6.1PAN/TILT/ZOOM Overview

The PTZ controls within the DVR unit allow for powerful control over the cameras. This can be extremely beneficial by increasing the usefulness of the recorded video. Using the PTZ controls you can create custom preset configurations that can continuously sweep across large areas.

6.2Setting Up a PTZ Camera

Setting up a PTZ Camera is simple. The DVR unit comes preassembled with an internal PTZ adapter. The cabling may be run up to 10,000 ft using 22 Gauge Twisted Pair.

It is important to understand how the PTZ connects to the DVR. The DVR takes an RS- 422/485 connection and converts it into an RS-232 connection. The RS-232 connection cable must be attached before the PTZ camera will be controllable by the DVR.

Attaching the RS-232 adapter

1)Locate the RS-232 adapter from the contents shipped within the DVR. (See Figure 6.2a)

2)Connect the RJ-11 end to the RJ-11 jack on the back of the DVR and the other end to the Serial Port on the back of the DVR.

When connected, it should look like Figure 6.2b.
