Chapter 1 Overview

1.1 Description

Integrated with the built-in pan/tilt unit, the high 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.

Figure 1-1 Appearance

1.2 Functions

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

The speed dome is compatible with PELCO-D, PELCO-P, PRIVATE-Code, VICON and KALATEL-312
protocol, etc., and is capable of being self-adaptive to these protocols without selecting protocol by
DIP switch settings.

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.

Auto Scan

The dome provides 5 scanning modes: pan scanning, tilt scanning, frame scanning, random scanning

User Manual of 4-inch High Speed Dome

2

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.

Label Display

The on-screen label of the preset title, azimuth/elevation, 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 90 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.

3D Intelligent Positioning

The speed dome can be controlled with the 2 buttons and scroll of mouse can be used under
PRIVATE-Code protocols with devices and client software. Click on a certain area and the device will
move to the scene with corresponding point as the center. When a rectangular area is selected by
left-clicking the mouse, device will move to its center and enlarge it. With right-clicking, the lens will
zoom in, and the scroll can easily make the lens zooming, and mouse operation automatically
incorporates zooming effect.

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.

Slow Shutter

Slow shutter is the function of extending the exposure time to accumulate more light when the light
condition is low. Thus, the image can be brighter.

Backlight Compensation (BLC)

If the speed dome focuses on an object against strong backlight, the object will be too dark to be
seen clearly. The BLC function can compensate light to the object in the front to make it clear, but

Normal control

E1

Cable is disconnected

E2

Cable is connected and data can be normally
received, but the address setting is incorrect

E3

Cable is connected and data can be normally
received, but the command setting is incorrect

this causes the over-exposure of the background where the light is strong.

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 provides up to 8 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 (alarm, 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.
Alarm Response Action
The speed dome supports 2 alarm inputs which can be set to NO or NC. Upon having received the
alarm input signal, the dome will automatically activate a user-defined action, which can be
programmed to: preset 1-8, pattern 1-4, patrol 1-8, pan scan, tilt scan, random scan, frame scan,
panoramic scan, color or B&W mode. After the alarm is cleared, the dome is capable of resuming its
previous activity or position.

AUX Output

An auxiliary output is a configurable signal from the dome back box that can trigger another device
to operate. The dome provides one auxiliary output. The auxiliary output type can be set to NO
(normally open) or NC (normally closed). And the alarm dwell time is configurable as well.

Manchester Code Self-test

The speed dome supports Manchester code self-test for fault diagnostic. You can enable the
Manchester code diagnosis function by setting the positions 8 and 9 of DIP Switch to ON. The
corresponding fault code will be displayed on the screen (not available during park time) while
adopting Manchester protocol.

E4

Cable is connected and data can be normally
received, but the settings of address and
command are incorrect

E5

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 1-4, pan scan, tilt scan,
random scan, frame scan, panorama scan, day/night mode or none.

Zone

A zone is a user-defined area. The dome provides eight zones, each with configurable label. If the
dome has dwelled at a zone without receiving any command over 4 minutes, this feature will enable
the dome to perform panorama scan within the zone.

Password

The dome features password protection to prevent unauthorized changes to the dome settings.

Camera Title

Title text is the label used to identify the camera viewed on the monitor. Up to 15 characters can be
used for a title

RS-485 Failure Diagnostics

In the presence of failure at the transmitting and receiving terminals of RS-485 communications, the
speed dome is capable of performing self-test and detecting the fault results which will be displayed
on the screen.
