V1.4

h) Account Settings

There are two levels of password. "Admin" and
"User". The system default is for the "Admin" name
to be "Administrator" and the password to be
"sentry".
A maximum of 256 users can be added to the
system.
The Admin user name and password have full access, but regular users can be configured to have
access to some or all cameras, PTZs and audio.
* TIP: A word of warning regarding setting up users by this IR controller method - it is no fun at all.
Preferably use the remote access method where a keyboard can be used, or at least use the GUI
method with a keyboard and a mouse.

i) Audio

"Mic Gain" is used to increase or decrease the
volume coming from the microphone. Make sure to
select the appropriate source (channel 1, 2, 3 or 4).
The "Speaker Gain" can be thought of as the volume
going out to the speakers.
"Mic Timeout" and "Speaker Timeout" work the same
as the PTZ control. Each user has access to the component for the number of seconds defined by
the timeout. After the 1

j) Serial Ports

There are two setup screens – for COM1 and COM2.
These screens are identical and allow 2 different
devices to be attached and defined. COM1 is normally
used for PTZ cameras.
Change the settings of the COM ports to match the
attached device.
Most PTZ devices run at 9600, and in most cases, Flow Control should be disabled. Only one port
can be used for PTZ control (eg COM1) and only one port can be used for an external dial-up
modem, alarm I/O box or data capture box (eg COM 2). Both ports are RS-232 on a LE/LE-HC
Series DVR. Any PTZ cameras that require an RS-485 connection will require an additional
converter, usually called a PT-NET.
