Digital I/O & Ptz; Ptz Settings - GeoVision GV-Video Server User Manual

4.2 Digital I/O & PTZ
For auxiliary device control, you can find one I/O / PTZ port along with one RS-232
terminal block for GPS control on the rear panel of GV-VS12 (see Figure 1-12). Differently,
on the rear panels of GV-VS04A, GV-VS04H and GV-VS11, all the functions for auxiliary
device control are included in a terminal block. For details, see Chapter 9 Auxiliary Device
Connectors.
The connectors for all terminal blocks on all models and the I/O / PTZ port on the GV-
VS12 can be divided into four categories based on the interface being used:
1. Digital Input / Output
2. RS-485 interface for PTZ control
3. Wiegand interface for access control
(only available on GV-VS04A and GV-VS04H)
4. GPS interface for vehicle tracking:
•
UART: available on GV-VS04A and GV-VS04H
•
RS-232: available on GV-VS12

4.2.1 PTZ Settings

Through the RS-485 interface on the I/O terminal block, you can connect up to 4 PTZ
cameras depended on models. Before adding a PTZ camera to the GV-Video Server, you
must install the PTZ components from the Software DVD by selecting Install PTZ on the
installation menu. Then open this PTZ Settings page to configure the baud rate and
address. For these settings, please consult your PTZ documentation.
Figure 4-12
Note: Currently the GV-Video Server doesn't support the PTZ camera with RS-232
interface. For compatible PTZ models, see Appendix E.
