Oculus camera menus
Apart from the basic hardware communication settings covered in the Installation section, all configuration of the camera takes
place using the internal menu. There are two versions:
A quick menu that contains only the most commonly used settings, and
A comprehensive main menu where all settings are accessible.
The two menus are accessed in slightly different ways.
The quick menu
To access the quick menu you need to issue a preset 198 command to the camera. When using SSUtility, click the Goto
button, enter 198 in the popup dialog and click OK.
Note: The Quick menu does not require a password to gain access to key camera settings (and also provides a backdoor
entrance to the main Setup menu. Therefore you are recommended to disable the quick menu (Hide quick menu option) once
all configuration settings have been made.
The menu contains only the most common settings that may need to be changed during installation or service:
Default values shown.
>Communications accesses the settings for the camera ID, the protocol and the communications parameters such as baud
rate and parity. See the section ‘Communications’ within the Main menu chapter for details about each option.
Orientation – sets the installation orientation for the camera. Cameras may be mounted in a hanging, upright or upright tilted
position. Setting the correct orientation will allow the camera to set the horizon level. This setting requires a re-boot of the
camera to take effect.
Disable OSD – disables display of optional OSD telemetry messages such as the camera text, the compass data and the date
and time. Individual items can be controlled from the Telemetry menu accessed through the full setup menu. This option does
not hide messages that are shown in response to user actions.
Hide quick menu – disables the access to this menu from preset 198. If this menu is enabled then it is possible for a user to
access the full setup menu without recourse to the password. If this menu is hidden it can be re-enabled from the
Miscellaneous menu via the full setup menu.
Setup menu – provides access to the full setup menu where all of the camera options can be controlled. No password is
required. See the section ‘Setup’ within the Main menu chapter for details about each option.
Reboot camera – reboots the camera. This is required by some configuration changes and is also useful if you suspect there
may be a camera error as the Power-On Self Test (POST) is run.
