Product Connection Diagram

Network Connection

Network Mode: Connection diagram of controlling PTZ camera via VISCA, NDI, ONVIF.

Connect the camera and joystick controller in the same LAN and ensure their IP address in the same network segment, such as 192.168.1.123 and 192.168.1.111 belong to the same network segment, while 192.168.1.123 and 192.168.0.125 do not belong to the same network segment, so you need to modify the joystick controller or the ptz camera IP address. The joystick controller gets its IP address dynamically.

RS485 Connection

• Analog Mode : Connection diagram of controlling PTZ camera Via RS485
  

• RS-485 Daisy-Chain Connection
  

• RS-485 Home-Run Connection
  

RS485 Control Output: RS485+ of PTZ camera connects to Ta of RS422 on the joystick controller and RS485 – of PTZ camera connects to Tb of RS422 on the Joystick controller.

RS232 Connection

The first pin RXD of joystick controller (10pin terminal) connects to the Input interface TXD of camera, the second pin TXD of joystick controller connects to RXD of camera, the third pin of joystick controller connects to GND of camera (also can use the standard RS232 interface (DBO) of joystick controller to connect the camera.)

Connection Between Cameras

Use the RS485 bus cascade connection method. The output of camera #1 connects to the input of camera #2 and the output of camera #2 connects to the input of camera #3 and so on as shown in the diagram below:
