Pelco P Protocol Control Systems
To compensate for Pelco P protocol control systems from other manufacturers, set SW2-3 to the ON position. This may improve dome control
with some of these control systems.
SW2 SWITCHES 4 AND 5: SERIAL PORT SETTINGS
RS-422 Setting (Default)
SW2-4 and SW2-5 should both be set to the OFF position for RS-422 setting.
For control, only two wires should be connected to the RX- and RX+ connectors on the circuit board inside the back box. For bidirectional control,
four wires should be connected to the RX-, RX+, TX-, and TX+ connectors on the circuit board inside the back box.
RS-485, 4-Wire Setting
SW2-4 should be set to OFF and SW2-5 should be set to ON if a 4-wire serial port connection is used with RS-485.
NOTE: This setting is most commonly used with Pelco Endura® systems.
RS-485, 2-Wire Setting
SW2-4 and SW2-5 should both be set to the ON position if a 2-wire serial port connection is used with RS-485.
This setting is used to allow the Spectra dome system to transmit and receive commands on the same pair of wires. Only two wires should be
connected to the RX- and RX+ connectors on the circuit board inside the back box.
SW2 SWITCHES 6 TO 8: BAUD SETTINGS
Pelco D-type controllers are set for 2400 baud. The default setting for the dome drive is 2400 baud. If you are using a Pelco D-type controller, do
not reset SW2 switches 1 to 3 or SW2 switches 6 to 8.
Pelco P-type controllers can operate at 2400, 4800, and 9600 baud. Set the SW2 switches (6, 7, and 8), located on the base of the dome drive, to
the same baud as the Pelco P-type controller.

IR CUT FILTER
Spectra IV dome systems have two modes of operation: color, and black-white. You can increase sensitivity in low light conditions by switching
to black-white mode (removing the IR cut filter). Color mode is preferred in normal lighting conditions.
The following are the settings for the IR cut filter:
OFF: Manual operation is controlled by preset 88 (filter IN) and 89 (filter OUT).
AUTO (default): Automatic operation is controlled by the auto IR level setting.
IN: Images are always displayed in color mode.
OUT: Images are always displayed in black-white mode.
NOTE: The IN and OUT settings are available when editing camera settings through the Camera and Presets menus (refer to Camera on page 23
and Presets on page 34).
Auto IR Level
The auto IR level is the light level at which the infrared filter switches IN or OUT.
Following are the available settings for the auto IR level:
DUSK (default): Approximately 6 lux (black-white); approximately 13 lux (color).
DARK: Approximately 0.1 lux (black-white); approximately 2 lux (color).
NOTES:
•If backlight compensation is ON and the IR cut filter switches OUT in normal lighting conditions, adjust the Auto IR Level to a darker setting.
Refer to Backlight Compensation on page 27.
•Low light does not mean no light. Some type of illumination is required (street light, IR light, etc.). The camera is not sensitive to IR light
when the IR cut filter is IN.
Low Light Focus
(Applies to 27X and 35X models only.)
If you are using an IR illuminator, the low light focus feature of the camera can be tuned to correspond to the setting of the illuminator.
There are three low light focus settings:
OFF (default): Low light focus is not activated.
850NM: Low light focus is tuned to 850 nm (nanometers).
Shutter speed is the duration of the electronic shutter. You can configure the shutter speed to operate automatically (Auto) or manually
(Numeric Value).
AUTO (default): The electronic shutter speed is set automatically by the amount of light sensed by the camera.
NUMERIC VALUE: Spectra IV dome systems have several numerical shutter speed settings. The higher the number, the faster the electronic

