D-Link DCS-3511/DCS-3530 User Manual
Configuration
Mechanical PTZ
To utilize this feature, please connect the camera to a PTZ driver or scanner via
RS485 interface first. Then you can configure the PTZ driver and RS485 port with
the following setting.
Enable Mechanical PTZ Operation:
Select this option to disable this function.
Camera ID:
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.
Camera ID:
This ID is the identifier for RS-485 devices. IDs range from 1 to 255.
PTZ Driver:
The camera supports Pelco D & P protocol PTZ driver. If your PTZ scanner does not support above driver, please select Custom
camera (scanner). Please refer to the user’s manual of your PTZ scanner to determine the Camera ID, PTZ driver, and Port setting.
Baud Rate:
Baud Rate is a speed measurement for communication between a transmitter and receiver which indicates the number of bit
transfers per second. A higher baud rate will reduce the distance of the two devices (transmitter and receiver). Values range from 2400 (default)
to 19200 bps.
Data Bits:
This value is the number of data bits in a transmission. The data bit can be 7 or 8 (default).
Stop Bits:
The stop bit is used to signal the end of communication for a single packet. The more bits used for stop bits, the greater the lenience in
synchronizing the different clocks but the slower the data transmission rate. The stop bit can be set to 1 or 2. The default value is 1.
Parity Bit:
Parity is a form of error checking used in serial communication. For even and odd parities, the serial port sets the parity bit (the last
bit after the data bits) to a value to ensure that the transmission has an even or odd number of logic high bits. For example, if the data is 011,
for even parity, the parity bit is 0 to keep the number of logic-high bits even. If the parity is odd, the parity bit is 1, resulting in 3 logic-high bits.
Parity can be set to No (none), Even, and Odd.
Preset Position:
Clicking this button returns the camera to a preset position.
Custom Command:
Clicking this button allows you to define up to five custom commands for your PTZ scanner.
