A socket) and
plastic sheath of the connector near the screws.
When connecting the wires to the RS485 plug(s):
• Use a precision flat-head screwdriver.
• Ensure the wires are held firmly and won't slip out
over time.
• Don't use too much force - there's a fine line between
holding the wires securely and breaking them!
The camera's on-screen display (OSD) is controlled using
the DVR's PTZ interface or OSD Controller.
The OSD is an optional, advanced feature and recommended
only for experienced users. The camera will work perfectly
well if you never attach the OSD Controller - it will regulate
all its settings automatically. For more information, see
"Advanced Feature: On-Screen Display" on page
To use the OSD Controller, connect the RS485 wires to
the RS485 port of the OSD Controller and use the included
power splitter to supply power to the DC IN socket as
shown above.
Note that the polarity of the RS485 plug on the OSD
Controller may or may not be the same as the polarity
of the RS485 plug on the rear of your DVR. Double check
against the diagram!
