Installing Cameras
Before you can use the PIVOTCam Control Panel to control your cameras, they must be securely mounted, cabled,
and turned on.
PIVOTCam cameras communicate over a serial RS232 interface. Each camera must communicate through a
serial-to-IP converter. All serial-to-IP converters must be connected to the same Ethernet network as the computer
running DashBoard and the PIVOTCam Control Panel.
Each serial-to-IP converter has a single IP address. It may have multiple ports. Each port may be attached to up to
seven daisy-chained PIVOTCam cameras. The maximum cable length for RS232 communication between nodes
(between two cameras, or between a camera and a serial-to-IP converter) is 50 feet (15m).
Refer to the
PIVOTCam User Manual (5000DR-300-xx)
for information about how to mount and cable the
cameras.
Configuring Cameras
After the cameras are mounted and cabled, turn them on and perform the following configuration tasks:
• “
Configure Camera Communication Settings
• “
Configure Serial-to-IP Converters
Configure Camera Communication Settings
Using the remote control unit that came with the camera, navigate the on-screen menu to configure the following
settings:
•
ADDRESS
— Set to a value between
1
and
7
. If multiple cameras are communicating through a single port of a
serial-to-IP converter, each camera in the daisy chain must have a unique chain address. Note the chain address
of each camera so you can later configure connectivity to it.
•
BAUD RATE
— The factory default baud rate is
9600
. Do not change this value. The baud rate of all cameras in
a daisy-chain must be set to
9600
.
For information about using the remote control unit to configure camera settings, see the
PIVOTCam User Manual
(5000DR-300-xx)
