ZT-156 PTZ Camera IP Controller
Product Information:
Zenty is a professional A/V solution provider that offers a
controller for PTZ cameras. The controller supports various control
modes and protocols, including IP VISCA, ONVIF, RS422, RS232,
VISCA, ONVIF, and PELCO.
The controller is equipped with an Ethernet port and a
four-dimensional joystick for easy control of camera movements. It
also features a lead LCD display and button sound prompts.
The controller and PTZ camera must be connected to the same LAN,
and their IP addresses must be in the same segment. The default
setting for the IP controller is to obtain the IP address
automatically.
The product is powered by an external power supply and has low
power consumption. It operates within a specified temperature range
and comes in compact dimensions.
Product Usage Instructions:
To bind CAM NUM with the entered IP and port information, press
the CAM button when adding a device.
To enter a letter C, press the number key 2 three times
continuously in the input interface.
To clear the input information, move the joystick leftward.
In IP VISCA and ONVIF mode, the IP address displayed on the
screen represents either the local IP address of the controller or
the IP address of the connected device, depending on the displayed
prompts.
There are four control modes available: IP VISCA, ONVIF, RS422,
and RS232. Choose the appropriate mode based on your
requirements.
To switch between settings 1 and 2, and 2 and 3, move the
joystick up and down. To turn the button sound prompts on or off,
move the joystick left and right. Confirm with the Enter
button.
To input a custom name and VISCA command, follow the steps:
Input custom name -> Enter -> Input VISCA command. For
example, if the command is 8101040702FF, input 01040702 (0 cannot
be omitted).
To delete a saved device, use the joystick to navigate through
the devices and their information. Move the joystick leftwards to
select the IP and CAM NUM information, then press Enter to delete
the device.
To set the baud rate for a certain address code, follow these
steps: Move the joystick up, down, left, and right to switch
addresses (1-7) -> Enter -> Move the joystick left and right
to switch baud rate -> Enter.
For example, if you want to set the baud rate for address 1 as
9600, select address 1, press Enter, select baud rate 9600, then
press Enter.
To set the baud rate and protocol for a certain address code,
follow these steps: Move the joystick up, down, left, and right to
switch addresses (1-255) -> Enter -> Move the joystick left
and right to choose protocols -> Enter – > Move the joystick
left and right to switch baud rate -> Enter.
For example, if you want to set the baud rate for address 1 as
9600 and the protocol as PELCO-D, select address 1, press Enter,
select protocol PELCO-D, press Enter, select baud rate 9600, then
press Enter.

· What is the function of CAM NUM when adding a network device?
CAM NUM will be associated and bound with the currently entered IP and port information. It will quickly switch to the CAM NUM bound device when adding a device with CAM button.
· How to enter English letters when setting the username, password, and custom keys of F1/F2?
For example: to enter letter C, simply press the number key “2” three times continuously in the input interface.
· How the enter the IP address? The camera controller doesn’t have “.” button, so enter the IP address with four segments: Take IP address 192.168.0.1 for example, when finished inputting 192 and 168, after inputting 0, move the joystick rightward to switch to the next segment input.
· How to clear in input mode?
Move the joystick leftward to clear the input information.
· The home page of each mode refers to the displayed page when controller initialization is complete.
In IP VISCA and ONVIF mode, if you see the prompts of “Visca!” and “Onvif!”, the IP address displayed on the screen is the local IP address of the controller. While the prompts of “Visca:” and “Onvif:” shown on the page, the IP address displayed on the screen belongs to the connected device.
There are four control modes: Two IP control modes (IP VISCA and ONVIF); Two analog control modes (RS422 and RS232)
There are three control protocols: VISCA, ONVIF, and PELCO.

The controller and PTZ camera must be connected to the same LAN, and the IP addresses must be at the same segment. For example: 192.168.1.123 is at the same segment with 192.168.1.111 192.168.1.123 is not at the same segment with 192.168.0.125 The default setting for IP controller is obtaining IP address automatically.
