Add extra cameras including a PTZ to an existing system using the RG59 cabling already installed. Perfect if you don’t
have access to run any more cables even data cables underground. The clever electronics of the Mule4 allow it to carry
the RS485 data along the same RG59 co-ax cable enabling the operator to monitor and control the system from a
different location. Figure 7 shows a diagram of how mode 2 is configured.
