Dome Status Information
Relates to zoom, focus, and iris settings. You may choose to have this 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.
Home Position
The default position to which the returns after an assigned period of inactivity passes. The
default position may be a preset, pattern, or no action.
Input
A connection point on the dome that enables the system to monitor input devices. There are
four inputs available for the dome.
Input Devices
External devices that provide information about the condition of system components that
connect to the inputs on the dome. Typical input devices include door contacts, motion
detectors and smoke detectors.
Line Lock
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.
Name Information
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.
Normal Input State
Describes the expected state of a device connected to one of four dome inputs. The normal
state may be open or closed. When a device is not in its normal input state, an alarm is
issued. This feature is not supported with Manchester.
Password Protection
Prevents unauthorized users from starting the configuration utility. The password may be
from 1 to 8 characters long.
Patterns
A series of pan, tilt, zoom and focus movements from a single programmable dome. Up to 3
patterns may be programmed for the dome.
Presets
Programmed video scenes, based on a specific pan, tilt, zoom, and focus settings. Up to 96
presets may be programmed for the dome. For domes running in a Manchester network, only
64 presets may be programmed.
"Virtual" Views
Similar to presets. However, virtual views store the pan, tilt, zoom, focus, and iris settings
within the controller, not the dome. Virtual Views cannot be used as the Home Position or
Alarm Actions.
