Connecting Two Rs485 Cables; Setting Up The Camera(S) For Use With Your Dvr - Swann PRO-753 Instruction Manual

Connection Guide

Connecting two RS485 cables

So, you've got two (or more) RS485 cables to connect, and only one RS485 port. How does
this work?
• Insert all red connectors into the "A" or "+" socket of the RS485 port.
• Tighten the locking screw to secure in place. Don't do it up too tight - just tight enough
to ensure a good connection, and so the connectors don't fall out of the socket.
• Insert the all black connectors into the "B" or "-" socket of the RS485 port, and tighten
the right screw.
• To connect more than two PTZ devices to one DVR, you might need to use a terminal
block or other wire-coupling device.

Setting up the Camera(s) for use with your DVR

Once you've got the PRO-747 / PRO-753 properly connected to your DVR as shown already
in this manual and have followed the basic configuration procedures as described in your
DVR's manual:
1. Navigate to the PTZ Configuration menu. Ensure that the settings in this menu match
the following:
If you've connected the PRO-747 / PRO-753 to channel 1, you shouldn't need to change
anything on your DVR.
2. If you've more than 1 camera connected, you will need to assign each camera a unique
"Command Address" before you can control them individually via the DVR.
• Connect additional cameras one at a time to the channel 1 input on your DVR.
• Bring up the PTZ Control Interface and call
menu shown on the right.
• From the PTZ Control Interface, use the arrow buttons
to scroll to the "ADDRESS" setting. Then, select a unique
address for the camera using the left and right arrows.
To make it easy to remember, we suggest numbering it to
correspond to the channel input that you're plugging this
camera into. So if this camera is going to be connected to
channel 2, then set the command address to 2 as well).
• Take note of the Protocol and Baudrate that the camera
uses. You will need this information later when you configure the camera's PTZ
settings on your DVR.
