Setting the RS485 Dome Camera Address (ID)
Each Dome Camera must have a unique address (ID). When installing multiple Network Dome
Cameras using a multiplexer, it is suggested that the Network Dome Camera address match the
multiplexer port number.
If you want to set the address more than 999, you should contact the service provider.
Refer to ‘Dome Configuration - RS485’ section for detailed information.
Setting the RS485 Dome Protocol
Refer to ‘Dome Configuration - RS485’ section for detailed information.
Connections
Connecting to the RS485
The Network Dome Camera can be controlled remotely by an external device or control system,
such as a control keyboard, using RS485 half-duplex serial communications signals. Connect
Marked Rx+, Rx- to Tx+ and Tx- of the RS485 control system.
Connecting Alarms
AL1 (Alarm In)
You can use external devices to signal the Network Dome Camera to react on events. Mechanical
or electrical switches can be wired to the AL (Alarm In) and GND (Ground) connectors.
GND(Ground)
Connect the ground side of the Alarm input and/or alarm output to the GND connector.
NC (NO) (Normal Close or Normal Open: Alarm Out)
The Network Dome Camera can activate external devices such as buzzers or lights. Connect the
device to the NC (NO) (Alarm Out) and COM (Common) connectors.

VK2-1080XPTZ User Manual V1.0 16
Connecting the Network
The Network Dome Camera supports the operation through the network. Therefore, it is necessary
to connect a standard RJ-45 cable to it. Generally a cross cable is used for directly connection to
PC, while a direct cable is used for connection to a hub.
Connecting the Power
Connect power of 12VDC or 24VAC 1.5A for the camera.When using a 12VDC adapter,
connect the positive (+) pole to the ‘+’ position and
the negative (-) pole to the ‘-’ position.
Use satisfy clause 2.5 of IEC60950-1/UL60950-1 or Certified/Listed Class 2 power source
only.
- Be careful not to reverse the polarity when you connect the power cable.
- You can also use a router featuring PoE (Power over Ethernet) to supply power to the
camera.
- If PoE and 12VDC are both applied, this camera will get supplied with power from PoE.
- 24VAC is recommended to use for the camera power for stable operation with heater kit.
If using PoE, the heater will not operate at all.
2.4 Setting the cameras IP address
IP Assignment
When a camera is first connected to the network it has no IP address. So, it is necessary to
allocate an IP address to the device with the “Smart Manager” utility on the CD.
