1 Features and Functions
1.1 General Introduction
This series speed dome product is an integrated high intelligent speed dome. It adopts water
drop configuration design for the first time and has small and delicate shape. This is a digital and
intelligent product of vivid video. The installation is convenient.

These series product external ports adopt the PTZ to realize the quick installation. There is
waterproof interface for the pipe thread. All of these make the installation easier. It supports
various languages and protocol auto recognition. It supports 360°continuously pan, 92°tilt and
180°auto flip. It can realize no blind spot monitor.

This series product can be widely used in remote monitor environment such as electric power,
customs, water conservancy, banking sector and etc.

1.2 Features
This series speed dome has the following features:
1.2.1 On-Screen Menu
This series product menu supports multiple languages.
It is easy for you to view dome information and configure dome, camera parameters.

1.2.2 On-screen Tips

Here you can view:
 Preset number/title and system version (Software and hardware)
 Dome position. (Optional. You can disable this function)

1.2.3 Support multiple protocols

This series speed dome supports universally used protocols such as DH-SD1, PELCO-P and
PELCO-D. You can use various devices (such as matrix, control keyboard and DVR) and
protocols to operate speed dome.

1.2.4 Proportional Pan and Tilt

This function keeps the image from moving too fast when there is a large amount of zoom.
Speed dome continually decreases or increases pan and tilt speeds in proportion to depth of
zoom. When zooms speed is increasing, the camera moving speed becomes slow. When zooms
speed is decreasing, the camera moving speed becomes fast.

1.2.5 Preset Setup

Preset function is to save the address information (such as PTZ pan/tilt, focus and etc) to the
memory so that you can quickly adjust the dome and PTZ to the correct position. This series
speed dome max supports 255 presets.

1.2.6 Auto Scan

3
Camera scans back and forth regularly in a horizontal field. Here you need to set left and right
limit and scan speed. You can set 5 scanning paths.

1.2.7 Auto Pattern

Memorize dome operation such as pan, tilt, and zoom to repeat. Focus and iris are in auto mode
during auto pattern. For each pattern, the time should be less than 60 seconds. You can set 5
pattern paths.

1.2.8 Auto Touring

Add addresses into a routine in a desired order and then set time and stop duration for each
address. The dome will begin an auto touring between these addresses. You can set 8 touring
paths.

1.2.9 Auto Flip

As long as you continue to hold the keyboard joystick in the down position, the dome rotates 180
degrees and repositions itself for uninterrupted viewing of any subjects that passes directly
beneath the dome.

1.2.10 Self-diagnosis
There is a self diagnosis procedure when dome boots up.
 Tilt and vertical engine check
 Camera diagnostics
 Display dome information and diagnosis information such as address, protocol, baud
rate, type.

1.2.11 Day/Night Mode (B/W & Color Mode)

System supports auto/manual switch in low illumination.
In the auto mode, the camera can automatically switch the CCD level according to the light
change. In the manual mode, it can use the menu or the button to realize the color display, black
and white display,

1.2.12 Auto Focus

Auto focus allows the lens to remain in focus during zoom-in, zoom-out and motion functions to
get vivid image. You can use FAR or NEAR button to adjust focus manually.

1.2.13 Backlight Compensation

Balance the brightest and darkest sections of a scene to make a more vivid picture.

1.2.14 Pan Tilt and Zoom

Supports zoom in and zoom out during tilt and pan movement.
In this period focus and iris are both in auto mode to get vivid image.

1.2.15 3D Intelligent Location

Working with DVR, just click part of the current scene will be displayed in the central window and
automatically zooms. All of these allow you to trace precisely.
4
1.2.16 Idle Motion
When there is no available order, you can use menu to set dome idle status after specified
duration. The idle status includes turn to specified preset or go to scan, tour or pattern function.

1.2.17 Image Flip

You can enable image flip in the menu.
The flip function meets more applicable requirements.

6 Appendix Ⅰ Thunder Proof and Surge Protection
This series speed dome adopts TVS lighting protection technology. It can effectively prevent
damages from various pulse signals below 1500W, such as sudden lighting and surge. While
maintaining your local electrical safety code, you still need to take necessary precaution
measures when installing the speed dome in the outdoor environment.

 The distance between the signal transmission cable and high-voltage device (or high-voltage
cable) shall be at least 50 meters.
 Outdoor cable layout shall go under the penthouse if possible.
 For vast land, please use sealing steel tube under the land to implement cable layout and
connects one point to the earth. Open floor cable layout is forbidden.
 In area of strong thunderstorm hit or near high sensitive voltage (such as near high-voltage
transformer substation), you need to install additional high-power thunder protection device
or lightning rod.
 The thunder protection and earth of the outdoor device and cable shall be considered in the
building whole thunder protection and conform to your local national or industry standard.
 System shall adopt equal-potential wiring. The earth device shall meet anti-jamming and at
the same time conforms to your local electrical safety code. The earth device shall not short
circuit to N (neutral) line of high voltage power grid or mixed with other wires. When connect
the system to the earth alone, the earth resistance shall not be more than 4Ω and earth
cable cross-sectional area shall below 25 mm2. See Figure 6-1.

Figure 6-1

7 Appendix Ⅱ About RS485 Bus
7.1 RS485 Bus Main Feature
RS485 is semi duplex communication cable of impedance 120Ω . Its max load amount is 32
effective loads (including main control device and devices to be charged).

7.2 RS485 Bus Transmission Distance

When we take 0.56mm (24AWG) twisted-pair as communication cable, the max transmission
distance (theoretically) are listed below (according to different baud rates).
Baud Rate Max Distance
2400 BPS 1800M
4800 BPS 1200M
9600 BPS 800M

In the following situations, the max transmission distance shall become shorter accordingly:
 The communication cable is a little bit thin;
 The surrounding environment has strong electromagnetic interference;
 There are too much devices connected to the RS485 bus;
And vice versa, the max transmission distance shall become longer.

7.3 Connection Methods and Terminal Resistance

1) RS485 bus requires all devices use the following connection methods. Both terminals shall
have 120Ω resistance. See Figure 7-1.

Figure 7-1

Or you can refer to for the simplified way as in Figure 7-2. But the distance between ―D‖ shall not
exceed 7M.

Figure 7-2
2) Please refer to chapter 2.1 for 120Ω resistance information on the main board.

28
7.4 The Problem in Practical Use
There are 120Ω device terminal resistance in power socket. There are two connection ways.
The first one is shown as in Figure 7-3. It is the factory default connection method. Now the
jumper caps (connection board) are connected to the second and third socket, the 120Ω has not
connected.

J6

Default jumper setup （120Ω resistance has not connected）

Figure 7-3
If you want to connect to the 120Ω resistance, you can remove the jumper caps from the second
and the third socket and then insert them to the first and second socket respectively. See Figure
7-4. Now you has connected to the 120Ω resistance.

1 2 3

J6

Jumper setup（Connect to 120Ω resistance）

Figure 7-4

7.5 The Problem in Practical Use

In practical usage, we usually adopt star type connection. The terminal resistance shall connect
to the furthest two devices (Such as device 1# and device 15# in Figure 7-5 ). But this connection
way does not conform to RS485 Bus standard. When the distances between devices are too
long, the signal reflection occurs and anti-jamming decreases, thus the signal reliability becomes
very low. You can see speed dome is not under control or speed dome is running automatically
and can not stop.

Figure 7-5

29
 In this situation, we recommend RS485 distributor. This device can turn star type connection into
the connection that conforms to RS485 bus industry standard, which can avoid the above
mentioned problems and enhance communication reliability. See Figure 7-6.
