control the camera's iris, which is the device that regulates the brightness or
darkness of the picture.

"Flipping" the SpeedDome
You can flip a SpeedDome 180° in the opposite direction. The SpeedDome
flip is especially useful when you are tracking a subject who walks directly
under the SpeedDome and then continues walking on the other side of the
SpeedDome.
To flip the currently selected SpeedDome, press the Flip button on the
keypad. When you flip a SpeedDome, the LCD displays the following
message:
Running the "Apple Peel" Pattern
You can instruct a SpeedDome to run the Apple Peel pattern. This is a
default pattern that all SpeedDomes can run without any user programming.
The Apple Peel pattern consists of three
revolutions of camera panning, with tilt starting at
the ceiling. Each revolution tilts down
approximately 30°. The Apple Peel pattern
provides you with a complete view of the area.
