Caution!
Bosch recommends that multiple RS-485 connections be arranged as a connected series of
!
point-to-point (multidropped) nodes, as a line or as a bus. It is not recommended to arrange
RS-485 connections as a star, ring, or as a multiple-connected network. Star and ring
topologies may cause signal reflections or excessively low or high termination impedance.
In Pelco Protocol Mode, the camera is configured from the factory for RS-485 operation.

About Setting the Camera Address via FastAddress

The camera offers remote addressing via the feature "FastAddress," which allows you to set or
to change a camera address using the keyboard and on-screen menus. The FastAddress
feature allows you to install all cameras first, then to set the addresses via the control system.
This feature makes it easier to re-address cameras at a later time because you do not need to
go to the physical location of the camera to change the camera's address.
Notice!
FastAddress applies to the optical camera only; it does not apply to the thermal camera.
Notice!
You do not need to set a camera address if using Bilinx communication.
FastAddress is stored in nonvolatile memory and does not change if the power is turned off
or if the default settings are restored.
