SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
Keyboard Control
The pan/tilt movement and zoom actions of camera 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 congurable by the control keyboard,
DVR or client application software.
Scan Modes
The dome provides 5 scanning modes: pan scanning, tilt scanning, frame scanning, random scanning and panorama scanning.
Preset Freezing
This feature freezes the scene on the monitor when moving to a preset. This allows for smooth transition from one preset scene to
another and also guarantees that masked areas will not be revealed when moving to a preset.
Presets
Each of the user-denable presets can be programmed to use pan, tilt, camera settings and other settings. When a preset is called,
the dome will automatically move to the dened position. The user can add, modify, delete and call each preset.
Label Display
The on-screen label of the preset title, PT display, zoom, and time can be displayed on the monitor.
Auto Flip
In manual tracking mode, when a target object moves directly beneath the dome, the dome will automatically rotate 180 degrees
in the horizontal direction to maintain continuity of tracking.
Privacy Mask
The privacy mask allows the user to dene areas of the eld of view that cannot be seen by the operator of the camera. A masked
area will move with pan and tilt functions and automatically adjust in size when the lens zoom changes.
3D Positioning
The camera can be controlled with a mouse and the PRIVATE-Code protocol. Clicking a spot can direct the camera position the spot
in the center of the image. When a rectangular area is selected with the left mouse button, the camera will move to its center and
enlarge it. Right click the mouse to zoom in. The scroll wheel can control lens zoom. Mouse cursor movement can also control zoom
eects.

36x PTZ IR Outdoor Camera User Manual
Proportional Pan/Tilt
Proportional pan/tilt 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 are slower 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
Auto focus enables the camera to focus automatically to maintain clear video images.
Day/Night Auto-switch
The camera provides color images during the day. As light diminishes at night, it switches to night mode and delivers black and
white images with high quality.
Slow Shutter
Slow shutter function extends the exposure time to accumulate more light when the light condition is low, resulting in a brighter
image.
Backlight Compensation (BLC)
Back Light Compensation ensures proper exposure of subjects in the foreground. Back light compensation adjusts the camera’s
exposure in challenging lighting environments such as hallways and doorways, so the entire image of the subject in the foreground
is properly exposed when there is a bright light source behind the subject.
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)
This feature enables the camera to produce clearer images in less than ideal lighting conditions. WDR balances the contrast of light
and shadow to improve visibility in dark areas within a scene.
White Balance
White balance is the white rendition function of the camera to automatically adjust the color temperature according to the
environment. It can remove the unrealistic color casts in the image.
Patrol
The camera provides up to 8 patrols. In each patrol, you can specify the scanning track by a group of user-dened 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 congured function. By default the focus and iris are in auto status during the preset is being
memorized.
SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION

Power-o Memory
This feature causes the camera to resume its previous position or status after power is restored.
Time Task
A time task is a precongured action that can be performed automatically at a specic 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.
Park Action
This feature allows the dome to start a predened action automatically after a period of inactivity.

SECTION 2
Installation
Before you start, check the package contents and make sure that the device in the package is in good condition and all the assembly
parts are included. Included are:
• AC power supply
• Installation guide (this user manual)
Mounting brackets are sold separately.
2.1 Setup the camera address and baud rate DIP switches
DIP switches inside the camera are used to manually congure the RS-485 device address and network baud rate. The device
address and baud rate can also be congured remotely through the OSD (on-screen display) using a control console, DVR or DVS.
See “SECTION 4 Using the OSD Menus” on page 18 for more information.
NOTE
If you are installing several RS-485 network devices at the same time, manually setting the DIP switches for address and
baud rate will help reduce connectivity issues during the initial setup of those devices.
There are two DIP switch groups, SW1 switches 1 .. 8 (sets the RS-485 network address) and SW2 switches 1 and 2 (sets the
RS-485 network baud rate). The address setup for the camera must be unique for each device on the RS-485 network. However,
the baud rate switched must be congured to the same baud rate used by the other devices on the network. These switches are
accessible when the “SWITCH” cover is removed. To setup the DIP switches, do the following:
1. While viewing the camera from the underside, remove the plate marked “SWITCH”.

2. Locate DIP switch packages SW1 (switches 1 .. 8) and SW2 (switches 1, 2).
3. Set the device address DIP switches 1 through 8 using the following table. Each device on the RS-485 network must have
a dierent address. You can congure up to 256 devices (address 0 .. 255) on the RS-485 network. The switch package
indicates which position is ON and which is OFF.
