7.1 PAN / 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.
7.2 SETTING 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 4,000 ft using 22 Gauge Twisted Pair.
It is important to understand how the PTZ connects to the DVR. The DVR outputs an RS-232 signal and converts
in to an RS-422/485 signal which is then sent to the PTZ camera.
NOTE: The RS-232 connection cable must be attached before the PTZ camera will be controllable by the DVR.
7.2.1 ATTACHING THE RS-232 ADAPTER
Locate the RS-232 adapter from the
contents shipped within the DVR.
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
