I. Important Safeguards
1. All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the units is operated.
2. Power supply for HD IR PTZ Camera：DC12V. The power input power supply indicated on the
base of PTZ or other related marking label.
3. During the course of transportation, storage and installation, the product should be avoided
from incorrect operations such as heavy pressing, strong vibration etc., which can cause damage
of product as there are sophisticated optical and electronic devices inside the machine.
4. Do not attempt to disassemble the camera. In order to prevent electric shock, do not remove
screws or covers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
5. Always follow all electrical standards for safety when it is in operation. Adopt the particular
power supply which is provided with the unit. RS-485 and video signal should keep enough
distance with high voltage equipments and cables when they are in transmission. Precautions
for anti-lightning and anti-surging should be taken if necessary.
6. Do not operate it in case temperature, humidity and power supply are beyond the limited
stipulations.
7. Do not let the camera aim at the sun or the object with extreme light whatsoever it is switched
on or not. Do not let the camera aim at or monitor bright and standstill object for a long time.
8. Do not use aggressive detergent to clean the main body of the camera. Wipe dirt with dry cloth.
If needed, mild detergent can be used suitably.
9. Operate the intelligent PTZ camera with great care to avoid shock or vibration. It operate
incorrectly, the PTZ could be damaged.
10. Please ensure the installation position with enough endurance when you install the intelligent
IR High speed PTZ camera.
11. If necessary, use a commercial lens cleaning paper to clear the lens windows. Gently wipe the
lens window until clean..
II. Description of Functions

2.Setup of Coding Switch of PTZ Camera .As diagram 1 shows， SW1 is used to set address of
the PTZ camera from 1 – 255. The coding switches from DIP-8 to DIP-1 are equivalent to a 8-bit
binary digital. DIP-8 is MSB while DIP-1 is LSB. The state “ON” of each bit means 1 while
“OFF” means 0. Following table shows states of coding switches of some addresses.

For example：
3. Setup of the Protocol and the Default Baud Rate. As figure 1shows, SW2 is used to set the
protocol of communication and the baud rate used by the PTZ camera. DIP-4 to DIP-1 of SW2
is used to select protocols.

4. Setup of the Baud Rate of Communication. As shown in Figure 1, SW2 is used to set the
protocol of communication and the baud rate used by the PTZ camera. DIP-6 and DIP-5 of SW2
are used to select the baud rate of communication and 4 different baud rates can be selected in
maximum. If the controller adopts non-standard baud rate, you can adjust it to be identical with
that of the main machine as per the following table.
Baud Rate of Communication Setup of Baud

5. Selection of the Terminal Resistor of the PTZ Camera. As shown in Figure 1, SW1is the
select switch of the 120 Ω terminal resistors on the bus RS485, on which only one terminal
resistor of the dome camera at the farthest end can be connected, while the terminal resistors of
other devices should be opened. Dip 10 turns ON of SW1,it means 120 Ω resistor turns ON; Dip
10 turns OFF of SW1.it means 120 Ω resistor turns OFF.
