CAMERAS
Using encoders, the Endura system will accommodate 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
Endura. Pelco D Protocol supports bidirectional communication, which allows Endura 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.
