Result
Calls a monitor to use for camera operation.
Selects a camera to display on the current operating monitor. The NEXT key (+) and
PREV key (-) commands switch to the next numbered camera in the system.
Starts the selected sequence going forward (incrementing camera numbers).
Starts the selected sequence going backward (decrementing camera numbers).
Places the running sequence on hold, freezing the currently selected camera on the
monitor. It lets you control the camera or switch. The sequence is still “armed” on
the monitor, but inactive.
Places the running macro on hold.
Moves the currently selected pan and tilt device left or right at the speed
indicated. If you omit the speed, some devices move at their default speed and
others move at their slowest possible speed. Speed information has no effect on
fixed speed devices.
Moves the currently selected pan and tilt device up or down at the speed
indicated. If you omit the speed, some devices move at their default speed and
others move at their slowest possible speed. Speed information has no effect on
fixed speed devices.
Makes the currently selected camera zoom in (close up view) or zoom out (wide
view).
Changes the good focus range nearer or farther on the currently selected camera.
Opens (brighter image) or closes (darker image) the iris on the currently selected
camera.
Stops all image motion (stops pan, tilt, zoom, focus, and iris). Does not stop a
pattern.
On receivers that do patterns, these commands let you record your motions and
operations (for a limited time) and then have the system repeat them.
Recalls a stored preset position.
Sets a preset location with an embedded label, where the ASCII string must be
UPPERCASE characters.
The [string] is an alphanumeric label up to 20 characters long and [1-9999] is the
associated preset number.
NOTE: All transmitted characters must be ASCII.
Sets a preset location without an embedded label.
Begins a zone without a label.
Begins a zone with an embedded label. The ASCII string must be uppercase
characters.
Ends the zone program
