1080p Camera With WDR, IR Cut-O Filter & RS485 Control

This high performance HD camera has a built-in autofocus & Zoom lens to allow fast locating and capturing of an event - making it great for evidence purposes!

The CAM300 is a great option where high de nition recordings are required along with operator control to zoom into an event as it happens. The camera can be controlled using RS485 and is compatible with the common Pelco D & P protocols so it can easily be controlled using most PTZ keypads.

The real beauty of the auto-focus lens is that the camera will autofocus as a person or object approaches the camera or gets further away and there is no awkward focussing on installation either.

The CAM300 also features a mechanical IR cut-o  lter which is in place during the day and removed at night ensuring the camera always captures the best possible images.

Powering The Camera

The CAM300 requires a regulated 12V DC power supply providing a minimum of 250mA. You should always allow additional headroom to account for any extra loads such as auto iris lenses, heater kits or IR LEDs. As a rule of thumb you should add 30% on top of the minimum current consumption of the camera. Taking this into account we

recommend a regulated 12V DC PSU providing no less than 350mA.

The terminal connections of the CAM300 are polarity sensitive so take time to ensure that your positive and negative connections are correct. Incorrectly connecting the power may damage the camera.

Connecting RS485 Data Cables

The CAM300 has two screw terminals for connecting RS485 data cables. An RS485 connection allows you to access and con gure the camera’s OSD menu as well as adjusting the zoom and focus.

As with the terminals for connecting the power, the terminals for connecting the RS485 data are polarity sensitive. The RS485 data cables must be connected correctly to enable RS485 control. 485A is the positive connection and 485B is the negative connection.

Termination Resistor

The CAM300 has a built-in 120Ω termination resistor. This may need to be turned on if you are experiencing communication issues.

When linking the RS485 connections of multiple cameras the CAM300 is treated as a PTZ. As with PTZs there are two methods for linking RS485 Connections.

The  rst method is the daisy chain method. When cameras are linked in this way the last

camera in the RS485 chain must have its termination resistor enabled as shown below.

The second method is the star method. When linking cameras in this way the two

furthest cameras must have their termination resistors enabled as shown below.
