Installing the Camera
For both installation methods, double-check that the Mini Speed Dome Camera is firmly in place
to prevent any risk of it falling down.
Electrical Test
Once the camera is mounted, connect the cables. If the camera is connected correctly and
receiving sufficient power, it will automatically execute the Self-Test: the camera will tilt up/down,
pan horizontally, and stop at Preset Point 1. The camera is now ready for normal operation.
RS-485 Wiring
There are two methods for wiring an RS-485 connection:
Serial
and
Aster
. Use either of these
recommended wiring methods to prevent malfunction of RS-485 control.
RS-485 Serial Connection
This method connects speed dome cameras in a sequential manner where the first camera
connects to the second, the second to the third, and so on. A terminal resistance is connected to
the last camera to form a closed loop.
Figure 3.0 Serial connection method
When using a serial connection, you can connect a
maximum
of 32 PTZ dome cameras; if you
need to connect more than 32 cameras, you should use the aster connection method.
