Thank you for purchasing this product. Before installing the
camera, please read this instruction manual carefully to ensure
proper usage.
1. Safety Precautions
Take care when installing the camera. Do not connect
power unless the camera’s gimbal is free to turn normally.
After initial configuration, do not apply power to the
camera until the installation is complete.
Wiring: Use appropriate cables and wires for video,
power, and RS-485 connections.
Electrical Safety: The camera’s installation must be in
accordance with all applicable electrical codes and
ordinances.
Cleaning: Use only water and a soft, clean cloth to clean
the camera’s transparent dome, taking care not to scratch
it. Use only a soft cloth, water, and a mild detergent to
clean the camera’s painted metal enclosure and mounting
bracket.
Ensure that the camera’s transparent dome is tightened
securely before use. Do not allow any liquid or foreign material
into the body of the camera, as doing so may cause irreparable
damage.
Do not operate the camera beyond the specified temperature

3
range of -13°F (-25° C) to +122°F (+50°C). Only operate the
camera in environments with non-condensing humidity levels
less than 90%.
Do not install the camera near the air outlet of an air conditioner
or heater, or in any environment with rapid temperature
fluctuations.
Do not install the camera in any environment where the
humidity might change rapidly, or in an environment with
excessive smoke or dust.
Avoid pointing the camera’s lens directly at any intense source
of light, such as the sun, as sensor damage may result.
2. Description
The indoor pan/tilt camera uses a highly sensitive 1/3” CCD color
image sensor that provides long life and high reliability and is not
subject to distortion from magnetic fields.
This camera is easy to install and is an excellent choice for your CCTV
system.
3. Features
1/3” CCD color image sensor.
Auto White Balance.
Day Mode / Night Mode operation (Color image when adequate
light is present, Black and White image in low light conditions)
Precise stepper motor controlled pan/tilt mechanism allows remote
operation, using an RS-485 signal, from a DVR or a joystick
keyboard controller.
Continuous horizontal 360° panning rotation (left/right) and 90° tilt
angle (up/down) motion.
Settable RS-485 address (ID) allows additional cameras to use the
same RS-485 wiring.

4

Settable baud rate.
Adjustable motor speed.
212 presets (saved horizontal and tilt angle views) can be saved
and retrieved.
Auto Tour - The camera can automatically tour through any of 8
different ordered lists, each containing as many as16 presets.

12. 5. RS-485 Address, Protocol, and Baud Rate Setting.
Address (ID) setting:
Set DIP switches 1 (least significant bit) through 8 (most significant
bit) to set the RS-485 address of the camera. The address can be
set from 0 through 255, and must be matched to the RS-485
address (often called the “ID”) in use by the controlling DVR or
joystick keyboard. Once set, the camera’s address does not need
to be changed. If more than one RS-485 device is connected using
the same RS-485 wiring, make sure that each device has a different
address.
A switch in the “up” (or “ON”) position is set to 1.
A switch in the “down” (or “OFF”) position is set to 0.
Note that some DVRs or joystick keyboards may not support an
address of 0 (00000000 on DIP switches).
The address is interpreted by the camera as reversed binary, such
that address 1 would be set as 10000000, and address 128 would
be set as 00000001. The first several RS-485 addresses are as
follows:
DIP Switch

Baud rate setting:
Set DIP switches 9 and 10 to set the RS-485 baud rate of the
camera. The baud rate can be set to 2400, 4800, 9600, or 19200
bps. Make sure that the baud rate of the camera matches the
baud rate of the controlling DVR or joystick keyboard.
A switch in the “up” position (“ON”) is set to 1.
A switch in the “down” position (“OFF”) is set to 0.

NOTE: The camera must be powered down and then
powered up to enable any changes made to the DIP
switch settings.
Protocol setting:
No camera settings are needed, as the camera will automatically
detect Pelco-D or Pelco-P protocols. Make sure that the controlling
DVR or joystick keyboard has been set to use only Pelco-D or
Pelco-P as the RS-485 protocol.
If your DVR or joystick keyboard has additional RS-485 settings,
make them match the following:
Data Bit: 8 Stop Bit: 1 Parity: NONE

6. Function Numbers
Function Set/Call (Store/Retrieve):
A preset point (“Preset”) is a memorized pan/tilt camera position.
Many presets can be set (created) and then called (retrieved) easily
to avoid having to use a mouse or joystick to move the camera
precisely to a desired view.
The camera supports a maximum of 212 presets.
The method to set and call presets will depend on the method of
camera control (for example, REVO Remote Pro on a PC, REVO
Mobile on a mobile device, direct DVR control or control via a
joystick keyboard.) Refer to the user’s documentation for the
controlling device. In general, the preset number (which is stored in
the camera) and the function (set or call) will be supplied to the
camera using the controlling device.
To set (create) a preset position, first move the camera’s pan axis
and tilt axis to the desired view, then use the controller’s preset “set”
command and the desired preset number. The view will be stored in
the camera.
To call (view) a preset position, use the controller’s preset “call”
command and the desired preset number to tell the camera to move
to the previously stored view.
For example, if the REVO Mini Keyboard is being used to control the
camera, “set” and “call” can be performed by doing the following:
A “set” command can be made by inputting the desired function
number on the keyboard, then pressing the “PRESET” button.
A “call” command can be made by inputting the desired function
number on the keyboard, then pressing and holding the “SHIFT”
button, then pressing the “PRESET” button, and then releasing
both buttons at the same time.
NOTE: Not all function numbers are used to store preset
(camera view) positions. Some function numbers are used for
special camera functions. Please refer to the following chart.

7. Pan/Tilt Dome Camera Installation
Unscrew the dome camera’s transparent dome. Set the DIP
switches for the desired address (ID) and baud rate. Use an
RS-485 DVR or joystick keyboard to verify the camera’s
operation. When proper RS-485 operation has been verified,
reattach the dome, securing it tightly.
Determine the camera’s location, and mark the location of the
mounting screw holes.
Drill holes in the mounting surface, and affix the camera using the
supplied screws and plastic anchors. The BNC video cable can go
straight through an additional, larger hole drilled into the mounting
surface, or against the mounting surface using the slot at the bottom
of the camera’s base.

11
Connect the camera’s BNC video cable and RS-485 wiring to your DVR
and (optional) joystick keyboard.
Ensure that the camera’s RS-485 “+” wire is connected to the
controlling device’s “+” or “A” connection.
Also ensure that the RS-485 “-” wire is connected to the controlling
device’s “-” or “B” connection.
Supply 12VDC to the camera using the 2.1mm power connector.
