Changing Camera Configurations 

Cameras shipped from RVision are set to RS232, 9600 bps, ID1, unless a different 

configuration is requested at time of purchase. Most RVision cameras can be reconfigured 

after purchase using the pSEE™ application. These common configuration steps are 

illustrated below. 

 

Changing the Baud Rate 

 

To change the baud rate, go to the Manual Commands tab and select the baud rate from the 

List pull down menu. Click ‘Send’ to set the baud rate. 

 

 

 

Figure 11: Changing Baud Rate 

 

Once the baud rate is set, exit pSEE™ and reset power to the camera. 

 

The new baud rate can be verified by restarting pSEE™. The new baud rate should be 

displayed when the camera is auto-detected using the ‘Discover’ button.
