I have MPEG4 4ch dvr and I want to use a vga monitor on it. It has a male vga connector and says that it needs a converter to connect a monitor. Is it just a female-female vga adapter? Thanks Mike

Are you certain it is a focus issue? Focus is very non-critical when an iris is closed. It is only critical when the iris is open. I'll give it another try but i won't get a chance till Thursday night.

If I focus it for night, it's out of focus during the day.

The third picture cam from a GEN IV. I had the gate camera connected to a Dedicated Micros but was getting quite a bit of loss through it so I connected it directly to a Pelco CM6800 matrix.

The color camera is a PC33CDN-4G Day/Night Color Surveillance Camera. I'm off today so I don't have the lens and b/w camera inoformation with me right now. The PTZ is an ACD-1500.

Mainly if the gate is open, closed, or blocked. Not a lot of detail like license plates or driver really. Can't put a cam on the chiller.

I am trying to get a view of this gate day and night. Distance is about 200' So far I've tried a 1/3" Color Day/Night 480 lines .01 lux(doubtful), and an old 1/3 BW. With an Auto Iris lens's both cameras drift out of focus as it gets darker. Different AI lenses. With varifocal lens's both slowly go to black as the sun goes down. This is a shot from a PTZ we have about 500'. Same camera specs as the color cam. Of course they can't cut down the trees... From what I've read on here it would be to far to use IR unless it was lit from the side, possibly form the chiller on the right in the second pic. I'd like to stay < $500 Thanks Mike...

Will Pelco Coaxial control work over cat5 & baluns? Thanks mike...

What I was looking for was something like the spectra dome series. with a built in receiver.

Besides pelco what other cameras support coaxial control for PTZ?

Thanks, I ordered the SCT-CRX-Pelco-Pelco and it works great.

Like he said it's poledit.exe. If it's not on the C: drive it should be on the CD in the tools directory. Lot's of nifty tricks in it. 98 is pretty hard to totally lock down from someone who knows what they are doing. 2k and XP are better, especially if they are on an AD.

It sounds like the PC's have been locked down by policies. Look for poledit.exe, I think it is on 98. You can use it to edit the policies.

Is there a converter available to allow a Pelco Matrix (Coaxial) to control a RS485 only PTZ camera? Thanks Mike...
