7.1 CONNECTING A PTZ CAMERA
Your DVR can support one or more PTZ camera. You can use both SDI and analog PTZ cameras as
long as they are connected to the correct Video In port. These cameras connect to the DVR through
the same ports as a conventional camera, but the control wires connect through the RS485 block on
the back of the DVR.
Picture 7-1
, below, shows the location of the block on the rear panel of a QT608
DVR. Please consult Chapter 2 Connections and Controls to find the diagram representing your
model for the location of your connector block.
The RS485 connector uses a single-direction protocol meaning that it can send commands out to the
camera(s) but not receive any data back from the unit. In other words, directional controls travel through
one cable and video images will be delivered through the video cable as with any other camera.
The DVR is set by default for RS485 to be disabled for each channel. Therefore, PTZ settings must be
enabled before PTZ cameras can be utilized. This system supports 26 of the most common protocols
including Pelco-D and Pelco-P.
When connecting a PTZ camera, the following should be taken into account:
• 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 data cable from the PTZ
camera must be connected to the ports
highlighted in
Picture 7-1
. Multiple PTZ
cameras can be connected to this port,
but you may require an expander port to
do so.
STEP 2. Connect the other end of the cable
to the proper pins in the connector on the
camera
STEP 3. Connect the camera video and
power cables as you would any other
camera.
