speed dome directly
It is to press repeat FUN key to go to interface of direct control receiver/driver and speed
dome, in fact, it is similar to interface of matrix to control receiver/driver and speed dome,
following operation is difference,
1. When in direct control speed dome, user is nothing to operation, it will display ID
on status.
2. When in direct control receiver/driver, it is nothing to matrix and matrix output, so
it will not display SITE and MON.
3. Usual RS485 port for receiver/driver, RS232 port for DVR, so administrator will
set RS485 and 232 port, just like above diagram, it displayed COM1 and COM3,
administrator can set different parameter according to practice, the port should
be same.
Besides, operation is same to control receiver/driver and speed dome by matrix.
If FUN is set to “master
Æ direct control DVR Æ direct control Speed dome”, FUN will
limit from set.
Other protocol
Administrator can set direct control receiver/driver, speed dome with Pelco D/P protocol,
or other protocol, and it also can control other device via protocol converter.
As function of different front device is not same, so it can not run all function, so user
should be familiar with its front device.
