this is my first post ,so hi all, I am new to the cctv scene and I am trying to correctly control a no name ptz camera (could be a geovision camera ) as the circuit board in the camera is theres . and the dipswitches inside work according to there protocol list.
I can get the avtech 674b to control the pan tilt and zoom of the camera ,but a cannot access the camera osd menu to set tours etc . the dvr is set as pelco d as is the camera .
I have tried pelco p on both dvr and ptz but no comms . I don't know what the NORMAL protocol is on avtechs dvr so cant try to set this on the ptz .
also its suggested that the preset 95 works to access the osd but im not sure if the camera goes upto 95. I have tried setting a 95 preset but it doesn't seem to respond to it .
im unsure of which way forward to go. would buying a camera controller work across the rs485 or does it need to be specific to the camera .
the setup is for home security and a tour/scan is needed as it will monitor 3 different areas.
