Accessing OSD on an SPI-M5-MRTI

[TV Tony 0]

Hello,

We currently added this M5 to our field camera set. We have 2 other DefendIR ED50 cameras. Those OSDs come right up. We use Windows based generic camera controller software. Pelco-D commands. After all that I've read on this board I should be able to use preset 95 to show the OSD. This preset works fine on the ED50s. That M5 though..... It has a crosshair and camera number on the display not to mention that the PTZ speeds are much to fast and need to be adjusted. When I send the preset 95 command to the camera the display only flashes the crosshair and does nothing else. I've also tried preset 85,90 and 91. All to no avail. I need to get into the OSD. Any advice would be appreciated.

 

V/r,

Hi. On most flir it is 64. It only shows up on camera 1

 

If you have not been into OSD before then either press 6 and 4 quick after each other or 6 and 4 with 2 seconds between each.

 

Also try 100 but that was for older units

We use a generic camera controller to send commands. It seems there is no way to hit any keys in sequence. Here is a screenshot of the controller. I have tried many of the OSD commands listed on the board and none seem to work. Check this out.

Preset 64 worked!  So I have to enter into this control program as 255 1 0 7 0 64.    7 being the CALL PRESET command.   Now, The crosshair and camera number are removed and I would like to be able to send a command to the wiper without having to go into the OSD every time.  Does anyone know this preset or command? Thank you.

Hi. Direct from controller it is 86. Or 64 then programme and set a schedule for say once per hour.

this is for a flir camera but not your model worth a go.
