OPERATOR'S GUIDE
A Dome Configuration Menu choice that provides essential information

version, serial number, and manufacture date. The information on this screen
cannot be modified. See Dome Statistics.
A feature that identifies the operating statistics for the dome. The information
displayed represents either runtime in seconds or number of occurrences. See
Dome Information.

information displayed on the monitor when any of these settings change. If
display of status information is enabled, it appears in the upper left corner of
the monitor.
To automatically rotate the dome 180° from its current pointing position.
See Automatic "Flip" feature.
A feature that allows the current image to be maintained on-screen when
switching to a preset or pattern. This function prevents the display of the
dome movement and lens adjustments while the preset or pattern position is
sought. Once the preset or pattern is ready for display, the image switches

inactivity passes. The default position may be a Preset, Pattern, or No Action.

components connected to the inputs on the dome. Typical input devices

A feature of the camera that permits manual or automatic switching between
color and IR (black-and-white) operation. When IR mode is active, clearer
images may be obtained under low-light conditions.
Allows you to phase lock the video with the AC power line. When line lock
is enabled, it prevents vertical video rolling when switching multiple cameras
to a single monitor. If text appears slightly tinted on color monitors, disabling
the line lock may prevent this problem.
Relates to the display the dome name, the area where the dome is pointing,
the name of the preset or pattern that is running, and alarm names. The
display of each type of name setting can be enabled or disabled. When the
display of camera or area names is enabled, the information appears on the
screen continuously. Preset, pattern, and alarm names appear only while they
are active.
