1 Production Overview 1.1 Introduction The 2-wire analog indoor station (VTH) uses a 7-inch touch screen and uses the 2-wire system for communication. It supports preview of VTO and HDCVI cameras; supports intercom between VTO and VTH; and also remote unlocking, as well as connection to DMSS App. 1.2 Function Analog Communication Supports 2-wire communication. Video/Voice Call Make video or voice call to other VTOs. Monitoring Monitor VTO and HDCVI cameras.
Message View messages, including videos, pictures. Wi-Fi Networking Connect to Wi-Fi networks.
2 Network Diagram See the network diagram below to see all the networking scenarios. ● When there are 6 devices (VTH+VTO) connected together, only a maximum of 2 devices can be connected to power output port. ● The power supply of HDCVI camera cannot be grounded. ● The maximum power output allowed is 12 VDC/200 mA. Wiring One VTO and One VTH ● The two wires connected to the positive and negative terminals of OUT cannot be shortcircuited.
