Focusing the Camera
Focus refers to the process of adjusting the clarity of a scene or an object, as
seen through a camera. To adjust the focus on the object or scene displayed
on the monitor, press a focus button. You can either focus near (if the object
is closer than the current focus setting) or far (if the object is farther away
than the current focus setting). You will see the scene on the monitor become
either sharper and clearer or fuzzier and less clear. Like the zoom buttons, the
focus buttons react based on the length of time it is pressed; the longer you
press the button down, the more noticeable will be the response.
Controlling the Iris
Normally, the brightness and darkness of the picture are controlled by the
camera's auto gain function and the auto/manual iris function. However, there
may be times when you would prefer to see the picture on the monitor be
even darker or lighter. There are buttons on the keypad that enable you to
control the camera's iris, which is the device that regulates the brightness or
darkness of the picture.
To make the picture brighter, press the Iris Open button. To make the
picture darker, press the Iris Close button.
To return the iris to its default setting, press both iris buttons simultaneously.
“Flipping” the SpeedDome
You can flip a SpeedDome 180° in the opposite direction. The SpeedDome
flip is especially useful when you are tracking a subject who walks directly
under the SpeedDome and then continues walking on the other side of the
SpeedDome.
