KTM450 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I'm after a little help if anyone can..... I run a small car park in Newbury which 2yrs ago I had a J2000 DVR installed - very nice piece of kit...I have 6 static cameras and one PTZ. The DVR is the same as the one on ebay that everybody sells. Currently I have the DVR rigged upto a PTZ camera and control it via the DVR which is obviously not ideal BUT as its just patrolling a preset route its fine... However following problems from scallies I now wish to operate PTZ independently and have purchased a system q PTZ700 2 axis controller.........All efforts to get the controller to move PTZ have been unsuccessful...Ive spoken with Phil at System Q but to no avail.. Ive checked the RS485 polarity, checked the dome address is 001, set protocol to Pelco D 2400 ect ect..I'm now banging my head as this is somthing simple I'm sure.. Anyone got any ideas??

Alarm Protection Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Could the camera have to be set up for protocol at the camera head?? Just a thought. ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTM450 Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 Could the camera have to be set up for protocol at the camera head?? Just a thought. On the actual PTZ there are two DIP switches... SW1 - protocol / baud rate switches 2 and 7 are set to on position for Pelco D 2400 Baud setting which works fine with DVR. SW2 - camera address All switches are set to off position meaning cam address is "001" as per manual Is this what you mean?? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John perhaps i'm going to look really really stupid here, but binary starts at 00 not 01 so you may have to set the switches to binary 00 on the controller to get unit 01 as a first unit - if you see what i mean reg alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

BUT Checking Pelco D page (which is what I'm using) DIP1 needs to be in "on" position.....Now I'm off to try once again after wasting a whole day playing with this......Enjoyable but madly frustrating! Will update in 10mins! fingers cross, touch wood and all that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
