IMPORTANT: for both SF8174V and SF8174:
Refer to the "Panoramic PTZ Installation Guide" in your product CD for design considerations
before you proceed with physical installation.
The camera is intended to be installed with an SD series speed dome camera in a "Panoramic
PTZ" configuration. Users should take the following into account:
1. There is a dominant - subordinate relationship between the fisheye camera and the speed
dome. All configurations are done on a PC running the Calibration tool and a web console
with the fisheye camera. The computation required for exerting the Panoramic PTZ control
takes place on the fisheye camera.

2. In a panoramic PTZ configuration, the fisheye camera provides an overview over the 360°
hemispheric field of view; while the speed dome provides tracking, zooming, and keeping an
object in a view of an adequate size. The configuration is operated via the VAST or Milestone
software with easy clicks and drags.
