Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) Setup:

NOTE: Consult the instruction manual of your PTZ camera for complete information about your camera, including protocol, baud rate and parity settings before beginning setup. Enter these settings in the DVR.

Step 1: Connect your PTZ Camera to this DVR

Connect a PTZ camera to the BNC and DC power cables. Also, connect the communication cable from the PTZ camera to the 485A (TX, +) and 485B (RX, -) control inputs to the Alarm/PTZ block on the back of the DVR. Note there are two sets of PTZ control connections (485A-1/485B-1 & 485A-2/485B-2). Multiple PTZ cameras can be set up with each by making parallel connections. See diagram for details and see “PTZ Camera Setup” Info box for additional information.

PTZ Camera Setup

NOTE: It is recommended for best results to use 120Ω shielded twisted pair cable of a sufficient gauge to meet your application length. 18 to 22 gauge is usually sufficient. In addition, be sure to only install the 120Ω terminating

resistor that comes with your PTZ camera in the last parallel connected camera. Keeping that resistor in all cameras can possibly degrade the signal and can cause unexpected or loss of operation and control.

Step 2: Configure PTZ Communication Settings:

To access this menu, from the MAIN MENU click DEVICES then PTZ (see PTZ Setup image). Use the slider bar on the right of the screen to access all 8 channels available on this DVR. The PTZ setting options for each camera can be selected independently and are available next to each camera’s channel number.

1.Under PROTOCOL, select PELCO-D or PELCO-P for the selected channel.

2.Under BAUD RATE, select 1200, 2400, 4800, or 9600.

3.Under PARITY, select ODD, EVEN, MARK, SPACE, or NONE parity bits. Note: Mark = 1, Space = 0 parity bits.

4.Under ADDRESS, provide an address from 001~255 using the Virtual Key- board for each PTZ camera.

5.Click APPLY. Click OK in the REMARK window.

6.Click EXIT in all menus until all windows are closed.

Select PTZ from the Quick Access Menu

Step 3: Configure the Operation & Control of your PTZ

Camera(s):

After your PTZ camera(s) are set up you can control their operation from your DVR. Note: Individual features must be available on your camera to operate.

1.In Live View, double click on the Channel with the connected PTZ Camera to open to full screen view. This selects the channel to configure and control.

2.From the Quick Access Menu select PTZ. (See image at left)

3.From the PTZ CONTROL screen you can adjust:

• Pan Speed (3-63): Adjusts the speed the camera will move.

• Zoom: “+” Zooms in and “-” zooms out

•Focus: “+” and “-” focuses the picture.

•Iris: “+” lets more light in and “-” removes light from the picture. This is useful to correct backlight issues.

•Directional keys: Left and Right Arrows control the pan; Up and Down arrows control the tilt.
