PRESETS and other functions.
The dome has up to 128 presets that once programmed with stay in the domes non-volatile memory so they
will be retained even after a power cut.
What is a preset? A preset is a particular area or object that the dome was looking at and has been stored into
its memory so when the preset is “called-up” the dome will select the area again without the operator using
the joystick to do this. Even the zoom at the time is stored into the preset. This means that you could for
example store a PRESET of a car-park entrance. When the operator calls up this preset the camera
automatically zooms in on this area. By storing more than one preset you can add even more functionality to
the dome. By having two presets, you can then get the dome to “SCAN” between the two locations. You can
even vary the speed of this scan.
Having 3 or more presets you can get the dome to go on a TOUR (PATROL) of the presets. When you run
the patrol the dome goes to one preset, then waits a short period then on to the next preset and so on. The
dome continues to cycle around this patrol until you cancel it. The length of time the camera stays at one
location and the speed of travel between each preset point can be set in the menu.
PRESETS -How to set up a preset
Aim the dome where you want it to look, zoom in or out to get the correct scene and let the camera auto
focus. Now press the following keys on the keypad : <PRESET> + xx + <Enter> (where xx is the preset
number you wish to store). For example <PRESET> 01 <Enter> would store PRESET 01 and the camera
would always go to this location when 01 is <CALLED>.
To test if the preset is stored correctly use the joystick to move the camera to point in a new location. Now
press <CALL> 01 <Enter> (where xx is the preset you wish the camera to go to). In this example if you
press <CALL> 01 <Enter> the dome should go straight to the PRESET 01 location.
TIP -You may wish to write down a list of presets that you have stored next to the keypad for the operator.
CALLING a preset
This may be as follows;
PRESET 01 = MAIN GATE (a long zoom shot)
PRESET 02 = ENTRANCE DOOR
PRESET 03 = FIRE ESCAPE
PRESET 04 = EMERGENCY EXIT
PRESET 05 = CAR PARK (zoomed-out wide angle)
PRESET 06 = CAR PARK (zoomed-in narrow angle)
When the operator wishes to quickly zoom in on the MAIN GATE all he has to do is press <CALL>
01<Enter>. To go to the EMERGENCY EXIT he would press <CALL> 04 <Enter> and so on.
To call up any previously stored preset camera location, simply press <CALL> xx <Enter>, where xx is the
preset number.
