DS-2DE7174-AE connecting to Dome Controller

[wimgrandia]

HI,

I recently purchased a Hikvision DS-2DE7174-AE PTZ Dome camera.
I was hoping that i could control its movement via a Konig Speed Dome Controller that i have laying around.
It uses RS485 and the Pelco-D protocol.

But... Fist things first; how do i connect the two to eachother? Out of the controller comes two wires connected to the A+ and the B- of the RS485 connector but my Hikvision PTZ has a bunch of colored wires but nothing that looks like A+ or B- or any reference to RS485..? I've tried the ALARM_IN1 and ALARM_IN2 but no luck...

Can anybody give me a hint (or more.. )

Thanks,
Wim

Hikvision support emailed me:

"The PDF in your email is outdate. The DS-2DE7174-AE doesn’t support RS485.
We advise you the DS-2DE5120I/5220I-AE camera which can support the HIKVISION, Pelco-P, Pelco-D, self-adaptive RS-485 Protocols"

So even though you can find .pdf documents on the Hikvision website that say it does support peldo-d it doesn't... :s
