It uses a single-directionprotocol meaning that it can send commands out to the camera(s) but not receive any databack from the unit.The DVR is set by default for RS485 to be disabled for each channel. Therefore, PTZ settingsmust be enabled before PTZ cameras can be utilized. This system supports 26 of the mostcommon protocols including Pelco-D and Pelco-P.When connecting a PTZ camera, the following should be taken into account:• Shielded twisted wire is recommended with the shielded layer being used to connect to theground. Improper grounding may result in chip damage. We recommend using CAT 5 or CAT6 wire for this purpose.• The 485 port of this DVR cannot parallel connect with the 485 port of another device• The voltage between the A and B lines of the camera should be less than 5V.STEP 1. The two wires of the data cable from the PTZ camera must be inserted intothe ports labeled A & B as shown in Picture 6-1. Multiple PTZ cameras can beconnected to this port, but you may require an expander port to do so.A BSTEP 2. The color of these leads willvary by manufacturer but they shouldbe labeled “+” or positive and “-” ornegative. The positive wire should beinserted into port A with the negativegoing into port B.The insulation on both leads should be stripped to expose about 1/8” or 4mm of baremetal. You must push in the orange tab above the port with a small item like the end ofa paperclip while inserting the wire lead. When the wire is sufficiently inserted, releasethe orange tab. Pull gently on the wire to ensure that it is locked in the port.STEP 3. Connect the other end of the cable to the proper pins in the connector on thecameraSTEP 4. Connect the camera video and power cables as you would any other camera.
