PAN / TILT / ZOOM OVERVIEW

The PTZ controls within the XVR 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.

SETTING UP 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 2,000 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.
