36x PTZ IR Outdoor Camera User Manual
SECTION 4: USING THE OSD MENUS
Set the following parameters as needed to improve the performance of the camera.
•
Auto-flip
. In manual tracking mode, when a target object moves directly beneath the camera, the camera automatically
rotates 180 degrees horizontally (flips) for tracking. The feature is enabled by default and cannot be changed.
•
Proportional Panning
. When this function is enabled, the pan/tilt speed changes according to the amount of zoom. If
using high zoom, the pan/tilt speed is slowed to keep the image from moving too fast on the live view display. You can set
PROPORTIONAL PAN to ON or OFF to enable/disable the function. This function is enabled automatically while setting patterns.
•
Park time and actions
. This feature allows the camera to start a predefined action (park action: scan, preset, pattern, etc.)
automatically after a period of inactivity (park time).
You can set PARK TIME from 5 to 720 seconds and set the park action (
PARK ACT
) as preset 1 to 8, pattern 1 to 4, patrol 1 to 8,
pan scan, tilt scan, random scan, frame scan, panoramic scan, day mode, night mode or none.
If a control signal is not received after the park time, no park actions is performed when either of these conditions exist:
—
In the process of performing dome actions by calling special presets
—
In the process of performing external alarm linked actions
•
Image freeze.
This feature enables the live view to switch directly from one scene defined by a preset to another, without
showing the middle areas between these two, to ensure the surveillance efficiency. It can also reduce the use of bandwidth in
a digital network system and provides privacy protection for the middle areas.
To enable this function, set IMAGE FREEZE to ON.
•
PTZ speed
. You can define the speed of the dome movements.
DOME SPEED
: The manual movement speed can be set to a level of 0 .. 10.
SCAN SPEED
: scan speed defines the scan degree per second of a panning scan, tilting scan, frame scan, random scan and
panoramic scan. Scan speed is adjustable from level 1 to level 40. The higher the level, the faster the scan speed.
PRESET SPEED
: the speed of calling a preset can be set from level 1 to 8. The higher levels will call a preset faster.
•
Limit stops
. The camera can be programmed to move within the configurable limit stops (left/right, up/down). To set these
limits:
a.
Move the cursor to LIMIT STOPS and click
IRIS+
to set it ON (enable this feature). Click
IRIS+
again to confirm.
b.
Move the cursor to
SETTING LIMIT STOPS,
then click
IRIS+
. The message
SET LEFT LIMIT
will appear.
