Changing an AVS Camera Resolution through an HDVR / AVR

Introduction 

Using a compatible HDVR/ AVR recorder, you can change the resolution of your AVS camera via the OSD (On Screen Display) of the camera. This method allows you only to change the resolution of the camera, not the output format (such as changing AVS to TVI or AHD). Note that changing the AVS camera to a resolution not supported by the recorder will cause the camera to not appear on the recorder. As such, ensure that the Recorder you are using can support the resolution you plan to set the AVS camera to.

Step 1.  Log into the HDVR local interface (Or on a web browser) and open the Main Menu. Go to Advanced Settings > Camera Configuration > PTZ. 

Step 2. From here, select the appropriate channel with the AVS camera you want to configure. Select the Type as "Local", Control Mode to "HDAVS" and Protocol to "HDAVS3.0" * If control / OSD does not function, set Protocol to "HDAVS2.0"
