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.
The camera is equipped with a limited WebGUI to perform a firmware upgrade. The camera can be atta-
ched directly to a PC with standard network patch cable or to a network switch. For further information, see
chapter Operation section WebGUI.

When connecting multiple cameras through RS-232, use daisy chaining network architecture. Max cable
length for RS-232 is 10-15m.
