Disable: Select this option to disable this function.
PTZ camera: Select this option to enable PTZ operation.
To utilize this feature, please connect the Network Camera to a PTZ driver or scanner via RS485 serial interface first. Then you can configure the PTZ driver and RS485 port with the following settings.
VIVOTEK provides one type of PTZ driver: Pelco D protocol. If your PTZ scanner does not support Pelco D driver, please select Custom camera (scanner). Please refer to the documentation of your PTZ scanner to determine the Camera ID, PTZ driver, and Port settings. The Camera ID is necessary to control multiple cameras. If you click Save to enable this function, the camera control panel will be displayed on the main page. Please refer to the illustration on page 97.
