protocol  

The TruVision Mini PTZ 12X Camera can use several different protocols for 
communication. To select a protocol, you must set the protocol DIP switches to the 
correct sequence of 1s (on) and 0s (off). 

To set a dome camera protocol using the DIP switches 

1.   Locate the protocol DIP switch block (A, Figure 3 on page 9). 
2.   Using Table 3 below, find the DIP switch sequence for the desired protocol and set 

the switches accordingly.
