Ptz Control Connection; Installing The Camera - Uniden Guardian G710PTZC Quick Start Manual

PTZ CONTROL CONNECTION

In addition to connecting the power and video leads to the camera, you must also connect the two bare wire leads to the
RS485 ports in the PTZ controller on the back of the DVR.
As seen in the referenced image, the wire leads from the camera are two different colors and are labeled. They are also
pre-installed into a block which plugs into a matching receptacle on the extension cable. The control wire leads at the other
end of the extension cable must be inserted into the ports on the back of the DVR. In the case of the RS485 ports being
marked as positive (+) and negative (-), the wire designated RS485 A (red tip) is the positive lead while the wire marked
RS485 B (black tip) is to go into the negative port. Your camera comes with a connector that the bare wires plug into above each
port. The connector will either have small screws to tighten the wires into the port or a release clamp to keep the wires firmly
secured in the connector.
If the wire can easily be removed from the port, then it isn't secure and you can experience control difficulties until it is
properly attached. Space permitting, multiple PTZ cameras may be connected to the same ports. They will each require
a different address, which is set up using the DIP switches as covered in the previous section.

INSTALLING THE CAMERA

When installing your camera, it is important to select a proper site not only for field of view, but for other considerations as well:
Distance from viewing/recording device. The further the camera is from the DVR or monitor, the higher the chances of signal
degradation. Typical 75 Video Cable provides acceptable signal at distances up to 200' (30m). At greater distances, UL-Listed
shielded RG59 should be used. The camera's power supply should be located as near to the camera as possible when the
distance exceeds 200' as the power level will drop over extended distances resulting in a decrease in video quality.
Do not place near high voltage wires or other sources of electrical interference. Electrical interference will degrade the
quality of the signal.
