CHAPTER 1 Using the Dome Configuration Utility The SpeedDome Ultra VII Day/Night 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.
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. The following table summarizes the controller commands for SensorNet, RS-422, and Manchester protocols. For combination keystrokes, press and hold each button in sequence, then release. If you want to … Use … Move the highlight bar. Pan/Tilt Select the highlighted item on the screen.
To enter the password using SensorNet, RS-422, or Manchester protocols: 1. Use the Pan/Tilt control to move the highlight the appropriate character. 2. Press Focus to enter the highlighted character. If you need to change a character that has been entered: • Zoom In moves the cursor to the right in the Password field. • Zoom Out moves the cursor to the left in the Password field. As each character in the password is selected, asterisks (*) appear in the Password field.
Exiting the Configuration Utility Under SensorNet, RS-422, and Manchester protocols, you may save your changes and exit the utility from any screen by pressing and holding Iris Close, then pressing Focus. From the Dome Configuration Menu, you have two choices for exiting the utility: Exit and Save Changes or Quit Without Saving. Use the Pan/Tilt control to move the highlight bar up and down on the screen.

In This Chapter • • • • • • • Overview of Pan / Tilt / Zoom/Synchronization Options Screen ................................ 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: PROPORTIONAL FLIP 1ST ZOOM STOP X MAX TOTAL ZOOM X LINE LOCK FREEZE FRAME I/F RETURN TO AUTO OFF/ON 35/23 46...230 ON/OFF OFF/ON OFF/ON/ IRIS/FOCUS Use this screen to enable or disable the “automatic flip” feature, configure the zoom stop settings, and set the line lock options.
Adjusting the Zoom Stop Settings The SpeedDome Ultra VII Day/Night dome includes a 23X optical zoom camera with 10X digital zoom capability. The maximum possible zoom is 230X. 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.
Configuring the Freeze Frame Setting If you need to maintain a static image when calling automatic functions, such as presets or patterns, use the Freeze Frame setting. This prevents the display of the dome movement and lens adjustments from being displayed on-screen while the preset or pattern is being sought. When the Freeze Frame setting is enabled, the scene currently displayed on the monitor will be preserved (frozen) on-screen until the pattern or preset is ready for display.
Changing the Freeze Frame Setting 1. Select Pan/Tilt/Zoom/Sync Opts from the Dome Configuration Menu. 2. Move the highlight bar to Freeze Frame. Change the setting. • Select On to enable Freeze Frame. This freezes the current scene when presets or patterns are selected. • Select Off to disable Freeze Frame. This displays the dome motion and lens adjustments when presets or patterns are selected. The default setting is Off. 3. Select Exit. The Dome Configuration Menu appears.

CHAPTER 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 ......................................................................................3–1 Adjusting White Balance Settings .............................................
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.
Changing Automatic White Balance Settings 1. Select Camera Functions from the Dome Configuration Menu. 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. Do one of the following: • To change the red setting, move the highlight bar to W Bal Adj: Red, and then continue with step 4.
For more information, see the following topics: • Changing the IR Mode Setting • Manually Activating or Deactivating the IR Mode Changing the IR Mode Setting 1. Select Camera Functions from the Dome Configuration Menu. 2. Move the highlight to the IR Mode field. Change the setting. • Select OFF to disable the IR mode. The camera will operate in color mode only. • Select ON to enable full-time B/W mode. • Select Auto High to enable automatic B/W mode at approximately 30 lux.
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.
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. Figure 3–4: Example scene with loading dock door open and WDR enabled. Note: When WDR is enabled, you may notice a slight flicker to the video image. This is a normal characteristic of WDR operation.
Working with AGC and Open Shutter Settings The SpeedDome Ultra VII Day/Night dome provides settings for compensating for low-light scenes in color: Automatic Gain Control and Open Shutter. Automatic Gain Control (AGC) amplifies the video signal in scenes with minimal light. Many low-light scenes result in picture noise. As gain is increased, the picture noise is also amplified. When AGC is enabled, the camera automatically adjusts the gain setting value.
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. The dome must now transmit information about the green light. This update occurs as soon as the green light information is available.
Configuring AGC and Open Shutter Settings Tip: The current IR mode setting affects which AGC Gain and Open Shutter settings are available. The Relationship between IR Mode and AGC and Open Shutter Settings chart on page 3–8 describes which settings are available. 1. Select Camera Functions from the Dome Configuration Menu. 2. Move the highlight to AGC/Shutter mode field. The highlight appears in the first field (AGC/ Mode). 3. Select one of the following: • Select AGC On to set AGC to automatic mode.

