On my system , Lorex DVR LHV2008 it has a connector on the back for what should be 2 wires, a yellow Positive , and a green wire , Negative. it is for the RS485 controls for PTZ, my PTZ camera has the same wires coming out of it with the BNC connector and power plug. I can't control the PTZ unless those extra wires are connected. Oh and I had to run a separate cable for those extra wires. hope that helps.

Hi all New to this site found it while surfing for more information about CCTV systems. Unfortunately got a Lorex by Flir system and have been doing some upgrading. Now trying PTZ cameras to cover more of our place. Thinking I should ditch this DVR and maybe go to Viewtron or IDVR Pro. Up to this point the Lorex DVR has been trying and kind of clunky to configure, there has to be better DVRs out there that don't cost a mint to purchase. Anyway hope to learn some stuff here to be better able to take care of my system.
