VIDEO QUALITY CAUTION  
FRAME RATE NOTICE REGARDING USER-SELECTED OPTIONS  
Pelco systems are capable of providing high quality video for both live viewing and playback. However, the  
systems can be used in lower quality modes, which can degrade picture quality, to allow for a slower rate  
of data transfer and to reduce the amount of video data stored. The picture quality can be degraded by  
either lowering the resolution, reducing the picture rate, or both. A picture degraded by having a reduced  
resolution may result in an image that is less clear or even indiscernible. A picture degraded by reducing  
the picture rate has fewer frames per second, which can result in images that appear to jump or move  
more quickly than normal during playback. Lower frame rates may result in a key event not being recorded  
by the system.  
Judgment as to the suitability of the products for users’ purposes is solely the users’ responsibility. Users  
shall determine the suitability of the products for their own intended application, picture rate and picture  
quality. In the event users intend to use the video for evidentiary purposes in a judicial proceeding or  
otherwise, users should consult with their attorney regarding any particular requirements for such use.

Welcome  
The Spectra® Mini IP dome system is accessible using a standard Web browser (Microsoft® Internet  
Explorer® or Mozilla® Firefox®). The IP dome system can also be used with an Endura® system as an  
Endura Enableddevice or a third-party system with Pelco’s API interface. If you are using one of these  
systems refer to the following information:  
NOTES:  
Only use a cable modem router or a switch with a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)  
server when installing the Spectra Mini IP dome system on a network. Refer to the installation  
manual shipped with the IP dome system for instructions.  
Do not use a hub in the network setup of the dome system.  
To secure access to the Spectra Mini IP dome system, place the dome behind a firewall when it is  
connected to a network.  
For optimum image quality and bandwidth efficiency, use the dome system as an Endura Enabled  
device or with an approved Pelco API interface.  
If the dome system is part of an Endura system, the graphical user interface will automatically  
discover the device and display it as a camera within the system manager. Refer to the  
documentation for the Endura System Manager.  
For a list of compatible API interfaces go to xdn.pelco.com and register as a new user by following  
the on-screen instructions.  
Network and processor bandwidth limitations may cause the video stream to pause or appear  
pixilated when an increased number of Web-interface users connect to the camera. Decrease the  
images per second (ips) of the Web-interface video streams to compensate for network/processor  
limitations.  
For detailed instructions on configuring the dome system using WS5000 advanced system software, refer  
to the Endura WS5000 Advanced System Software manual.  
Getting Started  
You will need to install your Spectra Mini IP dome system before using this manual (refer to the  
installation manual supplied with the IP dome system). Once installed, apply power to the system. The  
system will complete a configuration sequence.
