For instance, a text string of 8101ABCDEF will be translated into five bytes of hexadecimal 81, 01, AB, CD, and EF. The maximum length of a command string is 60, which is equivalent to 30 hexadecimal bytes. The Display string is for the text on the command buttons and should be less than 8 characters. If Custom Camera is selected, there will be more commands for PTZF that relate to custom camera.
