Important:
•
Before setting up the camera for a configuration where the camera's RS485 data port is used for camera control
(pan, tilt, etc.) by the system controller, the camera's DIP switches must be configured to specify the unit
number and communication parameters.
If DIP switch setting is not performed, the system controller control will not be possible and camera setup will
have to be performed again. Be sure to check the DIP switch settings before setting up the camera.
In a configuration where the camera's RS485 data port is used for camera control (pan, tilt, etc.) by the system
controller, the camera's DIP switches must be configured to specify the unit number and communication parameters.
The camera mounting base needs to be removed to access the DIP switches. See steps 1 and 2 on page 19 for
information about how to remove the camera mounting base.
