VT-PTZ12WH Cam Port 1 = Dome ID1, Cam Port 2 = Dome ID 2 … Cam Port 16 = Dome ID 16. If more than 16 dome cameras are installed using two or more DVRs the following formula is useful to determine the Dome ID: ID =16x (n-1) +m (where n= number of DVR, m=Camera Port) Refer to Figures 9 for setting the dome camera address (ID) and protocol selection.
VT-PTZ12WH 2.9 Connections • How to Connect RS485 The dome camera has a built-in RS-485 receiver so that it can be controlled remotely by an external control device such as a joystick controller or a DVR. RS-485: Connect the TXA (Tx+) and TXB (Tx-) of the RS485 control devices (KBD, DVR…) to TRX+, TRX- of the dome camera.
VT-PTZ12WH 3.0 Mounting the Dome Camera Once all DIP switches are set properly and all external connections are made, the dome camera can be mounted. The Mini PTZ Dome camera is designed to mount on a structural body supporting loads up to 3 Kg. See Figure 11.
