note
To utilize an RS-485 connection, you will need an unterminated two-conductor cable
- Connect the positive (red) wire to the camera’s positive phoenix connector port (left).
- Connect the negative (black) wire to the camera’s negative phoenix connector port (right).
- Connect the positive and negative wires to the positive and negative ports on your joystick
controller.
- To connect multiple cameras, you have the option to connect via daisy-chain or home run.
- In either method, multiple wires will be connected to a single phoenix connector port
