The PTZ controls within the DVR 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
Setting up a PTZ Camera is simple. The DVR unit comes preassembled with an internal PTZ adapter. The cabling may
be run up to 10,000 ft using 22 Gauge Twisted Pair.
It is important to understand how the PTZ connects to the DVR. The DVR takes an RS- 422/485 connection and
converts it into an RS-232 connection. The RS-232 connection cable must be attached before the PTZ camera will be
controllable by the DVR.
Attaching the RS-232 adapter
1) Locate the RS-232 adapter from the contents
shipped within the DVR. (See Figure 6.2a)
2) Connect the RJ-11 end to the RJ-11 jack on the back
of the DVR and the other end to the Serial Port on
the back of the DVR.
When connected, it should look like Figure 6.2b.
