Integrated with the built-in pan/tilt unit, the speed dome features highly sensitive response and
reliable performance. The speed dome can be adopted in various surveillance fields with its
full-integral functions and features, such as corridor, large venue, meeting room, station, community,
etc.
1.2 Functions
Note: The functions vary according to the different models of the speed dome.
Coaxial Control
The speed dome with a specified DVR or controller can be sent the control signals via coaxial cable
(BNC cable).
OSD (On Screen Display)
The on-screen display is an image superimposed on a screen picture, used for displaying
information and menu.
Self-adaptive Protocol
While using RS485 control, the speed dome is compatible with PELCO-D, PELCO-P and PRIVATE-Code,
etc., and is capable of being self-adaptive to these protocols without selecting protocol by DIP
switch settings. While using coaxial control, the speed dome is self-adaptive to PELCO-D and
PRIVATE-Code protocols.
Keyboard Control
The pan/tilt movement and zoom actions of dome can be controlled by the control keyboard, DVR,
matrix, etc.
Limit Stops
The dome can be programmed to move within the limit stops (left/right, up/down) which are
configurable by the control keyboard, DVR or client application software.
Scan Mode
The dome provides 5 scanning modes: pan scanning, tilt scanning, frame scanning, random scanning
and panorama scanning. The scanning speed can be set by OSD menu from level 1 to 40, with the
corresponding speed ranging from 1°/second to 40°/second.
Preset Freeze Frame
This feature freezes the scene on the monitor when going to a preset. This allows for smooth
transition from one preset scene to another and also guarantees that masked area will not be
revealed when going to a preset.
Presets
Each of the user-definable presets can be programmed to use pan, tilt, camera settings and other
settings. When preset is called, the dome will automatically move to the defined position. User is
allowed to add, modify, delete and call each preset.
The on-screen label of the preset title, time, zoom and other operations can be programmed by
menu and displayed on the monitor.
Auto Flip
In manual tracking mode, when a target object goes directly beneath the dome, the dome will
automatically rotate 180 degrees in horizontal direction to maintain continuity of tracking.
Privacy Mask
The privacy mask allows a user to program user-defined areas that cannot be viewed by the
operator of the dome system. A masked area will move with pan and tilt functions and
automatically adjust in size as the lens zooms telephoto and wide.
Proportional Pan
Proportional pan automatically reduces or increases the pan and tilt speeds in proportion to 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.
Auto Focus
The auto focus enables the camera to focus automatically to maintain clear video images.
DAY/NIGHT Auto-switch
The speed dome delivers color images during the day; as light diminishes at night, it switches to
night mode and delivers black and white images with high quality. You can also switch it to NIGHT
mode manually to increase the sensitivity in low light conditions.
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)
The wide dynamic range function helps the speed dome 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.
White Balance
White balance is the white rendition function of the speed dome to adjust the color temperature
according to the environment automatically. It can remove the unrealistic color casts in the image.
Patrol
The high speed dome support patrols. In each patrol, user is allowed to specify the scanning track
by a group of user-defined presets, with the scanning speed between two presets and the dwell
time at the preset separately programmable.
Pattern
A pattern is a memorized, repeating series of pan, tilt, zoom, and preset functions that can be
recalled with a command from a controller or automatically by a configured function (park, time
task, or power-up). By default the focus and iris are in auto status during the preset is being
memorized.
Power-off Memory
This feature allows the dome to resume its previous position or status after power is restored. By
default setting, the dome supports the power-off memory capability with the dwell time of 3
minutes.
Time Task
A time task is a preconfigured action that can be performed automatically at a specific date and
time. The programmable actions include: preset 1-8, pattern 1-4, patrol 1-8, pan scan, tilt scan,

Chapter 2 Getting Started
2.1 Power-up Action
After the power is connected, the speed dome will perform a series of self-test actions. It performs
lens actions firstly, then the panning movement and the tilting movement at last. After the
power-up self-test actions, the system information will be displayed for 2 minutes on the live view
screen as shown below.
Figure 2-1 System Information
Table 2-1 Descriptions of the System Information
Notes:
You have to configure the address and the baudrate for the speed dome the same as those in
the control devices.
The speed dome is self-adaptive to the PELCO-D, PELCO-P, PRIVATE-Code, VICON, and
You can operate the speed dome using a control device. The control devices include the control
keyboards, DVRs, DVSs, etc. In this and the following chapters, operation of the speed dome by the
IE browser of a DVR will be taken as an example.
Panning and tilting:
Click the direction buttons to control the pan and tilt movement of the speed dome.
Zooming:
Click the ZOOM+ and ZOOM- buttons to control the zooming.
Focusing:
Click the FOCUS+ and FOCUS- buttons to adjust the focus.
Iris:
Click the IRIS+ and IRIS- buttons to adjust the iris.
2.3 System-defined Presets
Purpose:
The section lists the system-defined presets with special functions. These presets cannot be edited
but can be only called through a control device, e.g. a DVS or web browser. To call the
system-defined presets remotely, you can choose the preset number from the list in the PTZ control
panel. Please refer to table below for details.
For instance, preset 99 is the “Start auto scan”. If you call the preset 99, the speed dome starts auto
scan function.
Note: For Manchester code control protocol, the system-defined presets with special functions are
shown as below:
Table 1-1 System-defined Presets of Manchester Code Control Protocol
2.4 On-screen Displays
The speed dome supports following on screen displays:
Zoom: Identifies the amount of magnification. The format is ZXXX. XXX is the zoom amount.
Direction: Displays panning and tilting direction, with the format of NEXXX TXXX. The XXX following
NE indicates the degrees in north east direction, while the XXX following T indicates the degrees in
tilt position.
Time: Supports for time display.
Preset Title: Identifies preset being called.
The OSD menu tree is shown in the following figure.
Note: The menu varies depending on the model of speed dome.
