Hi mate Depends on te age of the camera, exact model number would be useful also the type of camera block can help to identify weather it will or not. The older domes only did mercer 485 not pelco. Even the newer apex and vertex domes had lite and pro versions, the latter being the one that supported pelco. Hope this helps Sam

Hi mate. If the HDD is brand new you need to initialise it prior to installing, also using a formatting tool, pre format to fat 32, put it in the machine, then you should be able to format, mount and allocate the HD from record options depending what version of SW you have on the DM. Best regards Sam

Hi pal This is probably something you have sorted however if not, you have a couple of options, you can either solder your own connector up using pins 1 and 9 or you can run the 2060 on BBV coax. The SDAD is a fantastic machine if somewhat menacing to use, I have worked with many different DM u its so if you need any help, give me a shout! Sam

Hi mate, It depends, if the unit is pre 2007 you might struggle changing protocol, if it's a newer mic you can change it with the mic software. Sam

@poidaDagrate You can reprogram them yourself if you have a nulmodem cable and an FTP client like FileZilla, There is no monitor output on the dvips and from what I believe no cd drive so you have to do it manually. What dvip unit is it that you have? Sam

Hi mate, Axis server should have Pelco P or D, Set dome to pelco, connect dome telemetry cables to server com port and you should be able to control from axis webserver. Best regards Sam

Hi mate, I have the same issue, The answer to your question is yes you can controll them with a CAT5 lead streight out of the dome top, On the connector on the dome you will see the pin outs marked up on the PCB, to controll the dome you need " C RS485" REMEMBER ITS 12V NOT 24V! hope this has helped, Best regards Sam

Glad to be of assistance right the Kalatel i think might have vista or baxall in it im not entirely shure but i do think your just better of with pelco d. can i ask what is your aplication i.e cameras, controllers, recorder ect? Best regards Sam

They will all probably have pelco p or pelco d in them as its a verry common protocol.

Hi Mate id say dont even bother using it its one of these cheap ones of ebay and will more than likely kill you or your equipment. Id recomend gettin some proffesional kit. Also if its a dome your gonna need something that outputs the same protocol what dome are you using please?

Hi Thats great im glad you have managed to find out about it a bit more but ill make some calls and see who i can find who might be able to help you best regards Sam.

Hi mate right your best bet would be to try get hold of a reciever and transmitter of ebay if you have a dc head make shure you get a dc reciever. Or speak to paul,Dave or Kris at BBV theyre a great bunch and im shure theyle help you . If you need any more assistance please let me know and i will be happy to help. Best regards Sam.

Hi I think you get pelco d out of the serial telem port hope this helps best regards Sam.

Yes i think he just rang FV up and asked for a refurb unit and they had some so he bought one so i sugest giving that a try best regards Sam.

Nicely done good on you mate

Does any body have a reliable cheap PTZ Dome they use ? Hi yes i use the markmercer d150 they are a good ptz but are arround £1500 and they make a bit of noise as they use stepper moters also vcl orbiters i think they are really great and there quite expensive but alternatevly if you want to go really top quallity go to forward vision and try getting some refurbished mickeys my mate got a refurb for only £400 hope this helps regards Sam.

In the second pic it looked like you were changing the dennard 2000 with a nother head howcome? best regards Sam

Hi why dont you try stealling some trafficlight cable...... only joking dont do that you could try a local hire center like A plant and ask for some traffic light cable that what i used to do hope this helps regards Sam.

Right mate iether remove the jumper on the rx100 or turn the home possition of in the dome.

Hi mate id go for the bbv kit rather than switches as with switches you could damage your p/t head by pressing down and up at the same time. so what id do is 1 go and try get a telemetry transmitter which suits your needs Dedicated micros do a sprite lite multiplexer which transmitts telemetry bbv coax is the telemetry signal you need but remember only some sprites tranmit telemetry so make shure you get the right one 2 get hold of 2 bbv rx300 telemetry recievers these are the basic recievers from bbv you can get far more sophisticated one but for a greater price. onece you have all this connect the recievers to the pan tilt heads run coax from your recievers to your transmitter and set your transmitter to bbv coax and away you go hope this helps best regards Sam.

Hi id chuck it in the bin if i were you and get myself something like a vantage evo dome regards Sam.

Hi mate go on ill give you that it is a verry good picture. But i say stay away from the ljd speeddomes i had one of them a 240 volt and i powered it up and it gave me a bloody great wacking shock and spent a night in accident and emergeancy. But you mentioned the DM dvrs they are a brilliant unit as i have one myself the quallity is just astounding. Hope to here from you soon best regards Sam.

Hi i wouldnt bother to be honest ljd are a load of crap.

Hi mate right if you got some money go for a BBV kit they really are top quallity i have a BBV tx100 controlling a bbv rx100 for a FVS metal mickey and a rx45x multiprotocol reciever here is a couple of manuals sor you to read hape this helps best regards Sam.http://www.bbvcctv.com/files/manuals/Rx45X_AC-Rx55X_DC_Manual.pdf thats the rciever and heres the controller.http://www.bbvcctv.com/files/manuals/Tx300-400-1000MK2-1000_Manual.pdf and finally the rx100 interface.http://www.bbvcctv.com/files/manuals/Rx100_Manual.pdf hope this helps Sam.

Coincidence i have ad domes aswell right as far as i know you can program presets direct from a ds2 but you see i never bother with preesets as i dont need them. But i used to have a digital sprite lite mux and i could program preesets direct from that so can only assume you can with a ds2 hope this helps best regards Sam.
