SELECTING PTZ PROTOCOL
The DVR5100 accommodates fixed cameras that transmit NTSC/PAL signals and positioning systems that use several protocols. When selecting
a protocol for a PTZ camera, consider whether or not you require bidirectional communication between cameras and the DVR. Pelco D Protocol
supports bidirectional communication, which allows the DVR5100 and cameras to communicate with each other. This is useful if you want to log
the occurrence of alarm events about the camera in the system log, to obtain positioning information about the camera such as its elevation or
azimuth, and to review additional information like the camera’s current magnification.
