Hi
I have a Ademco AHDR9 DVDR and have 6 fixed cameras plugged into it they are all working fine.
I am interested in setting up a PTZ dome on the DVDR but unsure on the wire connections for the RS485 on the back of the unit. It has 4 terminals marked up as follows
RX+
RX-
TX+
TX-
The camera I am trying to connect only has RS485 +,-
Do I connect the
RX+ & TX+ of the DVDR to the RS485 + of the camera
RX- & TX- of the DVDR to the RS485 - of the camera
Also would I be able to use a 8 core screened alarm cable to carry the RS485 signal and video between the DVDR and camera. or would I need to run a new cat 5 twised pair cable?????
Any help would be great as I am new to all this.
Cheers
Barry
