(“WIDE”) enables the camera to zoom out.

focus the camera on a distant object, press the FAR key. To focus on a closer object, press the
NEAR key.
Controlling the Camera Iris
Normally, the brightness of a picture is controlled by the camera's auto gain and the auto/manual
iris functions. However, there may be times when you would like the picture on the monitor to
appear darker or lighter. To brighten the picture, press the iris OPEN key. To darken the picture,
press the iris CLOSE key.
Controlling Camera Flip
To “flip” the camera under keyboard control 180° from its current position (for uninterrupted
surveillance of subjects who pass directly beneath the camera, press the button on the top of the
joystick knob. The flip feature is active with the AD168 system. Note: on suitably equipped domes
with the auto-flip function turned on, the dome flips automatically when the subject passes directly
beneath the camera.
Auto Focus / Auto Iris
SpeedDome Ultra dome units are designed with Auto Focus and Auto Iris capability. When the
AD2088 keyboard is used to control SpeedDome Ultra units, focus and iris control can be
performed manually by using the NEAR and FAR keys for focus control, and the OPEN and
CLOSE keys for iris control.
After performing manual control, the user can return to auto control
mode by pressing the OPEN and CLOSE keys simultaneously.
