1. SAFETY NOTES --- IMPORTANT!!!
The following important notes must be followed carefully to run the PTZ camera and respective accessories in total safety.
The camera and relative accessories are called video system in this section.
Use the instructions correctly and fully
Read all safety rules and instructions carefully before starting to run the video system.
Follow the instructions in the instruction manual. Pay attention to all warnings on the camera and in the instruction manual.
Keep the safety notes and instructions for future reference.
Attachments & Accessories
Do not use attachments other than those recommended in the instruction manual because this could cause risks to the
products. Only use the recommended accessories for the camera for installation and operation.
Protect the video system
To protect the camera, avoid installing and using it in direct sunlight or any source of bright light. Bright light, like that from
a spotlight, can cause dimming and blurs. A vertical line may appear on the screen. This does not indicate a problem.
Keep it away from rain and dust. Do not touch the zoom lens with your fingers. If needed, use a soft cloth and methylated
spirit to remove traces of dust. Apply a specific cap to protect the zoom lens when the camera is not in use.
Install the camera away from video interference. The pictures could present interference if the leads are arranged near a
TV set or other device. Either move the leads or re-install the device to solve the problem.
Do not use any part of the video system near water, i.e. bathtubs, wash basins, sinks, tubs, on damp surfaces, near
swimming pools, etc. Do not insert objects of any kind through the camera openings to avoid touch live parts: fire and
electrocution risk. Do not pour any kind of liquid on the device.
A switch for performing maintenance operations on the camera must be included. Connect the camera only to the
electrical power supply shown on the ratings plate. Contact your retailer if in doubt.
Lay the power wires keeping them from being trodden on or squeezed by objects placed on top of them. Pay particular
attention to leads near plugs, screws and the product outlet.
Disconnect the power lead and the wiring to protect the camera during electrical storms or when it is left unattended and
not used for a long time. This will prevent damage to the video system in the event of lightening or electrical line overload.
Do not overload the electrical power and the extensions to prevent the risk of fire or electrocution.
Do not place the camera near or over radiators or sources of heat. Check that the area is suitably ventilated before
installing the camera inside partially closed areas (such as recesses, bookshelves and shelves).
Do not position the camera on unsteady trolleys, stands, brackets or tables. The camera could fall and severely injury
adults and children in addition to seriously damaging the product.

Max 36X optical, 0.01Lux of module specifications;
360º horizontal rotation at maximum speed of 240º /sec;
Auto cruise function with 256 preset positions;
Built-in OSD Menu, to change dome parameter, achieve auto scan, and pattern etc;
Features password protection to prevent unauthorized changes to the dome setting;
Windows blanking and tracking boundary for privacy purpose;
EasyClip installation features;
The feature of defining specific activity when the dome parks;

The speed can be adjusted automatically according to zooming times;
Auto focus lens and auto white balance, BLC function;
Multi protocol compatible (Pelco-P, Pelco-D etc);
Alarm input, Alarm output, Alarm action.
2.2. FUNCTIONS
Object Tracking
In auto tracking mode, the camera can track a moving object in the target area with auto pan, tilt and zoom which realizes
smart unattended surveillance.
Tracking Cruise
The tracking function can be activated during cruise. At a preset of the cruise list, the camera can track moving objects
automatically.
Soft Address
The camera address can be programmed with built-in OSD menu, and the user does not need to dismount the camera
from field or do any screw work.
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)
A camera is intended to provide clear images even under back light circumstances where intensity of illumination can
vary excessively, when there are both vary bright and vary dark areas simultaneously in the field of view. WDR enables
the capture and display of both bright areas and dark areas in the same frame, in a way that there are details in both
areas, i.e. bright areas are not saturated, and dark areas are not too dark.
Day/Night Function
The IR cut filter of camera module inside the camera can be removed by sending special command, so that the camera
can change from color to mono. The picture is clear even if the illumination is as low as 0.01Lux.
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) and Day/Night function are based on the relative modules. Please refer to technical
parameters.
Proportional Pan
Proportional pan automatically reduces or increases the pan and tilt speeds in proportion to the zooming times. 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 Flip
When the camera tilts downward and goes just beyond the vertical angle, the camera rotates 180º. When the camera
rotates (flips), the camera starts moving upward as you continue to hold 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 camera.
Save/Call Preset
Preset function is that dome saves current horizontal angle and title angle of pan/tilt, zoom and position parameters into
3 / 43
memory. When necessary dome calls these parameters and adjusts Pan/Tilt and camera to that position. User can save
and call presets easily and promptly by using keyboard controller or infrared controller. The camera supports up to 256
presets.
Lens Control
1) Zoom control
User can adjust zoom wide or tele by controller to get desired image.
2) Focus control
System defaults Auto Focus mode, that is, the lens and camera will automatically adjust the focus to get the best image.
Focus can also be controlled manually from the controller if required. Press Focus Near or Focus Far key to manually
focus. Focus can be manual via keyboard or matrix, please refer to control keyboard or matrix operation manual for
detailed operation. When adjusting position is set with focus status, it goes back to auto focus.
The camera will NOT auto focus in the following status.
Target is not in the center of image.
Targets are in near and far at the same time.
Target is of strong light object. Such as spotlight etc.
Target is behind the glass with water drop or dust.
Target moves too fast.
Large area target such as wall.
Target is too dark or vague.
3) IRIS control
System defaults Auto IRIS. Camera can adjust immediately according to the alteration of back ground illumination so that
a lightness steady image can be achieved.
You may adjust IRIS by controller to get required image brightness, and call back Auto IRIS by controlling the joystick.
Auto White Balance
Camera can automatically adjust white balance (WB) according to the alteration of background lightness to give a true
color image.
Back Light Compensation (BLC)
If a bright backlight presents, the subjects in the picture may appear dark or as a silhouette. Backlight compensation
enhances objects in the center of the picture. The camera uses the center of the picture to adjust the IRIS. If there is a
bright light source outside 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.
Auto Cruise
The preset position is programmed to be recalled in sequence. This feature is called auto cruise. Up to 30 presets can be
saved in each cruise tour.
Patterns
A pattern is a saved, repeating, series of pan, tilt, zoom and preset functions that can be recalled with a command from a
controller or automatically by a programmed function (alarm action or park action or power-up action).
Auto, Random and Frame Scan
Auto Scan: Make the camera scan 360º ranging from the current position.
Random Scan: Make the camera random scan 360º ranging from the current position.
Frame Scan: This feature freezes the scene on the monitor when going to a preset. This allows for smooth transition from
one preset scene to another.
Zones Setting
A zone is a pan area, defined by a left and right limit, on the 360º pan plane. The camera has eight zones, each with a
6-character label.
Alarms Input
The camera has four alarm inputs, which can be programmed as high, medium or low priority. When an alarm is received,
an input signal to the camera triggers the user-defined action (go to preset, run pattern, etc.) programmed for the alarm.
Auxiliary Output
An auxiliary output is a programmable signal from the camera back box that can trigger another device to operate. An
auxiliary output is programmable to trigger from an alarm or from a controller.
