Setting Up The Recorder - Swann PRO Series Instruction Manual

Setting up the recorder

The camera can also use a special in-line control method called 'Coax-
itron' that sends the control signals down the video signal cable. This
makes the setup much easier than conventional controllable cameras,
but your recorder is likely not set up to control the camera when you first
receive it. You will need to activate the Coaxitron control signal to allow
you to control your camera.
NB:
At the moment, only the 4550, 4750 and TruSmart DVRs support the
Coaxitron protocol. The camera must have the TVI signal output select-
ed. If your recorder does not support TVI signal, then you will need to
use the joystick to control the OSD.
Example setup (your DVR may appear differently):
Enter the menu of your recorder and go to the Device menu. Select the
PTZ tab at the top.
In the PTZ menu, first select the channel that your OSD camera is con-
nected to. Next, select the PTZ Protocol dropdown and choose 'Pelco-C
(Coaxitron)'. Apply then exit the menu.
This camera has a microphone with audio connection. Check your DVR
manual to make sure that the audio recording is turned 'On' for the
channel that the camera is connected to if you wish to capture audio.
