Hello, you are looking at a PTZ camera one of the forum members are selling. I'm sure he will have much more detailed information.

 

I'm not going to comment on the camera since I don't want to interfere with the sales. But the wiring is quite simple.

 

If you have a keyboard controller, then it should have a TX+ and TX-, whereas the RX+ and RX- should be present on the camera. You can use a CAT5e or 18/2 cable to connect and transmit the commands.

 

If you're going to connect the controller to the DVR and then to the PTZ, you may first want to verify that your controller is capable of controlling your DVR as well.

 

You may want to PM TOMCCTV for further details.
