Operation - Live View Toolbar - PTZ Controls - UTC

UTC also known as Up The Coax or Coaxitron allows you to adjust the zoom and focus on compatible motorised varifocal lens cameras. You can also configure the menu settings too.

 

 

UTC Up The Co-ax Camera Controls On A Zip DVR

 

Camera Selection

You can select which camera you want to control from the Camera drop down list.

 

Protocol

You can choose which UTC standard is used for sending commands to the camera from the Protocol drop down list. COAX1 is the protocol used by our Zip CCTV cameras and is the most widely used. However, if you have a UTC compatible camera which doesn't appear to respond to commands try switching COAX2. This is a less common standard but maybe required for some third party cameras.
