About the OSD

So - you’ve got one (or more!) of Swann’s range of 1080p SDI cameras, and you
want to use some of the advanced features. Good call! It may seem a little tricky at
first, but it’s pretty easy once you’re up and running.

You can adjust almost any aspect of how the camera captures images. If you’ve got
experience in photography or video-making, then many of the camera’s functions
are things you’ll be familiar with.

If you don’t know much about cameras and optics, don’t worry - there’s nothing you
can do in the OSD which can actually damage the camera. If it does all go wrong,
you can use the Reset to Factory Default option to set everything back to the default/
automatic settings.

Using the OSD

To access the camera’s OSD feature, connect the camera’s RS485 plug either to an OSD
Controller (if supplied) or directly to the RS485 port on the back of the DVR. Refer to your
1080p SDI camera’s documentation for information on how to make the RS485 connection
between camera and OSD controller/DVR.
