Chapter 1 Overview
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 8.0 and above version, Apple Safari 5.02 and above version,
Mozilla Firefox 5 and above version and Google Chrome 18 and above versions.
1.2 Functions
The functions vary depending on the models of speed dome.
PTZ Limits
The speed dome can be programmed to move within the PTZ limits (left/right, up/down).
Scan Modes
The speed 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 speed 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 preset title, azimuth/elevation, zoom, time and speed dome name can
be displayed on the monitor. The displays of time and speed dome name can be programmed.
Auto Flips
In manual tracking mode, when a target object goes directly beneath the speed dome, the video
will automatically flips 180 degrees in horizontal direction to maintain continuity of tracking. This
function can also be realized by auto mirror image depending on different camera models.
Privacy Mask
This function allows you to block or mask certain area of a scene, for preventing the personal
privacy from recording or live viewing. A masked area will move with pan and tilt functions and
automatically adjust in size as the lens zooms telephoto and wide.
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 speed dome system will
User Manual of E Series Network Speed Dome

2
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.
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 speed dome supports the power off memory capability with the predefined resume time. It
allows the speed dome to resume its previous position after power is restored.
Scheduled Task
A time task is a preconfigured action that can be performed automatically at a specific date and
time. The programmable actions include: auto scan, random scan, patrol 1-8 ,pattern 1-4, preset
1-8,frame scan, panorama scan, tilt scan, day, night, reboot, PT adjust, Aux Output, etc.
Park Action
User Manual of E Series Network Speed Dome

3
This feature allows the speed dome to start a predefined action automatically after a period of
inactivity.
User Management
The speed 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.
3D Digital Noise Reduction
Comparing with the general 2D digital noise reduction, the 3D digital noise reduction function
processes the noise between two frames besides processing the noise in one frame. The noise
will be much less and the video will be clearer.
