Hi guys Im trying to install a used pelco spectra but im trying to work out how to wire its ptz to my dvrs rs485 Its been wired for ptz before in its previous install but from what i can see the existing wiring (basically at cat 5) only seems to go into the alarms , ground and relays com ports nothing as far as i can see for the ptz control? Im i right in saying its ptz control goes into the rx + and - or tx + and - as nothing seems to have been wired into these in its previous install? CONNECTIONS AVAILABLE ARE Alarms 1 through to 7 Relays - GND COM NC AUX AND GND RX+ AND RX- TX + AND TX - I also have loads of dip switches but i come to those later after ive worked out where to wire the two rs485 wires to.

To add ive tried changing the addres to 128 and 129 and tried different Pelco protocols but that didn't seem to help .

Ok ive got the camera running but the Ptz is just wandering around of its own accord I don't seem to have any control over it . Here's the settings of the dvr and switches does anyone know where I'm going wrong ? Thanks

Hi ok thank you for that should be straightforwards enough then , i just need to figure out the dip switch configuration then. I must admit i cant really make sense of the sticker its a bit over my head but some of the dip switches are on from the previous install clearly. Can anyone possibly advise which dipswitches to have set for just a basic ptz install to a cenos newwork dvr recorder by rs485 + and - . thanks hoping to get job finished friday
