Refer to the "Panoramic PTZ Installation Guide" in your product CD for design considerations before you proceed with physical installation.

The camera is intended to be installed with an SD series speed dome camera in a "Panoramic PTZ" configuration. Users should take the following into account:

1.There is a dominant - subordinate relationship between the fisheye camera and the speed dome. All configurations are done on a PC running the Calibration tool and a web console with the fisheye camera. The computation required for exerting the Panoramic PTZ control takes place on the fisheye camera.

2.In a panoramic PTZ configuration, the fisheye camera provides an overview over the 360° hemispheric field of view; while the speed dome provides tracking, zooming, and keeping an object in a view of an adequate size. The configuration is operated via the VAST or Milestone software with easy clicks and drags.
