2 Basic Operation and Configuration
Sensor > Communications > Serial Remote
In some installations, a serial device such as a keyboard, joystick, or other device is used to control
camera functions such as pan/tilt or zoom. A serial device can also be used to access functions that
are specific to thermal cameras, such as changing the polarity from white hot to black hot. Refer to
AutoPan Function, pg. 30
The Serial Remote settings are used to configure the serial communication parameters when the
camera is controlled with a serial device. For serial communications, it is necessary to set the
parameters such as the signaling standard (RS-232 or RS-422), baud rate, number of stop bits, parity
and so on. It is also necessary to select the communication protocol used (either Pelco D or Bosch)
and the camera address.
On the Serial Remote configuration page, the buttons at the top of the page allow configuration of
three SerialRemote devices: 0, 1, and 2. SerialRemote 0 is used as a switch to select either Pelco D
or Bosch serial communications protocol. The actual serial parameters (such as baud rate) are
configured for either SerialRemote 1 (for Pelco D) or SerialRemote 2 (for Bosch).
With SerialRemote 0 selected, set the Serial Remote Protocol to either Pelco D Serial Remote or
Bosch Serial Remote. Ensure the Enabled parameter is set to Yes. If necessary, click Save to save the
changes.
