Video Testing
Video testing allows you to view the camera’s image during
installation making it easier to position and confi gure the
camera correctly. It can also be used to check the video signal
at the camera end of the installation when fault fi nding.
Although primarily used for camera testing, other video
sources such a distributors, quads and DVRs can be
connected to the test monitor for testing video output.
What Information Is Displayed?
As well as the camera’s image, the camera’s address (only
used for PTZ testing) and video format are also displayed. If
no video signal is received the screen will appear black and
the video will read ‘
NULL
’.
