I figured i would update this.... Rs- to tr- Rs+ to tr+ Twisted pair must have atleast 5 twists at each end for transducent to take affect (If you know what that means?) Twisted pair module not needed... No 5volts power needed. System is up and working fine! No help whatsoever from vissior and no help from cosuns either. Been three days that i emailed and called them both looking for tech. help and no return help. I had to do trial and error on the hook ups until i found a response from the camera. ( just noted this incase someone does a google and finds this article)

Camera is a vissior 1600. pc dvr 4net dvr card by swann. rs485 to rs232 converter. From the top: I purchased and installed the pc dvr 4net card by swann. I installed 3 sony bullet cams and got those up and working. I am now working on the ptz camera and i am not sure if i even have all the supplies needed to run the device. So far i have the ptz camera hooked up and it is working only as a standalone. I installed the rs485 converter to the pc and proceeded to wire it but i am not sure where the wires go? the camera itself has 2 signal wires for the ptz function labeled as rs + and -. the instructions say to use a twisted pair. (I am a bit confused on the twisted pair) do they mean phone wire? or phone wire with a twisted pair module? the converter has 6 terminals and they are listed as- t/r- t/r+ rxd- rxd+ gnd vcc The instructions are not clear weather i need to supply the converter with 5volts or not? where the ground goes and what are the signal out puts? Can anyone please help? Thanks
