Pelco dx8100 manual Camera

g.Do the following:

(1)In the PTZ Locking Auto-timeout drop-down box, select an appropriate timeout value. Timeout values can be set between five and 60 seconds. The default value is 10 seconds.

Because the DX8100 Series HVR is designed to operate in a networked environment, it is possible that multiple users may attempt to simultaneously control the PTZ features of a single camera. To minimize potential conflicts, only one user at a time is allowed to control the PTZ features of a camera. PTZ control is made available on a first-come, first-served basis. Once a user gains control of a camera’s PTZ features, all other users are locked out. All other users must wait until the controls for that device have been left idle for the amount of time configured for that camera, as specified in the PTZ Locking Auto-timeout drop-down box.

(2)To perform a PTZ test, click Pan-L (left), Pan-R (right), Tilt-U (up), and Tilt-D (down), to verify that the camera responds to PTZ commands.

h.Set the selected camera address as follows:

(1)In the Dip Switch Address drop-down box, select an address from the available addresses. If the selected camera’s protocol is set to NO PTZ or PELCO-C, the DIP Switch Address drop-down box is unavailable. In this case, the camera’s dip switch setting cannot be set using software.

This option is available for cameras and protocols that support software-configured addresses. Only one address can be assigned per camera. The DX8100 displays an error message if you attempt to assign the same address to different cameras.

(2)To view the camera DIP switch address setting for all attached local cameras, click View. The DIP Switch Address View dialog box opens. The assigned DIP switch setting for all attached cameras is displayed.

3.In the Picture Adjustment section, adjust picture properties by moving sliders for Brightness, Contrast, Hue, and Saturation.

As you adjust the picture properties of a camera on the local HVR, changes will be reflected immediately in the view area near the top of the screen. Changes made to cameras at a remote site will not appear in the view area until you click Apply.

4.Click Default to return all picture property settings to the normal state.

You can click the Hide/Show button to clear the view area to get a better look at your picture property changes. Refer to step 2 in Motion Detection Setup on page 118.

5.Click Apply.
