2x PTZ Cameras

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I have a DVR8-4100 Swann DVR with on RJ45 port on the back. Can I add 2x PTZ cameras to this with it only having one of those ports?

 

Thanks,

 

Phil

Its seems like you are thinking of adding 2 IP ptz cameras using the ethernet port? that wont work. Your dvr is analog. You need an analog ptz or better yet upgrade your dvr to a hybrid.

If you are referring to the RS-485 port the answer is yes. Each camera gets addressed at the camera and you just put the wires for both in your RS-485 port. Make sure you match your settings int he DVR and on the camera. If your data speeds are not the same it will either act crazy or not work at all.
