Mechanical PTZ Operation (When camera is mounted on an external pan/tilt scan-

ner)

If you have your camera mounted and connected to an external pan/tilt head via the

RS485 control lines, your can configure the Activated mode as “Mechanical�” You may

then set identical conguration both on your camera and the pan/tilt scanner. Refer to the

terminal block pin denitions on page 6 for RS485 connections.

Select the PTZ camera checkbox to open PTZ-related settings� The most widely used

RS485 protocol is Pelco-D� The camera translates IP-based PTZ commands into RS485

commands and sends them to an external pan/tilt scanner that then converts them to

motor movements� Doing so, the camera can pan or tilt to the desired view area�

As there are many pan/tilt heads or scanners on the market, you should test the

conguration with RS485 control connections when deploying the camera.

VIVOTEK provides five PTZ drivers including, DynaDome/SmartDOME, Lilin PIH-7x00,

Pelco D, Pelco P, and Samsung scc643 protocols� If none of these is supported by your

PTZ scanner, please select Custom camera (scanner)� Please refer to the documentation

of your PTZ scanner to determine the Camera ID, PTZ driver, and port settings� The

camera ID is required if you connect multiple cameras on an RS485 data bus� After you

enable the settings by clicking on the Save button, the Mechanical PTZ panel will be

available on the home page�
