of electrical instruments could be dangerous (hospitals, gas stations etc.).

The tester should be kept dry. Dust and liquid should be avoided.

Like any instrument, treat carefully. Avoid dropping .

Dont leave the tester alone when charging. If the battery is hot, the tester should be
disconnected from the electric source. The tester should not be charged for more than 8 hours.

Dont use the tester where the humidity is high. Once the tester is damp, power off immediately
and move it away from other connected cables.

The tester should not be used in the environment with the flammable gas.

Do not disassemble the instrument, since no component inside can be repaired by the user. If the
disassembly is necessary, please contact the factory.

The instrument should not be used in an environment with strong electromagnetic interference.

Do not touch the tester with wet hands.

Do not use detergent to clean. Instead, use a dry cloth. If the dirt is not easy to remove, a soft
cloth with water or neutral detergent can be used.

Limited Warranty
Byte Brothers test equipment warrants to the original consumer that this product is in good

IP/CCTV Tester Users Manual

2.Introduction
2.1 General
The Camera Wizard II IP/CCTV tester is designed for the installation and maintenance of IP and CCTV
cameras and devices. CCTV tests: Video display, PTZ control, DC12V output power, audio test, color
generator, RS485 data decoding, picture and video recording, and image magnification. IP camera
tests: IP address scanning, PING testing, Link monitor, POE measurement, Port flicker and CAT5/6
cable testing. Note: The color LCD screen will only display CCTV images (not IP images).

2.2 Features

High definition 3.5TFT-LCD color display, 480(RGB)x320 (CCTV only)

Built-in LED flashlight

User-defined shortcut keysF1 and F2

Support for both NTSC/PAL video formats

10x zoom feature to magnify the video image (CCTV only)

Record and playback CCTV snapshots and videos using a micro SD card
(removable).

IP address scan to determine an IP cameras IP address

PING an IP address to verify the connectivity of IP cameras or network devices

POE measurement to test the PoE switchs voltage to the IP camera

Port Flicker blinks a switch ports link LED. Perfect for tracing cable locations.

Cable testing jack to test the pairs of a CAT5/6 cable.

Link monitor to display IP address usage on the network.

PTZ address scan to determine the address of a CCTV camera.

RS232/RS485/RS422 communication link to drive the PTZ unit.

PTZ testing for cameras so equipped. Driver supports more than thirty protocols.

DC12V 1000ma power output to temporarily power CCTV camera during test.

Audio input jack to test audio signals

Lithium Ion Polymer Battery . This power-efficient battery can last 11 hours during
normal use. Charging time is 4 -5 hours.

IP/CCTV Tester Users Manual

2.3 Functions
2.3.1 Video signal display
Display the CCTV image on the built-in high definition 3.5LCD-TFT 480RGBx320
full-view display color screen. Supports PAL/NTSC. The LCD screen brightness/contrast/color and
saturation are adjustable. Note: The color LCD screen will only display CCTV images (not IP images)

2.3.2 Video signal level test

Test the CCTV video signal strength (attenuation). Longer video cables cause the image to dim and
reduces the images dynamic range. If the video signal is too strong, it will cause a virtual shadow and
reduce the sharpness of the image. The level test also displays the video level value and, if out of range,
a notice will be displayed on the screen.

2.3.3 PTZ controller

While displaying the CCTV image, this feature pans, tilts and zooms the PTZ base, if the camera is so
equipped. The tester emulates many common PTZ protocols and sets up the controlling parameters like
protocol, communication port, baud rate, PTZ ID and pan/tilt speed. These parameters can be stored and
recalled (preset positions).

2.3.4 Enhanced Color bar generator

The video generator is a PAL/NTSC multi-system color bar video generator used to test the security
systems video monitors. With the video generator, you can judge whether the color is different because
of the transmission loss or interference.

2.3.5 DC12V 1000ma output power

Power the CCTV camera with the DC12V (1A) power output from the tester. This is helpful during
installation when camera power might not be available.

2.3.6 Audio testing

Test the audio input from pickup devices. Connect the tester and pickup device with the audio cable.

2.3.7 Cable tester

Test a CAT5/6 cables pinouts by using the cable test jack (UTP/SCAN) and the included remote.
Connect the CAT5/6 cable to the cable test jack. Connect the remote on the far end of the cable. The
cable test results show the pin-to-pin termination of the wires.

IP/CCTV Tester Users Manual

2.3.8 RS485 data test

Analyze the data coming from a RS485/RS422 device. The data is displayed in hexadecimal format.

2.3.9 PTZ address scanning

Discover the address of the PTZ camera.

2.3.10 Image magnification10xZoom

Set image 10x zoom, can view and display the details by 1x2x3x4x5x6x 10X zoom in the
monitor and tester.

2.3.11 Video snapshot

Capture the video image and save the current video frames as a JPEG file

2.3.12 Video record

Record and save the current video on a SD card.

2.3.13 Video playback

Playback the video images that have been saved on the SD card. The file directory name that is created
is based on the date setting of the tester.

2.3.14 Port flicker

Use this feature to blink the link LED on a switch port. Perfect for tracing the location of a cable that is
terminated into a live switch port.

2.3.15 IP address scan

Quickly determine a cameras IP address with the IP address scan feature. The IP address scan steps
through every possible address in the networks subnet to determine the IP cameras address. The
subnet is entered into the tester as part of making the tester a part of the same network .

2.3.16 Link monitor

The link monitor lists the IP address of all network devices that it discovers in its own subnet. This is
useful in making sure there is not a conflict with new IP addresses that are added to an existing network.

2.3.17 PING test

PINGING is a very popular network debugging tool. First, configure the tester with its own IP address
to make it a network device, then you use the tester to contact (ping) other Ethernet devices.

2.3.18 POE tester

Detect and display the existence of PoE power. When PoE power is present, the tester will measure and

IP/CCTV Tester Users Manual

display the voltage that the PoE switch or injector is supplying to the IP camera.

2.3.19 LED flashlight

Light up the workspace with the ultrabright LED on the front of the tester.

2.3.20 F1, F2 User-defined shortcut keys

The user-defined shortcut keys can be setup to do your most popular tests.
