Pan, Tilt, and Zoom (PTZ) Setup
Flexibility
Use of panning-tilting and zooming (PTZ) is optional, even with cameras that have the capability to
pan, tilt and zoom. Not all cameras have PTZ features. Check with your installer if you are unsure.
Preparations
To prepare a Multi-Media unit to use cameras with PTZ capability, a Multi SA needs to setup a:
• Serial device for PTZ. A Multi SA can consult the installer to find out which serial ports of the
unit are connected to the serial communications line of PTZ domes / PTZ cameras. For setting
a PTZ device, see the procedure:
To Assign and Set a New PTZ Device, below.
• On Multi-Media units with three or more serial ports, use any port for PTZ. For units that have
only two serial ports, Honeywell recommends that PTZ domes be connected to port 2; other
serial devices might be assignable only to port 1.
• Many domes, daisy-chained can be connected to the Multi-Media unit if they use the same
Communications settings for PTZ. For the address set on each camera, consult the installer.
Other dome communications settings can be found in the dome-manufacturer’s
documentation.
