12. Operation
12.1 Initial Power Up Inspection
After the power is first applied to a dome it will perform a self-test procedure. This calibrates and checks
the basic functions of the dome, control is not possible during this self-test period. Once the camera has
stopped moving, it will then be ready to control. If preset positions and tours have been programmed into
a dome and the power is turned off, the dome will enter the Auto Scan mode once the power is turned on
again (after self-test period). The dome will remain in Auto Scan until an operator cancels it.
12.2 Manual Operation (Pan/Tilt Control)
To control the pan and tilt movement of the dome simply use the joystick on the keyboard; to pan the
camera left push the joystick to the left, to tilt down pull the joystick down (towards you). To move the
dome faster push the joystick further in that direction, the joystick is proportional to the speed of the dome;
a small movement will move the dome slower.
UP: Push the joystick forward, the camera tilt up
DOWN: Push the joystick down (towards you), the camera tilt down
LEFT: Push the joystick left, the camera pan left
RIGHT: Push the joystick right, the camera pan right
DIAGONAL: Push the joystick diagonally, the camera moves to that direction (direction 5 on figure 1)
