2.7 Connections
• Connecting to the RS485/ 422
The dome camera can be controlled remotely by an external device or control system,
such as a control keyboard, using RS485 half-duplex, RS422 full duplex or simplex serial
communications signals. Connect Marked Tx+, Tx- to Tx+(Rx+) and Tx-(Rx-) of the RS485
control system.
If control system is RS422, connect Rx+(Tx+), Rx+(Tx-) and Rx+, Rx- of the dome camera to
Rx+, Rx- and Tx+, Tx- of the control device respectively.
If using a coaxitron control system the RS485/422 connection is not necessary. All control
signals are carried through the coaxial cable along with the video signal.
• Connecting Video out connector
Connect the video out(BNC) connector to the monitor or video input.
