CONNECTING A PTZ CAMERA

Setting up a PTZ Camera is simple. The XVR unit comes preassembled with an internal PTZ adapter. The cabling may be run up to 4,000 ft using 22 Gauge Twisted Pair.

It is important to understand how the PTZ connects to the XVR. The XVR outputs an RS-232 signal and converts in to an RS-422/485 signal which is then sent to the PTZ camera.

Attaching the RS-485 Adapter

1.Locate the PTZ adapter cable.

2.Connect the two wires of the PTZ adapter to the PTZ camera. The red wire on the adapter should connect to the RX+ on the PTZ and the brown wire should connect to the RX-.

3.Connect the other end of the adapter to the XVR unit as shown

4.Assign the PTZ camera an ID number that coincides with the number assigned to it by the XVR unit.

Example: If the camera is plugged into input number 5, set the PTZ unit to ID number 5.

TURNING ON THE XVR

1.Turn on the monitor and any external peripherals (ex. Printers, External Storage Devices, etc.) connected to the XVR unit.

2.Turn on the Power Switch located in the rear of the XVR unit.

3.The XVR will run a series of self-tests. After two or three minutes, a series of messages may be displayed as the various hardware and software subsystems are activated. Under normal circumstances, users should not be asked to respond to these messages. If asked to respond to the messages (adding a Printer, Monitor, etc for the first time) follow the instructions carefully.

4.Startup is complete when the Surveillix™ XVR software is finished loading and displays the main menu screen.

TURNING OFF THE XVR

1.Click the Exit Button on the main menu screen of the XVR software.

2.Select Power Off from the drop down menu, which appears in the Power Off prompt, and click OK.

The XVR unit may take several minutes to shut down completely.

CAUTION: Always be sure to follow the proper procedures when turning off the power to the XVR unit. NEVER disconnect the power to the XVR unit while it is still running or in the process of shutting down. Doing so can cause data loss, file corruption, system instability and hardware failure.
