1. Make sure the encoder is connected with the camera/dome which supports PTZ function. Connect the R+ and

R- terminals of the pan/tilt unit or speed dome to RS-485 D+ and RS-485 D- terminals of the device

respectively.

2. The baud rate, PTZ control and address configured in the RS-485 Settings interface (Configuration >

System > System Settings), as shown below, must be the same with the parameters of the connected pan/tilt

unit or speed dome.
