RS-485 Bus: Control signal output from joystick controller, connected in a bus configuration to the RS485 communication terminals of the control cable for each dome.
4. Quick Start Operation Guide CAUTION: Do not turn the power ON until you have finished all connections and communication settings). 4.1 Connect the power to the dome As soon as the power is turned ON, the dome initiates a self test which includes a rotation of the dome on both axis and the camera will display a brief menu followed by a live image on the monitor.
4.5 Direct Input Commands for Dome Operation The following preset position addresses are reference to the direct memory location of the dome controller. They do not correspond to memory preset positions in the keyboard controller or software applications that support PTZ preset functions. Please consult the manual of the chosen keyboard controller for correct operation.
