administrator only; no deletion of the administrator is allowed, and the administrator is authorized to set the
operation permissions for normal users.
SDK Interface
Transparent Channel
The decoder adopts the RS232/RS485 serial interface to realize transparent transmission. The data sent
remotely to the decoder via network can be transmitted by RS232/RS485 interface of decoder without any
handling, and the transparent channel of the decoder supports multi-cast transparent transmission as well, and
multiple transparent channels can be established simultaneously.
PTZ Control
Through SDK transparent channel, the PTZ of DVR or DVS can be remotely controlled.
Voice Talk
The decoder is capable of realizing voice talk with the remote client. When the client has submitted application,
the voice talk between the client and decoder is created.
