The Ptz (Pan, Tilt, Zoom) Setup Menu - Swann DVR4-2000 Operating Instructions Manual

The PTZ (Pan, Tilt, Zoom) Setup Menu

This is the PTZ SETUP menu. This is where you
configure 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 DVR4-2000 is not compatible with
all PTZ systems - in these cases, you'll need a
stand-alone PTZ controller.
PROTOCOL: The most important setting to configure correctly. A 'protocol'
determines how the DVR communicates with the PTZ system, somewhat like a
'language'. You should set this to match the specifications given for your PTZ
system. The DVR4-2000 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-defined amount of time at preset points. Turning
CRUISE off here will mean that the PTZ system can only be moved by the manual
controls.
ADDRESS: The command address of the PTZ system. Typically, PTZ systems allow
the user to define their own command address, usually by the use of a series of
dip-switches located somewhere on the PTZ system.
