Note
There is an exceptional case with respect to camera type:
You can redirect control signals of a video encoder to another
camera with connected PTZ control unit. An independent RS-485-
port of video encoder is required per redirection.
Configure the redirection of a video encoder's control signals as follows:
1. Select the PTZ option or the respective PTZ protocol as Camera type in the
video encoder (= camera 1).
2. Connect a fixed camera (= camera 2) with a PTZ control unit.
This camera is to be controlled via the video encoder's PTZ function.
3. Select the External PTZ option as Camera type for Camera 2.
4. Select camera 1 in the External control device field.
In doing so, you select the video encoder for which you have selected PTZ as
Camera type.
The control signals will be redirected from Camera 1 to Camera 2 via the RS-485
port of the video encoder. Thus you can control Camera 2 as usual. You can still
display or record a live image of Camera 1.
5. Optional: By using the Title and Date and time options, you can display a
title or the date and time in the camera image.
Date and time information is transmitted directly by the camera, not by the SeeTec
server (optional, depends on the camera type).
The Pan / Tilt mode only applies to PTZ cameras, see chapter PTZ control
(page 143). Additionally, you can set the control Sensitivity for continuous control.
6. If a camera is mounted upside down or on a sloping surface, rotate the
camera image.
The Invert arrow keys, Control camera and Position camera options are only
relevant for PTZ (pan / tilt / zoom) cameras.
In Surveillance Mode, all PTZ cameras are controlled using the PTZ control panel.
Since this can cause discrepancies if cameras are mounted upside down, the
directions of the arrow keys can be inverted using the Invert arrow keys option.
If the Control camera and Position camera options are disabled, the user will no
longer be able to control the camera with the PTZ control panel and / or move to
preset positions in Surveillance Mode.
See chapter PTZ control (page 143).
