C H A P T E R 1 Using the Dome Configuration Utility The SpeedDome Ultra VI camera dome is a 23X optical zoom camera enclosed in a compact dome housing. It provides a black-and-white mode to enhance images obtained under low lighting conditions. It also supports Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), which improves video performance under simultaneous indoor and outdoor lighting conditions—such as looking through an open door or window.
What is the Dome Configuration Utility? The Dome Configuration Utility provides a means to setting features for your camera dome via a text overlay menu. You access this utility using a keystroke combination on your camera controller. The utility provides settings relating to camera functions, alarms, text display, privacy zones, direction indicators and password protection. Some items supplement similar features that may be available through your controller.
IMPORTANT If you have password protection enabled for the configuration utility, the Enter Password screen appears first. You must correctly enter the password before the Dome Configuration Menu will appear. For information about entering the password, refer to Entering the Dome's Password on page 1-4. Working with the Dome Configuration Utility Once the Dome Configuration Menu is displayed, you may select a menu item, and then modify the settings you want to change.
Entering the Dome's Password A dome password can be used to prevent unauthorized users from starting the configuration utility. The Enter Password screen appears when the command to start the configuration utility is entered, if password protection is enabled. ENTER PASSWORD PASSWORD: ******** ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST UVWXYZabcdefghijklmn opqrstuvwxyz 0123456 789/Blank Space Character CONTINUE CANCEL Users must enter the password before the Dome Configuration Menu displays.

C H A P T E R 2 Configuring Pan, Tilt, Zoom, and Synchronization Options This chapter describes the use of the Pan/Tilt/Zoom/Sync Opts menu. Use this screen to set the Auto Flip feature, configure the Zoom Stop settings, and set the Line Lock option. In This Chapter · · · · · Overview of Pan / Tilt / Zoom/Synchronization Options............................................. 2-2 Setting the Automatic “Flip” Feature ...........................................................................
Overview of Pan / Tilt / Zoom/Synchronization Options Screen When Pan/Tilt/Zoom/Sync Opts is selected from the Dome Configuration Menu, the following screen appears: PAN/TILT/ZOOM/SYNC OPTS PROPORTIONAL FLIP 1ST ZOOM STOP X MAX TOTAL ZOOM X LINE LOCK OFF/ON 35/23 46...184 ON/OFF RESET TO FACTORY SETTINGS EXIT Use this screen to enable or disable the “automatic flip” feature, configure the zoom stop settings, and set the line lock options.
Setting the Automatic “Flip” Feature Use the automatic (proportional) “flip” feature when you need to track someone who walks directly under the dome and continues on the other side. You start the flip by moving the tilt control to its lower limit and holding for a brief period. When the flip engages, the dome automatically rotates 180°. You may then continue to track the person as long as the tilt control stays in its lower limit. Once the tilt control is released, the dome resumes normal operation.
Adjusting the Zoom Stop Settings The SpeedDome Ultra VI includes a 23X optical zoom camera with 8X digital zoom capability. The maximum possible zoom is 184X. Zoom stop settings define how the zoom function is partitioned. Depending on the current zoom level, the camera will either stop at the first zoom stop setting or continue to the maximum zoom setting. The following example explains how zoom stop settings work.
Configuring the Line Lock Setting Use the Line Lock setting to prevent vertical rolling or adjust the appearance of overlay text on color monitors. If you experience problems with vertical video rolling when switching multiple cameras to a single monitor, enabling the Line Lock setting phase locks the video with the AC power line. All cameras connected to the same power supply will be synchronized. This synchronization prevents the video from rolling vertically when cameras are switched.

C H A P T E R 3 Configuring Camera Features This chapter describes the settings used to control the camera features. It describes how to change the white balance settings, IR mode, wide dynamic range settings, automatic gain control, and open shutter settings to improve camera performance. In This Chapter · · · · · · Overview of Camera Settings....................................................................................... 3-2 Adjusting White Balance Settings.......................................
Overview of Camera Settings When Camera Functions is selected from the Dome Configuration Menu, the following screen appears: CAMERA FUNCTIONS Auto White Bal OFF/ON W Bal Adj: Red 0-511 Blue 0-511 IR Mode OFF/ON/Auto High/Auto Mid/Auto Low WDR OFF/ON AGC/Shutter Max Gain Limit Open Shutter(NTSC)0-28 dB 1/2-1/60 s Open Shutter(PAL) 0-29 dB 2/3-1/50 s RESET TO FACTORY SETTINGS EXIT From this screen you can adjust the white balance settings, set the IR mode for the camera, enable or disable Wide Dynamic Range
Adjusting White Balance Settings White balance is normally compensated for by the automatic white balance gain control. In some lighting conditions, you may need to manually adjust the red and blue settings for optimal viewing. When Automatic White Balance is enabled, the red and blue setting values are based on feedback from the camera. When Automatic White Balance is disabled, the camera uses the red and blue setting values to control the white balance.

