The RMC-180 PTZ Camera Controller is designed to control up to 4 Datavideo
Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) cameras such as the PTC-200/PTC-200W.
The four RJ-45 ports provided on the RMC-180 rear serve to connect PTZ

180 to the RS-422 port located on the PTZ camera’s rear panel. The
communication protocol is VISCA.
Note: Before connecting the camera to these channel ports, please set bit 4
of the camera DIP switch located at the bottom to OFF.
