PTZ System Design:

PTZ cameras are programmed and controlled with either a joystick controller or software built into a DVR. The cameras are connected together with a two wire communication cable which is pulled from one camera to another creating a "Daisy Chain" of cameras with a maximum cable distance of 3000 feet.

Each camera is given an address so the system can control each camera independently. This is accomplished by setting dip switches on the camera to correspond to a specific camera number. Camera 1, Camera 2, Camera 3 Camera 4 etc.

The two wire communication cable is then connected to either a joystick controller and/or PC interface. The cameras can be controlled simultaneously with the joystick and the DVR software. Both units perform the same control functions with the exception that the joystick controller is needed for initial setup. Using the DVR software interface you can access the system remotely through the internet or a company's network and control the cameras remotely.

• Communication Wire: Two wire 18 or 22 gauge, twisted, stranded, shielded. Maximum distance 3000' total. No maximum or minimum distance required between cameras.
• Cables Required: Each camera requires: One com. line which can be pulled from camera to camera. One video cable ran from camera to DVR. One power cable which can be up to 200' long. Note: Each camera includes it own power supply with an eight foot cable.
• Setup & Programming: The cameras can be controlled by 2 different options. The first option is to use the EZWatch Pro software and the TRP-C08-8 Com Module. This allows a complete PC and remote controlled operation of 16 PTZ cameras without the need for a physical joystick controller The second option is the AU40E Joystick. This unit provides a small, desktop style joy stick which allows complete control of 16 cameras from 1 location. No PC Interface required.
