Camera Behavior Settings – RoboSHOT 12 and RoboSHOT 30
Older RoboSHOT cameras use DIP switches to set camera behaviors; the RoboSHOT Elite series
cameras set all camera behaviors in the web interface.
A label on the bottom of the camera provides a quick reference for setting the switches.
Set the switches appropriately before mounting the camera.
After the camera is installed, you can read the switches from the camera's web interface.
Note
When the camera is not inverted, DIP switches are in their default positions when they are up.
(RoboSHOT 30 shown; Switch 5 is Super Wide Mode if the camera is a RoboSHOT 12.)
IR1, IR2, IR3 (Frequency Selection):
If there are multiple cameras in the room, use
switches 1 and 2
to
configure each with a different IR frequency to allow the IR Remote Commander to control them
independently. Then use the Camera Select buttons at the top of the remote to select the camera you want
to control.
n
SW1 and SW2 up: IR frequency 1
n
SW1 down, SW2 up: IR frequency 2
n
SW1 up, SW2 down: IR frequency 3
IR Out:
Leave
switch 3
UP if the IR remote will be used. If the system will be controlled from another
device, set the switch DOWN. This turns off the IR sensors in the front of the camera, so that all control is
via the RS-232 connection.
Image Flip:
If mounting the camera upside-down, set
switch 4
DOWN: IMAGE FLIP ON.
Super Wide Mode (RoboSHOT 12 only):
To use Super-wide mode, set
switch 5
DOWN. This gives
12X zoom with a 73º horizontal field of view. Normal mode provides 10X zoom with a 67.2º horizontal field
of view (HFOV).
Baud Rate:
Set
switch 6
to the baud rate of the device connected to the RS-232 port. The default is 9600
bps. The 38400 baud setting is optional if the connected control device supports it.
For RoboSHOT 30,
Switch 5
is not used.
Switches 7 and 8
are not currently used on either RoboSHOT
12 or RoboSHOT 30.
