WHICH CABLE TO USE?
Your cabling needs will depend on the distance between your camera and your
DVR. Q-See offers several cables to fit specific needs. These may be purchased
from the same location as where you bought your camera, or on our website:

To extend the RS485 data cable, you may use any 24 gauge wire, including Cat 5.
To maintain video quality:
· Video quality is always enhanced by using shielded cables.
· Always check state and local laws before installing cameras. (2011 NEC 820.44)
· To prevent video signal loss, run one continuous cable between the camera and
DVR for best results. If more length is required, use the minimum number of inter-
connection points possible.
Other notes:
· If a cable run exceeds 800ft, we recommend using RG-6 coaxial cable which is
available at most retail building supply companies.
· If your home or business is pre-wired with CAT-5 cable, then you can run up to
1000ft. Powered video baluns are required for easy installation.

OPERATION

Your camera can be controlled manually through a PTZ keyboard (if supported
by your DVR), or by using the PTZ controls on the DVR to which it is connected.
Depending on the software used, it is also possible to control the PTZ camera
remotely when you are logged into the DVR via the Internet, a remote monitoring
program or a smartphone app.
The QD6523ZH is able to be programmed directly using its on-screen display but
most users prefer to use the DVR's own control inteface to program cruises - also
called "scans" or "tours" on some systems - so that the camera w ill perform a set
search pattern of the surrounding area. Multiple cruises may be set up and each
can generally have up to 16 specific preset points. The exact numbers will depend
upon your DVR.
GENERAL CRUISE SETUP PROCEDURE
You will need to consult your DVR's
manual for specific instructions on
creating preset points, cruises and
scans. That said, there are general
similarities in the process that can be
covered here to get you started. Most
involve the process of pivoting the
camera to the desired starting point and
saving that point. Then, by selecting
one or more points for the camera to
move to in sequence, a scan path is
built which is then saved. Often, multiple
paths can be saved within the DVR,
which can be selected for later use.
These points can be set using a special
PTZ keyboard, or by using the PTZ
controls on the DVR itself. Two such
on-screen interfaces are shown at right; the QT-Series (top) and QC-series (bottom).
In both examples, directional control is achieved by using the DVR's mouse to
click on one of the directional arrows. As long as the arrow is held, the camera will
move in that direction. There are no horizontal stops and the camera can rotate
continuously if desired. The camera's elevation is limited to 90°.
On both control panels there are controls for zoom, focus and iris (light level).
The QD6523ZH has a 23x optical zoom lens which will adjust between 3.9 and
89.7mm. The camera has an auto-focus feature but the user can also adjust it
to bring a specific item into focus. Likewise, the iris feature - which automatically
controls the amount of light entering the lens - can also be further adjusted manually
It is important to note that preset 95 is reserved for accessing the camera's internal
menu and this will be covered on following pages.
