Pelco C690M-E operation manual Programming, Camera Names

PROGRAMMING

Programming lets you configure camera and alarm operation, set the system date and time, and define a password (among other things). Programming activities are accomplished through the Configuration menu.

CAMERA NAMES

Figure 11. Camera Names Screen

This screen lets you give each camera a description, typically designating a viewing area such as lobby, front desk, etc. Do the following to name the cameras and designate their protocol.

1.Click the Configuration button. Click Camera Names. The Camera Names screen appears.

2.In the boxes under the Camera Name heading, enter an identifier for each of your cameras or accept the default camera number.

3.Entry is required if you are going to have Coaxitron® PTZ control. Under Coaxitron is a pull-down menu for each camera. You can select either 15 Bit (standard Coaxitron that controls only PTZ) or 32 Bit (extended Coaxitron that controls PTZ plus variable speed; used with Spectra® and Esprit® ) or accept the default of None. Set all fixed cameras to None. Do this so PTZ control buttons will be dimmed and the operator will not see a PTZ cursor on the screen for a camera that cannot be moved. If you set a controllable camera to None, it will be treated as fixed and will not be allowed to PTZ.

4.Checkmark the Disable VLD boxes on cameras for which you want to disable video loss detection (VLD). This turns off their associated flashing red X indicators on the Video Mode Live screen.

Also, checkmarking a camera excludes it from the camera tour feature.

5.Click Save to save the settings or Cancel to abandon.
