The following sections will describe basic connections in a surveillance system.
4.1
Connecting RS-485 Cables
To operate dome cameras, a control keyboard (or other control device, e.g. DVR)
is needed to communicate all devices via RS-485 interface. The CAT 5
(Shielded twisted pairs) cables are recommended for RS-485 communication;
maximum cable length for over 24-gauge wire is 4000 feet (1219 meters). If the
total cable length is over 4000 feet, using a repeater to enlarge the signals is
recommended.
Terminal block is designed for long distance installation. Users can construct a
RS-485 network through the terminal block located on the rear panel of the
control keyboard. Detailed pin definition can be found on the terminal block.
4.2
RJ-11 (6P6C) Connector Definition
RJ-11 jack is designed for demo and testing purpose, and only supports
half-duplex communication. Users could construct a RS-485 network through pin
4 and pin 5. Refer to the table below for pin definition.
