myplace46 0 Posted November 23, 2011 HI, First let me introduce myself. I'm John, and I'm a newbie where CCTV is concerned. I'm hoping this is the correct place to post question. I have a stand alone DVR that supports PTZ cameras in Pelco-P and Pelco-D mode. I have a TOSHIBA IK-DP30A PTZ CAMERA that supports Pelco-P or D mode. and I want to connect them together. Here's the problem... the owner's manual for my Chinese brand DVR doesn't make a lot of sense to begin with and there isn't any explanation on hooking up the wires. On my DVR, the post for connection to the PTZ are labeled A-B and com ground. the connections on the camera are labeled TX+, TX-, and RX+, RX-. Can anyone tel me how to hook these two beast together?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Umbru 0 Posted December 14, 2011 If that blows your mind then you should see when you have five or six PTZs all hooked up in serial off that same cable pair Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
