Powering On

When you turn the AutoDome power on there is a ten (10) second pause before the dome
starts its homing phase. During the homing phase the camera pans left and right and tilts up
and down. It also adjusts the lens focus. The entire homing phase lasts approximately 40
seconds and ends with a splash screen.
Figure 1.1 Sample VG4 Startup Splash Screen
The splash screen displays the type of AutoDome, the camera installed, the firmware levels for
various files, and the current IP address (if the AutoDome contains the IP Communications
module). The (P) to the right of the AtuoDome series indicates that the AutoDome contains
the optional modules for maintaining internal pressure.
