RapidDome Gold - Outdoor

The Premier, High-Performance Color Dome

RapidDome Gold environmental domes are the premier choice for any application. RapidDome Gold’s high-resolution, low light sensitivity and extended zoom capabilities can satisfy even the most extreme, complex viewing requirements.

RapidDome Gold is extremely flexible, offering three different imager/lens options. All feature frame integration modes that allow RapidDome Gold to deliver images at far lower light levels than conventional cameras. A color/mono changeover imager automatically removes its IR cut filter in extreme low light conditions, allowing performance in light levels as low as 0.01 lux.

RapidDome Gold features continuous autofocus and either a 144X zoom (18X optical, 8X digital) or an even more powerful 176X zoom (22X optical, 8X digital). Its intelligent zoom automatically adjusts pan and tilt speeds in proportion to zoom position. The dome provides 360° continuous pan rotation and precise manual variable speed control at 0.1-100°/second. And its attractive, compact design is low profile at only 8", making it the perfect choice for applications where aesthetics are critical and discreet surveillance is a must. RapidDome Gold also provides advanced features such as Privacy Zones, that can mask sensitive areas of a scene from view, and Home Position, which automatically returns the dome to a preset or tour after a specified period of inactivity. Mimic Tours allow operations programmed at the keyboard to be memorized and recalled, allowing for unattended operation.

All RapidDome Gold environmental domes are extremely lightweight, yet can withstand the rigors of virtually any environmental condition. They also offer superior mounting flexibility. Mounting configurations including plug and play wall, soffit, pole and corner mounts, and a configuration specifically designed for NPT installations.

For indoor applications, choose RapidDome Gold indoor domes, which are available in a wide range of versatile mounting configurations.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

• Weather Resistant/IP-65 Rated:
  RapidDome Gold series domes can be installed in virtually any environment.
• Easy installation and servicing:
  RapidDome Gold’s environmental domes are extremely lightweight and offer superior mounting flexibility.
• High resolution, low-light camera:
  RapidDome Gold’s high resolution DSP cameras and low-light sensitivity (down to 0.01 lux) make it ideal for any installation.
• Continuous auto focus with manual override:
  No matter what the zoom position, RapidDome Gold’s images remain in sharp focus. When the scene requires extra fine control, RapidDome Gold allows the operator to override the auto focus settings.
• Intelligent zoom:
  RapidDome Gold automatically adjusts pan and tilt speeds in proportion to zoom position for greater control. The lens pauses at the end of its optical zoom, then enters digital zoom mode.
• High-speed pan, tilt, and zoom systems:
  RapidDome Gold features 360° continuous rotation on gold slip rings. RapidDome Gold also features high-speed precision control with electronic braking for up to 400°/second operation down to 0.1°/second.
• Home Position:
  This feature allows the dome to return to a preset or start a tour after it remains inactive for a specific, user definable period of time. This ensures that even when a dome is unattended, it can be viewing an important area.
• 180° flip ON/OFF:
  When this feature is ON, RapidDome Gold automatically turns 180° when reaching its lower tilt limit. This allows the operator to continuously track objects moving directly below the camera.
• Preset positioning and tour capabilities:
  RapidDome Gold’s presets can easily be set up and recalled by the operator when using ADEMCO Video RapidView systems. Four preset tours and four mimic tours may be programmed and recalled.
• Privacy Zones:
  28 programmable privacy zones allow the camera to block private views from the monitor.
• Sector Identification:
  The RapidDome Gold supports up to 16 user definable sectors, each with a definable title of up to 10 characters.
• Up-the-coax or RS485 twisted pair operation:
  Utilizing lift and gain circuitry, up-the-coax operation of up to 1,640 feet (1,500 meters) is possible with appropriate cable. RS485 twisted pair operation allows up to 32 RapidDome Gold domes to be daisy chained at a maximum of 5,000 feet (1,500 meters).
• Automatic sync-phase adjustment:
  Using compatible RapidView Matrix Systems, the video signal can be synchronized with other system inputs with the touch of a button.
