Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) Setup:
NOTE: Consult the instruction manual of your PTZ camera for complete
information about your camera, including protocol, baud rate, data bit,
stop bit and parity settings before beginning setup. Enter these settings in
the DVR.
Step 1: Connect your PTZ Camera to this DVR
Connect a PTZ camera to the BNC and DC power cables. Also, connect
the communication cable from the PTZ camera to the 485A (TX, +)
and 485B (RX, -) control inputs to the Alarm/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 (see
PTZ Setup image). The PTZ setting options for each camera can be selected
independently and are available under each camera’s channel number.
1. Under PROTOCOL, select PELCO-D or PELCO-P for the selected channel.
2. Under BAUD RATE, select 1200, 2400, 4800, or 9600.
3. Under DATA BIT select 5, 6, 7, or 8.
4. Under STOP BIT, select 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, provide an address from 001~255 using the Virtual Key-
board for each PTZ camera.
7. Click APPLY. Click OK in the confirmation window.
8. Click EXIT in all menus until all windows are closed.
Step 3: Configure the Operation & Control of your PTZ
Camera(s):
After your PTZ camera(s) are set up you can control their
operation from your DVR. Note: Individual features must be
available on your camera to operate.
1. In Live View, double click on the Channel with the connected
PTZ Camera to open to full screen view. This selects the
channel to configure and control.
2. From the Quick Access Menu select PTZ. (See image at left)
3. From the PTZ Setup screen you can adjust:
• Pan Speed: Adjusts the speed the camera will move.
• Zoom: “+” Zooms in and “-” zooms out
• Focus: “+” and “-” focuses the picture.
• Iris: “+” lets more light in and “-” removes light from the picture. This is useful to correct
backlight issues.
• Directional keys: Left and Right Arrows control the pan; Up and Down arrows control the tilt. Tip:
Hold the mouse button down while clicking on an Arrow Key and drag the cursor away from the
key to initiate the Auto Movement feature. The camera will pan continuously 360 degrees from
the position it is in or tilt up or down to the limit of the camera until you click OK. This is useful if
you want to manually operate the camera without continuously holding or clicking the arrows.
PTZ Camera Setup
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.
