Connection of RS485 cameras

The following are examples when connecting RS485 cameras to the recorder.

Up to 8 RS485 cameras can be connected to a single RS485 port.

Important:

Select "On" for the termination setting of the devices on both ends of the connection. The termination setting of the recorder can be set using the mode switch. (Page 51)

When connecting RS485 cameras, configure the settings on the [RS485 setup] tab under the "Communication" page of the setup menu together with the RS485 settings of each camera. (Page 94)

The maximum RS485 cable length for this connection is 1 200 m {3 937 ft}.

1-on-1 connection

Connect a single RS485 camera to the RS485 port.

Example: When connecting RS485 cameras to the video input connector 9 and 13
