Controllers and RS485
While most keyboards, DVRs and video servers are equipped with RS485 port,
which can be directly connected to speed dome, desk top and notebook computers
usually don’t provide direct output of RS485. Therefore an interface device (signal
converter) will be needed when computer is used as the controller.
Note:
Check the PC first to see if RS232 port or USB port is available to the specific unit.
Some may have both while others only have one of the two.
If you need the RS232 or USB to RS485 converter, check with your
camera supplier for the information.
