Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) Setup:
Note: Consult the instruction manual of your PTZ
camera for complete information about your camera,
including protocol, baud rate and parity settings before
beginning setup. Enter these settings in the DVR.

STEP 1: Connect your PTZ Camera to this DVR

Connect a PTZ camera to the BNC and DC power cables. Also,
connect the communication cable from the PTZ camera to the
485A (TX, +) and 485B (RX, -) control inputs to the PTZ block on
the back of the DVR. Note there is only one set of PTZ control
inputs (485A & 485B), however multiple PTZ cameras can be set
up by making parallel connections. See diagram for details and
see "PTZ Camera Setup" Info box for additional information.
PTZ Camera Setup
NOTE: It is recommended for best results to use
120Ω shielded twisted pair cable of a sufficient
gauge to meet your application length. 18 to 22
gauge is usually sufficient. In addition, be sure to
only install the 120Ω terminating resistor that comes with your
PTZ camera in the last parallel connected camera. Keeping that
resistor in all cameras can possibly degrade the signal and can
cause unexpected or loss of operation and control.

Step 2: Configure PTZ Communication Settings

To access this menu, from the setup menu click DEVICE. Then PTZ.
This will bring up the PTZ setup screen. PTZ setting options for each
camera can be selected independently for each camera channel
1. Select the appropriate channel connected to the PTZ camera using
the drop down
2. Under ADDRESS, enter an address from 001–255 using the virtual
keyboard
3. Under protocol, select the appropriate protocol based on the
setting of the camera using the drop down menu (PELCO-D,
PELCO-P, PELCO-D EXT, PELCO-P EXT, PELCO-D-3)
4. Under BAUD rate, select 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 as set in the PTZ
camera
5. Click OK to confirm settings. Click EXIT to leave screen without
making changes
LEFT/RIGHT, UP/DOWN, IRIS ZOOM, FOCUS ZOOM and
ZOOM EXCHANGE will reverse the actions taken when
moving or zooming the camera. For example movement
to the left, becomes movement to the right and movement
to zoom in is reversed to movement to zoom out.
Note: Changes to the PTZ setup screen take place immediately.
However, in the event of a power failure, the settings can
revert to the previous settings. It is recommended to perform
a power down and restart through the drop down menu to
save changes in order for the system to operate with these
changed PTZ setting should a power failure occur.
