bry25_uk Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 i have a sentient h264 ptz dvr and a vcl orb0006(honeywell i believe) and am having trouble connecting them. on the back of my dvr the interface has these connctions "+5,gnd,485b,485a,gnd,1no,1nc,gnd" on the cctv camera i have "s.gnd,sync,data-,data+,0vs,+vs,vgnd,video,0vh,+vh" according to the book on the dvr(lacking in detail to say the least!!) it supports rs232 and rs485. i have established that the 0vs and +vs on camera are a 12v supply and the vgnd and video are the videio line. i have connected these and have a picture, but am unable to get the PTZ side to work. any help is greatly appreciated. thanks
Guest Oxo Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 you need to connect the data lines so far you have power and signal not PTZ so 3 pairs in total,
james.wilson Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Does your dvr support vcl protocol? securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
bry25_uk Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 so far i have power and signal, its just the ptz that i cant get to respond. in the camera i have changes a dip switch which i am lead to believe has changed the protocol to pelco-d, the dvr only supports pelco-p and d. thaks sorry, what do i connect the data +/- to??

I think you will find 485A/+, 485B/- VCL domes are 24vAC If memory serves me well (as if) the bank of 4 dips the factory default is 0000 I think you need 0100 or vice/versa.

bry25_uk Posted January 26, 2011 Author Posted January 26, 2011 hi, that pic is exactly what my dvr looks like and in the book it says it does support rs232/485 for ptz. in the menus i can set up protocol, address,baud etc for each channel. i have linked the data+/- to the 485a/b with no response at all. the bank of 4 dips is how i have them set, this as far as i know is pelco-d. Are all domes 24vac? mine appears to be working fine on 12vdc, would it still work? thanks for your time people!!
