Securame 0 Posted March 8, 2013 You can't. To be able to do that, the camera would need to have RS485 for controlling remotely the OSD menus (like PTZ cameras). You can only adjust the settings from the camera itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can only adjust the settings from the camera itself. in the manual for the camera and it says "the camera has a RJ45 socket for UTP,the camera uses UTP for transmitting video signals,power and transferring RS-485 control data" andrew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Securame 0 Posted March 9, 2013 The camera is the one you linked above? Because that one is an analog camera, and it does not say anything about RJ45 or RS485. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Securame 0 Posted March 11, 2013 It does have RS485, so you can indeed control the OSD menus from the DVR! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
