Display: 1024×768 resolution or higher
Web Browser: Internet Explorer 7.0 and above version, Apple Safari 5.02 and above version, Mozilla Firefox 5 and above version and Google Chrome8 and above versions.
1.2 Functions
The functions vary depending on the models of speed dome.
Limit Stops
The dome can be programmed to move within the limit stops (left/right, up/down).
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 preset title, azimuth/elevation, zoom, time and 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 dome, the video will automatically flips 180 degrees in horizontal direction to maintain continuity of tracking.
Privacy Mask
This function allows you to block or mask certain area of a scene, preventing recording or live viewing.
3D Positioning
In the client software, use the left key of mouse to click on the desired position in the
SmartWatch® IP PTZ Dome Cameras - Manual 8 video image and drag a rectangle area in the lower right direction, the 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 level 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 and 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 dome will 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.
This feature can be enabled or disabled.
Backlight Compensation (BLC)
If you focus on an object against strong backlight, the object may be too dark. The BLC
(Backlight Compensation) function can compensate light to the object in front to make it clear (this may cause 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 image to provide clear images with details.
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 that will adjust the color temperature according to the environment automatically.
Patrol
A patrol is a recording of pre-defined presets. The scanning speed between two presets and the dwell time at the preset are programmable.
Pattern
A pattern is a recording of pan, tilt, zoom, and preset functions. By default the focus and iris are in auto mode when the pattern is being recorded.
Power Off Memory
The dome supports a power off memory function. When power is restored the dome resumes its previous position.
SmartWatch® IP PTZ Dome Cameras - Manual 9
Scheduled Task
A time task is a programmed 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
This feature allows the dome to start a preprogrammed action automatically after a preprogrammed time of inactivity.
User Management
The dome allows you to program users with different levels of permissions. Multiple users can access and control the same network speed dome simultaneously.
3D Digital Noise Reduction
The 3D digital noise reduction function processes the noise between two frames. The noise is removed making the video clearer.
