tank_fv101 Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Hello all, I decided to sideline my other cheap PTZ (in another thread), as it's awful quality. I managed to get a secondhand American Dynamic PTZ from eBay. It's a SpeedDome Ultra 8 - 540tvl. What is puzzling me are the wires! They've all been snipped, except for the BNC. I've got a black cable with blue and brown wires inside (which must be the 24V power), and then two white cables, each with 6 wires in them:- Black, White, Blue, Yellow, Red and Green. I'm planning to use it with my Dedicated Micros Sprite 2 (old rounded front style). Can the PTZ be used for RS-485? If so, how do I do it? Many thanks for your time.
tank_fv101 Posted August 10, 2011 Author Posted August 10, 2011 Update:- I've connected the transformer and the BNC lead and the camera goes into its 'Self Check' mode fine, and has a lovely clear picture. Now I just need some help to work out how to control it! !

tank_fv101 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Posted August 17, 2011 Thanks for the information, that's great. Now, to show what a novice I am, what is the cable called that I need to extend these wires? If this is too difficult then I may be tempted to pay someone to do all of this....so if anyone is in the Croydon area and is competent, let me know!
james.wilson Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 how far do you want to extend them? securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
tank_fv101 Posted August 18, 2011 Author Posted August 18, 2011 It's just 8-10 metres. I can do the BNC and the power no problem, but I'm not sure of what the main data cable is called? Also, why are there two lots of the data cables coming out of the camera? I'm guessing it's so it can be linked in series with another unit???
james.wilson Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Some data protocols are 4 wire, ideally you want a belden cable but you could use cat 5 Some data protocols are 4 wire, ideally you want a belden cable but you could use cat 5 securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
tank_fv101 Posted August 18, 2011 Author Posted August 18, 2011 Thank you! I'll order some now. Any idea why there are two sets of identical cable?
