position
"). This allows the domes to keep an "eye" on a key area
even if an operator has carelessly pointed it at an insignificant
position.
z
When a tilt operation exceeds the straight down position, e.g.,
when following a person that moves right beneath the domes, the
domes will automatically rotate 180 degrees. This "
auto flip
"
feature eliminates the possibility of inverted images, and ensures
that the surveillance view will always be seen in an upright
position.
2.5 Area Partition and Privacy Mask
z
With the help of the "
area partition
", users can divide the whole
surveillance area into a maximum of 16 sections, and define a
16-character description title for each section.
z
To prevent users from viewing a specific sensitive place, the
Super Domes feature a "
privacy mask
" that can screen out the
undesirable area.
2.6 Intuitive Menu Programming
z
The super domes provide text overlay menus for setting up
operation parameters. The menus are mostly self-explained and
easy to operate. To configure these parameters, users only need to
move the joystick.
z
Various functions may be programmed via on-screen menus,
including lens and pan/tilt parameters, camera A.I. controls,
on-screen title descriptions, area partition, privacy mask and other
automatic operations.
2.7 Powerful Alarm Handling
z
The domes provide 4 alarm inputs to follow external alarm
devices such as motion sensors, door contacts, etc. Upon alarm,
the domes will be automatically return to a certain preset.
z
The preset to call upon alarm, as well as the normal state
(normally open or closed) of each alarm input, can be easily
configured via on-screen menus.
z
As an added security feature, 1 alarm output is also provided to
activate such auxiliary devices as time elapse recorders or digital
video recorders.
2.8 Wide Application & Easy Installation
z
Different dome models are designed to meet the needs of an
ever-changing market of CCTV security/surveillance. They stand
out in applications from state security to residential communities,
and from luxury hotels to hostile outdoor environments.
z
With their compact structure and user-friendly design, the domes
can be installed easily and quickly at any location. This
timesaving advantage becomes especially useful when the
installation site is large and the surveillance spots are scattered.
Chapter III Dome Operation
Before attempting to power on and operate the domes, please make
sure that the domes have been properly installed and the DIP
switches have been correctly set.
3.1 System Initiation
Once powered, the domes will automatically perform an initiation
sequence to start configurations and self-check the system status.
They will pan, tilt and zoom to verify the correctness of system
parameters as well as the normal operation of the dome drive.
When the initiation is finished, the domes stop and the following
on-screen information will be displayed.
The overlay text displays the camera ID number, the selected
protocol, the baud rate, the version of the embedded software, and
indicates the success of the auto detection.
The information will remain on screen until dome operation starts.
3.2 Basic Operations
The super domes can be easily controlled via the keyboard controllers.
Listed below (see the below table) are some guidelines for basic
operations
Please note that all these operations are performed in the
OPERATE
mode, i.e., with the key switch at the
