The PTZ controls within the HDDR unit allow for powerful control over the cameras. This can be extremely beneficial by
increasing the usefulness of the recorded video. Using the PTZ controls you can create custom preset configurations
that can continuously sweep across large areas.

Setting up a PTZ Camera is simple. The HDDR unit comes preassembled with an internal RS-422/485 adapter.
Setting up a PTZ Camera

manual for detailed instructions.
3) Assign the PTZ Camera an ID number that coincides with the number assigned to it by the HDDR unit. For
Example: If the HDDR unit specifies the camera as Camera 5, you must set the PTZ unit to ID Number 5.

edited. Select the proper Protocol. (See Section 4.3)
