VIVOTEK provides several PTZ drivers: DynaDome/SmartDOME, Lilin PIH-7x00, Pelco D, Pelco P, and
Samsung Scc643 protocol. If none of the above PTZ drivers is supported by your PTZ scanner, please
select Custom camera (scanner). Please refer to the user’s manual of your PTZ scanner to determine
the Camera ID, PTZ driver, and Port settings. The Camera ID is necessary to control multiple cameras.

Transparent HTTP Tunnel: If you want to use your own RS-485 device, you can use UART commands to
build a Transparent HTTP Tunnel. The UART commands will be sent through HTTP tunnel established
between the RS-485 device and the linked camera. For detailed application notes, please refer to URL
Commands on page 103 or the FAQ pages on VIVOTEK’s website.
