You may configure the RS-485 settings or communication specifications (baud rate, data bit, stop bit,
and parity bit) for your camera. The RS-485 is a serial communication method for computers and
devices. For your camera, the RS-485 is used to control a PAN/TILT device, such as an external
camera enclosure, to perform the PAN and TILT movement. Click on the RS485 Setting button on the
