IV. Description of Functions

1. OSD Menu Operation

The functions of the pan/tilt and the built-in camera module can be conveniently configured and carried out through the OSD menu. These functions include: Preset Positions, Tours, Pattern Scan, Left & Right Scan, Alarm, Language Choosing, and the configuration of the parameters of the Camera Module etc.

2. Trace the Target

The users can control the movement of the unit by operating the joystick of the keyboard so that they can trace the moving object or change the monitoring area. The angle of view or the size of the image of the object can be changed through adjusting the focal length. In the default Auto-focus, Auto-Iris state, following the movement of the unit, the lens will quickly adjust itself to get clear image according to the change of the object.

3. Automatic Adjustment of Focal Length/Movement Speed

When the focus is long and in the mode of manual adjustment, due to the high sensitivity of the speed dome, even the slightest movement of the joystick would make the image move quickly, which causes image losses. Based on human design, the speed dome can automatically adjust the horizontal and vertical moving speed of the pan/tilt according to the current focal-length, which makes the manual target-tracing operation much easier.

4. Automatic Flip

In the process of operating the joystick to trace and monitor, if the user move the lens to the bottom(vertical) then continues pressing the joystick,

- 9 -

the lens will automatically flip 180º horizontally, then the user can still control it to move upwards till 90°, which enables the user to directly observe the situation on the back side, thus tilt 180° consecutive monitoring can be realized.

5. Configure and Invoke Preset Positions

The preset position function works in this way: the speed dome stores the data of the pan/tilt angles and lens focal-length in current state; when needed, invoke these data, then promptly move the pan/tilt and camera module to the corresponding position. Through the OSD menu, the user can quickly and conveniently configure, invoke, delete the preset positions and compile the title of the preset positions. When the user invokes the preset position through the OSD menu, the unit will move to the preset position promptly, at the same time, the title of the preset positon compiled by the user will be shown. The unit supports 128 preset positions.

6. Automatic Tours

The automatic tour function is a built-in function of the speed dome camera. Through beforehand programming, the user can arrange the preset positions into the automatic tour in the desired order. When it’s needed to run the tour, operating through the OSD menu, the user can make the speed dome camera automatically move as per the order of the preset positions configured in the tour with preset time intervals.

● The staying time at each preset position can be configured.

● Altogether 4 tours can be configured with the unit.

● Sixteen preset positions can be stored in one tour.

7. Left & right Scan

Left/right limiting positions can be conveniently configured through OSD

- 10 -

menu. After configuring well, the user can run the left/right scan directly through the OSD menu, then the speed dome will automatically run horizontally between the left limiting position and the right limiting position, at the preset speed.

8. Pattern Scan

The unit can store the user’s operating track and invoke it when necessary. A 4-minutes operation is acceptable to be stored for one Pattern Scan track. Altogether 4 Pattern Scan tracks can be stored in this unit.

9. Alarm Function

The user can set the key areas as alarm points. Through the linkage with the external-connected detector, once there is alarm signal transmitted to the unit, the unit will promptly adjust the camera module to shoot the alarm point, at the same time, it will output alarm signal through the alarm output port. Considering that the channels that can be contained with wire alarm is so less, users can also choose our latest-developed wireless alarm, wireless alarm can support 16 channels in, 16 chanels out.

10. Idle Time Function

Users can configure the function that is to be carried out in idle time as the Idle Time Function. If the user exit the OSD menu after finishing with other operations, and if the speed dome is in still state without running, then after a period of time during which nobody operates the unit, the unit will automatically begin to carry out Idle Time Function that is configured in advance. The functions that can be configured as Idle Time Function include invoking preset position, running left&right scan, running tour etc. The length of the period of time after which the Idle Time Function is to

- 11 -

be carried out can be configured, the range is 1~240minutes.

11. Camera module Lens Control

Users can adjust the Focal-length through controlling the keyboard to get panoramic view or close view that they desire.

Focal Length Control

Users can adjust the Focal-length through controlling the keyboard to get panoramic view or close view that they desire.

Focus Control

The system takes automatic focus as the default. While moving, the camera module can automatically focus on the center of the object view to get clear image. Under special circumstances, the user can manually adjust the focus to achieve desired image effect.

● Manual focus can be realized through controlling the keyboard or matrix. For details, please refer to the operation manual of the controlling keyboard or matrix.

● In the state of manual focus, the user can control focal–length to make the lens focus on objects. If the speed dome camera is configured to resume auto-focus upon joystick operation, when there is operating on the joystick, the speed dome camera will automatically focus. If a period of time is configured for auto-focus resuming, once there is no controlling order received, after the period of time, the speed dome camera will resume auto-focus.

Under the following circumstances, the camera module can not carry out auto-focus:

● When the object is not in the center of the view.

● When simultaneously observe a far object and a near one, clarity for

both of the images can not be guaranteed at the same time.

● When observing objects with extreme brightness, such as neon lights,

- 12 -

spotlight, etc

● When the object is behind the glass with water drops or dust

● When the object moves very fast

● When the object is large-sized and drab, such as wall

● When the object is too dark or fuzzy

Iris Control

● The system takes automatic-iris as the default. The iris can automatically sense the change of the environmental light and make quick adjustment, so that the brightness of the image is stable.

● The user can manually adjust the iris through controlling the keyboard to obtain desired brightness for the image.

Automatic Back Light Compensation (BLC)

Automatic Back Light Compensation can be realized via district dividing. In extremely bright background, the camera module can compensate the brightness of the relatively dark objects, while adjust the light of the bright background, avoiding that the whole image is too bright to watch due to the too high brightness of the background while the object is too dark to be distinguished, so that clear image can be got.

Automatic White Balance

According to the ambient brightness, the camera module can automatically adjust the White Balance to re-display the real colors.
