ongratulations on your purchase of this PRO-747 / PRO-753 Pan, Tilt and Zoom*

(PTZ) Dome Camera! It is an ideal solution for monitoring a large area – a
combination of a high quality CCD image sensor mounted in a contained dome with
the option to pan fully 360º. Nothing will be out of sight for long!

Whether you wish to do this using the full complement of manual controls, or
program a detailed surveillance program for the camera to run, the PRO-747 /
PRO-753 gives you all the options you need to effectively monitor a large range of
locations without the hassle of multiple cameras.

The PRO-747 / PRO-753 comes mounted in a simple and unobtrusive dome, has
great low-light performance and includes a fully functional controller for operating
the camera and adjusting camera settings through the On-Screen Display
advanced feature. While the PRO-747 uses a fixed 6mm lens (so the zoom controls
will have no effect), the PRO-753 is equipped with a powerful 10x optical zoom –
great for getting up close to what you want to see.
