1.1 System Requirement
System requirement of web browser accessing is as follows:
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP SP1 and above version / Vista / Win7 /
Server 2003 / Server 2008 32bits
CPU: Intel Pentium IV 3.0 GHz or higher
RAM: 1G or higher
Display: 1024×768 resolution or higher
Web Browser: Internet Explorer 7.0 and above version, Apple Safari 5.02 and above
version, Mozilla Firefox 3.5 and above version and Google Chrome8 and above
versions.
1.2 Functions
Note: The functions vary depending on the models of speed dome.
Scan Modes
The dome provides 5 scan modes: auto scan, tilt scan, frame scan, random scan and
panorama scan.
Presets
A preset is a predefined image position. When the preset is called, the dome will
automatically move to the defined position. The presets can be added, modified,
deleted and called.
Label Display
The on-screen label of the time and dome name can be displayed on the monitor.
The displays of time and speed dome name can be programmed.
Auto Flips
When a target object goes directly beneath the speed dome, operating the speed
dome to monitor the object, the speed dome will automatically rotate 180 degrees in
horizontal direction to maintain continuity of tracking.
3D Positioning
In the client software, use the left key of mouse to click on the desired position in the
video image and drag a rectangle area in the lower right direction, then the dome
system will move the position to the center and allow the rectangle area to zoom in.
Use the left key of mouse to drag a rectangle area in the upper left direction to move
the position to the center and allow the rectangle area to zoom out.
Proportional Pan/Tilt
Proportional pan/tilt automatically reduces or increases the pan and tilt speeds
according to the amount of zoom. At telephoto zoom settings, the pan and tilt
speeds will be slower than at wide zoom settings. This keeps the image from moving
too fast on the live view image 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 domes deliver color images during the day. And as light diminishes at night,
the speed domes switch to night mode and deliver black and white images with high
quality.
Slow Shutter
In slow shutter mode, the shutter speed will automatically slow down in low
illumination conditions to maintain clear video images by extending the exposure
time. The feature can be enabled or disabled.
Backlight Compensation (BLC)
If you focus on an object against strong backlight, the object will be too dark to be
seen clearly. The BLC (Backlight Compensation) 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 (WDR) function helps the camera 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.
Note: This feature varies depending on speed dome models.
White Balance (WB)
White balance can remove the unrealistic color casts. White balance is the white
rendition function of the camera to adjust the color temperature according to the
environment automatically.
Patrol
A patrol is a memorized series of pre-defined preset function. The scanning speed
between two presets and the dwell time at the preset are programmable.
Pattern
A pattern is a memorized series of pan, tilt, zoom, and preset functions. By default
the focus and iris are in auto status during the pattern is being memorized.
Power Off Memory
The dome supports the power off memory capability. It allows the dome to resume
its previous position after power is restored.
Park Action
This feature allows the dome to start a predefined action automatically after a period
of inactivity.
User Management
The dome allows you to edit users with different levels of permission, in the admin
login status. Multiple users are allowed to access and control the same network
speed dome via network simultaneously.

Appendix
Appendix 1 SADP Software Introduction
Description of SADP
SADP (Search Active Devices Protocol) is a kind of user-friendly and installation-free
online device search tool. It searches the active online devices within your subnet
and displays the information of the devices. You can also modify the basic network
information of the devices using this software.
Search active devices online
Search online devices automatically
After launch the SADP software, it automatically searches the online devices
every 15 seconds from the subnet where your computer locates. It displays
the total number and information of the searched devices in the Online
Devices interface. Device information including the device type, IP address
and port number, etc. will be displayed.
Note: Device can be searched and displayed in the list in 15 seconds after it went
online; it will be removed from the list in 45 seconds after it went offline.
Search online devices manually
You can also click to refresh the online device list manually. The
newly searched devices will be added to the list.

2. Input the code in the Serial code field and click to restore the default
password.
2. Set the LAN parameters of the router as in the following figure, including IP
address and subnet mask settings.
3. Set the port mapping in the virtual severs of Forwarding. You need to forward
ports 80, 8000, 8200~8210 and 554 for a speed dome.
Notes:
You can change 80, 8000 and 554 ports value in the speed dome with web
browser or client software.
In the speed dome, the 8200~8210 ports change with the 8000 port with a
constant value of 200. E.g. if the 8000 port is changed to 8005, then the
8200~8210 ports should be changed to 8205~8215.
Example:
When the speed domes are connected to the same router, you can forward the
ports of a speed dome as 80, 8000, 8200~8210 and 554 with IP address
192.168.1.23, and the ports of another speed dome as 81, 8001, 8201~8211 and
555 with IP 192.168.1.24. Refer to the steps as below:
Steps:
1. As the settings mentioned above, forward the port 80, 8000, 8200~8210 and 554
for the network speed dome at 192.168.1.23
2. Forward the port 81, 8001, 8201~8211 and 555 for the network speed dome at
192.168.1.24.
3. Enable ALL or TCP protocols.
Note: The port of the network speed dome cannot conflict with other ports. For
example, some web management port of the router is 80. Change the speed dome
port if it is the same as the management port.
