Peel | Button found on some controllers that initiates the Apple Peel pattern. |

Preset | Programmed video scene, based on a specific pan, tilt, zoom, and focus settings. Up to |
| 96 presets may be programmed for the dome. For domes running in a Manchester |
| network, only 64 presets may be programmed. See also Virtual Views. |
Privacy Zones | Masked areas of the camera dome's viewing area. These masks prevent operators of the |
| surveillance system from viewing these designated zones. Each Privacy Zone has four |
| sides, and the zones may overlap to form irregular shapes. The Privacy Zones move in |
| relation to the dome pan/tilt position. In addition, the apparent size of the Privacy Zone |
| adjusts automatically as the lens zooms in or out. Up to eight Privacy Zones may be |
| established for a camera dome. |
Quick Set Menu | A special menu that provides access to commonly used features and functions when used |
| with compatible controllers. This allows for changing or activating features without |
| starting the dome configuration menu. |
Random Scan | An automated scan that pans randomly between the left and right scan limits, starting at |
| any point between the scan limits. See Smooth Scan and Stepped Scan. |
Scan | Automated surveillance between predefined scan limits. Three types of scans are |
| available: smooth scan, stepped scan, and random scan. See Smooth Scan, Stepped Scan, |
| and Random Scan. |
Scan Limits | Two points around the dome’s pan axis, which define a surveillance area. |
Shutter Limit | Setting used to define the maximum exposure time for the Open Shutter setting. The |
| values for the setting range from 1/2 to 1/60 for NTSC, and 2/3 to 1/50 for PAL. The |
| default setting is 1/4 for NTSC and 1/3 for PAL. |
Smooth Scan | An automated scan that slowly pans between the left and right scan limits, starting at the |
| left scan limit. When the right scan limit is reached, the scan reverses. See Stepped Scan |
| and Random Scan. |
Stepped Scan | An automated scan that pans slowly pausing momentarily every 10° between the left and |
| right scan limits. Once the right scan limit is reached, the scan reverses. See Smooth Scan |
| and Random Scan. |
Virtual Views | Similar to Preset. However, virtual views store the pan, tilt, zoom, focus, and iris settings |
| within the controller, not the dome. Virtual Views cannot be used for the Home Position |
| |
White balance | Adjustments in the color hue (red and blue) gains for a camera so that true white appears |
| white in the image. It is normally compensated for by the automatic gain control. In some |
| lighting conditions, you may need to manually adjust the red and blue settings for optimal |
| viewing. When Automatic White Balance is enabled, the camera measures the image and |
| automatically adjusts the red and blue settings to balance white. When Automatic White |
| Balance is disabled, the camera uses the values set for the red and blue settings to balance |
| white. |
Wide Dynamic | A feature of the camera that allows a scene with both bright and low light areas to be |
Range | viewed simultaneously. |
