Device: PTZ

PTZ Settings
This is where you can configure the DVR to be able to operate
PTZ devices. PTZ stands for Pan, Tilt & Zoom.
The DVR is compatible with many - but not all - PTZ devices
available. For the best results, we suggest using a Swann PTZ
camera, as we know what they're compatible with and we'll
be able to offer support for both devices at once (should you
need it).
Camera No: The camera you'd like to associate a PTZ device
with.
Baudrate: Check the PTZ device's documentation to learn
this value. Most Swann PTZ units operate at 2400 or 9600bps.
Data Bit, Stop Bit & Parity: Options that subtly change the
way the DVR talks to the device. This is important to get right
- check your PTZ device's documentation to learn the correct
settings.
PTZ Protocol: A protocol is like a language that the DVR uses
to talk to the PTZ device. Ensure that this setting matches the
requirement of your device.
Address (0 - 255): The command address of the PTZ device
you want to associate with this channel.

Important:
Don't use Motion Detection on
channels with PTZ cameras
attached. The DVR can't tell the
difference between something
moving in front of the camera
and the camera itself moving!
Accessing the PTZ Controls
The PTZ controls can be accessed from the Live Viewing
screen by choosing the PTZ icon on the menu bar.
Note for Remote Access and Mobile Device users:
The PTZ functions of the DVR and compatible cameras can
be controlled remotely via the SwannView Link software and
mobile app.
Please note: due to the latency (a fancy word for "delay")
caused by streaming so much data over an Internet
connection, there will be a momentary pause between
selecting a direction for the camera to move and it actually
moving.
Typically the delay will be less than one second; however
periods of up to thirty seconds are not uncommon on mobile,
wireless or slow Internet connections.
