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 8.0 and above version, Apple Safari 5.02 and above version,

Mozilla Firefox 5 and above version and Google Chrome 18 and above versions.

1.2 Functions

The functions vary depending on the models of speed dome.

 PTZ Limits

The dome can be programmed to move within the PTZ limits (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 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

Page 11

User Manual of E Series Network Speed Dome

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

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.

Page 12

User Manual of E Series Network Speed Dome

 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.
