Dome Statistics A feature that identifies the operating statistics for the dome. The information
displayed represents either runtime in seconds or number of occurrences. See
Dome Information .
Dome Status
Information Relates to zoom, focus, and iris settings. You may choose to have this
information displayed on the monitor when any of these settings change. If
display of status information is enabled, it appears in the upper left corner of the
monitor.
Flip To automatically rotate the dome 180° from its current pointing position.
See Automatic “Flip” feature.
Freeze Frame A feature that allows the current image to be maintained on-screen when
switching to a preset or pattern. This function prevents the display of the dome
movement and lens adjustments while the preset or pattern position is sought.
Once the preset or pattern is ready for display, the image switches smoothly to
the new scene. See
Preset and Pattern.
Home Position
The default position to which the dome returns after an assigned period of
inactivity passes. The default position may be a
Preset , Pattern , or No Action .
Input A connection point on the dome that enables the system to monitor Input
Devices . There are four inputs available for the dome.
Input Devices External devices that provide information about the condition of system
components connected to the inputs on the dome. Typical input devices include
door contacts, motion detectors and smoke detectors.
Line Lock Allows you to phase lock the video with the AC power line. When line lock is
enabled, it prevents vertical video rolling when switching multiple cameras to a
single monitor. If text appears slightly tinted on color monitors, disabling the
line lock may prevent this problem.
Name
Information Relates to the display the dome name, the area where the dome is pointing, the
name of the preset or pattern that is running, and alarm names. The display of
each type of name setting can be enabled or disabled. When the display of
camera or area names is enabled, the information appears on the screen
continuously. Preset, pattern, and alarm names appear only while they are active.
Normal Input
State Describes the expected state of a device connected to one of four dome inputs.
The normal state may be
open or closed . When a device is not in its normal
input state, an alarm is issued. Transmitting the dome input states to the host
controller is not supported with Manchester.
North Position User-definable setting that may correspond to magnetic north or some well-
known landmark. Used to approximate the camera dome's pointing direction
when
Direction Indicators are enabled.
