Yes, the voltage should vary.

0-6 VDC Generally IIRC

Use an Led, works every time.

Thanks guys. I did have telemetry, now i havent.

Tried rs485, rs422, all different combinations of protocols, and nothing.

Cable is okay. Hoping its a simple case of plug on circuit board being duff.

An LED across the + and - then go and move a cam. If it lights up then the DVR is ok for telem.
