12 Instructions for
exceptional operation
Before starting any operation, make sure
the power supply is disconnected.
Make sure that the unit and other
components of the installation are closed
so that it is impossible to come into contact
with live parts.
ULISSE NETCAM is a Pan & Tilt specifically developed
to host the network cameras.
It is a completely IP solution based on ONVIF. ULISSE
NETCAM can install any type of ONVIF profile S
camera and can connect to any type of VMS capable
of communicating with the ONVIF profile S devices.
Videotec technical support can provide
a list of tested ONVIF cameras and tested
ONVIF VMS. Some cameras can have limited
functions when used with ULISSE NETCAM
and some VMS may not support all the
functions of ULISSE NETCAM.
The ULISSE NETCAM CPU can manage traffic from the
camera to the VMS, from the VMS to the camera and
from the VMS to Pan & Tilt.

For special projects, non-ONVIF cameras may
be required. In this case, you need a particular
configuration of ULISSE NETCAM to enable the VMS
to connect directly to the camera using a specific
driver. ULISSE NETCAM control is possible using
a normal RS-485 telemetry line, generally using
PELCO-D protocol. The CPU is disabled and ULISSE
NETCAM connects its network interfaces, leave the IP
unchanged.

12.1 How to switch from ONVIF
communication mode to RS-485
(telemetry) mode
The P&T is by default set to communicate via ONVIF
protocol.
The procedure described below explains how to
change the ULISSE NETCAM mode from ONVIF to
RS-485.
Before proceeding, check which firmware
version is running on your ULISSE
NETCAM by opening the ULISSE NETCAM
web interface and analysing the Device
Parameters page.
This procedure is applied to the ULISSE NETCAM units
that work with the firmware from version 6.0.0 or
higher.
For previous firmware versions, you need to update
the firmware before going any further with the
procedure.
Ask Videotec Technical Support how to
obtain the new firmware packages, the
Release Notes and the Upgrade Procedures.
