CHAPTER 7: MENUS AND SETTINGS
7.5. SYSTEM MENU
7.5.1. General
Set or adjust base DVR settings such as the time, date, and language.
Channel: choose the channel with a PTZ-enabled camera.
Protocol: select 
Pelco-D or Pelco-P depending on the camera 
protocol. Both the DVR and camera should be set to the same 
setting.
Baudrate: indicate the frequency of communication to the PTZ 
camera. We recommend leaving the default setting.
DataBit: select the amount of data to send during each transmission. 
8 bits is standard for all modern data transmissions.
StopBit: select the amount of extra data to send each time a direction 
is sent to the camera. The stopbit serves as a buffer between 
commands.
Parity: detects corrupt commands sent to and from the PTZ camera. 
This should generally be left Disabled.
Cruise:
 Enable or Disable the PTZ cruise function, which allows the 
camera to automatically scan the area periodically with no manual 
input.
Address: enter an ID number for the PTZ camera, greater than 0. If 
using multiple PTZ cameras, ID numbers cannot be the same.
