The state-of-the-art SpeedDome Ultra VII Day/Night with Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) provides 230x total zoom, 23x optical and 10x digital. Digital signal processing (DSP 6) provides enhanced clarity, color and detail regardless of lighting conditions.
EIS reduces the vibration of the image without causing loss of resolution. This feature is especially useful when the dome is installed in places that subject it to shaking or moving, such as a pole next to a highway.
Conserve hard drive space when recording digitally by freezing an image when moving to a preset. Define privacy zones to prevent users from viewing sensitive areas. Display indicators on the monitor to denote the direction in which the dome is pointing, the direction in which the dome is movingand the dome’s azimuth (degree of tilt).
Establish a default “home position” preset, sequence or pattern when the dome is not under active control. Statistics on pan, tilt and zoom usage indicate how little or how often the dome is controlled.
Process alarms internally with the dome, externally with the controller or with both the dome and the controller. Communicate with a host of systems–including those from other vendors–via the internal multiprotocol receiver.
Other features include infrared mode, password protection, dome-generated programmable on-screen text and userdefinable settings for features such as line-lock, maximum zoom, direction indicators, proportional flip, AGC and white balance.
The dome also provides two twist lock mounting base options: an I/O board base with unsurpassed ease of installation, service and maintenance, and a standard base as a value priced alternative.
For outdoor use, the SpeedDome Ultra Outdoor Housing with an optional vandal resistant kit is available. Protection from even more harsh environments is provided by the SpeedDome Ultra Pressurized Housing.

Dome-generated on-screen text including direction indicators
Up to eight privacy zones
Two mounting base options
Programmable presets, patterns and area names
DirectSet feature provides fast access to the most frequently used dome features
96 presets store camera parameters (controller dependent)
16 patterns including expanded commands and duration
16 preset sequences
Alarm inputs and outputs
Password protection
Automatic home position
Automatic proportional flip and automatic gain control (AGC), line-lock and white balance (user-selectable on/off) are provided.
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 with EIS can clearly distinguish scenes and colors in lighting conditions as low as 0.5 lux and 0.009 lux in black and white mode.
In addition to SensorNet, Manchester, AD-UTC and SEC RS-422 codes, the dome can be controlled via other select manufacturers’ protocols such as Pelco®, Panasonic® and Vicon®, 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 auto tracking white balance. 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 16 patterns. Preprogrammed default spiral pan pattern (“apple peel”) covers the entire viewing area. Each pattern can store up to 99 commands each and be 10 minutes long.
The dome supports up to 16 preset sequences. Each sequence can store up to 16 presets and have a 10 minute dwell time per sequence.
DirectSet™ feature provides fast access to the most frequently used dome features, when used with a suitably equipped controller.
The dome supports up to 96 presets when used with suitably equipped controllers. Presets now store camera parameters such as EIS and IR mode settings and AGC level.
Using the Freeze Frame feature before moving to a preset minimizes hard drive usage when video is digitally recorded.
Zoom adjusted programming (ZAP) automatically adjusts pan and tilt speeds in proportion to zoom position, even at maximum magnification.
Instant digital zoom immediately activates your digital zoom settings (once the focus reaches the end of the optical zoom range) every time you call a preset.
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 of various sizes. Users can assign names (up to 19 characters long) and boundaries to these areas.
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, sequence 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, with or without black outline.
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.
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 lines 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 m (5000 ft) on one 18 AWG shielded twisted pair (STP)
- For AD-UTC1: Maximum distance per dome is 700 m (2300 ft) on 20 AWG RG59U cable
The features of the SpeedDome Ultra VII with EIS 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.
