The speed dome series provide an integrated termination switch. It should be
turned ON on the dome serving as the last device. If a controller keyboard is
used, you also need to turn the termination ON on the keyboard. Please refer to
the keyboard’s manual for details.
RS485 Termination
Devices using RS485 control are usually connected in daisy-chain which
reqiuers termination with 120
Ω
resistor on both ends. The following graphic
illustrates the connection methods. Please note that a daisy-chain connection
type shall not exceed 7 meters.

Star-Connection
The star-form connection is a popular way to connect different devices. It enables
longer distance connection of different dome cameras. It is recommended to use
RS485 distributor to ensure the telemetric data transmission:
The advantage of star-connection is
that every channel can work
independently and supports a cable
length up to 1000 meters (depending on
the quality of the cable). In case more
dome cameras are installed, the star-
connection can be extended with
additional RS485 distributors.

How to turn termination ON on the Dome
The termination switch is located on the rear side of the connection board. For
turning it ON open theconnector board.
If the cable length is more than 400 m, it is recommended to use optional accessories,
such as video amlifiersor twisted-pair video converters, to amplify the video signal.
