Controlling a PTZ Camera
To control the PTZ functions of the camera, connect the controller to the RS485 port on the
rear panel (see Figure 2-2).
Note For speed dome cameras that support RS485, connect them directly to the
RS485 port.
If the camera is controlled with RS232C, use an RS485 to RS232C signal
converter.
On the PTZ Control Setup screen (see Figure 3-11) you can select or set the protocol type
of the camera that is the same as the one installed on the site. If the camera has a specific
camera ID, select the camera ID using the LEFT and RIGHT arrow controls. The following
options are available on the PTZ CONTROL screen:
• CAMERA SPEED (19200, 14400, 9600, 4800, 2400)
• CAMERA NUMBER (channel number that the PTZ is connected to)
• CAMERA TYPE (protocol type)
• CAMERA ID (0–63)
