Dlink ptz dcs-6915 control board settings and external microphone ?

[Dr Ian]

bit of a long shot, I got hold of an older ptz cam but the user guide online and in the box doesn’t explain what the micro switches on the camera do. And I’m not sure of the default positions either. Anyone know?



Also as a newbie what’s the easiest way to hook up an external outdoor microphone to this cam? Obviously it doesn’t have the usual 12v power supply available and has a strange (strange to me green connection)

Follow up on the control board switches.. in case anyone Google’s in the future!

Products: DCS-6915


Please do not turn on/off the switches from their default position. These switches pertain to settings of the actual camera.

1: DSS = The DCS-6915 supports DSS, default = on

2-4: Have no function, default = off.

5: Default = off. If set to on, the DCS-6915 will go back to factory defaults after every power on.

6: Indoor/Outdoor (Indoor = on, Outdoor = off). The DCS-6915 is an outdoor camera and default should be off. If planning to use this camera indoor, do not set this switch to indoor. The DCS-6915 only has an outdoor version, thus specified as outdoor.
