About the Dome

The SpeedDome Ultra camera dome (Figure Chapter 1-
1) is part of a programmable network of camouflaged
cameras. These devices enable security personnel, from
a remote console, to track a target, 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 a housing and eyeball assembly
that "twist locks" onto a mounting base. These com-
ponents are described as follows:
• Base. Mounted directly to an indoor hard or tile
ceiling, or to one of many optional indoor or outdoor
mounting structures, the base supplies power and
data to the housing and eyeball assembly, once it is
attached.
The base has terminal blocks that receive all video,
ac, alarm, and data connections and has LED
indicators that enable the installer to verify that
power and data are available.
• Housing and eyeball assembly. The housing
contains the dome's power supply, pan motor, and
electronics used to operate the eyeball.
The rotating eyeball, gloss black and 120mm (4.75")
in diameter, contains a camera, camouflaged lens
(incorporated into one of two removable slot
covers), tilt motor, and associated electronics.

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. An electronic
zoom provides selectable magnification up to 18X or
48X.

Optional Slot Cover

Used in place of the slot cover mounted on the eyeball,
this optional slot cover has a 0.5f darker lens to enhance
eyeball camouflage. Order part number 0351-1163-01.
