Conguring the Camera

The MFR can be congured for a specic user prole, to include; communications settings, motor

control, video format and camera type. Once congured the camera will remember these settings.

The camera is congured using a menu structure on its control interface which is only accessible

at power on. To access the control menu it is necessary to connect the camera to a serial comms

software application, such as TeraTerm.

• Connect the D-Type connector on the

control cable to a Comm port on a PC.

• Open the terminal application and

congure the Comm port to 9600 baud

• Re-power the camera, a > will appear and

shortly after !

• As soon as the ! appears type ‘v’ ‘e’ in quick

succession.

• The Main Menu shown on the right will then

be displayed.

• Select the required option.

• The function of each option will now be

described in the tables that follow.

Software Control

The MFR camera supports serial communication control over RS232 and RS485. It supports PelcoD,

PelcoP & Sony Visca protocols.

The user may choose to use a software controller of their choice or use the VE Camera Controller.

This software application can be downloaded from the Visual Engineering website:

www.visualengineering.co.uk/supportdownload/9

The user should install the Software application on a PC. The image below shows what the software

application looks like.

It is necessary to connect a USB to serial comms lead to the PC. The operating system of the

computer will allocate this a COM port number.

Once this connection between the comms lead and the computer’s operating system has been

made the user can go ahead and connect the application to the COM port. In the example below

the port COM3 has been selected. Now select Connect.

Now that the software application is connected to the comms lead the functions of the software

can be used. In the example below the pan right command has been selected. This will cause the

MFR camera to pan right. Similar commands for pan left, tilt up & down and zoom functions can

also be tried out using the intuitive software user interface.
