Pattern Options—Fixed or Variable Speed 
A Pattern is a series of programmed pan/tilt/zoom dome movements. The SpeedDome Ultra 8 
camera dome allows you to create fixed speed or variable speed Patterns (variable speed 
Patterns are dependent on system capability). 
The camera dome provides three options when configuring the system for Patterns:
