2.4 Setting Dome Camera Address (ID)
To prevent damage, each dome camera must have a unique address (ID).
When installing multiple dome cameras using a multiplexer, it is suggested that the dome camera
address match the multiplexer port number.
The factory default setting is 1.
2.5 Connections
• Connecting to the RJ-45

over cable is used for directly connection to PC, while a direct cable is used for connection to a
hub.
• Connecting Alarms

Connect the ground side of the alarm input and/or alarm output to the G (Ground) connector.
AO (Alarm Output)
The dome camera can activate external devices such as buzzers or lights. Connect the device
to the AO (Alarm Output) and G (Ground) connectors.
• Connecting to the RS485
The dome camera can be controlled remotely by an external device or control system, such as
a control keyboard, using RS485 half-duplex serial communications signals.
• Connecting Video out connector
Connect the video out (BNC) connector to the monitor or video input.
• Connecting the Power
Connect the power of 12VDC 1.0A for the dome camera.
When using a 12VDC adapter, connector the po) pole to the ‘+’ position and the
