Pan / Tilt / Zoom Overview
The PTZ controls within the recorder allow for powerful control over the cameras. This
can be extremely beneficial by increasing the usefulness of the recorded video. Using
the PTZ controls you can create custom preset configurations that can continuously
sweep across large areas.
Note PTZ setup and control is only available for supported video encoders with a
PTZ RS-485 pass-through.
Setting up a PTZ Camera
Setting up a PTZ Camera is simple. The recorder comes preassembled with an internal
PTZ adapter. The cabling may be run up to 4,000 ft using 22 Gauge Twisted Pair.
It is important to understand how the PTZ connects to the recorder. The recorder
outputs an RS-232 signal and converts it to an RS-485 signal which is then sent to the
PTZ camera.
Refer to the Connections section of this manual for information on connecting the PTZ
camera to the recorder.
