On-screen Menu
The text overlay menu system used for setting dome features. The utility is accessed using a
keystroke combination. The utility provides settings for camera functions, zoom, alarm, text display,
and password protection.
Flip
Allows the dome to automatically turn 180 degrees when the camera tilts to its lower limit and stays
in that position for a brief delay. When the dome flips (rotates), the camera starts moving upward
as long as the tilt control is kept in the down position. Once the control is released, the tilt control
returns to its normal operational mode. The flip feature is useful when you need to track someone
who walks directly beneath the dome and continues on the other side.
Home Position
The default position to which the dome camera returns after an assigned period of inactivity passes.
The default position may be a Preset, Tour, Pattern, or No Action.
Input Alarm
A connection point on the dome camera that enables the system to monitor Input Devices. There
are 4 inputs available for the dome camera.
Input Device
External devices that provide information about the condition of system components that connect
to the input on the dome camera. Typical input devices include door contacts, motion detectors
and smoke detectors.
IR Mode
A feature of the camera that permits manual or automatic switching between color and IR
(black-and-white) operation. When IR mode is active, clearer images may be obtained under
low-light conditions.
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 name. The display of each type of name setting can be
enabled or disabled. When the display of camera or area title (name) is enabled, the information
appears on the screen continuously. Preset, Tour and Pattern titles (names) appear only while they
are active.
Normal Input State
Describes the expected state of a device connected to dome camera’s input. The normal state may
be open or closed. When a device is not in its normal input state, an alarm is issued.
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.
