TruVision DVR 12 User Manual 15

Connecting a KTD-405 keypad and dome

camera to the recorder

Use the input/output box that is supplied with the keypad to connect the KTD-405

keypad to the recorder. See Appendix D “KTD-405 keypad” on page 133 for

more information on wiring and using the KTD-405 keypad.

As the KTD-405 keypad uses full duplex data communication, you cannot

connect the both keypad and a dome camera directly to the recorder from the

RS-485 port as this could cause problems on the bus. If both devices are

required, it is recommended that you use the keypad’s RS-422 connection to

connect the dome camera and the keypad’s RS-485 connection to connect the

recorder. See Figure 5 as well as Table 4 and Table 5 below.

Note: These connections only work with UTC PTZ protocols (see Appendix B on

page 130). If you are using another manufacturer’s PTZ protocol, it is not

possible to connect both a keypad and dome camera to the recorder.
