Chapter 1 Overview

1.1 System Requirement

System requirement of web browser accessing is as follows:
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP SP1 and above version / Vista / Win7 /
Server 2003 / Server 2008 32bits

CPU: Intel Pentium IV 3.0 GHz or higher
RAM: 1G or higher
Display: 1024×768 resolution or higher
Web Browser: Internet Explorer 7.0 and above version, Apple Safari 5.02 and above

version, Mozilla Firefox 5 and above version and Google Chrome8 and above
versions.

1.2 Functions

The functions vary depending on the models of speed dome.

 Limit Stops

The dome can be programmed to move within the limit stops (left/right, up/down).

 Scan Modes

The dome provides 5 scan modes: auto scan, tilt scan, frame scan, random scan and
panorama scan.

 Presets

A preset is a predefined image position. When the preset is called, the dome will
automatically move to the defined position. The presets can be added, modified,
deleted and called.

 Label Display

The on-screen label of the preset title, azimuth/elevation, zoom, time and dome
name can be displayed on the monitor. The displays of time and speed dome name
can be programmed.

 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

This function allows you to block or mask certain area of a scene, for preventing the
personal privacy from recording or live viewing. A masked area will move with pan

User Manual of Network Speed Dome

and tilt functions and automatically adjust in size as the lens zooms telephoto and
wide.

 3D Positioning

In the 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.

 Proportional Pan/Tilt

Proportional pan/tilt automatically reduces or increases the pan and tilt speeds
according to the amount of zoom. At telephoto zoom settings, the pan and tilt
speeds will be slower than at wide zoom settings. This keeps the image from moving
too fast on the live view image when there is a large amount of zoom.

 Auto Focus

The auto focus enables the camera to focus automatically to maintain clear video
images.

 Day/Night Auto Switch

The speed domes deliver color images during the day. And as light diminishes at night,
the speed domes switch to night mode and deliver black and white images with high
quality.

 Slow Shutter

In slow shutter mode, 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 or disabled.

 Backlight Compensation (BLC)

If you focus on an object against strong backlight, the object will be too dark to be
seen clearly. The BLC (Backlight Compensation) function can compensate light to the
object in the front to make it clear, but this causes the over-exposure of the
background where the light is strong.

 Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)

The wide dynamic range (WDR) function helps the camera provide clear images even
under back light circumstances. When there are both very bright and very dark areas
simultaneously in the field of view, WDR balances the brightness level of the whole
image and provide clear images with details.

This feature varies depending on speed dome models.

 White Balance (WB)

White balance can remove the unrealistic color casts. White balance is the white
rendition function of the camera to adjust the color temperature according to the
environment automatically.

 Patrol

A patrol is a memorized series of pre-defined preset function. The scanning speed
between two presets and the dwell time at the preset are programmable.

 Pattern

User Manual of Network Speed Dome

9

A pattern is a memorized series of pan, tilt, zoom, and preset functions. By default
the focus and iris are in auto status during the pattern is being memorized.

 Power Off Memory

The dome supports the power off memory capability with the predefined resume
time. It allows the dome to resume its previous position after power is restored.

 Scheduled 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, Aux Output, etc.

 Park Action

This feature allows the dome to start a predefined action automatically after a period
of inactivity.

 User Management

The dome allows you to edit users with different levels of permission, in the admin
login status. Multiple users are allowed to access and control the same network
speed dome via network simultaneously.

 3D Digital Noise Reduction

Comparing with the general 2D digital noise reduction, the 3D digital noise reduction
function processes the noise between two frames besides processing the noise in
one frame. The noise will be much less and the video will be clearer.

Appendix

Appendix 1 SADP Software Introduction

 Description of SADP

SADP (Search Active Devices Protocol) is a kind of user-friendly and installation-free
online device search tool. It searches the active online devices within your subnet
and displays the information of the devices. You can also modify the basic network
information of the devices using this software.

 Search active devices online

 Search online devices automatically

After launch the SADP software, it automatically searches the online devices
every 15 seconds from the subnet where your computer locates. It displays
the total number and information of the searched devices in the Online
Devices interface. Device information including the device type, IP address
and port number, etc. will be displayed.

Figure A.1.1 Searching Online Devices

Device can be searched and displayed in the list in 15 seconds after it went online; it

will be removed from the list in 45 seconds after it went offline.

 Search online devices manually

You can also click to refresh the online device list manually. The

newly searched devices will be added to the list.

Appendix 2 Port Mapping

The following settings are for TP-LINK router (TL-R410). The settings vary depending

on different models of routers.

Steps:

1. Select the WAN Connection Type, as shown below:

Figure A.2.1 Select the WAN Connection Type

2. Set the LAN parameters of the router as in the following figure, including IP

address and subnet mask settings.

Figure A.2.2 Set the LAN parameters

3. Set the port mapping in the virtual severs of Forwarding. You need to forward

ports 80, 8000, 8200~8210 and 554 for a speed dome.

 You can change 80, 8000 and 554 ports value in the speed dome with web browser or

client software.

 In the speed dome, the 8200~8210 ports change with the 8000 port with a constant

value of 200. E.g. if the 8000 port is changed to 8005, then the 8200~8210 ports should
be changed to 8205~8215.

Example:

When the speed domes are connected to the same router, you can forward the ports of a

speed dome as 80, 8000, 8200~8210 and 554 with IP address 192.168.1.23, and the

ports of another speed dome as 81, 8001, 8201~8211 and 555 with IP 192.168.1.24.

Refer to the steps as below:

Steps:

1. As the settings mentioned above, forward the port 80, 8000, 8200~8210 and 554

for the network speed dome at 192.168.1.23

2. Forward the port 81, 8001, 8201~8211 and 555 for the network speed dome at

192.168.1.24.

3. Enable ALL or TCP protocols.

4. Check the Enable checkbox and click .

Figure A.2.3 Port Mapping

The port of the network speed dome cannot conflict with other ports. For example,

some web management port of the router is 80. Change the speed dome port if it is the
same as the management port
