Change the System Setting — RS485 Setting
(for the IP Box Camera only)
You may configure the
RS-485
settings or communication specifications (baud rate, data bit, stop bit,
and parity bit) for your camera. The RS-485 is a serial communication method for computers and
devices. For your camera, the RS-485 is used to control a PAN/TILT device, such as an external
camera enclosure, to perform the PAN and TILT movement. Click on the
RS485 Setting
button on the
left side of the “System” page to enter the “RS485 Setting” page.
NOTE: Checkmark “Support PAN-TILT” and a RS-485 control panel will appear on the left
side of the Live View page.
Description of function keys:
Support PAN-TILT:
When enabling Support PAN-TILT, a control panel will be displayed on
the Live Video page allowing control for an external camera enclosure
through the RS-485.
Protocol:
Select one protocol type from the pull-down menu.
ID:
Choose an ID between
1
and
255
. This ID is the identifier for each
RS-485 device.
Baud Rate:
Choose
between
2400
and
115200
bps. This is a speed measurement
for communication between a transmitter and receiver, indicating the
number of bit transfers per second. A higher baud rate will reduce the
distance of the two devices (transmitter and receiver).
Data Bits:
Either
7
or
8
. It is a measurement of the actual data bits in a
transmission. By default, the value is
8
.
Parity Bit:
Choose
from
No
,
Even
, and
Odd
. This is a simple form of error checking
used in serial communication and you may use no parity. For even and
