Hi tom, Thanks for the reply, im afraid i beat you to it, got both copies

Hi, I have purchased a vista powerdome pro what hardware do i need to access the cameras menu's Thanks

Hi all, After all the sorting out it seems the camera was at fault. I have been given a like for like replacement set up the camera to the cnm secure dvr and it worked fine, i now have ptz control. My next problem seems to be the built in alarm, i sure the vista cam has a built in memory, when alarm is triggered it goes into a set tour, as this is still in the setup i can not set up a new tour with out clearing the previous tour, I have linked to a vista vkbd3i keyboard through the rj45 pins 4 and 5 and i have no control, this i understand might be a learning curve with regards to the buttons used and in which order, i have the instructions i downloaded from the net, Not sure if i need to set up the address dip switches on the rear of the keyboard, With regards to the alarm from the camera to the keyboard i could do with a wiring diagram at the rj45, i might be able to clear the alarm in the camera memory, I do hope this has made sense, please pick up on any mistakes i have made as you only learn from them, and from the sounds of it i need to make a few. Thanks
