About Setting the Camera Address via FastAddress
The camera offers remote addressing via the feature "FastAddress," which allows you to set or
to change a camera address using the keyboard and on-screen menus. The FastAddress
feature allows you to install all cameras first, then to set the addresses via the control system.
This feature makes it easier to re-address cameras at a later time because you do not need to
go to the physical location of the camera to change the camera’s address.
Notice!
You do not need to set a camera address if using Bilinx communication.
FastAddress is stored in nonvolatile memory and does not change if the power is turned off
or if the default settings are restored.
FastAddress, Bosch Protocol
In Bosch protocol, there are three (3) FastAddress commands:
– ON-999-ENTER: Displays and programs all cameras without an address in the system.
Notice!
If a keyboard is set to a camera number that already has an address, that camera also
responds to this command.
– ON-998-ENTER: Displays and programs all cameras with or without an address in the
system.
– ON-997-ENTER: Displays the current address status of all cameras in the system
simultaneously.
To set an address for a camera without an address:
1. Select the camera number that you want to FastAddress. The system displays the camera
number on the keyboard and the image on the corresponding monitor.
2. Press #-ENTER (where # is the camera number without an address).
3. Press ON-999-ENTER to invoke an on-screen display of cameras on the system without an
address.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions. You receive an on-screen confirmation when the
FastAddress is complete.
