Controlling a PTZ camera
You can control PTZ dome cameras using the buttons on the front panel, the
keypad, and IR remote control as well as using the PTZ control panel accessed
with the mouse. Access to PTZ commands may require a password.
A detailed list of the PTZ commands available for many different camera
protocols is available in Appendix F on page 165.
Configuring PTZ settings
Use the PTZ Settings menu to configure the PTZ dome cameras. Each camera
must be set up individually. Cameras must be configured before they can be
used.
Ensure that the PTZ dome cameras are correctly connected to the RS-485 port
on the back panel.
Note: If a camera does not work correctly after configuring the DVR, check the
parameters entered.
To configure PTZ dome camera settings:
1. Click the PTZ Settings icon in the menu toolbar.
2. Click General and select the PTZ dome camera to be configured from the
drop-down camera list.
3. Select the baud rate, data bit, stop bit, parity, flow control, PTZ protocol and
address for the camera. See Appendix G, “Default menu settings”, on page
165 for the default values.
Note: It is important to ensure that the settings correspond with those used in
the PTZ camera.
4. Click Copy to copy the settings to another camera, if required.
5. Click Apply to save the settings.
