This chapter introduces you to the Dome Configuration Utility. It explains how to
start the utility, navigate through the menus, and change settings. It also explains
where to find specific information about customizing dome settings.
The Dome Configuration Utility is started using a series of keyboard commands
(Siemens Control Unit CKA3210 and CKA4810). Depending on the controller and
network protocol in use, the commands required to start the configuration utility
differ.
If the dome is installed together with the Siemens Control Unit CKA3210 or
CKA4810, press and hold Cam, then press F1.
The Dome Configuration Utility provides a means to setting features for your
camera dome via a text overlay menu. You access this utility using a keystroke
combination on your camera controller. The utility provides settings relating to
camera functions, alarms, text display, privacy zones, direction indicators and
password protection. Some items supplement similar features that may be
available through your controller.
Refer to your controller operating instructions for information about button locations
