Camera Menus.

Configuration of the camera takes place using the internal menu. There are two versions:

• A quick menu that contains only the most commonly used settings, and

• A comprehensive main menu where all settings are accessible.

The two menus are accessed in slightly different ways.

The quick menu

To access the quick menu you need to issue a preset 198 command to the camera. When using SSUtility,
click the Goto button, enter 198 in the popup dialog and click OK.

Note: The Quick menu does not require a password to gain access to key camera settings (and also
provides a backdoor entrance to the main Setup menu. Therefore you are recommended to disable the quick
menu (Hide quick menu option) once all configuration settings have been made. Default password:

AAAAAA.

The menu contains only the most common settings that may need to be changed during installation or
service:

Default values shown.

• >Communications accesses the settings for the camera ID, the protocol and the communications

parameters such as baud rate and parity. See the section ‘Communications’ within the Main menu
chapter for details about each option.

• Orientation – sets the installation orientation for the camera. Cameras may be mounted in a hanging,

upright or upright tilted position. Setting the correct orientation will allow the camera to set the horizon
level. This setting requires a re-boot of the camera to take effect.

• Disable OSD – disables display of optional OSD telemetry messages such as the camera text, the

compass data and the date and time. Individual items can be controlled from the Telemetry menu
accessed through the full setup menu. This option does not hide messages that are shown in response to
user actions.

• Hide quick menu – disables the access to this menu from preset 198. If this menu is enabled then it is

possible for a user to access the full setup menu without recourse to the password. If this menu is hidden
it can be re-enabled from the Miscellaneous menu via the full setup menu.

• Setup menu – provides access to the full setup menu where all of the camera options can be controlled.

No password is required. See the section ‘Setup’ within the Main menu chapter for details about each
option.

• Reboot camera – reboots the camera. This is required by some configuration changes and is also useful

if you suspect there may be a camera error as the Power-On Self Test (POST) is run.
