Configuring the Camera
The MFR can be configured for a specific user profile, to include; communication settings, motor
control, video format and camera type. Once configured the camera will retain the settings.
The camera is configured using a menu structure on its control interface which is only accessible
at power on. To access the control menu it is necessary to connect the camera to a serial comms
software application, such as TeraTerm set to 9600 baud 8n1.
• Connect the power comms cable to a USB
port on a PC.
• Open the PC serial comms application
• Power on the camera, a > character will
appear and shortly after a ! character.
• As soon as the ! appears type v e in quick
succession.
