RS-485 communication
RS-485 communication is used to control a PTZ camera. Standalone DVRs, PC-based DVRs,
keyboard joystick PTZ controllers, video servers, and a variety of other CCTV equipment usually have
an RS-485 interface (push terminals, D-Sub connector, etc.) for PTZ control. The CCTV equipment
transmits control signals while the PTZ camera receives the signals and performs the function
required.
RS-485 utilizes two wires; a ‘+’ wire and a ‘–’ wire. These two wires may also be label or
reference as:
•+ and –
•D+ and D-
•A+ and B-
•RS485+ and RS485-
To make the physical connection from the controlling device (DVR, keyboard controller, etc.) to
the PTZ, simply connect the RS485 ‘-’ from the controlling device to the RS485 ‘-’ on the PTZ. Do the
same for the RS485 ‘+’. Any type of wire can be used for the connection, but 0.56mm (24AWG)
twisted pair is recommended.

Baud Rate is the data transmission rate in bps (bits per second). Both the controlling device and
PTZ must use the same baud rate. Most PTZ camera and devices default to a baud rate of 2400 bps.
The maximum theoretical transmitting distances of RS-485 are below using 0.56mm (24AWG)
twisted pair cable.
Baud Rate Maximum Distance
2400 bps 1800m
4800 bps 1200m
9600 bps 800m
If thinner cables are used or the dome is installed in an environment with strong electromagnetic
interference or many PTZs are used on the same line, the maximum distance will be decreased.
For multiple PTZ installs, RS485 standards require a daisy-chain connection between the
equipment. Up to 32 devices, including the controller can be daisy-chained. A 120 Ω termination
must be made on the first and last device in the chain. Most controllers are already terminated. To
terminate the last PTZ in line, simply locate the 120 Ωtermination resistor jumper on the PTZ’s
protocol PCB and set the jumper to pins 1 & 2. By default, the PTZ is not terminated, thus having
the pins on 2 & 3. For Star Configurations, see the next page.
Termination Jumper Location.

Multiple PTZ (cont.)
Some circumstances require the use of a star configuration. The termination resistors must be set on the
two devices that are the farthest distances away from each other, in this case #1 and #15 as seen below.
As the star configuration does not conform to the RS485 standards, problems such as signal reflection
and lower anti-interference performance arise when the cable runs are long. In addition, the reliability of
control signals are decreased which may cause the PTZ to respond intermittently, not respond at all, or
operate a single command continuously without ever stopping. In these circumstances, the factory
recommends the use of an RS485 distributor (DR-HB16). The distributor can change the star
configuration connection to the mode of connection stipulated in the RS485 standards. With the
distributor, reliable data transmission can be received.

PTZ Addressing and Communication Protocol
Before installing PTZs, you must understand 3 things:
-PTZ Camera ID
-PTZ Protocol
-PTZ Baud Rate
PTZ Camera ID - Each PTZ camera in an install must have a unique ID number assigned. Most
PTZs default to ID#1. The PTZ controller must be told what PTZ camera to
control, and this ID number is called to control the corresponding camera. The
PTZ ID number can be set to any number 1 – 1023.
PTZ Protocol - All PTZ controllers and cameras need to support a common communication
language in order to send/receive control commands. This language is called a
protocol. The protocol set in the PTZ camera must match the protocol set in the
controller. Below is a list of commonly supported protocols.
•Pelco-D
•Pelco-P
•Santachi
•Hunda600
•Longcomity
PTZ Baud Rate - Baud Rate is the data transmission rate in bps (bits per second). Both the
controlling device and PTZ must use the same baud rate. Most PTZ cameras and
devices default to a baud rate of 2400 bps.

RS-485 communication
RS-485 communication is used to control the camera. RS-485 utilizes two wires, + and -. Protocol,
Baud rate and Camera Address are also required and are set using 2 sets of Dip Switch sets under the
BLACK camera cover inside the PTZ housing (see page 12). Each camera connected to the PTZ
controller must have a unique address.

SW 1 : Camera Address Settings (continued)
When using more than 1 RS-485 device each unit must be given a unique address. Refer to the
chart on the previous page for the value of each dip switch. For each dip switch that is ON the
value/values are added together, the total is the address of that unit.
For Example:
For an address of 1:
Dip switch #1 (value = 1) will be ON all others OFF
For an address of 5:
Dip switch #1 (value = 1) & #3 (value = 4) will be ON all others OFF
For an address of 157:
Dip Switch #1 (value = 1), #3 (value = 4), #4 (value = 8), #5 (value = 16), #8 (value =
128) will be ON all others OFF
