depending on different camera models. 
  Privacy Mask 
This function allows you to block or mask certain area of a scene,  for preventing the 
personal  privacy from recording or  live viewing. A masked area will  move  with pan 
and tilt  functions  and automatically adjust  in size as the lens zooms telephoto  and 
wide. 
  3D Positioning 
In the client software, use the left key of mouse to click on the desired position in the 
video image and  drag a  rectangle area in the  lower  right direction,  then  the dome 
system 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 amount  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  to  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 domes 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. The feature can be enabled or disabled. 
  Backlight Compensation (BLC) 
If you  focus on an object against strong backlight, the object will  be  too  dark to be 
seen clearly. The BLC (Backlight Compensation) function can compensate light to the 
object  in  the  front  to  make  it  clear,  but  this  causes  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 whole 
image and provide clear images with details. 
Note: 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  to  adjust  the  color temperature  according  to  the 
environment automatically.
