Before you start:
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 VP-8-V2
AND VP-16-V2 respectively.
2. The baud rate, PTZ control and address configured in the RS-485 Settings interface (Remote Configuration >
Serial Port Settings > 485 Serial Port), as shown in Figure 6.3, must be the same with the parameters of the
connected pan/tilt unit or speed dome.
