What is the Dome Configuration Utility?
The Dome Configuration Utility provides a means to setting features for your camera dome via a text
overlay menu. You access this utility using a keystroke combination on your camera controller. The
utility provides settings relating to camera functions, alarms, text display, privacy zones, direction
indicators and password protection. Some items supplement similar features that may be available
through your controller.
Refer to your controller
operating instructions for information about button locations mentioned in
this document.
Starting the Dome Configuration Utility
The Dome Configuration Utility is started using a series of keyboard commands. Depending on the
