Termination
Protocol
The dome camera must be installed by qualified service personnel. Before installing the
dome camera system, this instruction manual must be read thoroughly and understood
fully. Dome cameras must be set up properly before starting the installation. This
involves properly setting configuration switches. Figure 6 shows the location of these
switches.
Figure 6 - Layout of Switches

VT-PTZ12

2.6 Principle of Termination
There are two general types of wiring scheme for PTZ cameras:
•Daisy-Chain Wiring
•Home-Run Wiring
Each scheme has a different termination method
Daisy-Chain Wiring
Every device that is connected at the end of the communication data line (daisy-chain)
must be terminated by either the DIP switch setting or an appropriate device such as a
termination jumper to prevent potential control signal errors. Usually this means only the
last camera in the chain is terminated.
Home-Run Wiring
Home-run wiring forms a star shape. Each camera connects to one central location on
the star. That central location is usually the junction-box of a keyboard or may also be
the RS-485 input to a DVR. With home-run wiring, none of the cameras should be
terminated.
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 1.2Km or .74 mile.
** Unless communication error, put the position 2, 3 of the S5 in OFF state.
Position 2, 3 should be set as a pair. (Both 2, 3 to ON position or OFF position)

2.7 Dome Camera Address (ID)
Each 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
dome cameras or a DVR, it is recommended that the dome camera ID’s be identical to
the camera port of the DVR.

Cam Port 1 = Dome ID1, Cam Port 2 = Dome ID 2 … Cam Port 16 = Dome ID 16.
If more than 16 dome cameras are installed using two or more DVRs the following
formula is useful to determine the Dome ID: ID =16x (n-1) +m (where n= number of
DVR, m=Camera Port)
Refer to Figures 9 for setting the dome camera address (ID) and protocol selection.
Figure 9 - Setting Dome Camera Address (ID) and Protocol
2.8 Setting Protocols
A Speed Dome camera is capable of negotiating with multiple protocols if the
communication speed is matched (same baud rate i.e., 9600 bps). See Figure 10 for the
appropriate protocol switch settings.
Note: Consult service personnel if a dome camera is installed with a device other than a
recommended Speed Dome Controller.

The dome camera has a built-in RS-485 receiver so that it can be controlled
remotely by an external control device such as a joystick controller or a DVR.
RS-485: Connect the TXA (Tx+) and TXB (Tx-) of the RS485 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.
• Connecting Video output
Figure 2 – Basic installation diagram
• Connecting Alarms
AL1 to 4 (Alarm In)
Magnetic, PIR or other external sensor devices can be used to signal the dome
camera reacting to an event.
See Chapter 3.2 — Program and Operation for configuring alarm input.
GND (Ground)
NOTE: All the connectors marked GND are common.
Connect the ground of the Alarm input and/or alarm output to the GND connector.
NO / NC (Normally Opened or Normally Closed dry contact relay output)
The 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 configuring
alarm output.
• Connecting the Power
Connect AC 24V 40VA power to the dome camera.
Use certified / Listed Class 2 power supply transformer only.
3.0 Mounting the Dome Camera
Once all DIP switches are set properly and all external connections are made, the dome
camera can be mounted.
