PTZ Settings
This is where you can configure the DVR to be able to operate
PTZ devices. PTZ stands for Pan, Tilt & Zoom.
The DVR is compatible with many - but not all - PTZ devices
available. For the best results, we suggest using a Swann PTZ
camera, as we know what they’re compatible with and we’ll
be able to offer support for both devices at once (should you
need it).
Camera No: The camera you’d like to associate a PTZ device
with.
Baudrate: Check the PTZ device’s documentation to learn
this value. Most Swann PTZ units operate at 2400 or 9600bps.
Data Bit, Stop Bit & Parity: Options that subtly change the
way the DVR talks to the device. This is important to get right
- check your PTZ device’s documentation to learn the correct
settings.
PTZ Protocol: A protocol is like a language that the DVR uses
to talk to the PTZ device. Ensure that this setting matches the
requirement of your device.
Address (0 - 255): The command address of the PTZ device
you want to associate with this channel.
Device: PTZ
Important:
Don’t use Motion
Detection on
channels with PTZ
cameras attached.
The DVR can’t tell the
difference between
something moving in
front of the camera
and the camera itself
moving!
Accessing the PTZ Controls
The PTZ controls can be accessed from the Live Viewing screen
by choosing the PTZ icon on the menu bar.
Note for Remote Access and Mobile Device users:
The PTZ functions of the DVR and compatible cameras can be
controlled remotely via the MyDVR software, as well as by the
SwannView mobile viewing app.
Please note: due to the latency (a fancy word for “delay”) caused
by streaming so much data over an Internet connection, there
will be a momentary pause between selecting a direction for the
camera to move and it actually moving.
Typically the delay will be less than one second, however periods
of up to thirty seconds are not uncommon on mobile, wireless or
slow Internet connections.
