In manual tracking mode, when a target object goes directly beneath the dome, the dome will
automatically rotate 180 degrees in horizontal direction to maintain continuity of tracking.
Privacy Mask
The privacy mask allows a user to program user-defined areas that cannot be viewed by the
operator of the dome system. A masked area will move with pan and tilt functions and
automatically adjust in size as the lens zooms telephoto and wide.
3D Intelligent Positioning
The speed dome can be controlled with the 2 buttons and scroll of mouse can be used under
PRIVATE-Code protocols with devices and client software. Click on a certain area and the device will
move to the scene with corresponding point as the center. When a rectangular area is selected by
left-clicking the mouse, device will move to its center and enlarge it. With right-clicking, the lens will
zoom in, and the scroll can easily make the lens zooming, and mouse operation automatically
incorporates zooming effect.
Proportional Pan
Proportional pan automatically reduces or increases the pan and tilt speeds in proportion to the
amount of zoom. At telephoto zoom settings, the pan and tilt speeds will be slower for a given
amount of joystick deflection than at wide zoom settings. This keeps the image from moving too fast
on the monitor when there is a large amount of zoom.
Auto Focus
The auto focus enables the camera to focus automatically to maintain clear video images.
DAY/NIGHT Auto-switch
The speed dome delivers color images during the day; as light diminishes at night, it switches to
night mode and delivers black and white images with high quality. You can also switch it to NIGHT
mode manually to increase the sensitivity in low light conditions.
Slow Shutter
Slow shutter is the function of extending the exposure time to accumulate more light when the light
condition is low. Thus, the image can be brighter.
Backlight Compensation (BLC)
If the speed dome focuses on an object against strong backlight, the object will be too dark to be
seen clearly. The BLC function can compensate light to the object in the front to make it clear, but
this causes the over-exposure of the background where the light is strong.
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)
The wide dynamic range function helps the speed dome provide clear images even under back light
circumstances. When there are both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously in the field of
view, WDR balances the brightness level of the whole image and provide clear images with details.
White Balance
White balance is the white rendition function of the speed dome to adjust the color temperature
according to the environment automatically. It can remove the unrealistic color casts in the image.
Patrol
The high speed dome provides up to 8 patrols. In each patrol, user is allowed to specify the scanning
track by a group of user-defined presets, with the scanning speed between two presets and the
dwell time at the preset separately programmable.
Pattern
A pattern is a memorized, repeating series of pan, tilt, zoom, and preset functions that can be
