SECTION 1: OVERVIEW
1.1 Features
Limit Stops: The dome can be programmed to move within the limit stops (left/right, up/down).
•
Scan Modes: The dome provides five scan modes: auto scan, tilt scan, frame scan, random scan and panorama scan.
•
Preset Freezing: This feature freezes the scene on the monitor when the dome is moving to a preset. This allows for smooth
•
transition from one preset scene to another. It also guarantees that masked area will not be revealed when the dome is moving
to a preset.
Presets: A preset is a predefined image position. When the preset is called, the dome will automatically move to the defined
•
position. The presets can be added, modified, deleted and called.
Label Display: The on-screen label of the preset title, azimuth/elevation, zoom, time and dome name can be displayed on
•
the monitor. The displays of time and speed dome name can be programmed.
Auto Flips: In manual tracking mode, when a target object goes directly beneath the dome, the video will automatically flips
•
180 degrees in horizontal direction to maintain continuity of tracking. This function can also be realized by auto mirror image
depending on different camera models.
Privacy Mask: This function allows you to block or mask certain area of a scene, for preventing the personal privacy from
•
recording or live viewing. A masked area will move with pan and tilt functions and automatically adjust in size as the lens
zooms telephoto and wide.
3D Positioning: In the client software, use the left key of mouse to click on the desired position in the video image and drag a
•
rectangle area in the lower right direction, then the dome system will move the position to the center and allow the rectangle
area to zoom in. Use the left key of mouse to drag a rectangle area in the upper left direction to move the position to the center
and allow the rectangle area to zoom out.
Proportional Pan/Tilt: Proportional pan/tilt automatically reduces or increases the pan and tilt speeds according to the
•
amount of zoom. At telephoto zoom settings, the pan and tilt speeds will be slower than at wide zoom settings. This keeps the
image from moving too fast on the live view image when there is a large amount of zoom.
Auto Focus: The auto focus enables the camera to focus automatically to maintain clear video images.
•
Day/Night Auto Switch: The speed domes deliver color images during the day. And as light diminishes at night, the speed
•
domes switch to night mode and deliver black and white images with high quality.
Slow Shutter: In slow shutter mode, the shutter speed will automatically slow down in low illumination conditions to
•
maintain clear video images by extending the exposure time. The feature can be enabled or disabled.
Backlight Compensation (BLC): If you focus on an object against strong backlight, the object will be too dark to be seen
•
clearly. The BLC (Backlight Compensation) function can compensate light to the object in the front to make it clear, but this
causes the over-exposure of the background where the light is strong.
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR): The wide dynamic range (WDR) function helps the camera provide clear images even
•
under back light circumstances. When there are both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously in the field of view, WDR
balances the brightness level of the whole image and provide clear images with details. This feature varies depending on
speed dome models.
White Balance (WB): White balance can remove the unrealistic color casts. White balance is the white rendition function of
•
the camera to adjust the color temperature according to the environment automatically.
Patrol: A patrol is a memorized series of pre-defined preset function. The scanning speed between two presets and the dwell
•
time at the preset are programmable.
Pattern: A pattern is a memorized series of pan, tilt, zoom, and preset functions. By default the focus and iris are in auto
•
status during the pattern is being memorized.