AGC LIMIT
AGC limit allows users to adjust how the system balances AGC (automatic gain control) and electronic shutter in low light conditions. As scene
lighting decreases, the system will automatically adjust, adding a mixture of AGC and slow shutter according to the AGC limit setting. AGC limit
can be set between 0 and 40, with 40 applying maximum AGC before slow shutter. In contrast, setting AGC limit to 0 will force the system
software to apply maximum slow shutter (as defined by the low light limit setting) before any AGC is applied. The default AGC settings vary
depending on camera model.
NOTE: The maximum slow shutter that the system will achieve is 1/2 second shutter (refer to Low Light Limit on
page 24).
AUTO IRIS
Auto iris is the lens function that automatically opens and closes the iris in response to changing light conditions.
You can configure the auto iris to operate automatically or at a user-defined level.
OFF: Auto iris is disabled, and control is always manual.
AUTO (default): The iris is adjusted automatically to produce a constant vide

Auto Iris Peak
Increasing the peak value will cause the auto iris circuit to react more to highlights or “peaks” in the picture. Decreasing this value will cause it
to use the average video level to adjust the iris.
AUTO SHARPNESS
Auto sharpness enhances picture detail by increasing the aperture gain of the camera and sharpening the edges in the picture.
There are two settings:
ON (default): The camera automatically maintains a normal sharpness mode.
OFF: The sharpness of the picture is set manually by configuring the sharpness level. Sharpness level settings range from 0 to 63.
AUTO WHITE BALANCE
This feature automatically processes the viewed image to retain color balance over a color temperature range. The default setting for auto white
balance is ON.
R GAIN: Adjusts the picture output in the red range. As you change the value, you will see the color change on your monitor.
B GAIN: Adjusts the picture output in the blue range. As you change the value, you will see the color change on your monitor.
BACKLIGHT COMPENSATION
If a bright backlight is present, the subjects in the picture may appear dark or as a silhouette. Backlight compensation (BLC) enhances objects in
the center of the picture. The dome uses the center of the picture to adjust the iris. If there is a bright light source outside of this area, it will
wash out to white. The camera will adjust the iris so that the object in the sensitive area is properly exposed.
There are two backlight compensation settings:
OFF (default): Backlight compensation is not activated.
ON: Backlight compensation is activated.
If backlight compensation is ON, decrease the auto iris level setting and adjust the auto IR level to a darker setting. Refer to Auto Iris Level on
page 26 and Auto IR Level section on page 25.
ELECTRONIC IMAGE STABILIZATION
(Applies to 35X models only.)
Electronic image stabilization is a feature of the camera that can compensate for some forms of external influences. In all cases, care should be
taken to make sure that any dome system is mounted to a rigid location.
In the event that vibration is introduced to the dome system, a user can select one of the electronic image stabilization settings in the menu. The
available settings are OFF, 5 Hz, and 10 Hz. Users should apply each of the settings to the camera to see which one best addresses the vibration
that is affecting the video quality.
Electronic image stabilization will not correct for all ranges of vibration. If either of the settings fails to eliminate the vibration seen in the video,
other measures should be taken to isolate the vibration or to seek a more rigid mounting location.
NOTES:
•When electronic image stabilization is applied, digital slow shutter and wide dynamic range are disabled. Zoom, image resolution, and
viewing angle are also limited when this feature is activated.
•Electronic image stabilization cannot be used while in a preset that has motion detection activated.
WIDE DYNAMIC RANGE
(Applies to 27X and 35X models only.)
Wide dynamic range (WDR) balances the brightest and darkest sections of a scene to produce a picture that is better balanced in lighting and
provides more detail.
Available settings are OFF and ON; the default setting is OFF. When wide dynamic range is set to ON, the frame rate is reduced from the standard
30 to 15 frames per second (fps). Also, when this setting is ON, the iris will not close completely, even in manual mode.

