Advanced Configuration
3.5.2 Serial Extensions
In addition to the set of standard commands that would be used on an ordinary CCTV camera, control
commands that allow access to more advanced features, or features that are specific to a particular
type of equipment, are available through extensions to the serial protocol. These extended
commands are quite useful when controlling features that are specific to FLIR thermal cameras.
In the Pelco D protocol, these additional functions can be accessed using the Aux On and Aux Off
extensions and are available by default. Many keyboards that support Pelco protocols have Aux On
and Aux Off buttons for selecting these functions. As an example, the following functions are typically
supported by default
3.5.3 Preset Map File
Most pan/tilt cameras support predetermined pan/tilt locations that are stored as “presets’. A
collection of presets is known as a Scan List (also referred to as a Pattern or Tour), A Scan List is used
to direct the camera to a sequence of locations that are typically viewed, or are considered important
or high-priority. Using the FSM software, multiple scan lists for a camera can be set up and scheduled
according to time of day and other factors.
However, presets can also be used to access other functions. The camera is capable of storing up to
128 Presets, but generally not that many are needed, so some presets can be reassigned to access
the other functions. For keyboards that do not have the Aux buttons, camera presets can be used to
accomplish the extended functions described above. For example, if preset 41 is not being used for
an actual preset location, it can be mapped to one of the above functions, such as
IRPolarityBlackHot. To allow mapping of the serial functions, set the “Use Preset Map File” parameter
to yes.
