1.3.1.2. Creating/Modifying Channel Settings
Channel Settings
To setup all connected video sources, do the following:
1.
Check the All checkbox to enable all channels OR enable desired channels by checking individual channel check boxes.
2.
In the Video field, click the Browse button to display all available video sources connected to the DVR. The
input number corresponds the number of physical BNC connector in the back of the DVR.
3.
In the Audio field, click the Browse button to display all available audio inputs. If audio card is not installed
on the DVR, on-board audio can be used. Select desired audio input to be used with the corresponding video channel.
Please see Audio Recording in Search Mode section for information on playing back the audio recording.
4.
Assign Cam. ID number to any channel that has been assigned a PT/Z camera video source. Cam. IDs help to
distinguish between the different PT/Z cameras connected to the same parallel connection. Most Speed Domes have
their Cam. ID assigned by dip-switches in the back of the camera. Cam. ID must match that of the assigned Video
Source. If the Cam ID. has been entered incorrectly, the PT/Z camera will not respond to user commands.
The PTZ cameras are controlled based on the entered Cam ID. For example, if the Cam ID. for Input 1 is assigned to
Input 2 in the Hardware Setup, Input 1 will be controlled if the user attempts to control Input 2 from via PTZ Advanced
Control Panel.
Important
Fixed cameras do not have a Cam. ID.
Tip
The BNC connector number does not have
to match the Cam. ID number.
5.
Assign a descriptive Name to each channel. For example, the channel could be named based on the video source
location (e.g. Front Door).
6.
Adjust video Compression Quality. The lower the number, the higher the compression (20% - best compres-
sion, 100% - best quality).
7.
Choose the correct PTZ Camera Type for all connected PTZ video sources. Click the Browse button to see
the list of supported protocols. If the wrong protocol is selected, the camera may not respond to user commands.
8.
Check the A/P (Auto-Pan) checkbox for the installed Speed Domes. This feature allows the speed dome to
return to the programmed auto pan after the PTZ settings have been adjusted remotely.
