Establishing Scan Limits
If your controller supports the DirectSet menu function, you can program left and right scan
limits to automate your surveillance activities. Once these scan limits are programmed you can
choose to run a smooth scan, stepped scan, or random scan. When active, the scan repeats until
interrupted by a camera command, preset, pattern, or alarm.
Understanding Scan Limits
Scan Limits are two points around the pan axis that define a surveillance area. When a scan is
activated, the dome pans between the two surveillance points— the left and right scan limits.
This helps to ensure that only useful video is being monitored during the scan.
For example, a dome is mounted off the edge of a building to monitor a parking lot. Part of the
observable area in this situation is a wall. By setting left and right scan limits to exclude the
wall, only the viewable area of the parking lot is monitored when a scan is active.
Figure 55 illustrates the scan limits. The dashed circle represents the domes field of view. The
solid line curve represents the scan area. By setting left and right scan limits where the
building’s wall becomes visible, you ensure that only useful video of the parking lot is being
observed when the scan is active.