FIELD ALIGN
Field align determines whether the camera produces progressive segmented frame output (PsF) or interlaced frame output. Analog video from the
camera is always output in separate fields as required for compatibility. This feature allows PsF to be recombined by an encoding device without
a time difference between fields, as is typically seen from interlaced analog video output. Enabling field align requires that the encoding device
you are using always combines the odd and even fields in the specified order.
There are three field alignment settings:
OFF (default): Field a

LOW LIGHT SHARPNESS
(Applies to 27X and 35X models only.)
Low light sharpness allows you to control the video sharpness in low-light scenes. The available settings are 20, 10, DEFAULT, –1
0, and –20.
Increasing the value increases sharpness in low-light scenes, but also increases video noise. Decreasing the value decreases video noise in
low-light scenes, but it also decreases image sharpness.
hanging the low light sharpness causes the camera to reset, which resets all camera settings to their factory defaults.
NOTE: C
MINIMUM FOCUS DISTANCE
(Applies to 27X and 35X models only.)
Minimum focus distance improves focus capability in low-light scenes, depending on the typical distance between the camera and objec
scene. There are two settings:
ts in the
30 CM (default): Impr
3 M: Improves
focus for scenes in which the camera is typically focusing on objects at a distance of 3 meters or more.
When the camera tilts downward and goes just beyond the vertical position, the dome rotates 180 degrees. When the dome rotates (flips), the
camera starts moving upward as long as you continue to hold the joystick in the down position. Once you let go of the joystick after the dome
rotates, joystick control returns to normal operation. The auto-flip feature is useful for following a person who passes directly beneath the dome.
oves focus for scenes in which the camera is typically focusing on objects at close range (less than 3 meters).
REFERENCE INFORMATION
MANUAL LIMITS SET SCAN LIMITSSET
MOTION
There are two auto flip modes:
ON (default): Auto flip mode is
enabled.
OFF: Auto flip mode is disabled.
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.
There are three proportional pan modes:
ON (default): Enables the proportional pan mode.
OFF: Disables proportional pan mode. The pan speed will not depend on the amount of zoom.
2X: Increases the speed of the proportional pan mode to twice that used when proportional pan is set to ON.
*This setting applies to Pressurized Spectra IV dome systems only.
C3463M-B (2/11)29
PARK TIME
This feature allows the dome to begin a specified operation (scan, preset, or pattern) after a configured period of inactivity.
Park time can be configured from 1 to 720 minutes (12 hours), or set to zero, which disables this feature. The default setting is zero.
Park Action
This feature will define the activity when the dome parks. The following settings are available:
NONE (default): No action.
AUTO SCAN: Dome starts auto scan operation.
FRAME SCAN: Dome starts frame scan operation.
RANDOM SCAN: Dome starts random scan operation.
PATTERN 1: Dome runs pattern 1.
PATTERN 2: Dome runs pattern 2.
PATTERN 3: Dome runs pattern 3.
PATTERN 4: Dome runs pattern 4.
PATTERN 5: Dome runs pattern 5.
PATTERN 6: Dome runs pattern 6.
PATTERN 7: Dome runs pattern 7.
PATTERN 8: Dome runs pattern 8.
PRESET 1: Dome goes to preset 1.
PRESET 8: Dome goes to preset 8.
(Only 27X and 35X models allow PATTERN 2 through PATTERN 8.)
SCAN SPEED
Scan speed is the degrees per second that the dome will pan when in a scan mode. Scan speed is adjustable from 1 to 40 degrees per second
through the camera menu. The default setting is 25 degrees per 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. Preset
freeze frame also reduces bandwidth when used with digital network systems such as PelcoNet™ and guarantees that blanked areas will not be
revealed when going to a preset.
There are three preset freeze frame settings:
ON: The image on the screen freezes when a preset is called. When the dome reaches the preset, the image is unfrozen and the preset scene is
displayed.
OFF: The image is never frozen.
AUTO (default): Freeze frame is turned on automatically if window blanking is ON. If window blanking is OFF, freeze frame is off.
LIMIT STOPS
Limit stops are configurable stops that limit the pan range of the dome. There must be two limits, a left and a right, to define an area.
There are two types of limit stops:
MANUAL: A manual (joystick) pan operation stops when a limit stop is reached.
SCAN: The dome reverses direction during random, frame, or auto scanning when a limit stop is reached.
30C3463M-B (2/11)
To set manual or scan stops:
1. Use the joystick to position the cursor beside SET MANUAL STOPS or SET SCAN STOPS.
2. Press Iris Open.
3. Follow the directions displayed on the monitor.
NOTE: In order for the manual or scan stops to work, the LIMIT STOPS option must be ON.
To clear manual or scan stops:
1. Use the joystick to position the cursor beside CLEAR MANUAL STOPS or CLEAR SCAN STOPS.
2. Press Iris Open.
3. Follow the directions displayed on the monitor.
AZIMUTH ZERO
Azimuth is the pan angle from zero to 359 degrees. Azimuth zero is the pan position you specify to be the zero degree point. Azimuth zero is
normally set to magnetic north. Once set, azimuth and compass readings are based on the set Azimuth Zero point.
To configure azimuth zero:
1. Use the joystick to position the cursor beside SET AZIMUTH ZERO.
2. Press Iris Open.
3. Follow the directions displayed on the monitor.
To clear azimuth zero:

Auto tracking allows the camera to automatically pan, tilt, and zoom to track objects of interest (people, cars, and so forth) when motion is
detected in a scene without requiring an operator to manually control the camera’s PTZ movements. There are two settings:
If the auto tracking setting is OFF, all other settings in the Auto Tracking menu are disabled.

DISPLAY SETUP
When display setup is enabled, you are notified that the camera detects motion in a scene. There are two settings:
ON (default): Display setup is enabled and a transparent blue rectangle appears in the area of the scene where motion has been detected.
OFF: Display setup is disabled.
SENSITIVITY
Sensitivity adjusts the camera’s sensitivity to motion, thereby adjusting the number of moving objects that will be tracked automatically. There
are two settings:
HIGH (default): Sensitivity is increased and most moving objects, regardless of size, will be detected and tracked.
LOW: Sensitivity is decreased and smaller movements that may not be as significant will not be tracked.
START TIME
Start time is the amount of time between the execution of a user command and the start of auto tracking. The start time can be set between
1 and 10 minutes. The default setting is 1 minute.
ZOOM
When zoom is enabled, the camera automatically zooms in or out to keep the object of interest in the main field of view. There are two settings:
ON (default): Automatic zoom is enabled.
OFF: Automatic zoom is disabled.
LOST ACTION
If the object of interest is lost from the field of view and there is no other moving object to track, the camera will either stop automatic PTZ or will
zoom out to attempt to relocate a moving object. There are two settings:
STOP (default): Automatic PTZ stops if the object of interest is lost from the field of view.
ZOOM OUT: The camera zooms out to attempt to relocate the object of interest or to locate a new moving object to auto track.
RETURN
Return is the amount of time after the last motion has been detected and the time at which the camera returns to the location where auto
tracking began. Return can be set between 10 and 60 seconds or it can be turned off. The default setting is OFF.
The model of the back box you are using limits the number of configurable presets that can be stored and retrieved in the back box memory. If you
are using an older model back box, you may configure and use up to the maximum number of presets available to the dome drive. However, if the
dome drive is changed, the back box model will limit the number of stored presets available to the new dome drive (refer to Ta bl e C).

An event is a preconfigured camera, park, scan, preset, pattern, window blanking, alarm, or auxiliary function that can be performed
automatically at a specific date and time.
For example, suppose a camera is set to run in a continuous patter
n that scans a parking lot during business hours Monday through Friday. On
Saturday and Sunday the camera needs to stop running the pattern and observe a gate. First, configure a preset to set the camera to observe the
gate. Second, schedule an event to activate the preset on the weekends. Finally, a second, separate event must be scheduled to end the first
event and allow the camera to return to the pattern on Monday.
NOTE: Events do not have a selectable duration. A second event must be scheduled to end a previous event.
Events can be configured from the Preset, Pattern, Window Blanking, Alarm, or Aux menus, or they can be configured from the Event menu.