CHAPTER 4 Configuring Alarms, Areas, Home, Privacy Settings, Presets and Scan Limits This chapter describes settings associated with Alarms, Areas, the Home Position, Privacy Zones, Presets and Scan Limits. 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.
Overview of Alarms, Areas, Home, North Position, Preset, Privacy and Scan Limit 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 SCAN LIMITS 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
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.
Setting 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.
Configuring Normal Input States for Alarms IMPORTANT Some controllers allow the normal input states for domes to be specified at the controller. These controllers include VM96, AD matrices with AD2083-02A code units or AD168 matrix with the AD168CCM or AD2083-02A code unit. Do not use both the dome configuration utility and the controller to assign the normal input states. Use only the dome configuration utility or the controller to assign the normal input states.
Setting Alarm Input States 1. Select Alarms/Areas/Home/Presets/PZ from the Dome Configuration Menu. 2. Select Set Alarm States. 3. Select the appropriate input line, and then change the setting. • Select Open if the alarm normal input state is open. • Select Closed if the alarm normal input state is closed. The default setting is Open. Note: In most cases, the normal input state for a dome's input should match the contact type of the connected switch. 4. Repeat step 3 for each input requiring change.
Setting the Home Position 1. Select Alarms/Areas/Home/Presets/PZ from the Dome Configuration Menu. 2. Select Set Home Position. The highlight bar appears on the Home Position setting. 3. Select a setting. • Select Preset to use a preset as the home position. Continue with step 4. • Select Pattern to use a pattern as the home position. Continue with step 4. • Select No Action if you do not want to set a home position. Continue with step 5. The default setting is No Action. 4.
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, Error! Reference source not found. 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.
Note: You will receive an error message under the following conditions: • If you attempt to program an area boundary that passes the starting point of the first area • If you move the camera left after establishing the first boundary Return to step 2 and start again. 7. When the last area boundary is set, save the changes. A message appears confirming that the areas have been successfully saved. Press Focus to continue. 8. When the Alarms/Areas/Home/Presets/PZ screen appears, select Exit.
From this screen, you can program up to eight Privacy Zones, delete all or specific Privacy Zones, or temporarily hide all Privacy Zones.
The circled arrows represent the target area on the screen for creating the Privacy Zone. Normally, this target area remains in the center of the screen. Using the Pan/Tilt control moves the target area by panning or tilting the dome. If the dome reaches its maximum tilt position, the Privacy Zone may still be established in the upper part of the display. When this occurs, the arrows move relative to the movement of the Pan/Tilt control until the top of the display area is reached.
Removing or Hiding Privacy Zones If you make 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.
Deleting Specific Privacy Zones To delete individual Privacy Zones, use the following procedure. To delete all Privacy Zones, see Deleting All Privacy Zones on page 4–15. 1. Select Alarms/Areas/Home/Presets/PZ from the Dome Configuration Menu. 2. Select Privacy Zones. The Program Privacy Zones screen displays. 3. Select Delete Specific Zones. 4. Position the arrows in the Privacy Zone that you want to delete. Press Zoom to delete. If you do not want to delete the zone, press Focus. 5.
Programming Presets If you need to view specific places routinely, you should program presets. A preset is a programmed video scene with automatic pan, tilt, zoom, focus and iris settings. Once programmed, entering the number and pressing a button on your controller automatically calls up the preset. In addition, presets may be assigned to alarm actions or as the “home” position for the dome. As many as 96 presets— whose positions are saved in the dome’s firmware—may be programmed.
PRESETS PRESET X Position camera with PAN TILT, ZOOM and IRIS FOCUS FAR to save and exit EXIT 4. Adjust the camera until you see the scene you want to use as the preset. Adjust the zoom and iris settings as necessary. When satisfied with the scene, save the preset. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each preset you want to program. When finished, select Exit. 6. When the Alarms/Areas/Home/Presets/PZ screen appears, select Exit. The Dome Configuration Menu appears. Continue with What To Do Next on page 4–20.
Figure 4–6: Left and Right Scan Limits Left Scan Limit Building Parking Lot Dome Right Scan Limit Scan Types Three types of scans may be activated: smooth scan, stepped scan, and random scan. A smooth scan slowly pans between the left and right scan limits, starting at the left scan limit. When the right scan limit is reached, the scan reverses. Figure 4–6 illustrates the smooth scan. A stepped scan pans slowly, pausing briefly every 10° between the left and right scan limits.
A random scan pans randomly between the left and right scan limits. For example, the scan may start at point in the scan, then pan right 40° and pause, pan right 10° and pause, pan left 20° and pause, and pan right until it reaches the right scan limit. Figure 4–8 illustrates a random scan. In this figure, the dashed line represents the scan area, and the solid line represents the scan pattern. The circle on the scan represents the start point. Each arrowhead represents a pause.

SPEEDDOME ULTRA VII 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 VII.
Flip To automatically rotate the dome 180° from its current pointing position. See Automatic “Flip” feature. Freeze Frame A feature that allows the current image to be maintained on-screen when switching to a preset or pattern. This function prevents the display of the dome movement and lens adjustments while the preset or pattern position is sought. Once the preset or pattern is ready for display, the image switches smoothly to the new scene. See Preset and Pattern.
Peel Button found on some controllers that initiates the Apple Peel pattern. See Apple Peel Pattern. 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.
Zoom To adjust the magnification of the camera lens to make an object appear closer (larger) or farther away (smaller). See also Zoom stop factors. Zoom stop factors Defines how the zoom function is partitioned. The first zoom stop setting may be 23X or 35X. The default first zoom stop setting is 35X. The maximum zoom stop setting may be 46, 69, 92, 115, 138, 161, 184, 207 and 230X. The default maximum zoom stop setting is 92X.
