Configuring the Nextiva S5500 PTZ Series

Once the camera is installed, you need to configure the camera properties

using the On-screen Display (OSD) menu.

Activating the OSD Menu

There are multiple ways to access the OSD menu:

1. Nextiva Virtual Matrix: In this setup, external components such as

analog or digital monitors and CCTV keyboards are connected to Nextiva via

an edge device. Using Nextiva Control Center, you can configure external

CCTV or HD monitors and CCTV keyboards to control and display views from

PTZ cameras as needed. Either Nextiva Review or the CCTV keyboard can

control the PTZ cameras independently.

2. Analog Matrix Device: In this setup, the CCTV keyboard is connected

directly to a rack-mounted matrix device (hardwired). You can use the

external keyboard to control PTZ cameras and display the video on analog

monitors, but the external keyboards and analog monitors are not

integrated with the Nextiva system. Therefore, camera tours, salvos, and

other PTZ camera operation features that must be set up through Nextiva

Control Center are not available.

3. Nextiva Review: control PTZ cameras through the Nextiva Review

application.

► To display the OSD menu from Nextiva Review:

In the application tabs, click Live .

In the left pane, click Pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) camera

From the PTZ toolbar, click the camera menu .

► To activate the OSD menu using a keypad:

1. For keypad controllers that are compatible with Pelco D, press the number

keys “95” and then press and hold the “PRESET” key for two seconds to

activate the OSD menu.

Note

Different keypad controller may use different commands to activate the OSD

menu may differ with the connected keypad controller.
