Configure PTZ Camera Controller

1. If you have not already done so, connect the video output of the PTZ camera (BNC connection) to your DVR or video monitor.
   
   
2. Run the other end of your RS 485 cable to the PTZ controller and attach as seen below. *Note: The positive terminal on the controller is on the left.
   
   
   
   
3. Adjust the protocol and baud rate switches on your controller to match the pitcure below.
   
   
   
   
   Switches 1,2,4,5 should be set to the Off position.
   Switches 3,6,7,8 should be set to the On position.
   
   
4. Plug in the PTZ controller into a power source using the power supply that the controller came with.
   
   
5. Plug the PTZ controller into a power source using the power supply that the camera came with.
   
   
6. After the camera initializes, type the following into the PTZ keyboard to gain control of the camera that you just configured: 0 (zero), 2 (two), CAM, ON  (in that order as seen below).  This tells your controller that you want to control camera ID #2 that your keyboard is attached to.
   
   
   
   Important - Although we configured the address of the camera to be ID #1, your keyboard recognizes the camera as ID #2.  Be sure to increment your ID by one on the controller.  So if your next camera is ID #2, you will control this camera on your PTZ keyboard by initializing camera #3 by pressing: 0 (zero), 3 (three), CAM, ON.
   
   You should now be able to control your camera using your PTZ controller / keyboard.
