rements, turn on the power switch.
Power On
Pan-Tilt will rotate to the maximum position of top right after the camera started, then it returns to the
center, the process of initialization is finished. The camera will show its current IR-channel setting and IP
Address on the osd (Note: If the position preset 0 has been stored, the position preset 0 will be called after

When connecting multiple cameras through RS-232, use daisy chaining network architecture. Max cable
length for RS-232 is 10-15m.
To connect multiple cameras by RS485, the cameras are attached to a 2-wire twisted pair bus (max length
1200m) that is terminated at both ends with a 120 Ω impedance resistor. The maximum distance from the bus to
the camera or controller is 5m.
