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 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.
 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
