communication cable from the PTZ camera to the 485A (TX, +) and 485B
(RX, -) control inputs to the PTZ block on the back of the DVR. Note there
is only one set of PTZ control inputs (485A & 485B), however multiple PTZ
cameras can be set up by making parallel connections. See diagram for
details and see “PTZ Camera Setup” Info box for additional information.
Step 2: Configure PTZ Communication Settings:
To access this menu, from the MAIN MENU click ADVANCED then PTZ

3. Under DATA BITS, select 5,6,7 or 8 as appropriate.
4. Under STOP BITS, set to either 1 or 2.
5. Under VERIFY, select ODD, EVEN, MARK, SPACE, or NONE
parity bits. Note: Mark = 1, Space = 0 parity bits.
6. Under ADDRESS, enter an address from 001~255 using the Virtual Keyboard.
7. Click OK in the confirmation window.
8. Click EXIT in all menus until all windows are closed.

NOTE: It is recommended for best results to use 120Ω
shielded twisted pair cable of a sufficient gauge to meet
your application length. 18 to 22 gauge is usually sufficient.
In addition, be sure to only install the 120Ω terminating
resistor that comes with your PTZ camera in the last parallel connected
camera. Keeping that resistor in all cameras can possibly degrade the
signal and can cause unexpected or loss of operation and control.
