The state-of-the-art SpeedDome Ultra VII Day/Night with

Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) provides 230x total zoom,

23x optical and 10x digital. Digital signal processing (DSP 6)

provides enhanced clarity, color and detail regardless of

lighting conditions.

EIS reduces the vibration of the image without causing loss

of resolution. This feature is especially useful when the dome

is installed in places that subject it to shaking or moving,

such as a pole next to a highway.

Conserve hard drive space when recording digitally by

freezing an image when moving to a preset. Define privacy

zones to prevent users from viewing sensitive areas. Display

indicators on the monitor to denote the direction in which the

dome is pointing, the direction in which the dome is moving

and the dome’s azimuth (degree of tilt).

Establish a default “home position” preset, sequence or

pattern when the dome is not under active control. Statistics

on pan, tilt and zoom usage indicate how little or how often

the dome is controlled.

Process alarms internally with the dome, externally with the

controller or with both the dome and the controller.

Communicate with a host of systems–including those from

other vendors–via the internal multiprotocol receiver.

Other features include infrared mode, password protection,

dome-generated programmable on-screen text and user-

definable settings for features such as line-lock, maximum

zoom, direction indicators, proportional flip, AGC and white

balance.

The dome also provides two twist lock mounting base

options: an I/O board base with unsurpassed ease of

installation, service and maintenance, and a standard base

as a value priced alternative.

For outdoor use, the SpeedDome Ultra Outdoor Housing with

an optional vandal resistant kit is available. Protection from

even more harsh environments is provided by the

SpeedDome Ultra Pressurized Housing.

Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) wiring video transmission
enabled as standard

Supports NTCIP protocol–designed specifically for the
transportation market

Dome-generated on-screen text including direction
indicators

Up to eight privacy zones

Two mounting base options

Programmable presets, patterns and area names

DirectSet feature provides fast access to the most
frequently used dome features

96 presets store camera parameters (controller
dependent)

16 patterns including expanded commands and duration

16 preset sequences

Alarm inputs and outputs

Password protection

Automatic home position

Automatic proportional flip and automatic gain control
(AGC), line-lock and white balance (user-selectable on/off)
are provided.

The camera’s

23x optical zoom is combined with a 10x
digital magnifier, providing the power of a 230x total
zoom.

The SpeedDome Ultra VII Day/Night with EIS can clearly
distinguish scenes and colors in lighting conditions as
low as 0.5 lux and 0.009 lux in black and white mode.

In addition to SensorNet, Manchester, AD-UTC and
SEC RS-422 codes, the dome can be controlled via
other select manufacturers’ protocols such as Pelco

®

,

Panasonic

®

and Vicon®, making it a perfect choice for

installers wanting to replace older PTZs.

Up to eight different - sized privacy zones can be
programmed to prevent users from viewing sensitive
areas. The zones automatically change size proportionally.

The dome maintains statistics on how long it has been
on, duration of pan/tilt/zoom movements, number of
presets selected and other usage information.

Users can adjust the white balance manually or have
the camera set it automatically. White balance is
normally compensated for by the auto tracking white
balance. However, in some lighting conditions it may be
necessary to manually adjust the red and blue settings
for optimal viewing.

Users can set the automatic gain control (AGC) on/off,
and when it is turned off, users can manually set the
gain. AGC helps compensate for low lighting conditions.

Focus Preference provides continuous autofocus with
manual override.

Users can set automatic dome flip on/off. With this
feature turned on, the dome will automatically turn 180°
when the camera tilts to its lower limits and stays in that
position for a brief speed-proportional delay. Turned off,
users can still manually flip the dome.

The dome supports up to 16 patterns. Preprogrammed
default spiral pan pattern (“apple peel”) covers the
entire viewing area. Each pattern can store up to 99
commands each and be 10 minutes long.

The dome supports up to 16 preset sequences. Each
sequence can store up to 16 presets and have a 10
minute dwell time per sequence.

DirectSet

™

feature provides fast access to the most
frequently used dome features, when used with a
suitably equipped controller.

The dome supports up to 96 presets when used with
suitably equipped controllers. Presets now store camera
parameters such as EIS and IR mode settings and AGC
level.

Using the Freeze Frame feature before moving to a
preset minimizes hard drive usage when video is
digitally recorded.

Zoom adjusted programming (ZAP) automatically
adjusts pan and tilt speeds in proportion to zoom
position, even at maximum magnification.

Instant digital zoom immediately activates your digital
zoom settings (once the focus reaches the end of the
optical zoom range) every time you call a preset.

Alarms can be processed internally by the dome,
externally by the controller or by both the dome and
the controller. Each of the dome’s alarm inputs can
automatically call a preset or run a pattern when the
alarm is activated.

The dome supports up to 16 areas of various sizes.
Users can assign names (up to 19 characters long) and
boundaries to these areas.

Home position is the position that a dome returns to
after it remains inactive for a specific period of time.
This ensures that even when the dome is unattended, it
will always be pointing to a key area of the facility. The
user can define that preset, sequence or pattern and
also how long (from 1 to 60 minutes) before a dome
returns to its home position.

The dome generates on-screen text including dome,
area, preset, pattern and alarm names as well as
direction indicators. These indicators show users the
direction the dome is currently pointing, as well as the
direction in which it is moving. In addition, the direction
indicators display the dome’s azimuth (degree of tilt).

On-screen text also indicates zoom, focus and iris
status. All name information is user-definable and can
be turned on or off. When on, it can be set for solid or
translucent white, with or without black outline.
