Caution The network connector is not designed to be connected directly
with cable or wire intended for outdoor use.
Connecting the RS485 Port
The DVR can be controlled remotely by an external device or control system, such as a
control keyboard, using RS485 half-duplex serial communications signals. The RS485
connector can also be used to control PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) cameras. Connect the RX-/
TX- and RX+/TX+ of the control system to the TX-/RX- and TX+/RX+ (respectively) of
the DVR. See
Chapter 3, Configuration and the PTZ camera or remote controller
manufacturer's manual for configuring the RS485 connection.
