EasyTrak™ PTZ dome camera must be installed by a qualied service personnel
only.
Before installing this camera system, Instruction Manual must be read thoroughly
and fully understood. This setup procedure involves proper setting of the congu-
ration switches indicated below.

2.1.7 Principle of Termination
Every device that is connected at the end of the communication data line must be
terminated by either the DIP switch setting or an appropriate device such as a termination
jumper to prevent potential control signal errors.
See Figure.6 for termination switch settings and Figure.7 for examples of devices requiring
termination. Note: Total length of the cable for communication should not exceed 1.2 km
or .74 miles.

2.1.8 EasyTrak™ PTZ Dome Camera Address (ID)
Each EasyTrak™ PTZ dome camera must have a unique address (ID). Identical IDs on the
same line may damage the control circuit caused by an electrical short. When installing
multiple cameras or a DVR, it is recommended that cameras ID’s be indentical
to the camera port of the DVR.
Cam Port 1 = Dome ID 1, Cam Port 2 = Dome ID 2 ... Cam Port 16 = Dome ID 16.
If more than 16 PTZ cameras are installed using two or more DVRs the following formula
is usedful to determine the Dome ID: ID = 16x (n-1) +m (Where n = number of DVR, m =
Camera Port)
Refer to Figure.9 for setting the EasyTrak™ PTZ dome camera address (ID) and
protocol selection.

EasyTrak™ PTZ dome camera is capable of supporting multiple protocols if the com-
munication speed is matched (same baud rate i.e., 9600 bps). All EasyTrak™ PTZ dome
camera comes with ‘Auto Detection’ as factory default for optimal performance.
Note: Consult service personnel if the PTZ dome camera is installed with a device other
than a recommended PTZ camera controller.

2. Installation and Conguration
2.2.0 Connections
• How to Connect to RS-485
• Connecting the Video Output
• Connecting the Alarms
The EasyTrak™ PTZ dome camera has built-in RS-485 receiver so that it can be
controlled remotely by an external control device such as a Controller Keyboard or
a DVR.
RS-485: Connect the TXA (Tx+) and TXB (Tx-) of the RS-485 control devices (KBD,
DVR...) to TRX+, TRX- of the dome camera.
RS-485 does not allow for a star connection layout. A Splitter is required if a star
connection layout is desired. RS-485 guarantees 1.2 Km of data line routing. A
Repeater is recommended to extend over 1.2 Km.
Refer to Figure.2 - Basic Installation Diagram
AL1 to 8 (Alarm In)
Magnetic, PIR or other external sensor devices can be used to signal the PTZ
camera reacting to an event. Refer to Chapter 3.2 - Program and Operation for
conguring alarm input.
GND (Ground)
Note: All the connectors marked GND are common.
Connect the ground of the Alarm input and(or) the Alarm Output to the GND con-
nector.

2. Installation and Conguration
2.2.0 Connections (Continued)
• NO / NC (Normally Opened or Normally Closed dry contact relay output)
• Connecting the Power
EasyTrak™ PTZ dome camera can activate external devices such as buzzers or
lights using dry contact relays. Connect the device to the NO (NC) (Alarm Out) and
COM (Common) connectors. See Chapter 3 - Program and Operation for congur-
ing alarm output.
Connect the AC 24V 40VA power to the camera.
Use certied / Listed Class 2 power supply transformer only.
