3.9.5 RS485 Local Control using Keyboard Protocols
The protocols built into a Vi-K2A joystick keyboard can be used to control PTZ domes connected to
the Vi-R4000. Connect the keyboard to the KBD1 port on the DVR and set up the keyboard menu
such that each PTZ camera is assigend to Domes-1 or Domes-2 output and that each of these outputs
is assigned the required RS485 protocol. Set the Dome o/p to “DVR” to tell the keyboard that the
domes are to be connected to the DVR (rather than the keyboard). Note that Domes-1 output on the
keyboard relates to RS485 outputs 1 &2 on the DVR and Domes-2 output on the keyboard relates to
RS485 outputs 3 & 4 on the DVR.
3.9.6 RS485 Dome Control via Menu
If you want to control PTZ domes using mouse control:
Protocol and baud rate is set in the menu to suit the dome(s).
Menu>Camera>PTZ
Select PTZ mode either using pressing the PTZ key or right-clicking the mouse on a live camera
image and pressing the PTZ icon.The dome may now be controlled by the mouse.
3.9.7 RS485 Dome Control via Ethernet
If you want to control PTZ domes via a network, whether locally or via broadband, this is achieved
using mouse control as above except from the remote viewing software.
