F.01U.249.416 | 2.0 | 2012.09 Installation Manual Bosch Security Systems, Inc.
5 Getting Started
Install and wire the camera according to the instructions in this manual and in the manuals
that accompany the power supply and mounting devices. A typical system includes a
keyboard, matrix switcher, monitor, and appropriate wiring connections. Refer to the
individual product manuals for complete installation and setup instructions for each of the
system components.
5.1 Establishing Control of the Camera
The MIC612 supports two communication protocols (Biphase and RS-485), and both Bosch
and Pelco D and P (keyboard) controller protocols that allow you to send commands to the
camera and to receive information from the camera.
5.1.1 Establishing Control of the Camera via Biphase Protocol
Biphase is the standard Bosch protocol used to send Pan/Tilt/Zoom control data. Biphase
connections require a MIC-BP3 or a MIC-BP4 Biphase converter (sold separately).
5.1.2 Establishing Control of the Camera via RS-485 Protocol
Users can connect: via a) PC -> RS-232 ->RS-232 to RS-485 converter-> MIC612 or
b) PC ->USB to RS-485 -> MIC612.
RS-485 is capable of controlling a true multidrop network and is specified for up to 32 drivers
and 32 receivers on a single 2-wire bus. The MIC612 camera can be connected in a 2- or 4-
wire mode. Available connection protocols are: Pelco, Bosch OSRD (via a keyboard with RS-
485 output), Bicom over serial (via CTFID software; see the CTFID User Manual for installation
details), and Forward Vision protocols.
NOTICE!
Biphase protocol works only with Bosch controller protocol. It does not work with Pelco
controller protocol.
