Setting Baud Rate And Address - Q-See QSZ515D User Manual

SETTING BAUD RATE AND ADDRESS

Unlike conventional security cameras, PTZ cameras require an address
and a connection speed to be set in order for them to properly operate.
The default settings for this camera are an address of "1" and a baud
rate of 2400. If you are only using a single PTZ camera you generally
do not have to make any changes and you may proceed to the next
section. Please consult your DVR's manual for required settings.
If you need to change your camera's settings, both of are made using a
DIP (dual in-line package) switch panel located within the camera itself. In
general, it is easier to do this before connecting the camera, but in some
cases, you may need to change settings while the camera is connected to
the DVR. In this case, please make a temporary connection by following the
procedures laid out in the next section, Connecting the Camera.
Please be advised that adjusting these settings after the camera is mounted
can be difficult due to the panel potentially being inaccessible because of
location, position, etc.
To access the panel, one must unscrew the upper housing from the base.
The circuit board on which the DIP switches are mounted is visible below
the camera in the picture above, right and a close up of the circuit board
showing the DIP switch panel in the photo on the center right.
DIP switches are binary - meaning that they are either On ("1") or Off ("0").
Different combinations of ones and zeroes on the board produce different
settings. On the QSZ515D, there are a total of 10 DIP switches. The first
eight are for setting the address of the camera while positions 9 and 10
control the baud rate - which is the speed in bits per second at which the
DVR communicates with the camera for control.
The illustration at the lower right shows the default settings for your camera
which are an address of "1" and a baud rate of 2400bps. This baud rate
will allow you to effectively control the camera up to 3,000 feet away. Areas
with electronic interference may require heavier or shielded cabling. The
higher the setting (may be required by some DVRs), the shorter the control
distance. The chart on the next page shows the switch positions needed to
set the camera's address and baud rate.
