Remote Control

When the third-party platform is used and the PTZ protocol does not match that, you can set the
remote control function to control the PTZ.

• Listener Port
  -Camera's local port, which cannot be a port that is already in use. Change the
  default setting only when necessary.

• Address Code
  -The camera can read the address code contained in instructions. The camera
  interprets the instruction only when the address code in the instruction is the
  address code configured here.

Patrol

• Resume Patrol
  -Set the time when patrol resumes.
