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 PTZ block on the back of the DVR. Note there is only one set of PTZ control inputs (485A & 485B), however multiple PTZ cameras can be set up 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.
