• The camera’s 23x optical zoom is combined with a 10x digital magnifier,

providing the power of a 230x total zoom.

• The SpeedDome Ultra VII Day/Night can clearly distinguish scenes and

colors in lighting conditions as low as 0.5 lux and .009 lux in black and

white mode.

• In addition to SensorNet, Manchester, and SEC RS-422 codes, the dome

can be controlled via other select manufacturer’s protocols making it a

perfect choice for installers wanting to replace older PTZs.

• Up to eight different sized privacy zones can be programmed to prevent

users from viewing sensitive areas. The zones automatically change size

proportionally.

• The dome maintains statistics on how long it has been on, duration of

pan/tilt/zoom movements, number of presets selected and other usage

information.

• Users can adjust the white balance manually or have the camera set it

automatically. White balance is normally compensated for by the

Automatic Tracing White Balance (ATW). However, in some lighting

conditions it may be necessary to manually adjust the red and blue

settings for optimal viewing.

• Users can set the Automatic Gain Control (AGC) on/off, and when it is

turned off, users can manually set the gain. AGC helps compensate for

low lighting conditions.

• Focus Preference provides continuous autofocus with manual override.

• Users can set automatic dome flip on/off. With this feature turned on,

the dome will automatically turn 180° when the camera tilts to its lower

limits and stays in that position for a brief speed-proportional delay.

Turned off, users can still manually flip the dome.

• The dome supports up to three Patterns. Preprogrammed default spiral

pan pattern (“apple peel”) covers the entire viewing area.

• The dome supports up to 96 Presets when used with suitably equipped

controllers.

• When using the Freeze Frame feature, before moving to a preset, the

dome image will freeze which minimizes hard drive usage when video is

digitally recorded.

• Zoom Adjusted Program (ZAP) automatically adjusts pan and tilt

speeds in proportion to zoom position, even at maximum

magnification.

• Alarms can be processed internally by the dome, externally by the

controller, or by both the dome and the controller. Each of the dome’s

alarm inputs can automatically call a preset or run a pattern when the

alarm is activated.

• The dome supports up to 16 areas. Users can assign names (up to 19

characters long) and boundaries to these areas; each area can be a

different size.

• “Home position” is the position that a dome returns to after it remains

inactive for a specific period of time. This ensures that even when the

dome is unattended, it will always be pointing to a key area of the

facility. The user can define that preset or pattern, and also how long

(from 1 to 60 minutes) before a dome returns to its home position.

• The dome generates on-screen text including Dome, Area, Preset,

Pattern, and Alarm names, as well as direction indicators. These

indicators show users the direction the dome is currently pointing, as

well as the direction in which it is moving. In addition, the direction

indicators display the dome’s azimuth (degree of tilt).

• On-screen text also indicates zoom, focus, and iris status. All name

information is user-definable and can be turned on or off. When on it

can be set for solid or translucent white, and with or without black

outline.

• The wide dynamic range feature allows for better viewing of scenes with

contrasting light levels.

• On-screen text supports six languages: English, French, Italian, Spanish,

German and Portuguese.

• Password protection prevents unauthorized use of the configuration

utility.

• The dome incorporates an innovative twist-lock release from the

mounting base for easy installation and servicing.

• The fully isolated power supply helps eliminate ground loops.

• Users can set line-lock on or off. Line-lock is enabled to help prevent

vertical rolling in multi-camera applications.

FEATURES

• Vertical sync phase adjustment is provided to help compensate for

different phases of power when line-lock is enabled, making it ideal for

single and multi-phase power installations.

• Sensing of 50/60 Hz line is automatic and does not require manual

adjustment.

• Surge protection is provided for video, code, alarms and power

connections.

• Daisy chain configuration of control wiring is enabled:

- For RS-422: 10 domes at a maximum distance of 1 km (3000 ft) on two

22 AWG shielded twisted pairs (STP).

- For SensorNet: 32 devices at a maximum distance of 1 km (3000 ft) on

one 22 AWG unshielded twisted pair (UTP).

- For Manchester: 3 domes at a maximum distance of 1500 meters

(5000 ft) on one 18 AWG shielded twisted pair (STP).

• The features of the SpeedDome Ultra VII can be extended to outdoor

environments via the SpeedDome Ultra Outdoor Housing. The outdoor

housing, designed especially for the SpeedDome Ultra’s small,

unobtrusive size, makes it the perfect protection for the dome. The

Housing now features a Reinforced Outdoor Housing as standard and a

heavy duty Vandal Resistant Housing Kit option.

The housing/eyeball assembly twist-locks into both mounting bases. The

I/O board base connects the housing/eyeball assembly in one step. Power,

communication, and video cables (or composite cable) are connected one

time to an I/O PC board in the mounting base, so the assembly is simply

“twist-locked” onto the base. Service and maintenance are easy and can be

accomplished – without a ladder or lift– via the Installation/Removal Tool.

The I/O board mounting base supports four alarm inputs and four alarm

outputs as well as power and communication LEDs.

The standard base connects the housing/eyeball assembly in two steps.

First, power, communication, and video cables (or composite cable) are

inserted through the base and attached to the assembly. Then the assembly

is connected to the base. The standard mounting base supports one alarm

input and one alarm output. The Installation/Removal Tool cannot be

used to install this configuration.
