On Screen Display (OSD) up the coax

Apart from the simplest of all, focusing the camera and/or zooming the camera in or out, some of our high end camera range have additional useful features. For example with privacy zoning the camera maybe positioned over a cashier's till with a chip and pin machine close by. This type of camera has the ability to block out, for example, the chip and pin machine. Access to this feature is achieved via the OSD (On Screen Display) menu. Normally the engineer needs to climb a ladder to the camera and remove the camera casing in order to access an onboard joystick controller. Some of our high range cameras have the ability to access this menu whilst stood where the recording devices (DVR) are situated. The diagram to the right explains how this works.

In essence all but the focusing and zooming of these cameras can now be achieved more easily, more quickly and thus more efficiently by the engineer without the need for the engineer to be balanced precariously on a ladder. This feature, whilst not unique to this series of cameras, is normally reserved for cameras at a much higher price.
