HOW TO ACCESS THE CAMERA’S OSD MENUS*
The camera has three separate sensors, each with its own OSD menu and settings. When
adjusting the camera’s settings, each lens/ sensor will have their own set of values and
settings and will be set separately.
In addition, the camera offers a 4th BNC output of a combined 180oview as a single camera
output. This output has an additional Panoramic OSD menu with special settings including
sticthing and motion and patrol setup.
To access each sensor’s OSD menus select one of the following options:
1. The camera has four (4) BNC outputs, each supporting UTC (Up the Coax)
communication. When the camera is connected to a DVR supporting UTC communication
like the VMAX A1TM, you can access the camera’s OSD menu directly from the DVR.
2. The camera supports RS485 communication, allowing to control the camera remotely.
3. In the camera’s external control board, there is a switch next to the
joystick controller. The switch determins which of the three (3) sensor
will be displayed in the secondary BNC output..When selected, the
selected sensor’s display will appear in the 2nd video out for 60 sec.
NOTE: Option 3 does not support access to the fourth Panoramic OSD
menu. Please use UTC or RS485 cabling to access those options.
