User’s Manual 1.2 Product Application Connect dome cameras to other devices, as shown in the diagram, to complete a video surveillance solution. NOTE: To extend the network distance up to 1.2 km (4000 feet) and to protect the connected devices, it is highly recommended to place a repeater at the mid-point. However, a repeater may be needed in the network distance less than 1.2 km if the used cables are not the CAT 5, 24-gauge cables (see 2.7 RS-485 Connector Definition).
User’s Manual 2. Connecting the Mini Speed Dome Please refer to the following sections to connect, set and operate the dome camera. In order to control the dome camera, basically a control keyboard or other control device is required. 2.1 Package Content Before proceeding, please check the box contains the items listed here. If any item is missing or has defects, DO NOT install or operate the product and contact your dealer for assistance.

The switches used for configuring these settings are located on the bottom of the dome camera.
User’s Manual 2.3 Communication Switch Setting The table below shows the function of each pin within the Communication Switch. Communication Switch SW 1 SW 2 RS-485 Setting SW 3 Termination SW 4 Line Lock SW 5 System Initialization SW 6 Camera Upgrade RS-485 is the interface that communicates the dome camera and its control device; for this reason, the RS-485 setup of the dome and the control device must be the same. The RS-485 default setting is half-duplex (see the diagram follows).
User’s Manual Centesimal Digit Decimal Digit Single Digit it NOTE: The number “0” should locate upwards as shown in the diagram above for correct switch definition. 2.5 Dome Control Protocol Setup Define the protocol you are going to use basing on the devices of your surveillance system. Generally, use one protocol even the devices are provided from different manufacturers. Use the switch to set your dome control protocol and the baud rate.
User’s Manual NOTE: The number “0” should locate upwards as shown in the diagram above for correct switch definition. 2.6 22-Pin Connector Definition A 50-cm data cable (as shown in the figure below) is shipped with the speed dome for quick installation for demo or testing usage. Additionaly, the section will also provide the definition of each pin within the 22-pin connector on the data cable. For more information about RS-485 connector, see 2.7 RS-485 Connector Definition.
User’s Manual NOTE: When wiring the power cable, make sure the G/Y wire (Ground) inserted into the mid-pin of the terminal block. The 22-pin connector definition is listed as follows.
User’s Manual 2.7 RS-485 Connector Definition RS-485 is the interface that communicates the dome camera and its control device. Please connect the control keyboard to the speed dome through the terminal block. The recommended cables for RS-485 communication are CAT 5 cables; maximum cable length for over 24-gauge wire is 4000 feet (1219 meters). If the total cable length exceeds 4000 feet, using a repeater to maintain the signals is recommended.
