Overview- introduction to fitting PTZ equipment Generally speaking, PTZ cameras requires four things; 1- They require a power supply and a cable to supply this power to the dome. Often, external PTZs are 24V A.C but some mini pan and tilt domes are 12V. 2- They require a cable to get the video signal back to the monitor or recording device.

The control signal (RS485) is nearly always sent along a “ twisted-pair” type cable. The twists in the cable help prevent interference affecting the data signal by “ shielding” it. Many installation companies use a CAT5 type or similar cable to run out to the PTZs to carry the data signal. If you are considering using baluns please note - DVR’...
RS485 Wiring methods & Tips >>>>> 1. Characteristics of RS485 As specified by RS485 standards, RS485 is a half-duplex data transmission type with characteristic impedance of 120 . The maximum load capacity is 32 units (PTZs, keyboards and DVRs). 2. Transmission distances of RS485 Signals using CAT5 or similar cables Selecting a CAT5 or similar sized twisted pair data transmission cable, the maximum theoretical transmitting distances are as follows: Baud Rate...
..Standard Daisy-Chain connection for the RS485 PTZ control signal (just the last PTZ only has the 120 resistor set to on, the first device is the keyboard and has the 120 built in as default) This next diagram is a slight variation on the Daisy Chain arrangement.
STAR method of connection. In some circumstances you may need to adopt a star configuration for practical purposes. For instance, all the PTZs may be so scattered on a large site that running out separate spurs to each dome in a “ STAR” array is the only practical solution.
Page 11
Where you wish to run several separate CAT5 cables out to send the RS485 data signal out to the PTZs you are in effect correcting the STAR method of RS485 data distribution. As previously mentioned the problem with the Star method is that it is not actually designed for RS485 but generally works okay if you follow the previous notes on getting the 120ohm resistor setting right, as per the previous notes.
Setting up the Traditional PTZ Camera 1. Connection of the System There are many ways to wire up a PTZ system. If you have read the introduction at the beginning of these instructions you should have got a good idea what your options are.
The following table gives you an indication of the maximum lengths that you can achieve using this cable the composite cable and the PTZ800 range PTZs. Power cable requirement – Assuming a starting voltage of 24V A.C is applied at the PSU end.

The PTZ730 and PTZ700 are two keypads that can be used PTZ730 keypad with the PTZ800 series. On the rear of the keypads you will see the RS485 connections. Ensure they are connected correctly i.e the RS485 + A line and the RS485 – B line.
If you use cores from two different pairs in the CAT5 cable you will not get the benefit of the shielding effect of the cable twists and the PTZ will function erratically. You must always use a core from a PAIR, not two cores from two different pairs!! Connecting the video out of the PTZ The PTZ has a short BNC lead attached to it, this is the lead that carries the video signal from the...

PRESETS and other functions. The PTZ has up to 128 presets that once programmed with stay in the PTZ’ s non-volatile memory so they will be retained even after a power cut. What is a preset? A preset is a particular area or object that the PTZe was looking at and has been stored into its memory so when the preset is “...
Patrols (Tours) – How to set them up and use them A patrol (tour) is simply a collection of at least three preset camera locations that are run in sequence with the PTZ stopping at each location for a brief period of time and then moving on to the next preset. For example, you could use a patrol so that an outside PTZ camera points at a gate, then at a side doorway, then zooms out to get an overall shot of a car park and finally zooming in on a delivery bay, before repeating the whole cycle again.

Wall Mounting The PTZ can be fitted using the wall bracket or the base plate. If fitting using wall bracket, first secure the wall bracket using M8 screws. There is a removable plate under the support arm. See diagrams below. This plate can be removed so that connecting cables can be fitted.
Connecting cables for wall mounting Base Plate Mounting Use the base mounting plate as a template for drilling holes into fixing position. The next step is to fit the base plate to the bottom of the PTZ using M6 x 20 screws.
Page 45
The third step is to fit the PTZ and base plate to the fixing position. Ensure that the connecting wires are placed into the groove under the mounting plate to avoid them being damaged. The diagram opposite show the PTZ fitted.

2 channel alarm input activation One of the special features of this dome is that it has two in-built alarm channels to call two independent presets. This means that for example you may have a door contact and when the contact is closed, it sends a 0 volt alarm switch to the PTZ on one of the two alarm channels.
the building. The requirement is to ensure that during out of hours the entrance door is not breached and if the door is opened the PTZ will automatically switch to preset point 3. The PTZ alarm 1 channel is connected to a door contact on the main entrance door using a CAT5 twisted pair.
Appendix A: General Information Troubleshooting To avoid problems and to ensure the PTZ has been correctly setup it is always advisable to test the equipment in your workshop before you go on-site. If workshop setup is successful, any problems experienced on-site will be greatly minimised.
