Note
There is an exceptional case with respect to camera type:
You can redirect control signals of a video encoder to another
camera with connected PTZ control unit. An independent RS-485-
port of video encoder is required per redirection.
Configure the redirection of a video encoder's control signals as follows:
1. Select the PTZ option or the respective PTZ protocol as
Camera type
in the
video encoder (= camera 1).
2. Connect a fixed camera (= camera 2) with a PTZ control unit.
This camera is to be controlled via the video encoder's PTZ function.
3. Select the External PTZ option as
Camera type
for Camera 2.
4. Select camera 1 in the
External control device
field.
In doing so, you select the video encoder for which you have selected PTZ as
Camera type
.
The control signals will be redirected from Camera 1 to Camera 2 via the RS-485
port of the video encoder. Thus you can control Camera 2 as usual. You can still
display or record a live image of Camera 1.
5. Optional: By using the
Title
and
Date and time
options, you can display a
title or the date and time in the camera image.
Date and time information is transmitted directly by the camera, not by the SeeTec
server (optional, depends on the camera type).
The
Pan / Tilt mode
only applies to PTZ cameras, see chapter
PTZ control
(page 143). Additionally, you can set the control
Sensitivity
for continuous control.
6. If a camera is mounted upside down or on a sloping surface,
rotate
the
camera image
.
The
Invert arrow keys
,
Control camera
and
Position camera
options are only
relevant for PTZ (pan / tilt / zoom) cameras.
In
Surveillance Mode
, all PTZ cameras are controlled using the PTZ control panel.
Since this can cause discrepancies if cameras are mounted upside down, the
directions of the arrow keys can be inverted using the
Invert arrow keys
option.
If the
Control camera
and
Position camera
options are disabled, the user will no
longer be able to control the camera with the PTZ control panel and / or move to
preset positions
in Surveillance Mode.
See chapter
PTZ control
(page 143).
