and space. Note: the first
character should be 0-9 or A-Z, otherwise it means to delete the
title of the preset point, and when preset point is adjusted, only
“N .XXX” spears without title to be displayed.
