5. CHANGING PROTOCOL INFORMATION
The camera's PTZ protocol information allows a DVR to communicate
with it and control the camera's movement. You will not need to change
the default protocol information on your camera unless you are using
multiple PTZ cameras or if your DVR does not support the default
settings (see your DVR's instruction manual for details).
PTZ protocol information on this camera is set using DIP switches on the
bottom of the camera. DIP switches represent binary values. This means
that they are either On (1) or Off (0).
The DIP switches control 3 values:
1. The ID of the camera, which allows the DVR to identify different PTZ
cameras.
2. The protocol, which is the language that allows the camera and DVR
to speak to each other (e.g. Pelco D).
3. The baud rate, which is the frequency of communications.
The illustration below shows the default values of the DIP switches.
Default ID: 1
Default Baud Rate: 2400
Default Protocol: Pelco-D
