System Configuration
PTZ Cameras, for default settings of the supported PTZ cameras.
Custom command
VPort 2140 Video Server provides 5 custom commands in addition to the general pan, tilt, zoom,
and preset functions. Administrators can click on Custom Command to configure, and refer to
the manual enclosed with the attached PTZ camera to set up frequently-used functions. The
Command should be entered in ASCII format. The VPort will translate the commands into binary
code and send them out through the serial port. For instance, a text string of 8101ABCDEF will
be translated into five bytes of hexadecimal 81, 01, AB, CD, and EF. The maximum length of a
command string is 60, which is equivalent to 30 hexadecimal bytes. The Display string is for the
text on the command buttons and should be less than 8 characters. If Custom Camera is selected,
there will be more commands for PTZF that relate to custom camera.
