Product Overview

The SpeedDome LT camera dome (Figure Chapter 1-1)
is part of a programmable network of camouflaged cam-
eras. These devices enable security personnel, from a
remote console, to track programmed targets (presets),
near or far, even in low light. Small and unobtrusive, the
dome can be used in facilities such as retail stores,
casinos, manufacturing facilities, hotels, and hospitals,
especially where appearance is important.

Main Components

The dome consists of the following assemblies:
Carriage assembly. This assembly mounts directly
into the housing. The carriage assembly contains the
dome's power supply and pan motor; the power
supply provides regulated dc power to the eyeball
assembly. The Unicard PC board is the interface
between the dome and the console and receives all
video, ac, and data. This board also provides the
dome address and transient protection and is the
central controller for all dome functions, controlling
360° pan movement and storing targets and patterns.
An LED indicator on the Unicard enables the
installer to verify when power and data are available.
Eyeball assembly. This assembly fits into the
carriage assembly and contains the dome's tilt motor
and electronics used to operate the eyeball, storing
automatic camera patterns and directing camera
video to the composite cable via the Unicard. The
rotating eyeball, gloss black and 190cm (7.5") in
diameter, houses the 1/4" CCD camera assembly. A
clear, acrylic "contact lens" mounts flush with the
contour of the eyeball to prevent detection of the
camera's viewing position.

Camera Options

The dome, as shipped, contains one of four different
CCD cameras.
Color NTSC (60Hz)
Color PAL (50Hz)
Monochrome EIA (60Hz)
Monochrome CCIR (50Hz)
These cameras have 12X optical zoom with continuous
auto focus and backlight compensation. The color
camera is fully digital, has no field adjustments, and has
better light sensitivity and picture resolution (430 TV
lines) due to Digital Signal Processing (DSP).
