Remember: After making changes to the settings press/click the APPLY button.

This is where you congure the DVR to act as the controller for a PTZ capable camera system.

PTZ devices are connected via the RS485 connection on the rear of the DVR. You’ll need the

manufacturers documentation for your PTZ system on hand to correctly set it up. The DVR is

not compatible with all PTZ systems - in these cases, you’ll need a stand-alone PTZ controller.

PROTOCOL: The most important setting to congure correctly. A ‘protocol’ determines how

the DVR communicates with the PTZ system, somewhat like a ‘language’. You should set this to

match the specications given for your PTZ system. The DVR supports the Pelco-P and Pelco-D

protocols.

BAUD RATE: The speed at which the DVR will send information to the PTZ system. This must

be set to a compatible level with your PTZ system.

DATA BIT & STOP BIT: The amount of data sent in an individual ‘packet’ (data bits), and the

number of bits indicating the end of one packet and the beginning of another (stop bits).

Again, this should be matched to the requirements of your PTZ system.

PARITY: An error checking method. This should be set in accordance with your PTZ system’s

requirements.

CRUISE: Refers to a mode of operation which can be used for PTZ systems called “Cruise

Mode”. When using Cruise Mode, the PTZ system can be set up to move constantly, pausing

for a user-dened amount of time at preset points. Turning CRUISE o here will mean that the

PTZ system can only be moved by the manual controls, and the Start Cruise option on the

context menu will simply not function.

ADDRESS: The command address of the PTZ system. Typically, PTZ systems allow the user

to dene their own command address, usually by the use of a series of dip-switches located

somewhere on the PTZ system. Each PTZ device needs a unique address to function correctly.
