Connection Area
Controls in the Connection area (Figure 3.6) enable communication between the control panel and the selected
camera.
The Connection area includes the following controls:
• IP Address — The IP address of the camera. This is the IP address of the serial-to-IP converter through which
the camera communicates.
• Port Number — This is the port number of the camera. This is the port on the serial-to-IP converter through
which the camera communicates.
• Chain Address — This is the daisy-chain address of the camera. This value is configured on the camera. Each
port on a serial-to IP converter can connect to a daisy-chain of up to 7 cameras. Each camera in the chain has a
unique chain address.
• Camera Name — This is the name of the camera, as you want it to appear within the control panel. After you
apply changes, the name appears in the camera list.
For more information about configuring connectivity settings, see "Configuring Cameras" on page 2–1.
Options Area
Controls in the Options area (Figure 3.7) enable you to turn the selected camera on and off, and to set the video
image orientation.
The Options area includes the following controls:
• Power — Tap ON to turn the camera on. Tap OFF to turn the camera off.
• Mount Mode — Rotates the camera image 180 degrees.
• Image Flip — Reverses the camera view vertically, but not horizontally. This results in a vertical mirror-image.
• IR — Controls whether the camera can receive commands from the infra-red (IR) remote control unit. Tap ON
to turn on the IR receiver. Tap OFF to turn off the IR receiver.
Tips:
• For ceiling-mounted cameras, turn Mount Mode ON, and turn Image Flip OFF.
• To simulate a horizontal mirror image, turn Image Flip ON and Mount Mode ON.
• If you change the Mount Mode and Image Flip settings, remember to configure the Joystick settings so the
direction of joystick motion corresponds with the direction of camera movement.
