Pelco Ptz Installation, DS Enterprise SAVR/DS XPress/VAU PTZ Connections, C3662M 6/08

PTZ INSTALLATION

PTZ cameras can be installed on DS Enterprise SAVR, DS XPress, DS 1000, DS RealVue, or a VAU. Each of these components contains two COM ports, as shown on the following page:

•COM1 is used directly with cameras that require RS-232 communication. COM1 can also be used with cameras that require RS-422 or RS-485 communications when used with an external converter. Refer to Figure 32 and Figure 33 to locate COM1.

•COM5 can be used only with cameras that require RS-422 communication. Only the TX+ and TX– pins on connector are used to wire the PTZ camera. The location of this connector varies among DS models. Refer to Figure 32 and Figure 33 to locate COM5.

NOTE: In DSAdmin, you must select COM6 as the PTZ port when using the COM5 connector. This port is called COM2 in most previous versions of DS systems. In those cases, you should select COM2 in the software. Run FlashGuardTest to determine the PTZ COM number (refer to FlashGuard and the WatchDog Service on page 40 for details).