The highlight appears on the Auto White Bal setting. 2. Change the setting. · Select Off to manually adjust the red or blue settings. Continue with step 3. · Select On for automatic white balance. Continue with step 7. The default setting is On. 3.
Understanding How IR Mode (Black & White) Operates SpeedDome Ultra VI provides a black-and-white (B/W) mode to improve camera performance when the light level falls below certain thresholds. This allows clear images to be obtained under low-light conditions. This is referred to as IR Mode. There are five IR Mode settings: Off, On, Auto High, Auto Mid and Auto Low. The following table lists the approximate lux values when the camera is expected to switch between color and B/W modes.
Manually Activating or Deactivating the IR Mode The IR mode can be manually activated or deactivated using a combination of keyboard commands. This allows you to change between color and B/W modes as needed. · To change the mode using SensorNet or RS-422 protocols: press and hold Iris Open, press and hold Focus Far, then press Focus Near. · To change the mode using Manchester protocol: enter 68, and then press Call Preset.
Understanding Wide Dynamic Range Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) is a feature that allows clear viewing of both bright and low light areas in a scene. Use this feature if you need to view both indoor and outdoor lighting conditions simultaneously. For example, a dome is installed in the loading dock area of a building. When the door to the loading dock area is closed, the light level remains constant and the interior can be scene can be viewed clearly without iris adjustments.
If you want to view the interior scene, open the iris to make the dark scene appear brighter. However, this causes the outdoor scene to appear too bright. In Figure 3-3, it is difficult to see the car near the loading dock door. Figure 3-3: Example scene with loading dock door open and iris open adjustment. With WDR enabled, you can see the scenes both inside and outside the loading dock area. In Figure 3-4, you can see the boxes stacked inside the loading dock area and the car approaching the door.
Changing the Wide Dynamic Range Setting 1. Select Camera Functions from the Dome Configuration Menu. 2. Move the highlight to the WDR field. Change the setting. · Select OFF to disable wide dynamic range. Use this setting when the light level is constant or changes in lighting conditions are gradual. · Select ON to enable wide dynamic range. Use this setting when both bright and low light areas need to be viewed simultaneously. The default setting is OFF. 3. Select Exit.
Figure 3-5: Graphical view of Shutter Limit settings Red Light Red Light Red Light 250 msec 250 msec Green Light 180 msec In this example, the dome receives information about the color of the traffic light. While the light is red, the image is relatively static. With the shutter limit set to 1/4 second (250 milliseconds), updated red light information is transmitted at 1/4-second intervals. When the light changes from red to green, updated light color information becomes available.
In addition: · When AGC Off is the current setting, the Max Gain and Limit fields are not displayed. · When AGC On is the current setting, the Max Gain field is displayed and may be modified. The Limit field is not displayed. · When Open Shutter is the current setting, both the Max Gain and Limit fields are displayed and may be modified. Configuring AGC and Open Shutter Settings Tip: The current IR mode setting affects which AGC Gain and Open Shutter settings are available.

C H A P T E R 4 Configuring Alarms, Areas, Home, Privacy Settings and Presets This chapter describes settings associated with Alarms, Areas, the Home Position, Privacy Zones, and Presets. It explains how to set a default action to run when a dome alarm occurs, as well as how to define the normal alarm input states. It describes how to set a default position for the dome and assign a dome position that corresponds with North. It also explains how to program Areas, Privacy Zones, and Presets.
Overview of Alarms, Areas, Home, North Position, Preset and Privacy Settings When Alarms/Areas/Home/Presets/PZ is selected from the Dome Configuration Menu, the following screen appears: ALARMS/AREAS/HOME/PRESETS/PZ SET ALARM ACTIONS SET ALARM STATES SET HOME POSITION SET NORTH POSITION AREA BOUNDARIES PRIVACY ZONES PRESETS EXIT From this menu you can choose to configure alarm actions, configure normal states for alarm inputs, assign the “home position”, establish the north position for the dome, set area
Configuring Alarm Actions IMPORTANT When operating on Manchester networks, the dome can be programmed to respond to any of the four available alarm inputs. However, the dome cannot transmit alarm input states to the host controller. If transmitting the alarm state to the host controller is required, the alarm device must be wired directly to the host controller. The dome provides four alarm inputs.
Configuring Alarm Actions IMPORTANT Some controllers allow the alarm actions for domes to be specified at the controller. See the appendixes for information about which controllers support this function. Do not use both the dome configuration utility and the controller to assign the alarm actions for the same input. Use only the dome configuration utility or the controller to the assign the alarm actions. 1. Select Alarms/Areas/Home/Presets/PZ from the Dome Configuration Menu. 2. Select Set Alarm Actions.
7. Select Exit to return to the Alarm/Areas/Home/PZ screen. 8. When the Alarm/Areas/Home/PZ screen appears, select Exit. The Dome Configuration Menu appears.

