When Support PAN-TILT is enabled, a control panel
will be displayed on the Live Video page allowing control
through RS-485 for an external camera enclosure.
Select one protocol type from the pull-down menu.
This ID is the identier for RS-485 devices. IDs range
from 1 to 255.
Baud Rate is a speed measurement for communication
between a transmitter and receiver which indicates the
number of bit transfers per second. A higher baud rate will
reduce the distance of the two devices (transmitter and
receiver). Values range from 2400 (default) to 19200 bps.
This value is the number of data bits in a transmission. The data bit can be 7
or 8 (default).
Parity is a form of error checking used in serial communication. For even and
odd parities, the serial port sets the parity bit (the last bit after the data bits) to
a value to ensure that the transmission has an even or odd number of logichigh bits. For example, if the data is 011, for even parity, the parity bit is 0 to
keep the number of logic-high bits even. If the parity is odd, the parity bit is 1,
resulting in 3 logic-high bits. Parity can be set to No (none), Even, and Odd.

Pin Block
Stop Bit:
The stop bit is used to signal the end of communication for a single packet.
The more bits used for stop bits, the greater the lenience in synchronizing the
different clocks but the slower the data transmission rate. The stop bit can be
set to 1 or 2. The default value is 1.

Night Mode:
Schedule Mode:
DC Power Output:
The Day/Night mode is set automatically.
Generally, the camera uses Day mode and
switches to Night mode when needed.
Day mode enables the IR Cut Filter.
Night mode disables the IR Cut Filter.
Set up the Day/Night mode using a
schedule. The camera will enter Day mode
at the starting time and return to Night mode
at the ending time.
The DC 12V Power Output port can supply
12V DC, 200mA of power to another device
(such as a spotlight or infrared lamp).
Its default setting is Off, meaning it will
not supply power. You can select On to
turn on the power supply. If you choose
Sync With ICR, the power output will be
enabled whenever the IR Cut Filter is active.
Alternatively, you can select Schedule and
manually specify when the power should be
enabled.
