Setting Camera Addresses for Large Systems

Each camera requires a unique camera address so that the control device knows which camera is
at your back door and which camera is monitoring your driveway. Think of the camera address as
a telephone number. In order for the video system to work with multiple cameras, it has to know
which one is which. In the User manual, instructions were provided for setting up to 8 cameras.
However, the camera is capable of expansion up to 255 cameras. This will require the use of
multiplexers. When installing multiple dome cameras using a multiplexer, it is suggested that the
dome camera address match the multiplexer port number.

Example: Port 1 = Dome 1, Port 2 = Dome 2 … Port 16 = Dome 16. If more than 16 dome
cameras are installed using two or more multiplexers, the ID of the dome camera should be ID of
MUX x No. of camera IN. (e.g. multiplexer ID= n, Camera IN= m then ID of Dome =16x(n-1)+m )

DIP switch S1is used to set the camera address. Apply the settings for each camera in your video
system as shown in the following table.

NOTE

This is an important step. If you do not set the camera addresses correctly, there will be
communication errors.
