Controlling the Camera
The most common ways to control the MIC are:
– Using a keyboard and on-screen display (OSD) menus. This method is the most common.
See Basic Keyboard Operation, page 38.
– Using the Configuration Tool for Imaging Devices (CTFID) software running on a PC with
Bilinx or the RS-232/RS-485 communication protocol. Go to www.boschsecurity.com to
download the latest version of the software and the CTFID User Manual.
– Using a PC-based graphical user interface (GUI).
