PTZ SETUP

PTZ devices are connected to the DX4500/DX4600 using the DATA 1 and DATA 2 RS-422/RS-485 ports located on the back of the unit. The DX4508/DX4608 supports up to 8 serial PTZ cameras; the DX4516/DX4616 supports up to 16 serial PTZ cameras. Multiple PTZ cameras are connected by daisy-chaining the camera connections. The DX4500/DX4600 allows you to address and control multiple PTZ cameras individually.

NOTE: You might experience operational issues when a camera device is not correctly terminated. When connecting camera devices, use a normal load termination of 75 ohms. When looping through DVR inputs, ensure that the signal is terminated at the end device. For additional information about terminating a specific camera device, refer to the device’s installation manual.

Before you perform the PTZ setup procedure, you will need the following information for each PTZ camera being configured:

•Channel to which the PTZ camera is attached

•Data port to which the camera is connected

•Pelco D and Pelco P address

•Camera protocol

•Communication settings: Baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bits