Setting the North Position Direction Indicators permit you to understand the approximate pointing position of the dome to an established reference point. This reference point is called “North” and may correspond to magnetic north (if it is known) or some other landmark or fixture. When the dome is initially installed, “North” defaults to a pre-defined position (0° pan/tilt). You may program the “North” position to be any point along the dome's pan axis (also called azimuth).
Programming Area Boundaries If the dome is installed in a location where you can see numerous departments or other identifiable objects, you might want to consider programming area boundaries. Areas are programmed start- and end-points of a camera's field of view. Each area is a part of a circular viewing area that extends around the dome. For example, Figure 4-1 represents the floor plan of a break room.
Note: When areas are programmed, each area is assigned a default name. Instructions for assigning new names appear in Chapter 5. To program areas, select Area Boundaries from the Alarms/Areas/Home/Presets/PZ screen. The following screen appears: AREA BOUNDARIES PAN to start of BOUND 1-16 PAN RIGHT ONLY ZOOM to mark BOUNDARY FOCUS saves and exits If no boundary is set, pressing Focus quits without making any changes. The dome supports from 2 to 16 areas.
Setting Area Boundaries 1. Select Alarms/Areas/Home/Presets/PZ from the Dome Configuration Menu. 2. Move the highlight bar to Area Boundaries, then select. The Area Boundaries screen appears. 3. Adjust the camera to the starting point of the first area, and press Zoom to mark the boundary. 4. Adjust the dome to the right until the ending point of the area is seen. If you attempt to move left, an error message appears. See the note on page 4-12 for information. 5. Mark the end-point of the area.
Establishing Privacy Zones Privacy Zones are “masked” sections of the dome’s viewing area. These masks prevent operators of the surveillance system who do not have access to the dome password from viewing these designated zones. Each zone has four sides, and the zones may overlap to form irregular shapes. The Privacy Zones move in relation to the dome pan/tilt position. In addition, the apparent size of the Privacy Zone adjusts automatically as the zoom level is adjusted.
How Privacy Zones are Programmed Privacy Zones are established by selecting three points on the display image to mask. The fourth point on the Privacy Zone is automatically generated by mirroring the longest axis between the three selected points. Figure 4-2 illustrates how Privacy Zones are programmed. Figure 4-2: Privacy Zone programming example. Point 1 + 4 mirrors + Point the longest axis.
The boundary points on the Privacy Zone are selected by pressing Zoom. Once a boundary point is selected, the arrows “blink” until the target area is moved to a valid area. Once the target moves to a valid area, the arrows stop blinking. If you move the target more than 90degrees from a selected point, the arrows begin to blink again, indicating that the boundary is too large.
Removing or Hiding Privacy Zones If you made an error during programming or no longer require Privacy Zones, individual zones or all Privacy Zones may be deleted. To temporarily remove the Privacy Zones, you may disable their appearance by changing the Hide All Zones setting to Yes. To delete individual Privacy Zones, you must adjust the position of the arrows to the area of the screen where the zone is recognized by the firmware.
Note: Once you delete a zone, pressing Focus saves and exits from the Delete Privacy Zones screen. Deleting Specific Privacy Zones To delete individual Privacy Zones, use the following procedure.

Glossary Alarm Actions The assigned responses for the dome when inputs change from normal to abnormal states. The dome may run a Preset, Pattern, or have no assigned action for each of the four dome inputs. The dome may also send alarm states to the host controller for processing. See also Input and Normal Input State. Apple Peel Pattern The default pattern of the SpeedDome Ultra VI. This pattern consists of three complete revolutions starting at the ceiling line and tilting down 30° each revolution.
Automatic Gain Control (AGC) Allows for the amplification of the video signal in scenes with minimal ambient light. Many low-light scenes result in picture noise. As gain is increased, the picture noise is also amplified. When AGC is enabled, the value of the gain setting is based on feedback from the camera. When AGC is disabled, the camera uses the value set for the manual gain setting. The trade-off between picture level and noise may be adjusted when AGC is disabled. See also Open Shutter.
Input Devices External devices that provide information about the condition of system components that connect to the inputs on the dome. Typical input devices include door contacts, motion detectors and smoke detectors. IR Mode A feature of the camera that permits manual or automatic switching between color and IR (black-and-white) operation. When IR mode is active, clearer images may be obtained under low-light conditions. Line Lock Allows you to phase lock the video with the AC power line.
Preset Programmed video scene, based on a specific pan, tilt, zoom, and focus settings. Up to 96 presets may be programmed for the dome. For domes running in a Manchester network, only 64 presets may be programmed. See also “Virtual Views” Privacy Zones Masked areas of the camera dome's viewing area. These masks prevent operators of the surveillance system from viewing these designated zones. Each Privacy Zone has four sides, and the zones may overlap to form irregular shapes.
