Using the Dome Configuration Utility
The SpeedDome Ultra VII Day/Night camera dome is a 23X optical zoom camera enclosed in a
compact dome housing. It provides a black-and-white mode to enhance images obtained under low
lighting conditions. It also supports Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), which improves video
performance under simultaneous indoor and outdoor lighting conditions-such as looking through an
open door or window. In addition, the camera dome supports advanced features such as 10X digital
zoom (up to 230X total zoom), open shutter settings, privacy zones, direction indicators, and freeze
frame. The Dome Configuration Utility is used to customize the camera dome's settings.
This chapter introduces you to the Dome Configuration Utility. It explains how to start the utility,
