Connecting a PTZ Camera
Setting up a PTZ Camera is simple. The recorder comes preassembled with an internal PTZ adapter.
The cabling may be run up to 4,000 ft using 22 Gauge Twisted Pair.
It is important to understand how the PTZ connects to the recorder. The recorder transmits an RS-232
signal and converts in to an RS-422/485 signal which is then sent to the PTZ camera.
1.
Locate the PTZ adapter cable
2.
Connect the wires of the PTZ adapter to the PTZ camera. The yellow
wire should connect to the RX+ on the camera and the orange wire
should connect to the RX-.
3.
Connect the other end of the adapter to the recorder as shown.
4.
Assign the PTZ camera an ID number in the PTZ Setup menu in the
Server Software that coincides with the number assigned to the camera.
This is normally done utilizing a dip-switch configuration method on the
addressable dome.
Example
If the camera is plugged into input number 5, set the PTZ unit to ID
number 5.
