Transparent HTTP Tunnel: If you want to use your own RS-485 device, you can use UART commands to
build a Transparent HTTP Tunnel. The UART commands will be sent through HTTP tunnel established
between the RS-485 device and the linked camera. For detailed application notes, please refer to URL
Commands on page 103 or the FAQ pages on VIVOTEK’s website.
